Kundalini and the Holy Spirit:Are they Same?

There is lack of awareness about Kundalini in the western world. Many have speculated that Kundalini and the Holy Spirit are the same thing. In my understanding they are not the same, Holy Spirit is the divine energy from above and Kundalini is the dormant life energy in human beings. Kundalini represents only half the process, the Holy Spirit is needed to bring completion. “The Descent of Spirit into matter, and the Ascent of matter into Spirit”, makes the complete evolution. Kundalini is the ‘Ascent of matter into Spirit’.

Kundalini is the energy of creation, of mankind in the earth. It initiates in the etheric body and enters the physical body via the nervous and endocrine systems. The purpose of Kundalini is to balance the two physical polarities (male/female) within the physical plane of consciousness. When this happens, the person’s consciousness is expanded upward/outward into the spiritual plane of consciousness, thus merging the physical and the spiritual bodies.

The Holy Spirit is spiritual energy which enters at the heart chakra called Anahatha chakra. The Holy Spirit is an aspect of Grace, the unseen force that emanates from The Christ and permeates all of creation with the purpose of unifying, purifying and balancing. Grace is the purity of God as love itself; the Holy Spirit is its vehicle.

Kundalini energy moves from the ‘bottom up’, taking our lower nature into the spiritual realms. The Holy Spirit moves from the ‘bottom down,’ bringing our Divine nature into our earthly existence.Kundalini experience takes us to higher spiritual realms This is the stage known as “awareness” which then leads to ‘enlightenment’. As stated above, the Kundalini process is the ‘ascent of matter’ and represents only half the necessary experience.

To embody love we must merge our human consciousness into Christ Consciousness which is in Ajna chakra and that occurs through the Holy Spirit. When the Holy Spirit enters the human mind-body complex, a new being is created. This is the ‘Christ Body’, an energetic presence that encases, fills and permeates the physical body. This is the ‘descent of spirit into matter’. Through the Holy Spirit, we receive wisdom, love and guidance.

When we are filled with Holy Spirit this can awaken our life force inside and Christ like like transformation and total purification take place. The Christianity focuses mainly on the Divine energy as the Holy Spirit, not recognizing the Kundalini energy as the force that purifies the lower nature, thus making it possible to be united with the Divine self while in a physical body.

The Holy Spirit represents the descent of spirit into matter and is the means by which we enter into the Christ-stream of consciousness, thereby bringing the consciousness of The Christ into human physicality. Through this process, a Spirit or Christ Body is created, which merges the physical, etheric and astral bodies into one. The merging of these three bodies into one is the ‘ascent into heaven’.

The energy of the Holy Spirit enters at the heart. This is because the heart is the intersection point where the higher and lower aspects of man become balanced. When the Holy Spirit enters, it will simultaneously awaken the Kundalini if the person is ready. If more growth is needed, the Holy Spirit will guide that person’s growth until the time it is possible to clear the lower bodies (the ascent of matter into spirit) and ascend upward.

In contrast, when the Kundalini awakens without the Holy Spirit, it will awaken in the root chakra. This type of Kundalini awakening results in only the ascension of matter. That is, the ego level is brought upward into the spiritual realm, but one is left feeling blank and empty because the Spirit/Christ Body does not enter to replace one’s sense of self.

The activation of the Kundalini energy without the descent of the Holy Spirit is dangerous to my understanding. Those who experience these types of Kundalini awakenings have the most difficulty, physically, energetically and emotionally. Without the presence of the Holy Spirit, the expanded states of consciousness which accompany biological Kundalini do not bring love, wisdom, spiritual guidance and inspiration. Instead, the person is left feeling blank and empty, teetering between the two extremes of spiritual transcendence and physical density, wondering if they have ‘reached enlightenment’.

While the Kundalini feels like energy that is moving up and through the body, the Holy Spirit feels like ‘love energy’ that is moving in and down into the body. Kundalini feels as if it is lifting you up through transcendence. The Holy Spirit feels like it is expanding you through love and teaching you how to hold that expansion in the midst of a daily life.

Without the infilling of Spirit, one is still susceptible to corruption by the lower energies within the Earth’s consciousness. The individual lower nature has been purified at this point, but the planetary lower nature has not. This is why so many ‘enlightened gurus’ do very unenlightened things.

My understanding, is first let the Holy Spirit come upon you and the Holy Spirit may guide you in the Kundalini process and become one with Christ.
