In a note in the book The Voice of the Silence (Fragment 1, v. 38), HPB 
wrote:

"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".

I cannot understand that correlation. HPB seems here to imply that the 
awakening of Kundalini is the result of Buddhi acting as an active 
principle. Since Kundalini may be awakened through breathing exercises, 
the manipulation of sexual energy and so on, does it imply that the 
spiritual intuition (Buddhi) may be awakened through those "external" 
means?
