Hi,

I've discovered Lobsang Rampa when I was 17 years old, I'm 40 now and
when I read some of the recent post, I thought to put an extract of his
book. Recently, I personnaly had fighting with myself and this extract
gives me good energy to accept things and surrender like it did with
other bookd I read when I was younger.
In particular, I pratice tantra and this extract is really good in
summarizing and showing keys stuff regardless grounding, sexuality,
kundalini,what we can do on other dimensions...

Extract from Lobsang rampa book: Rampa Story
*******************************************************

I laughed and said, "You people think only of sex, you think that a man
travelling alone is a freak, someone of whom you must be suspicious. I
am a tourist, I am seeing the sights. I can see women anywhere.
He looked at me with some understanding in his eyes, and I said, "I will
tell you a story, which I know, is true. It is another version of the
Garden of Eden."
"Throughout history in all the great religious works of the world there
have been stories which some have believed, but which others, with
perhaps greater insight, have regarded as legends, as legends designed
to conceal certain knowledge - which should not fall before any chance
person because such knowledge can be dangerous in such hands.
"Such is the story or legend of Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden,
wherein Eve was tempted by a serpent and in which she ate the fruit from
the Tree of Knowledge, and having been tempted by the serpent, and
having eaten of the Tree of Knowledge, they gazed upon each other and
saw that they were naked. Having obtained this forbidden knowledge, they
were no longer allowed to remain in the Garden of Eden.
"The Garden of Eden, of course, is that blissful land of ignorance in
which one fears nothing because one understands nothing, in which one
is, to all intents and purposes, a cabbage. But here, then, is the more
esoteric version of the story.
"Man and woman are not just merely a mass of protoplasm, of flesh stuck
upon a bony framework. Man is, or can be, a much greater thing than
that. Here on this Earth we are mere puppets of our Overself, that
Overself which temporarily resides in the astral and which obtains
experience through the flesh body which is the puppet, the instrument of
the astral.
"Physiologists and others have dissected man's body, and they have
reduced everything to a mass of flesh and bone. They can discuss this
bone or that bone, they can discuss various organs, but these are all
material things. They have not discovered, nor have they tried to
discover, the more secret things, the intangible things, things which
the Indians, the Chinese, and the Tibetans knew centuries and centuries
before Christianity.
"The spine is a very important structure indeed. It houses the spinal
cord, without which one is paralysed, without which one is useless as a
human. But the spine is more important than that. Right in the centre of
the spinal nerve, the spinal cord is a tube, which extends to another
dimension. It is a tube upon which the force known as the Kundalini can
travel when awakened. At the base of the spine is what the Easterners
call the Serpent Fire. It is the seat of Life itself.
"In the average Westerner this great force is dormant, asleep, almost
paralysed with disuse. Actually it is like a serpent coiled at the base
of the spine, a serpent of immense power, but which, for various
reasons, cannot escape from its confines for the time being. This
mythical figure of a serpent is known as the Kundalini, and in awakened
Easterners, the serpent force can arise through the channel in the
spinal nerve, rise straight up to the brain and beyond, beyond into the
astral. As it rises its potent, force activates each of the chakrams, or
centres of power, such as the umbilicus, throat, and various other
parts. When those centres are awakened a person becomes vital, powerful,
dominant.
"With complete control of the serpent force one can achieve almost
anything. One can move mountains, or walk on water, or levitate, or
allow oneself to be buried in the earth in a sealed chamber from which
one would emerge alive at any specified time.
"So we have it in the legend that Eve was tempted by a serpent. In other
words, in some way Eve got to know about the Kundalini. She was able to
release the serpent power coiled at the base of her spine and that rose
up and surged through the spinal column, and awakened her brain and gave
her knowledge. Thus in the story it can be said that she ate of the Tree
of Knowledge, or of the fruit thereof. She had this knowledge and with
it she could see the aura, the force around the human body. She could
see the aura of Adam, his thoughts and intentions, and Adam, too being
tempted by Eve, had his Kundalini awakened and then he could see Eve as
she was.
"The truth is that each gazed upon the aura of the other, seeing the
other's naked astral form, the form undothed by the human body, and so
could see all the other's thoughts, all his desires, all his knowledge,
and that should not be at the stage of evolution of Adam and Eve.
"Old priests knew that under certain conditions the aura could be seen,
they knew that the Kundalini could be awakened by sex. So in the old
days priests taught that sex was sinful, that sex was the root of all
evil, and because Eve tempted Adam, sex was the downfall of the world.
They taught this because sometimes, as I have said, sex can stir the
Kundalini, which rests dormant in most people at the base of the spine.
"The Kundalini force is coiled down low, a terrific force, like a clock
spring the way it is coiled. Like a clock spring suddenly uncoiled it
can do damage. This particular force is located at the base of the
spine, part of it actually within the generative organs. People of the
East recognize this; certain of the Hindus use sex in their religious
ceremonies. They use a different form of sex manifestation, and a
different sex position to achieve specified results, and they do achieve
those results. The ancients, centuries and centuries ago, worshipped
sex. They went in for phallic worship. There were certain ceremonies in
temples which raised the Kundalini which gave one clairvoyance,
telepathy, and many other esoteric powers.
"Sex used properly and in a certain way in love, can raise one's
vibrations. It can cause what the Easterners call the Flower of the
Lotus to open, and to embrace the world of the spirit. It can cause the
Kundalini to surge and to awaken certain centres. But sex and the
Kundalini should never be abused. One should complement and supplement
the other. Those religions which say that there should be no sex between
husband and wife are tragically wrong. This is often advocated by many
of the more dubious cults of Christianity. The Roman Catholics come
nearer to the truth when they advise husband and wife to have sexual
experiences, but the Catholics advocate it blindly, not knowing why, and
believing that it is merely for the procreation of children, which is
not the main purpose of sex, although most people believe' it is.
"These religions, then, which say that one should have no sexual
experiences - are trying to stifle individual evolution and the
evolution of the race. This is how it works:
In magnetism one obtains a powerful magnet by arranging the molecules of
the substance to face in one direction. Normally in a piece of iron, for
example, all the molecules are in any direction like an undisciplined
crowd. They are haphazardly arranged, but when a certain force is
applied (in the case of iron, a magnetizing force) all the molecules
face in one direction, and so one has the great power of magnetism -
without which there would be no radio or electricity, without which
there would be no road or rall transport, or air travel cither.
"In the human, when the Kundalini is awakened, when the Serpent Fire
becomes alive, then the molecules in the body all face in one direction
because the Kundalini force, in awakening, has pulled the molecules in
that direction. Then the human body becomes vibrant with life and
health, it becomes powerful in knowledge, it can see all.
"There are various methods of awakening the Kundalini completely, but
this should not be done except with those who are suitably evolved
because of the immense power and domination of others which a complete
awakening would give, and power can be abused and used for ill. But the
Kundalini can be partly awakened, and can vivify certain centres by love
between a married couple. With the true ecstasy of intimacy, the
molecules of the body become so arranged that many of them face in one
direction, and so these people become people of great dynamic power.
"When all the false modesty and all the false teachings about sex are
removed, then once again will Man arise as a great being, once again
will Man be able to take his place as a traveller to the stars."
