Theos-Talk Archives (February 2001 Message tt00101)

Regarding Kundalini and "Mother Source" and Siddhis (Powers), I also offer:

DTB Where is this said? Kundalini Sakti is mentioned once in
the S.D. (I - 273-4) and not much is given by H.P.B. on it
directly.. There must be a god reason for this.


HPB in the Voice of the Silence gave a lot more information:
======================================
"Let not thy "Heaven-Born," merged in the sea of Maya, break from the Universal
Parent (SOUL), but let the fiery power retire into the inmost chamber, the
chamber of the Heart (23) and the abode of the World's Mother (24).

Then from the heart that Power shall rise into the sixth, the middle region,
the place between thine eyes, when it becomes the breath of the ONE- SOUL, the
voice which filleth all, thy Master's voice.

Notes:
(23). The inner chamber of the Heart, called in Sanskrit Brahma poori. The
"fiery power" is Kundalini.

(24). The "Power" and the "World-mother" are names given to Kundalini - one of
the mystic "Yogi powers." It is Buddhi considered as an active instead of a
passive principle (which it is generally, when regarded only as the vehicle, or
casket of the Supreme Spirit ATMA). It is an electro-spiritual force, a
creative power which when aroused into action can as easily kill as it can
create.
=============================

>From the above quotes by HPB it is evident that HPB amplified the knowledge
provided in the SD.
I for one don't think that everything 'good' to know is found in the SD. That
sounds cultist.

Also Dallas said about the Powers (Siddhis):
"Theosophy draws the attention of all students to SPIRITUAL PURITY
and not to the attainment of "Powers, . . ."

But the Voice of the Silence says:

"Follow the wheel of life; follow the wheel of duty to race and kin, to
friend and foe, and close thy mind to pleasures as to pain. Exhaust the law
of Karmic retribution. Gain Siddhis for thy future birth.

Lets not be superstitious nor fearful about it. Let be prudent, courageous and
wise.
