Hi Noel
Thank you for the information.
Regarding the polarity (masculine/feminine) of the forces HPB said
that the seven Sons of Fohat are masculine, and their feminine
counterparts are the seven Shaktis, of which Kundalini is one.
The source of Fohat is the Cosmic Ideation embodied in the Primordial
Seven, the Dhyani Buddhas. The source of the Shaktis seems to be more
related with Cosmic Matter (a condensation of Mulaprakriti).

in its aspect of burning. But we have a further explanation of the

given an idea of the vessel in which the Fire burns. But there is
even more than this. There is also the noun kundala, which means a
coil, a spiral, a ring. Here we are given an idea as to the way in
which the Fire works, unfolds. Out of all these essential derivatives
the word Kundalini is born, giving creative femininity to the Fire,
Serpent-Fire as it is sometimes called, the feminine creative power
asleep within a bowl, within a womb, awakening to rhythmic movement
in up-rushing and downpouring streams of Fire. It is a word
signifying the feminine aspect of the creative force of evolution,
which force in its specialized and more individual potency lies
asleep, curled up as in a womb, at the base of the human
> spine. Its awakening is fraught with the utmost danger, indeed
disaster, save as the individual concerned is in a position to keep
it under full control. And such power to control comes only when the
higher reaches of the evolutionary way are being approached, reaches
still out of sight as regards the vast majority of mankind."

If it is a Fohatic power, a diferentiation of it, "one of the Forces
of Nature", we have "to pursue" Fohat, going to its fountain. And if
Fohat... is not and independent force... Vedanta says: There is only
One Reality.
