The Following is from The Basket Of
Tolerance, Booklet Series, number 5. Published by the Dawn
Horse Press, from an Essay by Ruchira Avatar Adi Da Samraj,
published in
2000. (read
origninal text with parenthetical) There are actually two
distinct traditions associated with the cosmically
manifested Kundalini Shakti. The first
tradition associated with the Kundalini
Shakti is founded
upon the bodily point of view, and it is associated
with the
ascent of the
natural energies of the physical, etheric and lower
mental dimensions of the human body mind self. This
tradition is, originally, associated with the
ancient animistic and shamanistic cultures of
mankind, and it developed, over time, via such
traditions as Taoism, Hatha Yoga, and the lesser
modes of Tantrism. The second tradition
associated with the Kundalini Shakti is the
tradition of Kundalini Shaktipat, which is the
process of the descent
and circulation of
the cosmically manifested Divine Power. And this
tradition is of Divine origin. That is to say, this
tradition is not the product of human psycho
physical efforts to achieve the Divine Condition,
but it has appeared spontaneously, Given by the
Divine, and Transmitted via various lineages of
Yogic Siddha Masters: In the domain of popular
religion, this Kundalini Shaktipat tradition is
represented, for example, in the legend of the
Spiritual Baptism of Jesus of Nazareth by John the
Baptist. In the modern era, this Kundalini
Shaktipat tradition has been represented, for
example, by Ramakrishna," in His spontaneous
Transmission of Spiritual Power to Swami
Vivekananda, and by Bhagavan Nityananda, in His
Transmission of Spiritual Power to Swami
Muktananda. In the same manner, I, in My
present-time bodily Form, Received Kundalini
Shaktipat from several individuals, including
Bhagavan Nityananda, Rang Avadhoot, Swami
Muktananda, and Rudi. And, in My Case, the Divine
Spirit-Transmission was, at last, also Given most
directly, in Person, and in Its Utter Fullness, by
the Divine Goddess, "Shakti" Herself. However, My
own Realization, Thus Served by Means of the Divine
Spirit Transmission, Most Ultimately became Such
that My own Avataric Work of Divine Spiritual
Transmission, although It also Manifests via the
signs otherwise characteristic of Kundalini
Shaktipat, Originates and Manifests in and via and
at and As the Heart Itself, Prior to all
limitations and conditionality Therefore, My
Avataric Work of Divine Spiritual Transmission
directly Reveals the Perfectly Subjective Divine
Heart. The commonly known
tradition of the Kundalini Shakti is associated
with self applied Yogic techniques that are
intended to raise up the natural energies
associated with the lower physical personality
Thus, those Yogic techniques are generally
associated, first, with efforts to arouse the
natural energy that is otherwise locked into the
base of the body, and, second, with efforts to
raise that energy, upwards, via the ascending
hierarchy of the various key centers of the spinal
line, until (eventually) the ascending energy flow
is released to the most ascended Source Condition.
And, in the course of that ascending process, many
symptoms of the partially ascended Kundalini Shakti
may progressively appear. And such signs may
include not only various Yogic powers, and many
visions, auditions, and so forth, but they may also
include various Yogic diseases. The lesser known tradition
of the Kundalini Shakti is also associated with the
same phenomena of ascending Yoga that for example,
in the legend of the Spiritual Baptism of Jesus of
Nazareth by John the Baptist. In the modern era,
this Kundalini Shaktipat tradition has been
represented, for example, by Ramakrishna, in His
spontaneous Transmission of Spiritual Power to
Swami Vivekananda, and by Bhagavan Nityananda, in
His Transmission of Spiritual Power to Swami
Muktananda. In the same manner, I, in My present
time bodily Form, Received Kundalini Shaktipat from
several individuals, including Bhagavan Nityananda,
Rang Avadhoot, Swami Muktananda, and Rudi." And, in
My Case, the Divine Spirit Transmission was, at
last, also Given most directly, in Person, and in
Its Utter Fullness, by the "Divine Goddess", Shakti
Herself. However, My own Realization, Thus Served
by Means of the Divine Spirit Transmission, Most
Ultimately became Such that My own Avatarie Work of
Divine Spiritual Transmission, although It also
Manifests via the signs otherwise characteristic of
Kundalini Shaktipat, Originates and Manifests in
and via and at and As the Heart Itself, Prior to
all limitations and conditionality. Therefore, My
Avataric Work of Divine Spiritual Transmission
directly Reveals the Perfectly Subjective Divine
Heart. Also, the senior tradition
of the Kundalini Shakti is associated with a
process in the total Circle of the body mind. This
is because the descending and circulating Spirit
Power moves in the total natural circuit of the
body mind. Thus, the descending and circulating
Spirit Power first enters the frontal line, where
the foundation work of opening and purifying the
physical, the etherie, the emotional, and the
mental personality must he accomplished. Then,
potentially, once the frontal line is sufficiently
purified to allow the descending Kundalini Shakti
to turn about at the bodily base, the Kundalini
Shakti spontaneously begins the upward Yogic
course. Thus, because the true process Generated hy
Kundalini Shaktipat Works first in the frontal line
and then in the spinal line, the Kundalini
Shaktipat tradition actually begins in the Event of
the truly Spiritual Initiation of the "basic"
fourth stage of life, and, thereafter, it continues
in the "advanced" fourth stage of life and the
fifth stage of life. But the lesser tradition of
the Kundalini Shakti is hased on a system of Yogic
philosophy that idealizes Yogic ascent, and,
therefore, the lesser tradition of the Kundalini
Shakti is associated with systems and techniques of
practice that are intended to strategically develop
the ascending Yogic process in the context of the
'advanced" fourth stage of life and the fifth stage
of life, thus bypassing the foundation Yogic Ordeal
associated with the 'original" and the 'basic"
fourth stage of life.
