Aghora 2 : Kundalini by Robert E. Svoboda, 1994 NEW Paperback 9788171673438

Description: AghoraBy Robert E. Svoboda The study of philosophy without a longing for liberation is like dressing up a corpse.鈥欌€?Tripura RahasyaIn earlier times, esoteric knowledge was closely guarded and only shared with those who had patiently waited for years to be taught. However, in today's world, information has become readily available for purchase, and it seems that all secrets can be accessed by anyone who can afford a book or tape. But the availability of secret doctrines does not guarantee easy comprehension. While words can be bought and sold, true wisdom cannot be confined within them; it must be earned.One of the long-hidden secrets now being packaged for sale is the lore of Kundalini, the root from which all spiritual experiences sprout. Unfortunately, most writers who attempt to present this living knowledge produce only dead words. As Heinrich Zimmer observed, "The best things can't be told; the second best are misunderstood." Carl Jung, who delivered lectures on Kundalini, explains why it is so difficult to convey this knowledge:"The experiences of Kundalini Yoga are peculiar because Kundalini is the source of all your experiences. Kundalini is that in-dwelling energy which, by self-identifying with your opinions and character traits, accretes and preserves your identity."Kundalini is the force that drives the urge for individuation, the process of becoming a unique and conscious individual. When this force is directed towards benefiting one's own limited self, it is called ahamkara or egoism. However, when Kundalini turns towards the spiritual, it becomes impossible to continue believing that external reality is the sole reality. Ahamkara makes you who you are now, while Kundalini shapes what you will become.The reason Kundalini has remained a secret for so long is that it cannot be understood; it can only be experienced. The process of spiritual evolution cannot be objectified and separated from the subject who evolves. Descriptions of Kundalini tend to be skewed because human language is made up of subjects and objects. Words either devitalize the experience or are distorted by the experiencer's mental imbalances, stresses, and fantasies.While some writers have made valuable contributions to the literature on Kundalini, their words often get in the way of conveying its incomprehensible secrets. Kundalini can only be understood within the context of Indian culture. Unfortunately, many Western interpreters of Kundalini have assigned meanings to Tantric words that vary significantly from their original definitions. Even Jung, who borrowed concepts from Kundalini Yoga, acknowledged the danger of misinterpretation:"For these symbols have a terribly clinging tendency. They catch the unconscious somehow and cling to us. But they are a foreign body in our system鈥攃orpus alienum鈥攁nd they inhibit the natural growth and development of our own psychology."It is clear that Kundalini cannot be fully grasped through words alone. It requires direct experience and a deep understanding of Indian culture. The true essence of Kundalini cannot be easily conveyed or comprehended, and it remains a secret that can only be unlocked through personal exploration.In conclusion, the lore of Kundalini is a deeply profound and mysterious subject that cannot be fully understood through words alone. It requires personal experience and a cultural context to truly grasp its essence. While many writers have attempted to convey its secrets, their words often fall short. Kundalini remains a secret that can only be unlocked through direct experience and inner exploration.
