There is some confusion in people's minds regarding this subject, which is the subject of Kundalini. Nowadays, there's a lot of mystification about this expression “Kundalini,” and it has even become a myth. The truth is that people don't know what it is, what this word really represents. People have some mystical, so-called spiritual experiences, extraphysical contacts or contacts of some kind, and they attribute this to the presence of or contact with Kundalini. We need to demystify this.
Here on the channel and also on our other channel, we have several videos giving you the real meaning of this, demystifying this idea that thought has built up. Our thoughts are capable of great constructions, from the imagination to create all kinds of things. The simple truth of Kundalini is the direct awareness of this Real Consciousness present here, at this moment.
We are not aware of this Real Consciousness, we are not aware of the truth of what Kundalini is. The presence of Kundalini here, in this body-mind, is the presence of this true Consciousness. What some call Kundalini energy is nothing other than this vital energy, it is the vital energy of Kundalini, which is present in this mechanism, in this organism.
When there is a Kundalini Awakening, note, it's not contact with something mystical, esoteric or so-called spiritual, it's a change due to the power of this energy, which was previously directed towards the external or towards the experiences of the senses or being wasted in the conflict present in duality, something present in this egoic identity.
Notice, in this sense of “I” we are living a life where there is this pattern of duality, there is this “I” and experience, “I” and life, “I” and the world, of course, “I” and thoughts, “I” and feelings, “I” and emotions. In this separation is present the psychological condition of the human being in conflict, in suffering, and this represents a waste of energy.
When this energy becomes available for something new, and this something new is the Truth of the Revelation of your Being, from Self-Awareness, being aware of what Meditation is, naturally we have this Kundalini energy operating a change in this body, in this organism, in this brain – in the own brain cells we have a profound, radical change. So, this is the simple and direct truth of Kundalini Awakening.
Notice, it's the emergence of a state free of the ego. If there is no such state free of the ego, there is no Real Kundalini involved, present. Everything the mind creates is within its model, it's within itself. It can have fantastic, extraordinary, so-called profound or fulfilling experiences; it can acquire certain powers, but they are psychic powers for that mechanism, for that organism. So, it's very common for people to mistake this truth of Kundalini Awakening for acquiring extraphysical powers.
Human beings can develop powers, it is possible. Due to certain psychophysical changes in this organism, some powers may arise, but please note that the truth of Kundalini Awakening is not the achievement of powers, but the awareness of the absence of duality, of separation. Those who realize the Truth of what they are, which is the Truth of God, become aware of non-duality.
The expression here is Advaita, non-separation, non-duality. So, your Natural State of Being is a state free from duality, it's a state where what is present is this energy of pure Consciousness, taking over this body and this mind. This is the Presence of Consciousness. The Real Consciousness in you is Being, Happiness, and that is Kundalini.
Notice that this contact with Reality, which is beyond the known, is contact with the Truth of God. You, in your Being, in your Natural State, function in a completely different way to the average human being. In our common model of thinking, feeling and acting, our actions are egocentric, our thinking comes from a model of psychological conditioning, our feelings are guided by this psychological model of thought conditioning.
So, in this conflicting state of being, this being present is the egoic identity. This is not real in your Natural State, this is common in the egoic mind, in this sense of the “I,” in this sense of someone present in life, living experiences. A real work on oneself is the end of this old condition, the end of this restrictive model of life, of egocentric existence. The sage of Arunachala, called Ramana Maharshi, left the Atma Vichara. Atma Vichara means the observation of this “I,” the awareness of self-observation. It's in this sense that we have self-investigation.
In general, people translate Atma Vichara as self-investigation. Here it would be more accurate to use the expression self-observation instead of self-investigation. This is about approaching a free look from the “I” towards this experience of this instant, this present moment. This is how we approach Self-Awareness, this is how we approach Meditation and this access to Kundalini Awakening. Now, there is an energy available to bring about this transformation, this change.
Understand what we are putting here for you. The moment you are upset, angry, worried, afraid, the moment you are involved within a pattern of psychological conditioning, where your pattern of thinking and feeling is involved with some level of egocentric activity, you are in a waste of energy, occupied with this common pattern of conditioning, in duality.
The thought in you moves from a thinker. Notice how interesting that is. A feeling moves from an element, which is that “I” in feeling. A perception is seen from a perceiver. Notice that here we have a movement of separation, of duality. When you are preoccupied, it is the movement of thought, the images that come from the past, guiding a life of a present entity, which is the thinker, which, in fact, we are dealing with an imagination.
In this pattern of duality, there's the thinker with its thought, the worrier with its worry. If it's anger, it's the angry one with its anger, if it's fear, it's the fearful one with its fear. This is the model of duality, of illusory separation. Here is the waste of energy, when the one who is the observer is observing its experience, when the one who is the experiencer is experiencing its experience. So, that's what this waste of energy, of Consciousness, lies.
Look how simple it is. All the energy you have available in your body comes from food. This vital energy has the physical aspect and also the mental aspect, and this is something that is being wasted in this psychological condition of conflict, due to duality. When you learn to become aware of this movement of duality, at that instant you highlight the presence of an Attention, an Attention that makes this observation available.
So, this self-observation is observation without the “I,” without the observer, and when this is present, this duality is undone. So we are in direct contact with the presence of Self-Awareness, which is Meditation. As there is no longer this waste of energy because this Attention is no longer sustaining, this Mindfulness on this instant, is no longer sustaining this duality, where there is this worried person with its worry, this fearful one with its fear, this thinker with its thought, there is no longer this separation, there is only a present experience and a look free from this center, which is the “I,” the ego. Thus we have a direct observation of what is happening here and now with this mechanism, with this organism, with this body, with this mind.
There is only a perception without the perceiver, there is only a look without the observer. Then this energy becomes available because the mind quiets down. There is a space that opens up when the mind becomes silent; it is aware of itself, aware of itself and therefore free of this duality – get this – free of this separation. That's when there is the Awakening of this energy, the energy available for this work in this body, in this mind, which also includes, naturally and above all, this brain.
Note, we're talking about something scientific. It's a science that we don't know about. So, Spiritual Enlightenment, the Awakening of Spiritual Consciousness, the Realization of God, there are various names for this Natural State, including this expression, the Kundalini Awakening. So, what is Kundalini Awakening? You'll notice that we're presenting you here with a very different approach to what people understand Kundalini to be.
Note, it's not an experience that someone has, goes through the experience and then says: “my Kundalini has awakened.” There is no such thing as “my Kundalini.” There is only this Real Consciousness and it is not personal, it does not belong to someone. You can't have an experience called Kundalini because the truth of Kundalini is the Truth of Real Consciousness, which, when it takes up its space, the experiencer is not present, there is no someone present to report something. It's not something that happened in the past, it's not an experience, it's not part of memory, it's not part of knowledge. Everything that is part of memory, that is part of knowledge, is part of time.
Here, contact with Divine Reality is something that is outside of time. Do you get that? There is a Reality present here, at this instant; this present Reality is outside of time, outside of the known. Notice, it's something outside the movement of the ego and therefore of memory, it's not part of thought. Thought, time, memory is something within the movement of the known, which is part of the “I,” which is part of the ego. Here is contact with something outside all that.
So, becoming aware of this Reality of your Being at this instant is the Awakening of your Divine Nature. Thus, an approach to Ramana Maharshi's Atma Vichara is an approach to the awareness of Real Meditation. We have several playlists here on the channel presenting you with this issue of Meditation, Self-Awareness and Kundalini Awakening.
I'd like to invite you: we have online meetings that take place on weekends, where we work on this with you. It's a possibility, through questions and answers and in this contact with Silence, to get closer to the Divine Reality, which is the Reality of this Being that we are. I'd like to invite you here.
We have meetings here on this channel, as well as on our other channel. You can find the link to our other channel in the description of the video and find out about the videos we have there. We also have face-to-face meetings and retreats. If this makes sense to you, go ahead, leave your “like” here, subscribe to the channel and please say “Yes, it makes sense” in the comments. OK? And we'll see you. Thanks for meeting us and see you next time!
