The meeting with my initiator was a preordained factor in the sequence of
my awakening that my biology was in total coordination with trans-spacetime.
Something I had intuited as a 16 year old, half a world away. Now many years
after my peak I basically do inhabit a new bodymind, with new senses, new inner-
feeling and Presence, for kundalini has indeed made a permanent home in my
body. I passed through the confusion being so subatomicly affected by another
human being to understand this kind of alchemical event as a transpersonal
nonrelationship that occurs as part of the Necessity of the awakening of the
global brain.
There is little material out there that people going through awakenings can
really “use.” Having to go through our awakening blind, without knowledge or
support, can create a lot of secondary effects like resistance, panic, depression and
damage to the body via addictions and inertial coping mechanisms. Since kundalini
is the transformative fire that burns through and transforms all illusions, blocks,
neurosis, bad wiring, PTSD, and damage of various kinds, it is not advisable to
try to stop it with heavy foods...but instead learn how to ride the wave with the
greatest skill and assist the energy in its transformative work. However many of us
do try to slow it down by various means anyway, because that is what we humans
do—seek to “control.” Believe me you will regret it if you try to back down...
because the awakening will last about 3 years and you want to make the most
amount of progress in that time. Any inertia you place on yourself will cause
damage to your organism by overworking organs with clogging foods, drugs and
other devitalizing methods.
It wasn’t until 3 years after my 2000 awakening, having attempted to
progressively rationalize the “how” and the “why” of the alchemy, that I finally
grokked the role that free radicals play in kundalini. After this pivotal eureka it
was just a matter of time till I figured out the rest of the chemistry and many tools
for dealing with the alchemical process of awakening. Through Grace the pieces
of the puzzle came together allowing me to offer you this manual for coping with
evolutions most arduous and mysterious ordeal. Since I didn’t have a teacher or
sangha I had to rely on my inner teacher and so the physical, mental and emotional
trials of my awakening resulted in my looking within for many tools to cope with
the extreme chemistry. These are detailed throughout the book and especially in
the Kundalini Skills List.
There is an enormous amount of growth that occurs in an awakening and the
loss of normal ego mode provides energy for the wholesale inevitable changes. It’s
like the organism is completely stripped and trimmed for the storm. It’s absolutely
mind blowing all the factors involved and how it all comes together. Through this
book I hope to do my bit to promote a science of spiritual evolution so we can
participate consciously in the discovery of who we really are.
The Universal Man is an archetype like the Magical Child, the Wizard, the
Messiah, the King, or the Sage. He exists within us all as a symbolic figure that
heralds a new beginning, and holds the promise of transformation. As deeper
layers of the psyche present themselves they appear as the other-within...which
