Are you tired of reading about others' experiences with Kundalini and the
chakras? Or sick of the intellectual sleight-of-hand by which charlatans have
bandied about these concepts without regard for what is really active and
changing within your system? Whenever you feel as though you are operating a
few cylinders short, you are accessing only a portion of your available Kundalini
energy.
It is our birthright to evolve, develop, and become superpeople. Life's simplest
problems may have imbalanced or blocked Kundalini flow at their root. Everyone
has Kundalini, just as everyone has sexual impulses. In light of today's tenor of
cosmic flux, not to know about Kundalini is tantamount to refusing teenagers sex
education. The more we know, the more choices we have.
Whether you have experienced the "big release" spontaneously but have been ill-
equipped to channel its force in a productive manner, or whether your Kundalini
is dormant like a wintering bear but poised to wake up ravenous for knowledge in
the Spring of a new personal consciousness, this book is your guide to satiating
the strange, new appetites which result when life-in-process "blows open" your
body's many energy centers.
As the energies of the Aquarian Age intensify, more and more people are
horrified, frightened or even incapacitated by indescribably powerful spontaneous
Kundalini releases. In many cases, people have no idea what's happening to
them, and, reacting with ignorance to symptoms of illness or insanity, worsen
what already seems like an impossible situation.
For the newcomer to Kundalini and the chakras, this book is a blessing. It
provides detailed instructions for initiating preliminary system-cleansing in
preparation for release. Because Kundalini energy is sometimes so potent that
its "human module" finds it difficult to function in daily routine and commitments,
the author provides methods for moderating or holding its release in check.
With personal-scale evolution suddenly on a strident quanturn-track, there is a
great need for guidance to soften transitions between our various states of being
in our process of evolution. Knowing and understanding Kundalini does make the
process much easier on body, mind, and spirit.

Foreword
Kundalini was a totally unknown word to me when I first became aware of its
power. It was some time before I realized what had happened. I did have the
help of direct guidance through clairaudience from Beings who guided me
through the various stages. Much of the information in this book came to me
originally from these Beings.
It was not an easy road (the worst of it took seven years); it was interesting,
traumatic sometimes, enlightening other times-but not easy. I came from a
traditional church background, even serving as administrator of a 700-plus
congregation at one time; opening up to these new concepts was strange. Later,
my understanding of Christianity was strengthened through what I was learning.
Kundalini certainly is a basis for religious and belief systems.
Kundalini is not exactly a household word yet, but increasing numbers of people
are not only aware of it but living with its experiences. The "Kundalini Blues" are
not yet an acceptable reason for staying home from work or not keeping up your
l
l
l
  end of things; I hope this book will help you not only keep up with your life but
bring optimum evolutionary change into it.
Even though I had guidance from the Beings, and a lot of faith and help from
others, the journey was still lonely. So are all spiritual
journeys. Get yourself a journal to talk to. It always listens, never interrupts, and
remembers what you write. Another reason for keeping a record of your
experiences is that you, too, may write a book about Kundalini someday.
I hope this book will alleviate some of the concerns, questions, and loneliness
you may have. I wouldn't trade the journey I've had and still have for anything.
May you find it worth your while as well.

Kundalini:
the Evolutionary Energy
l

Chapter 1

Introduction
Everyone has an inner drive to excel or be special at something-to be unique.
Sometimes people reach for this in negative ways. The underlying drive in all
people, however, is one of evolution-to reach for enlightenment, to be God-like
while still human. In the Upanishads, it is expressed:
Dwelling in this very body, we have somehow realized Brahman [expansion,
evolution, the Absolute, Creator, Preserver, and Destroyer of the universe];
otherwise we should have remained ignorant and great destruction would have
overtaken us. Those who know Brahman become immortal while others only
suffer misery. [IV, iv, 14/Swami Nikhilananda translation.]

In the New Testament, Jesus answered:
l
l
l
l
Is it not written in your own law, "I said: You are gods"? Those who are called
gods to whom the word of God was delivered and Scripture can not be set
aside." John 10:34-35/The New English Bible
We find that we are all called to go beyond our humanness toward greater
heights. The Kundalini energy pushes each of us toward this goal of
enlightenment-knowing the light, knowing God.
In Tibetan Yoga and in other secret doctrines, it is expressed:
By means of Shakti Yoga [energy discipline], the Tantric yogin
attains discipline of body and mind and then proceeds to the
mighty task of awakening the dormant, or innate, powers of di-
vinity within himself, personified as the sleeping Goddess Kun-
dalini. ... Then, from the mystic union of Shakta [at the top of
the head] and the Shakti, is born Enlightertment; and the Yogin
has attained the Goal. 2
Kundalini, a Sanskrit word meaning "circular power," is an individual's basic
evolutionary force. Each of us is born with some of this energy already flowing.
The amount available and usable determines whether a person has low
intelligence, is a genius, or is somewhere in the middle.
It is not just a matter of using what we already have, but of awakening the much
greater amount waiting in the Kundalini reservoir located at the base of the spine.
Kundalini is a natural force common to all of us. It is not a religion, although it is
practiced by some religions and the process can enhance and develop each
person's own religious beliefs.
Ancient Eastern literature contains a great deal of information on the Kundalini.
This is not true of Western literature; but more is being written. As interest in the
Aquarian Age grows rapidly and brings stronger energies to facilitate
spontaneous Kundalini release, people in all walks of life, all ages and all levels
of growth, experience Kundalini, regardless of cultural, philosophical or religious
backgrounds.

  Little information is available for people who have not even heard of Kundalini
and wonder at the causes of their physical, mental, or emotional suffering or
breakdown. Even those in the growth and help fields do not have easy access to
information for counseling those who release extra Kundalini before their
systems are ready and experience problems on all levels of life, as if 220 energy
suddenly coursed through their 110 units; fuses blow and circuitry melts.
One reason for the lack of information is that many people, though
knowledgeable, are concerned about the Kundalini power's potential for harm;
they feel nothing should be done with it-no exercises and no training-because of
the possibility that this awesome force will turn destructive. This attitude is much
the same as that of people who say that if you don't educate children about sex,
there won't be any problems.
Another reason is that many people regard Kundalini as a new age fad. Nothing
could be further from the truth. Kundalini can be considered the oldest known
science. In previous ages people raised Kundalini under the guidance of
teachers and in controlled circumstances, preserving what they learned as an
esoteric knowledge. But we have entered a period of time in which the esoteric
becomes exoteric.
People whose Kundalini was raised without their knowledge, relating symptoms
of their condition to others, were generally considered crazy or physically weak;
they may even have considered themselves crazy. The process may entail great
confusion and fright beyond the exhilaration and sense of being uplifted.
It is evident from their writings that Christian mystics had experiences of released
Kundalini, which they referred to as sufferings. They understood the process as
one which would bring union with God.
Gopi Krishna has been a modem exponent of this evolutionary energy. His own
Kundalini release came from meditation practices he undertook without prior
formal training.3 He spent years working with and understanding what was
happening to him. His experiences and writings have been very beneficial to
others who have not had previous training.
