Hillary,
During one of my more intense Kundalini moments several years ago, I
definately experienced being Shakti copulating with Shiva on a
blanket of stars before time began. I was/am Shakti. This was when I
saw the Shri Yantra appear, as Shiva/Shakti became One, One
brilliant, incandescent Chakra. I saw the Universe created and
continually be created, destroyed, and recreated because of the Union.
It was a moment of intense, blissful, joyous cosmic orgasm that
lasted for weeks almost non stop.
Many things resulted from that moment. One specifically was I totally
lost all preconceived notions and teachings about religion, guilt,
heaven and hell and sex and God in an instant while I surrendered to
Shiva as He made love to me and I made love to Him. (this is a former
strict baptist fundamentalist speaking here). I realized Sex and
God/dess are intimately entwined or are the same thing. ( I can tell
you what kind of day it was outside, the date of the day, where I
was, what was happening, probably even the hour. :)
I can't separate One from the Other. It forever changed how I view
and experience Sex and God/dess/Spirit/Energy.
I also had a knowing in an empirical way the nature of Energy and the
Universe and Reality. The knowing continues.
Love,
Susan
