The Basics of Divine Realization, In Brief

Taken from the book "Kundalini Dream",
Q. So in simple terms, consciousness descended down gives one the experience of being an individual, and consciousness ascending up with and as the Kundalini Devi exposes one to the opposite reality, the reality of the divine as conscious experience?

A.Yes, thats about it, and this concept is the basis of Yoga and Tantra. As explicated in my descent of consciousness model "Prakasavimarsamaya", immanent divine self consciousness, the consciousness of God, is descending down through and as the cakras, in a reductionistic mechanism down to our experience of life and mind here and now, within the immediate locus of our physical body.
This higher divine self is Isvara, "the God Self", also known as the Atma.This being or self is actually the all pervasive universal causal field of Lord Shiva, which descends in a divisional paradigm as the Divine Mother, the Kundalini, the "immanent pranic field", manifesting and driving all embodied life and especially our pranic consciousness of individual self.
So when the Kundalini Devi who is this same original creator Mother and the actual body of this Pranic field, is awakened out of dormancy and moves into Sahasrara Cakra, your finite consciousness is withdrawn. You then experience the consciousness of Sahasrara, which is the abode of the projector source God, Lord Shiva, Isvara. Re-tracing this descent dream process back to God via the Kundalini leaves you at one point:experiencing yourself as what you were all along, the consciousness of God, Cit-Ananda, Consciouness-Bliss.

Q.It sounds as though consciousness of one form or another is the common denominator of the whole process?

A.That is correct. Essentially, there is nothing going on here except consciousness. It is either embodied and in ignorance of finite self, or awareness of the higher self, or unmanifested and part of the immanent all pervading field of divine reality.
Life is simply the living symptom of this divine consciousness, moving through the form of embodied existence as all of us.
To experience the embodied bliss of Cit-Ananda is the goal of life, but to be convinced of this, one must experience it as a conscious state.
