Explanation
The book is emphatically not a guide to the awakeneing of kundlini. On the other hand, there is an aura encircling all rightful experiments and experiences which can be conveyed when through the medium of print. This aura not only clears the outlook of the earnest student of life, but also helps to raise his consciousness to the more rarefied levels where the eternal dwells less veiled by the shadows of time.
Chapter I The nature of kundalini
Glimpses of kundalini in action are vouch-safed the student who is content to watch and not to grasp. Let the descriptions be read lightly, not with the mind but with the intuition. Thus, however fantastic they may seem, yet the reader will perceive that they are fantastic not because they are untrue but because they are too true.
Chapter II The universe-kundalini and centres
Is there a kundalini chain linking the constituents elements of our own solar system, and another chain linking together the various solar systems? Surely so, and specualtion is no less interesting as to the nature of the centres of solar system and as to their vivification by cosmic kundalini. To understand this tremendous vista it is necessary to learn how to arouse and direct kundalini to the various centres of the vehicles of a human being.
Chapter III The dangers of kundalini
Can the brain stand the pressure? This and the sex danger are, perhaps, the principal questions with regard to the arousing of kundalini. Extreme circumspection is vital, for the serpent-fire does not discriminate. It consumes. It tends to flow along the lines of least resistance, and sometimes such lines may lead downwards and not upwards, with indescribably disastrous effect.
Chapter IV Kundalini active everywhere
Wherever there is life, there is kundalini more or less awake and awakening. But the conscious direction and handing of its power is another matter altogether. One of the effects of kundalini is the intensification of the sense of unity. A breaker-down of barriers between the varous layers and states of consciousness, kuindalini is also the breaker of barriers between the individual himself and the larger self without.
Chapter V The development of kundalini
In the begininings of this process dizziness is noticeable, which is perhaps the physical expression of a new relativity, of a new adjustment, other worlds than the physical beginning to be open to a gaze which the individual has not yet learned to control. Sensitiveness is enormously increased, making the individual a kind of sensitive palate upon which, for example, people in the outer world imprint themselves, so that in a flash he knows their natures, specially the high lights of quality and the low lights of defect.
Chapter VI Sun-kukndalini and earth-kundalini
The heart of the earth is one pole of kundalini, the sun is the other. Now the awakening of kundalini is tantamount to making oneself the rod between the two. In one sense one everis a rod, but the rod is not yet alive, awake. It is asleep or dreaming, and the fire itself slumbers. To awaken kundalini is to fan the fire into a consuming flame, burning, purifying, energizing, making conscious contact with the universal fire.
Chapter VII The high purpose of kundalini
Whether in fact clairvoyance, etc., arises or not, though in course of time it will, is of far less importance than the definite establishment of the higher consciousness-Buddhic and later Nirvanic-in the waking consciousness, which is the high purpose of the arousing of kukndalini. This means an extraordinary vivification of intuition-pure knowledge undistorted by the personal equation. One even feels inclined to tell some of one's friends, if they ask, quite franky what they need.
Chapter VIII Centres and functions of kundalini
It seems as if kundalnin can be sent forth from any centre though preferably from the solar plexus centre or from the centre between the eyebrows. We thus begin to realize that the great centres of the body are the main distributors of force. It is not a matter of eyes or hands or feet, but of centres.
Chapter IX The individuality of kundalini
In some mysterious way kundalini remains for ever individual to its recipient, howerver much it may always be inseparable from the universal fire whence it issues forth. In some mysterious way it partakes of the nature of the permanent atom, cannot disintegrate, and form the eternal fire of the evolving individuality.
Chapter X The music of kundalini
Kundalini is music as well as colour. It is a throbbing majesty of sound and a rainbow of colour. Kundalini sings with the voice of all that lives. In the singing is heard the voice of the unity of life, and in the colours is felt the warmth of life.
Chapter XI Account of an experience
The student finds himself on a stream of kundalini, and moves on the stream towards time's beginnings so far as this particular evolution is concerned. He moves back and back and back, until he finds himself strangely immersed in the majestic profundities of the opening of a new era of life.
