(Video Clip) Gopi Krishna: Our Super Conscious Brain - Kundalini Awakening

Gopi Krishn started on a discipline of meditation to discover who he was. After having been engaged in this formany years, he had his first Kundalini experience at the age of 34, which he describes in this segment. 

(article) A Comparative Thesis on Thelema and Kashmir Shaivism - Jonathan Bethel and Michael McDaniel

"Out of all the possible mystical paths to one's Godhead, the schools of Thelema and Kashmir Shaivism are two that concur on the fact that man's divinity is self manifest or preeminent, without struggle, process or need for technique."

(online book) Kundalini, The Evolutionary Energy in Man - Gopi Krishna

Gopi Krishna describes his own personal experience of Kundalini awakening that unfolded over more than 25 years of his life. It's a mind bending, often frightening, yet ultimately revelatory and inspiring, personal odyssey not to be missed.

"It remains for me, as an historian of world religions, to introduce this book by putting it into the framework of Indian religious history. For Gopi Krishna is of unusual interest, first as an example of a most thorough-going mixture of East and West, and secondly as a self-taught prophet of an original kind. Gopi Krishna's approach appears as a great surprise because in his book, except for the last chapter, there is no mention of spirituality, religion and metaphysics. Gopi Krishna's endeavours appear as a historical laboratory in which he, the author, develops genuinely in himself what others have developed before him. But he re-mains independent of his fore-runners, who frequently have wound up in sterile intellectual formulae. By contrast, this self-taught, Guru-less author remains genuine in all his discoveries."

(article) Devil of the Astral Light: Eliphas Levi’s Baphomet - By Michael Osiris Snuffin

"The dread Baphomet henceforth, like all monstrous idols, enigmas of antique science and its dreams, is only an innocent and even pious hieroglyph.” 

"This agent... is precisely that which the adepts of the Middle Ages denominated the First Matter of the Great Work. The Gnostics represented it as the fiery body of the Holy Spirit; it was the object of adoration in the Secret Rites of the Sabbath and the Temple, under the hieroglyphic figure of Baphomet or the Androgyne of Mendes.” - Eliphas Levi

(article) Chakras and Kundalini ... What's All the Fuss?

Over and over again I always hear people talking about chakras and kundalini when it comes to meditation and spiritual cultivation. Because of the early influences from Indian yoga and then the introduction of tantric methods of Tibetan Buddhism into popular consciousness, many people think that chakras and kundalini are the most important things to be cultivating on the spiritual path.

(online book) Kundalini: Psychosis or Transcendence

In a darkened room a man sits alone. His body swept by muscle spasms. Indescribable sensation and sharp pains run from his feet up his legs and over his back and neck. His skull feels as it will burst. Inside his head he hears roaring sounds and high-pitched whistling. Then suddenly a sunburst floods his inner being. His hands burn. He feels his body tearing within. Then he laughs and is overcome with bliss.
