“The picture that seems bad and small, contains thing big and important. Yes, hides a secret that this is the greatest treasure of the world. A further conceals the fact that nothing greater can not uslyšeti on the ground. The secret TO BE Lord at all times whom never lacking in funds and will do so shall have a healthy body and life so long that it will take up to the time predestined, already exceeds any thing. All I want now to report, as a figure that clearly tells. We see a shield, which in three parts breakdown, and it is an eagle, a lion and a star. And the orb in it, namely in the middle, and also the heavens and earth are busily displayed. Then his hand, which each serve, you see the signs of metal. The circle that surrounds drawing, is noticeable here seven words. Now I want to make known what all this means, and then I’ll also say I want to all be called. And as all this may be prepared by, it also follows. The three peaks mean just salt, sulfur and mercury.
The effects of this awakening will take some time for the consciousness of the individual to adjust to, and is not limited to the ‘non-physical’ realms. The physical body, although to a lesser degree, is also changed and improved in functioning, constituting a genuine “re-birth’ on several levels. However, it is up to the mind, or sense of “I”, of the individual, to cooperate with this influx of power if more permanent changes in consciousness are to be made.
As we can see, the concept of kundalini, or the Secret Fire, is linked to two polar concepts: that of the undifferentiated creative energy, and the second, as the seed of this energy locked on each cell of material creation, and focused in humanity at the base of the spine.
When this energy rises as a result of psychic experiences, and not because of physical weakness, it can cause the Vital Energy of the body to be concentrated on various areas of the body, creating physical and psychic disturbances. If the energy becomes concentrated in the head, it can create the illusion of a spiritual awakening, as well as the well known “hot and cold” flashes, or currents, up and down the spine. The effects of the Secret Fire however, and not its re-distributive effects on the Vital Energy, can create the following phenomena:
Intense pains suggestive of an illness
Crawling sensations of ants or small bugs over the skin, as well as a ‘jumping’ sensation of the energy
A feeling of crystal clear calmness and tranquillity, rise from center to center to the top of the head
Ascending in the famous ‘zigzag’ or Rising Serpent pattern
The energy can skip a center or two
The energy can reach the top of the head in a flash of light
The character attributes of both positive and negative are exaggerated and sexual power is increased.
If the energy rises to the top of the head, then it becomes possible to work directly on the Vital Energy within the body, and use it, as a means of enhancing the psychic experience and spiritual awakening.
In short, the psychic centers must first be awakened by the Secret Fire and purified, before the energy of the physical body, can be concentrated upon them.
Thus, our psychic exercises, and esoteric meditations are designed to prepare our minds, bodies, and consciousness for the liberation of the Secret Fire buried deep inside us. Through a progressive cleansing of the blood, nervous system, and endocrine glands, the ‘chains’ of the Vital Energy upon the Secret Fire are reduced and eliminated, allowing the ever present power and energy, a veritable pressure waiting to be released, to spring into action. Thus, the Serpent doesn’t really sleep, it is we who are asleep to its presence and potential blessing.
