we might project onto a living being in our waking lives and thus we fall in love
with this person. We tend to lose the power present in the internal archetype as we
project that power onto a mere worldly version. The awesome energies and extra
sensory phenomena of such a transference occur because this process is causal, and
breaks through the veil that separates the conscious mind from the subconscious
and superconscious. Our work of transformation is to consciously integrate the
archetypal soul within ourselves in order to use its powers in the world. I think
enlightenment is the process of the realization of our imperfection and the ability to
act anyways with anything and all that we have got. (See Exploring the Symptoms
for more detail.)
The risen lifeforce of kundalini creates an amplification and heightened
sensitivity to both our interiors and our external world. Thus we have no choice
but to face into our condition because to avoid doing so is tantamount to spiritual
suicide. The bliss and Grace of kundalini make it almost impossible to deny love-
consciousness and forfeit our existence as Spirit.
“To this day I find myself trying to get a handle on that Shakti and make it mine.
But I can’t possess it—I can only be possessed by it.” 87, Joseph Chilton Pearce, The
Biology of Transcendence
The more we learn the more we know our ignorance and
thus humility and awe define the mystic soul.
