An awakened Kundalini makes demands

Here is a response to a question about Kundalini

 The awakened Kundalini makes demands on you, didn't you know?"(Michael)

That's a great question. And to be quite honest I'm not sure. I was under the impression that having the energy awakened would among other things give me a heightened sense of clarity and connectedness to my true nature and all that is. The present moment. I was hoping that I would be guided towards what to do with it. is this not one of the "effects" of the awakening? A clearer communication with source? A removal of blockages physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual in nature?
if so, I welcome all of those results as I am a serious "seeker" & keep being guided back to things related to kundalini. I do have apprehensions bcuz I know this is very serious business. I need a practice that wrks & some guidance frm someone w experience. I have taken ayahuasca 7 times with amazonian shamans. If you r aware of this medicine, how does it relate, if at all? Can you give examples of the kinds of demands you speak of? (GORG).

(Michael) I waited to answer this question last to form the example of answering the other questions you had.

 In your desire to know more about the Kundalini, you had to expend time and energy, your most precious resources, to ask more questions about the Kundalini. Because of my pursuit of expanding the presence of the Kundalini in my life, I am answering the questions from you and others.

The future is always present in the Now as a shadow of things to come.As you get closer to the future moment when the shadow will manifest, the shadow gets bigger.

In the case of the sincere seeker, like yourself, there is always a feeling of the approaching moment when the Kundalini will awaken. Even if the nadis have not been cleared, there is this impending  feeling like a lightning storm is about to break. There is tension in the air. 

The PRANA Water was developed to help many people awaken their Kundalini quickly, without much help from a 'Guru'. Perhaps someday I will explain how this this product is in line with the trend to make concrete the path of the siddha's, as are tv and cellphones. The drinking of the water brings on the removal of blockages, a clearer communication with the source, and a connectedness with all there is. These are signs of clearing of the nadis, in preparation of the awakening of the Kundalini.

These signs are not the awakening of the Kundalini. These signs can be compared to the chirping of birds in the predawn light. When the Kundalini awakens, it is like the Sun coming up with the first start of Beethoven's 9th. There is just no comparison.

The Water is in the tradition of drugs, like ayahuasca, and gems, etc, that can give a glimpse into the state of samadhi. The problem with drugs, etc, is that you leave that state, and come back to a mundane existence. 

You learn over time that you are addicted to the state, not the drugs. This is the conclusion that Richard Alpert came to before he met his Guru, Neem Karoli Baba. When he met his Guru, his guru asked for the LSD he had with him. When he took the drug, there was no change in him. Baba Ram Das (Richard Alpert's spiritual name) concluded that the state that Neem Karoli was in also included that drug induced state as part of his being.

The main difference between the Water and drugs is that the Water first clears out the nadis, allowing the Kundalini to awaken naturally. Then there is an awakening that is permanent.

An awakened Kundalini is our natural state, and only is not awakened in a normal adult because the Kundalini cannot rise through the Sushuma, as that nadi is blocked. To awaken the Kundalini without clearing the major nadis, would cause disease or death.I have met people that awakened the Kundalini and subsequently died from that improper  awakening.

The full force of the Kundalini is not awakened when drugs are used, as that would cause death. Instead, a small window is opened to look at a small part of the vast panorama of experience that is available.

To summarize, here are some examples of the demands that put upon you in your desire to awaken the Kundalini. There is a time honored path of the siddha's that minimizes the dangers associated with the Kundalini. Prudence demands that you accept a path like this (there are others) to safely awaken the Kundalini. Subsequent demands are put upon you once the Kundalini is awakened. My writing to you is an example of the demands put upon me.
