hich is above the palate change places. this mudra 94 must be learnt from the guru himself, and though, as we are told in the "pradipika" a theoretical study of crores of shastras cannot throw any light upon it, yet nevertheless in the "shiva sanhita" the difficulty seems to be solved by standing on one's head.109 10 "shakti chalana mudra" let the wise yogi forcibly and firmly draw up the goddess kundalini sleeping in the adhar lotus, by means of the apana-v yu. this is shakti- chalan mudra..110 the "hatha yoga pradipika" is very obscure on this mudra, it says: as one forces open a door with a key, so the yogi should force open the door of moksha (deliverance) by the kundalini. 105 "shiva sanhita" chap iv, 31. this is perhaps the most important of the mudras. the "hatha yoga pradipika" giv

said to have entered the chid k sa or knowledge space, and when the kundalini enters this space it arrives at thee end of its journey and passes into the last chakkra the sahasr ra. vishnu is united to devaki or shiva to shakti, and symbolically, as the divine union takes place, the powers of the ojas rush forth and beget a universe unimaginable by the normally minded man.122 99 how to awake the kundalini is therefore our next task. we have seen how this can partially be done by the various mudra exercises, but it will be remembered that the shakti chalana mentioned the practice of kumbhaka or the retention of breath. such an exercise therefore partially falls under the heading of pr n y ma. it is a well-known physiological fact that the respiratory system, more so than any other, control

subject macrocosmically and then trace the correspondence in the microcosm, or human being. i. fire in the macrocosm in its essential nature fire is threefold, but when in manifestation it can be seen as a fivefold demonstration, and be defined as follows: 1. fire by friction, or internal vitalising fire. these fires animate and vitalise the objective solar system. they are the sumtotal of logoic kundalini, when in full systemic activity. 2. solar fire, or cosmic mental fire. this is that portion of the cosmic mental plane which goes to the animation of the mental body of the logos. this fire may be regarded as the sumtotal of the sparks of mind, the fires of the mental bodies and the animating principle of the evolving units of the human race in the three worlds. 3. electric fire, or the

ly consider therefore the correspondence between the greater whole and the unit man and then block out our subject in detail and consider the sections into which it will be wise to divide it. fire in the microcosm is likewise threefold in essence and fivefold in manifestation. 1. there is internal vitalising fire, which is the correspondence to fire by friction. this is the sumtotal of individual kundalini; it animates the corporeal frame and demonstrates also in the twofold manner: first, as latent heat which is the basis of life of the spheroidal cell, or atom, and of its rotary adjustment to all other cells. second, as active heat or prana; this animates all, and is the driving force of the evolving form. it shows itself in the four ethers and in the gaseous state, and a correspondence

hence, when the pranic vehicle is working perfectly in all three groups, human, planetary and solar, the union with latent fire will be accomplished. here lies the reason for the emphasis laid on the necessity for building pure, refined physical vehicles. the more refined and rarefied the form, the better a receiver of prana will it be, and the less will be the resistance found to the uprising of kundalini at the appointed time. coarse matter and crude immature physical bodies are a menace to the occultist, and no true seer will be found with a body of a gross quality. the dangers of disruption are too great, and the menace of disintegration by fire too awful. once in the history of the race (in lemurian days) this was seen in the destruction of the race and the continents by means of fire

once in the history of the race (in lemurian days) this was seen in the destruction of the race and the continents by means of fire.45(41) the guides of the race at that time availed themselves of just this very thing to bring about the finish of an inadequate form. the latent fire of matter (as seen in volcanic display, for instance) and the radiatory fire of the system were combined. planetary kundalini and solar emanation rushed into conjunction, and the work of destruction was accomplished. the same thing may again be seen, only in matter of the second ether, and the effects therefore will be less severe owing to the rarity of this ether and the comparatively greater refinement of the vehicles. we might here note a fact of interest, though of a mystery insoluble as yet to most of us

that of the heart, the throat and the head. this is a long and slow process when left to the unaided force of nature, but it is just here that (in a few cases) a quickening of the process is permitted in order to equip workers in the field of human service. this is the object of all occult training. this angle of the matter we will take up in still greater detail when we handle our next point of "kundalini and the spine" the third stage is that in which active radiatory matter or prana is blended ever more perfectly with the fire latent in matter; this results (as will be brought out later) in certain effects. it produces a quickening of the normal vibration of the physical body so that it responds with more readiness to the higher note of the ego, and causes a steady rising of the blendin

ng activity and rotation. as time elapses between the first and fourth initiation, the threefold channel in the spine, and the entire etheric body is gradually cleansed and purified by the action of the fire till all "dross (as the christian expresses it) is burnt away, and naught remains to impede the progress of this flame- 69- a treatise on cosmic fire copyright 1998 lucis trust as the fire of kundalini and prana proceed with their work, and the channel becomes more and more cleared, the centres more active, and the body purer, the flame of spirit, or the fire from the ego, comes more actively downwards till a flame of real brilliance issues from the top of the head. this flame surges upwards through the bodies towards its source, the causal body. simultaneously with the activity of the

functional recollection which are so apparent in the little evolved man. as time progresses the fire of mind burns more brightly and thus reaches a point where it begins to burn through the etheric web that portion of the web that can be found guarding the centre at the very top of the head, and admitting entrance to the downflow from the spirit. by its means certain things are brought about: the kundalini fire is consciously directed and controlled by the mind or will aspect from the mental plane. the two fires of matter by the power of the mind of man are blended first with each other, and, secondly, with the fire of mind. the united result of this blending is the destruction (under rule and order, of the etheric web, and the consequent production of continuity of consciousness and the a

ry human life nor even in each planetary cycle. the mystery of the moon is the mystery of failure. this leads, when comprehended, to a life of dignity and offers an aim worthy of our best endeavour. when this angle of truth is universally recognised, as it will be when the intelligence of the race suffices, then evolution will proceed with certainty, and the failures be less numerous. division d- kundalini and the spine kundalini60,(53)61 and the spine i. kundalini and the three triangles. 1. in the head. 2. in the body. 3. at the base of the spine. ii. the arousing of kundalini. very briefly, owing to the impossibility of revealing much on this necessarily dangerous subject, we will consider the subject of kundalini and the spine- 75- a treatise on cosmic fire copyright 1998 lucis trust w

al, its initiations and its ultimate triumph. other angles of this subject, such as the centres and their relationship to manas, the fire of spirit and manas, and the eventual blending of the three fires, will be dealt with in our next two main divisions. in this division we are confining ourselves to the study of matter and fire, and must not digress, or confusion will ensue. ii. the arousing of kundalini how this fire at the base of the spine can be aroused, the form its progression should take (dependent upon the ray, the blending of the fire with pranic fire and their subsequent united progression, are things of the past with many, and fortunately for the race, the work was achieved without conscious effort. the second blending with the fire of manas has to be effected. scarcely as yet

re than one channel of the threefold column; hence two-thirds of its effect in the majority is yet confined to the stimulation of the organs of race propagation. only when the fire has circled unimpeded up another channel is the complete merging with the fire of manas effected, and only when it progresses geometrically up all the three with simultaneous action and at uniform vibration is the true kundalini fire fully aroused, and therefore able to perform its work of cleansing through the burning of the confining web and of the separating particles. when this is accomplished the threefold channel becomes one channel. hence the danger. no more can be imparted concerning this subject. he who directs his efforts to the control of the fires of matter, is (with a dangerous certainty) playing wi

se on cosmic fire copyright 1998 lucis trust all that is intended to do in this treatise, is to cast some further light upon these centres, to show their interrelation, and to trace the effects produced by their rightful development. to do this, as before stated, the subject will be divided into the following divisions: 1. the nature of the centres. 2. the centres and the rays. 3. the centres and kundalini. 4. the centres and the senses. 5. the centres and initiation. as can be seen from the above tabulation, the subject is not only vast but abstruse. this is principally owing to the fact that until the race is normally clairvoyant, it is not in a position to verify what is said, and has to accept the statements of those who profess to know. later when man can see and prove for himself, it

the mental plane, the three planes, and the two higher planes, and the three centres with the two other centres, the heart and head. yet, we must not forget that the centre at the base of the spine is also a synthesiser, as would normally be expected, if it is recognised that the lowest plane of all manifestation is the point of deepest reflection. this lowest centre, by synthesising the fire of kundalini and the pranic fires, eventually blends and merges with the fire of mind, and later with the fire of spirit, producing thus consummation. we must disabuse our minds of the idea that these centres are physical things. they are whirlpools of force that swirl etheric, astral and mental matter into activity of some kind. because the action is rotary, the result produced in matter is a circul

plane of buddhi. the causal body is but the sheath of the ego. the solar system is but the sheath of the son. in both the greater and the lesser systems, force centres exist which are productive of objectivity. the centres in the human being are reflections in the three worlds of those higher force centres- 103- a treatise on cosmic fire copyright 1998 lucis trust before taking up the subject of kundalini and the centres, it would be well to extend the information given above, from its prime significance for man, as that which concerns himself, to the solar system, the macrocosm, and to the cosmos. what can be predicated of the microcosm is naturally true of the macrocosm and of the cosmos. it will not be possible to give the systemic triangles, for the information would have to be so bli

f some particular kind or quality. this is a fact generally recognised, but students should be urged to link up this fact with the information imparted on the centres of the human being, and see if much is not thereby learnt. these centres of force will demonstrate on etheric levels and on the subtler planes just as they do in a man, and they will be vivified as are the human centres by planetary kundalini, progressing in the desired triangles. two hints can here be given for thoughtful consideration. in connection with one of the heavenly men (which one cannot at this juncture be pointed out) we have one triangle of force to be seen in the following three centres: a. the force centre of which the manu, and his group, are the expression. b. the centre of which the bodhisattva or the christ

46- a treatise on white magic copyright 1998 lucis trust our consideration of this rule will fall into two parts: the relation between the soul and the personality. this will be handled particularly with reference to meditation in the daily life, more than from the theoretical and the academical. the significance of the words "the lower light is thrown upward" these deal with the centers and the kundalini fire. i would like here to point out the advisability of each student arriving at an understanding of his etheric body, and this for certain reasons. first, the etheric body is the next aspect of the world substance to be studied by scientists and investigators. this time will be hastened if thinking men and women can formulate intelligent ideas anent this interesting subject. we can aid

the disquisitions of the lower mind. when the fire of mind burns too fiercely, it forms a current which counteracts the higher downflow, and forces the lower fire back into seclusion. only when the three fires meet, through the regulation of the middle fire of mind, can a full light be achieved, and the whole body be full of light, the fire from above the triadal light the fire of the lower self, kundalini and the fire of mind, cosmic manas must meet upon the altar. in their union comes the burning away of all that hinders and the completed emancipation. c. by discrimination a faculty of the concrete mental body the lower bodies are trained in the art of distinguishing illusion from the centre of reality, the real from the unreal, the self from the not-self. then ensues, consequently, a pe

pirant. let us then enumerate them in tabulated form, and then we will deal briefly with each point afterwards. 1. character building, the first and essential requisite. 2. right motive. 3. service. 4. meditation. 5. a technical study of the science of the centres. 6. breathing exercises. 7. learning the technique of the will. 8. the development of the power to employ time. 9. the arousing of the kundalini fire. this last and ninth point will not be considered at this stage of our training. the reason is obvious. most aspirants are at the stage of the third and fourth points and are just beginning to work at the fifth and sixth. let us touch briefly upon each of these necessary steps, and let me enjoin upon you the need there is to realise in some measure the responsibility entailed by kno

he devas of the fire will play an increasingly important part in all earth processes. to them is given the work of inaugurating the new age, the new world and civilisation and the new continent. the last great transition was governed by varuna. 8. agni controls not only the fires of the earth and rules the mental plane but he is definitely associated with the work of arousing the sacred fire, the kundalini. note how the correspondence works out. a great part of the fifth root-race, three-fifths perhaps, stand close to the probationary path, and with the coming in of the new age and the advent of the christ in due time and in his own place (note the care with which i express this; dogmatic assertions in terms of men's concrete minds are inadvisable) many will find it possible to make the ad

ime and in his own place (note the care with which i express this; dogmatic assertions in terms of men's concrete minds are inadvisable) many will find it possible to make the adequate extra effort, entailed in the taking of the first major initiation. they will begin to pass from the fifth to the fourth plane. the lord of fire will achieve his peculiar work for this cycle by arousing the fire of kundalini in the large numbers of those who are ready. this will be begun in this century, and carried forward actively for the next one thousand years. in your work you may later be shown all depends upon your aptitude methods of approach to these dominating forces, but this will come subjectively and not through magical work and formulas. the attainment of a right vibration will work automatical

understanding of which force is related to a center. this consequently involves the necessity to develop the centers, to bring them into a state of potency and to harmonize them into a unified rhythm. c. the capacity, therefore, to work at will through the medium of any particular center. this is only possible when the soul can dwell as the ruler on the "throne between the eyebrows" and when the kundalini fire has been what is occultly called raised. this fire has to pass up through the spinal column and burn its way through the web which separates center from center on the "golden rod of power" third, learn to study the reactions upon others of whatever energy he, through his personality, may be expressing, or which, if he be an initiate and, therefore, a conscious worker with the plan

awareness a point of contact in the head, and from that point direct the automaton, the physical body. it presupposes, if successful, certain etheric conditions in the body. one of these is the process of burning through or destruction (partial or complete) of any obstructions found along the spinal cord which could prevent the free rising of the fire at the base of the spine, commonly called the kundalini fire, which lies quiescent, latent and potential in the lowest centre. this is "the sleeping serpent which must arise and uncoil. each centre in the spine is separated from the one above it and the one below it by an interlaced protective web which is composed of a curious blend of etheric and gaseous substance. this has to be burnt away and dissipated before there can be the free play o

of mind, causes the centres also to increase their vibration, and this increased activity sets up a contact with the protective "webs, or disks of pranic energy found on either side of them. thus, through the interplay, they are gradually worn away, so that in the course of time they become perforated, if i might use such an inadequate term. many aspirants feel convinced that they have raised the kundalini fire at the base of the spine and are consequently making rapid progress, whereas all that they have accomplished is to burn or "rub through" the web at some point or other up the spine. a sensation of burning or of pain in any part of the spine, when not due to physiological causes, is, in the majority of cases, due to the piercing of one or other of the webs, through the activity of th

k indicates usually undue activity in a centre, which produces destructive results upon the protective apparatus, and is no true indication of spiritual unfoldment and superiority. it may indicate the latter, but it should be remembered that, where there is true spiritual growth, pain and danger are in this connection practically eliminated. there has been much loose talk about the raising of the kundalini fire and much misapprehension in the matter. let me assure you that it is most difficult to raise, and can only be done by a definite act of the will and through the intense mental focussing and concentrated attention of the man, seated on the throne of consciousness in the head. the masonic tradition has the teaching- 341- a treatise on white magic copyright 1998 lucis trust clearly hel

be set up and this is most difficult to bring about. these are only a few of the points that the teacher has to note, and it is apparent therefore that only a teacher who has achieved synthetic vision and can see a man "whole" or as he really is, can give those instructions which will reverse the ancient rhythm of the centres, destroy without pain and danger the protective sheaths, and raise the kundalini fire from the base of the spine to the exit in the head. such teachers are found by the pupil when he has carried forward his life work under the direction of his soul, when he has grasped the theory of the science of the centres, and has mastered and controlled the astral nature and its corresponding centre, the solar plexus. the emphasis laid upon the dominance of the christ principle

en a student is under the impression or belief that the kundalini fire has been aroused in him, all that has really happened is that the energy of the sacral centre (i.e. the sex centre) is being transmuted and raised to the throat, or that the energy of the solar plexus centre is being raised to the heart. aspirants do, however, love to play with the idea that they have succeeded in arousing the kundalini fire. many advanced occultists have mistaken the raising of the sacral fire or of the solar plexus force to a position above the diaphragm for the "lifting of the kundalini" and have therefore regarded themselves or others as initiates. their sincerity has been very real and their mistake an easy one to make. c. w. leadbeater frequently made this mistake, yet of his sincerity and of his

ch can control them because even the modern endocrinologist knows that the adrenal glands, when stimulated, produce (as a psychological result of a physical happening) an access of courage and a form of directed will which enables achievements to be carried out that are, at other time, well-nigh impossible. i would like here to point out that the statement so frequently made in occult books that "kundalini sleeps" is only partially true. the centre at the base of the spine is subject to the same rhythmic life as are the other centres. the specific period wherein "kundalini awakes" refers to that period wherein the "point at the centre" becomes vibrant, potent and active: its forces can then penetrate throughout the entire spinal area until the highest head centre is reached. this, however

lst the central, spiritual sun pours its influences through uranus. the activity of uranus is, however, only registered at a very advanced stage of development upon the path and is analogous to that point in the unfoldment of consciousness wherein, by an act of the will, the conscious and illumined man (focussed in the highest head centre) arouses the centre at the base of the spine and draws the kundalini fire upwards. making a broad and consequently somewhat inaccurate generalisation, it might be said that this process is followed upon the three crosses: 1. upon the mutable cross, it is the physical sun and its influences which affect the man, stimulate the bodily cells and sustain the form nature, affecting the centres below the diaphragm. 2. upon the fixed cross, it is the "heart of th

interplay between the head centre and the centre at the base of the spine produces the manifestation of the divine will or purpose. the forces of the ajna and the throat centres, when combined, produce the highest manifestation of "fire by friction" just as the energies of the head centre and the basic centre produce the individual "electric fire" which, when fully expressing itself, we call the kundalini fire. d. it is the centre through which the fourth creative hierarchy on its own plane finds expression, and here also this hierarchy and fourth kingdom in nature, the human family are fused and blended. the head centre relates the monad and the personality. the ajna centre relates the spiritual triad (the expression of the monad in the formless worlds) to the personality. ponder on this

will aspect, and the will-to-be in incarnation is the factor which at present controls its life and produces its effects as it feeds and directs the life principle in matter and form. just as we are told that the life principle is "seated in the heart" so the will-to-be is seated in the base of the spine. there has been much idle and dangerous talk anent this centre, and the whole subject of the "kundalini fire" has proved an exciting and enticing tale by the pseudo-occultists of the world. the true occultist in training has naught to do with the kundalini fire as usually understood. it is not possible for me to do more than make certain facts somewhat clearer to you, and yet at the same time i must refrain from indicating modes and methods of arousing the activity of this centre, on accou

to understand how meditation works we must examine human make-up on a conscious level and must also realize that we are spiritual as well as physical beings. the physical and spiritual bodies are connected at the vital centers, known by their sanskrit name chakra (see figure 7.1. in meditation the mysterious psychic energy can be sent up through these centers. this very potent force is called the kundalini, or "serpent power. as this mighty force begins to flow within you, these vital psychic centers the chakras begin to open in successive order. on a conscious level, consider the total consciousness as a sort of sandwich. on one side you have the conscious mind. this is the mind that is concerned with your everyday world and activities and your physical/material being. it is your waking s

such as yantras is also often used. most important of all in awakening kundalini is a technique that is almost never openly described. it involves the contemplation with love and desire of one of the primary forms of shakti, the mother goddess who represents for the hindus all manifest things and all energies. the word shakti literally means power. it is through the grace and love of shakti that kundalini is awakened and made to ascend. before this grace and love can be attained the practitioner must establish a close personal relationship with shakti. this is done through repeated visualization of that particular form of the goddess that has been decided upon, through prayers to the goddess, through offerings and sacrifices to the goddess, through contemplation of the qualities and virtu

ties and virtues of the goddess, through active inner communication with the goddess, through visualization of interaction and union with the goddess, and by filling the place of ritual communion with the goddess with scents, symbols, forms, colors, objects, sounds, music, tastes, and textures that are in harmony with the nature of the aspect of shakti that is being contemplated. the awakening of kundalini is indicated by spontaneous excitation and tumescence of the genitals. in men this means strong, spontaneous erection of the penis without any erotic thoughts or imagery in the mind, and without any physical stimulation of the penis. this is accompanied by the sensation of being touched or caressed on the surface of the skin. the muladhara chakra forms a hardness at the perineum. during

sary to know that yoga is far more than merely a form of physical exercise. there are numerous types of yoga, some predominantly physical and others mainly mental in their approach. for example, hatha yoga employs physical postures of the body. bakti yoga involves the exercise of love and devotion. mantra yoga relies on chanting. laya yoga focuses on activating the chakras and the sexual power of kundalini in the body. all types of yoga have as their common goal the attainment of mastery over both the mind and body, for the purpose of transforming consciousness and achieving personal power. the control the yogi seeks is not power over other human beings, but power over the self, because the yogi recognizes that command of the self results in control over the environment in which the self f
