Dear Harsha,

Can you say more about this? I am interested in how you understand this
'censorship mechanism', what happens in certain kinds of awakenings that
causes this, and not in others. Sometimes you say something about kundalini
that seems so clear and insightful, and I think if I can just ask the right
question, then years of the kundalini struggle will suddenly clear up, and I
will be able to "fix" the problem of the lost veil between conscious and
unconscious awareness.

Love,

Jill

Hi Jill,

 I will pass this on to the Kundalini list as well. What I say is based on
my own experiences and observations over the last three decades. The topic
of Abnormal Kundalini awakenings is a difficult one. Books could be written
on it. I will be brief.

 First, Kundalini Awakening are highly individual and vary widely. Although
I am neither a psychologist nor a medical doctor, my view is that abnormal
and abrupt Kundalini awakenings can at times considerably weaken the barrier
between the so called "unconscious" and the "conscious" portion of the
mind. When the censorship mechanism is suddenly worn out, the unregulated
overload of the stream of anarchy which lies below the surface, and is
really preface to language and thought, cannot be digested as information by
the rational mind. The persistent anxiety and a sense of doom and fear
results partly from the "conscious mind" not being in a position to
understand the location and the source of the fears. In experiencing the
fear, the mind becomes the fear. The fear causes more anarchy in thoughts
and feelings and thus it can become a cycle. At a physiological level, the
extreme stress of an abnormal awakening can cause the hyper stimulation of
the nervous system and indirectly the optic nerves and this in turn affects
the heart beats, blood pressure, etc. This can also become a cycle with one
part of the bodily mechanism alerting the other to go in full swing.

  The yogic interventions to normalize the Kundalini awakenings are well
known. Ultimately as in most things, time itself is the best friend and the
best healer when the circumstances and the environment are relatively
favorable.

Hope it makes sense
Love to all
Harsha
