Yes, that's why Kant can't be used as an authority in theosophy. :-)

Actually, HPB called kundalini "the Mother force." The word "mother" could 
also be applied to the "matter" or "receptive" nature of what I would call the 
G-force. Therefore, while the positive or "creative" aspect of this force 
exits at the Buddhi or upper chakra point of the overall or universal triple Monad 
-- I placed the word "Kundalini" at the bottom or negative side where the 
G-force enters the overall field at the physical end... Simply because In 
Kundalini yoga they speak of the lowest chakra as being the negative source of the 
Kundalini energy that can be "raised" to its positive Brahma chakra end -- which 
is adjacent to the higher frequency phase order of the Buddhi-Atma aspect of 
the human monad.

Note that the word "chakra" actually refers to the centers of energy or 
conjunction points between the 4 or 8 inner fields. That's why HPB speaks of these 
fields of consciousness as our 7 "fold" nature... The "folds" representing 
the "planes" through the zero-point centers between the inner fields. This can 
be shown when we overlay these fields on the human body showing the relative** 
location of the chakra points talked about in Kundalini yoga.

**It should be understood that these diagrams are to be viewed symbolically 
as approximations -- since, in actuality, as the energy descends from the spirit
ual levels to the physical levels, the energy fields become denser and more 
complex in their interactions and more asymmetrical in their shapes. Thus, the 
common idea that the actual universe is more or less egg shaped. This also 
partially accounts for the relative variations in frontal symmetry and the 
asymmetries from any other viewpoint of the human form, as well as similar 
symmetries and asymmetries of all other organic forms. 

Hope this helps clarify these concepts a bit further.
