Kundalini: Your Secret Potential

The Divine Within
by Lawrence Edwards

Now, what if that computer is really your mind/body and the secret built-in program is the inherent power of grace - known as Kundalini in the ancient yogic traditions - the power of transformation and revelation - awaiting it's time to awaken and totally transform your experience of life?

For Christians this is the true baptism of Fire, the influx of the Holy Spirit that transforms the vessel of our individuality to hold Divine Wisdom and Grace, thus allowing us to genuinely know and serve the Divine.

For Buddhists it is awakening to the Buddha within, the true empowerment that extinquishes the cause of suffering and enables one to live spontaneously as a perfect expression of Dharma, relieving the suffering of all beings who take refuge there.

For the yogi this is the awakening of Kundalini, the ultimate innate power of transformation and revelation that purifies mind and body of all obstructions, bringing the ego mind into surrendered service to the Divine.

The Kabbalist awakens to the knowledge that individuals are appear empty, like cracked vessels made of God's Light and longing to be full. We are instantly filled with the living Light of the Divine when the leaks are sealed by good and loving deeds.

Every spiritual tradition has its ways of speaking of this Power of Grace, Illumination, and Revelation. They also point out the dynamics of the ordinary ego mind's resistance to surrendering to It. Most teachings, in fact, aim at the workings of the mind. No words can approach the Divine, so all that's left to speak of is the mind! How to get it to become still, how to cajole it into submission, how to prevent it from inflicting suffering on others or itself, and rules and practices to accomplish this!

The ego-mind loathes to truly admit a Power and Presence greater than itself, but when confronted with the overwhelming power of the revelation and transformation, it folds to the floor in awe and wonder! When Lord Krisha reveals his true nature to Arjuna in the Bhagavad Gita, the great warrior Arjuna, overwhelmed, ends up on his knees begging the Lord to return to his ordinary form. In the end Arjuna surrenders completely, famously stating to the Lord, "I shall do thy bidding."

True seekers throughout time have sought the wellspring of the power of Grace that effortlessly brings the mind into it's proper place. The wellspring lies within. Tat Twam Asi. "Though art that," proclaims the Vedas. "The Kingdom of Heaven lies within," proclaimed the Christ.

So where do you think the King and Queen dwell?

Go within, go within - this is the message of every spiritual tradition. Go beyond mere philosophies and techniques. Go to the Source, go to the Wellspring. Meditate with enthusiasm and joy!

Awaken now, at last!
