Is a nondual realisation equivalent to a kundalini activation?
liminal_luke replied to idiot_stimpy's topic in General Discussion
Aspiring beginners like me love the idea of oneness until it dawns on us what it really means: everything is chit. -
Thanks but IĀ“ll pass. IĀ“ve been so many times already and once youĀ“ve seen one fair maiden thrown into the ritual firepit youĀ“ve seen them all.

ItĀ“s all good, Bindi. To clarify, my post referred to "subtle body work" as a general category. I do not claim experience or expertise with kundalini, which, reportedly, can indeed be dangerous. ThereĀ“s a Bon practice of "hosting" emotional issues in silence, spaciousness, and stillness. When seen in the context of infinite spaciousness, difficulties that seemed overwhelming often resolve. To my mind, these "three pills" of silence, spaciousness, and stillness are attributes of the central channel. In this way, central channel work does have a connection with emotional processing. (Perhaps IĀ“m posting in the wrong thread, but I hope the above ideas do not prove too unpopular. Rumor has it IĀ“m a lock for this yearĀ“s unpopularity win and donĀ“t want to "gild the lilly.")

The manifest and unmanifest world -- two great tastes that taste great together.

Apech predicted Steve might unseat me as winner of this seasonĀ“s unpopular opinion award At the time, IĀ“ll admit, I was skeptical -- but IĀ“m starting to come around.

You seem to think that my post about the central channel amounts to nothing more than parroting the views of others and that I have no direct experience of what I speak. I suspect that the larger Bum community wonĀ“t have much to say about your opinion one way or the other, but, speaking personally, I find it deeply unpopular.

Not at all -- stay! .

HereĀ“s a potentially unpopular opinion. ItĀ“s good to develop fluency in both directions -- from manifestation to wuji, and from wuji to manifestion.

Subtle body work and nondual traditions need not be at odds. The central channel is the anatomical seat of nondual consciousness in the human body, imo. Bringing our awareness to the center, we become centered. Resting our awareness in the center continually, we enlighten. After enlightenment, there is no need to direct attention anywhere because everywhere is experienced as the center.

You might just be right about that. I didnĀ“t get the award for most unpopular opinion last time but hey, IĀ“m a fast learner.

I donĀ“t know what the above means. Sounds like the women at the indigenous camp have a great system. Communal ties are everything.

Not really. The post you quoted was written in jest. But my heart does go out to those parents who have moments when they would like to retroactively abort their children. Our society doesnĀ“t have much empathy for the parent who says "I deeply regret having had kids." Such a statement would make one unpopular in most mommy groups. And yet IĀ“d wager that most parents, particularly new parents, feel ambivilent now and then. ThatĀ“s a perfectly natural and to-be-expected feeling and I think we need to make space for it.

Scared of Bob judgement? Yeah, maybe a little.

Oh, nothing worth losing sleep over, I assure you. HereĀ“s a sampling. You know how people argue about when life starts with pro-lifers arguing that it starts at conception and pro-choicers arguing that a fetus is not a human being? IĀ“m something of an extreme pro-choicer. I believe life starts at 18.
