Theos-Talk Archives (July 2007 Message tt00467)

Dear D., thank you for you reply, and I agree completely. But what I 
cannot understand is the statement as Kundalini being Buddhi 
activated.
Through the Theosophical literature we know that Buddhi may be 
awakened through meditation, a pure life, a deep study, etc. All that 
is quite obvious, since Buddhi is Wisdom, ultimately. But if now HPB 
correlates it with kundalini, and we know that kundalini may be 
awakened through breathing exercises.
Does it mean that de manipulation of breathing awakens the Wisdom in 
us???? It doesn't seem to make any sense. And it is also a dangerous 
concept because some irresponsible people may tell you he/she is 
awakening Buddhi through those exercises. Am I making clear the point?
What is a possible explanation to that statement by HPB?
Regards

depending on the level of development of the student undergoing its 
experience. For the chela in training it is mainly passive or latent 
for the advanced Arhart it is fully active. When a student is in 
training and under the watchful eye of the Master breathing exercises 
can at some point become a natural part of spiritual training. HPB 
often warns the student about premature activation of the kundalini 
which can be the result of "forced breathing exercises" Without the 
guidance of the Master. Kundalini in its more active state is not 
something that most Theosophiical student should concern him or 
herself with but will unfold according to natural law when the time 
is right and the student has done the preliminary work of service, 
study and most importantly opening of the Heart. When you are ready 
and have fufilled all of the requirements for this advanced trainning 
you can be assured the Master or one of his

This truth can be seen in some schools of Buddhism as the unfolding 
of Atma or Will through Buddhi, Higher mind and Love. If spiritual 
love is dominate in the life of the advancing student Kundalini in 
its active and most powerful form will spring into activity and rise 
along the etheric spine central channel  bringing  liberation through 
the higher head centers and Crown or thousand petal lotus. If there 
is not sufficient love developed within the students life the 
infamous kundalini is deflected downward and brings disaster and ruin 
to the unfortunate student. Only Love-Buddhi and a purification of 
the body, emotions and mind can insulate the student from the 
negative side of this this awesome power. The path of discipleship is 
strewn with many skulls of those attempting to speed up or thwart 
this natural evolution or law. It is therefore
