July 2002 The Magic of Kundalini by Stephen Sadleir

Most of you have heard that human beings only use 5 to 10 percent of their brain, and scients speculate that we have a vast potential which we have yet to fully tap into. So, what’s happening with the other 90 to 95 percent of your mind? As you evolve to the point where you realize you have a latent potential for developing a higher awareness, you will then be guided to the people, places and circumstances which will provide you with the tools you will need. This article may serve as a key.

Millenniums ago the yogis who were in search of God, spent hours sitting and turned their awareness inward. They looked deep into the core of their being, and discovered who they innately were and why they were born….they realized God––they became enlightened. Since this time, many thousands of those in search of Truth have learned from these gurus the secrets to this Self Discovery and in doing so, enlightened their own consciousness. The path of yoga, and the discipline of meditation, has since been clearly tested and proven for awakening consciousness and Realizing God. But it involves more than yoga postures and breathing, it involves more than an understanding; it involves a direct connection and transcendental experience of the Self.

One of the core principals of this process is to begin to know that there is something to be realized. And, further, that you are being guided to this potential by an innate intelligence who we might call our Spirit. In India, however, this energy is referred to as your Kundalini––your life force energy which causes your heart to beat, enables you to take a breath, directs the regeneration of your cells, and enables you to read this and think about what the words mean. By getting in touch with your spirit/life force/innate-intellence/kundalini you discover who you are and why you were born. It was this spirit that guided you to this article and which gives you the impetus to read and reflect upon it. The more we get in touch with this Spirit, the more we get in touch with our Self.

The fact you are alive is living proof that you have this life force energy active within you. By putting your attention on this force, or kundalini, you develop greater awareness of it. It responds to your attention. By directing your mind inward and observing this force, and its source, you develop greater awareness of your Self. The ancients used to focus their attention on the point between the eyebrows to invoke their kundalini and connect with their Spirit. Through their Guru, or teacher, they would discover the ability to attune to this higher nature and put in to use this part of the brain at the top of the head, a place referred to as the Crown Chakra.

The point between the eyebrows, referred to as the Third Eye, or Ajna Chakra, facilitates the movement of your life force energy circulating in your nervous system, and concentrating in your spinal cord, up into the Crown Chakra or Thousand Petal led Lotus. The Thousand petals are referring to the thousands of nerve fibers connecting all the neurons in your brain. When this energy is brought up into the brain, it stimulates neurons which have been inactive. As this region of your mind is activated, it brings back the latent memory of who you are and why you were born. The awakening of your Kundalini enlightens your consciousness and enables you to fully realize God.

If this is true, then there is a direct way to awaken your consciousness and realize God. We are all evolving, and there is a Divine Plan laid out to awaken the consciousness of the plane...and you are a part of it. If this resonates with you, if you want to more fully awaken your consciousness, then I invite you to join us is developing this connection and involving yourself in the movement to awaken the consciousness of the planet so we may all live together in happiness and peace.
