It's quite interesting when people use expressions like "kundalini"; when they ask about how to awaken kundalini. The idea they have about this expression makes it very clear that they are associating it with all sorts of things in a very confused, quite disoriented way.
We have within us the presence of a Reality that is present, but despite being present, it remains silent, unknown, mysterious: it is the presence of the Truth of Reality about You, it is the Reality of this Being; this Being is Divine Reality. The ancient Indian sages used the expression "Kundalini" referring to this silent, hidden, unknown Presence within us. Therefore, the expression "Kundalini" is, in reality, synonymous with the Divine Presence in each of us.
So, what is the Reality of Kundalini Awakening? Will it be the awakening of mystical, so-called spiritual powers? Observe that these powers are still associated with some level of personal achievement. And what is the truth about the person? Here we are dealing with an illusion, because the Divine Truth of Being, which is Kundalini, is not a person.
We see ourselves in time and space as a present entity separate from life, to obtain something, to conquer things. This is the idea of achieving something special for oneself. This only gives us specialism, it makes us more "someone," beyond the "person" we are; now we are special because we have certain virtues, certain power, certain achievement.
However, the Truth of Spiritual Awakening, of Divine Awakening, is not the awakening for someone, it is not the awakening of someone, it is awareness of the Truth; the Truth that the person is not real, the Truth that the sense of the "I" is an illusion. So, what is, in fact, the Kundalini Awakening? It is the awareness that there is a single one Reality here and now revealing itself; this Reality is the Reality of this Being. It is not someone who awakened, it is not someone becoming better, special, or virtuous, or powerful.
What brings us closer to the Truth of Awakening, of the Flowering of this Being, is the Truth about who we are, it is the recognition of that. And there are two aspects here. The first is the truth that we are in what we demonstrate to be, in what we appear to be. As people, we live overwhelmed with problems of psychological disorder, of emotional disorder. As a person, we live in stress, with anger, with fear, with anxiety, with worries. As a person, we live in a state of isolationism, of separation.
Thus, the person we are consists of a set of memories we carry about ourselves. Therefore, the idea of someone present is the idea of the person "I am." Therefore, the first aspect here, which once seen, clarified, ends up being discarded, is the illusion of the ego, the illusion of the person - so, that is the first aspect. The second aspect is the awareness of the Truth, of the Divine Reality that is present here, which is not the person.
So, there is something present: it is the Reality of Being. And there is also something expressing itself here, in this model that has been repeating for millennia within this context of human history, and particularly for some years now, ever since we see ourselves as people, ever since we were born. This form of representation of being someone is the life of the "I," it is the life of the ego. Therefore, the truth about this is the discarding of this psychological condition of a mind that repeats itself, of a mind that follows this program of culture, of society, of the world.
This is how thought within us is repeating itself, having as its principle, as its basis, the model of memory. How can we be aware of this? By the study of ourselves, which is what we are proposing here for you: to study oneself, to comprehend the person you are. It's not you, see, it's not you acquiring knowledge about yourself, it's you being aware of yourself. The awareness of yourself discards the illusion of this "you" that thought established, that thought constructed.
So, the broader and deeper the vision, the more enlightened and lucid the perception of oneself, the closer we will be to the Truth of Self-awareness; and it is this Self-awareness that liberates. Freedom here is the end of the "I," it is the finalization of the "I," it is the end of the "I," of this false identity. So, Spiritual Awakening or Divine Awakening, Spiritual Enlightenment, the names are diverse for something that is beyond words; this something that is beyond words is the Awareness of the Truth that this mind as we know it, within the known, no longer exists.
This is the contact with life in this learning about Self-awareness. If you drive a car, it's because you learned; if you speak a language other than your native tongue, it's because you learned; if you know something, it's because you learned. In fact, in life, everything was learned. It may seem curious, but you learned to see. Yes, because when you are a baby, your little eyes are open, but you don't know how to see. You learn to see, to be aware of objects, to have perception of details in vision.
So, the baby learns to see, he has all the potential, all the capacity to see, but he is just being aware of shapes, of colors; he is in a learning process; in this learning, he is learning to see. We learn to listen, we learn to walk, we learn to speak, we learn to chew, everything in life we learn. Here, we also need this learning, this learning about ourselves. What differs is that this learning does not require memory.
All other forms of learning require the presence of memory. So, we go through experience, register the experience, and acquire memory. This memory is now knowledge. This knowledge takes a form of expression, which is the presence of thought, of image, of picture, of word, it is the form. All this represents the presence of memory.
Here, learning about ourselves requires a new way of learning, which represents contact with life, at this moment, without conclusions, without evaluations, ideas. Ideas, evaluations, and conclusions are something that come from the past, are something that come from memory. Unfortunately, we are always having contact with life at every moment without the art of this new learning, so we are always evaluating, judging, comparing the experiences of the moment based on the past, and that is not learning about oneself.
Learning about oneself requires looking at the moment, allowing that moment to be comprehended and dissolved, so there is no record, no memory, no knowledge. And yet, we have at this moment, in this new learning, which is learning about the Truth of what we are, the presence of understanding, of the understanding of Life.
It is not someone having an understanding of Life, acquiring an understanding of Life, storing an understanding of Life, accumulating knowledge about Life. It is the presence of comprehension, the awakening of intelligence itself to deal with the present moment without the interference of the past, without these evaluations, conclusions, ideas, and concepts.
Notice the beauty of this. This encounter, in this new format with the present moment, in this learning about ourselves, in this learning about the Truth of Being, which is learning about Self-awareness, we have here the presence of Meditation. The most important thing in life is the art of Being, without any idea of becoming, without any belief of needing to be, to become, to achieve, to obtain something. So, we discard the very idea of this Kundalini Awakening as something to be obtained.
Here, this Awakening is to assume the Truth of Being; this embracing the Truth of Being is the awareness that reveals itself at this moment when memory has lost its importance. We don't need the past to deal with life here and now, we only need the awareness of this Presence, of this Divine Intelligence.
So, what is Meditation? What is the Truth of Meditation? What is it? It is the Presence of Life revealing itself in this learning, here and now, moment by moment. So, it is revealed, here and now, at this moment, your real encounter with God, with the Divine, with Life, with Truth. Therefore, the answer to the question "How to Awaken Kundalini," if it is well understood, is the answer to the question "How to find God."
However, in thought, people place this in the future, they place Kundalini as a project, as something to achieve, as a mystical, esoteric, spiritual experience; they place the idea of God as something, also, in the future, that will be found through an experience that is also spiritual or esoteric, of meditation practice.
Notice that here we use these expressions, but with a completely different meaning. Here, the Truth of Meditation, Real Meditation, is not a practice for someone to perform. It is not about technique or practice, where you dedicate a few minutes to silence the mind through technique, through effort, through concentration, or a breathing technique. It is not about something like silence obtained through practice.
Here it is about the Revelation of the Truth of this new space where, yes, in fact, the mind silences, the brain quiets down, and Divine Reality reveals itself here and now. This is the real encounter with God. It is not someone having an encounter with God, it is the Reality of this Being, which is the Divine Truth, revealing itself at this moment.
Therefore, there is no separation between the Truth of Real Meditation, which is this awareness of the Truth of Life, which is this awareness of Life here and now showing itself without the sense of the "I," and the Truth of this encounter with God, which also is not separate from the Beauty of the Awakening of Consciousness. The Truth of this Real Consciousness, of this Divine Consciousness, not of what we also know as consciousness, which is the presence of the egoic mind.
Thus, this Real Consciousness is Divine Reality, it is the Reality of Being. This is the Presence of Kundalini. So, there is a new brain, there is a new mind, there is a new heart, there is a new way of dealing with the world around you, as well as with people, with situations, as well as with everything around you, without the illusion of someone present seeing themselves separate from all this, because the sense of the "I" is no longer there, because the sense of the ego is gone. So, the beauty of the encounter with Divine Reality is the awareness of the Kundalini Awakening. It is not someone who awakened Kundalini, it is the Truth of this present Reality, which is the Truth of this Being.
