Kundalini Fire and the Holy Spirt

There is much debate about whether or not the fire of Kundalini awakened through the seven main energy centers, or chacras, is in fact the same fire referred to in the Bible as the Holy Spirit.  Let's begin by carefully examining the characteristics of each.  We will start with what Christians call the Holy Spirit.  We have been taught and believe that there is a Holy Trinity consisting of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit; the "Father" being "God", and the Son" being "Jesus", but who or what exactly is the "Holy Spirit"?

References on the Holy Spirit are given to us in many Biblical scriptures, for example:
  • In John 14:26, the Holy Spirit is called the Helper or the Comforter, something that is sent by the Father in the name of the Son, to teach and help people to remember. This is the Divine Consciousness that seeds Wisdom.
  • Acts 2 talks about spirals of energy, or "tongues of fire" that descended upon the people gathered on the day of Pentacost, this is the physical manifestation of the Golden Fire known as kundalini, and we will explore this theory even further and we will see that this is true.
  • I Corinthians 6:19 refers to the human body as the place of residence for the Holy Spirit.
  • Acts 10:38 says that God annointed Jesus with the power of the Holy Spirit. 
There are many more scriptures describing what is the Holy Spirit, and we can conclude from all of these that it is the Divine Force, Power, and Consciousness of the Creator.  It's the divine Essence of all existence. It flows everywhere and through everything and is the unseen Material that keeps all worlds in balance.  Some may ask, how does this idea fit into the doctrine and the teachings? What about the Holy Trinity- Father, Son, and Spirit?

The simplest way to explain this is by using the comparison of a magnet. (In future studies I will analyse and prove how everything operates as a system of magnetic forces.)  For a magnet to work and function it needs three things, a positive pole, a negative pole, and the flow between the two.  When comparing this to the Trinity, we can say that the Father is the positive pole, the Son is the negative pole, and the Holy Spirit is that flow of energy between the two, thus creating a perfect system.  Another way to analyse would be the "As above, so below"...The God- Creator above manifested Himself as the Son on the earth "below" and the Holy Spirit is the connection between the above and the below.  Now let us examine what is Kundalini....

Kundalini is most known from the Sanskrit word, Kundalin meaning circular, like a ring.  It has taken on the popular image of the coiled serpent, and therefore given a bad taste for Christian beliefs due to the story of the serpent in the garden that tempted Eve.  This energy is awakened through the seven chacras and once the Third Eye is opened completely, many people can see this "fire". The energy flows like a spiral and resembles the movements of a snake, and so it became referred to the Serpent Power by a culture that used animals and nature to describe the unexplained. 

So what exactly is this potent energy force that has become so important in many Eastern religions?  Yogic masters and Eastern philosophers refer to it as a powerful dormant force that sleeps in the base of our energy centers, an untapped potential that when awakened, we feel enlightenment, universal love, and a renewed sense of being.  We become in touch with our Higher Selves and the evolution of the soul takes on a remarkable speed.  We ignite our ascension that gravitates us back into our origin of the Cosmic Consciousness and we see that we are all One.  A critical warning, however- kundalini is very powerful and should never be forced, it awakens on its own when the time is right...

So our conclusion is, we awaken the cosmic force within us and we understand the Divine both in and around us.  We become filled with the Holy Spirit and have the peace and love of God.  So is the kundalini fire the same as Holy Spirit?? Its very wise to assume it is in fact the same Divine Material.  When we touch this material it heals us, gives us a Higher Mind, and connects us to the world we were given to work in, giving us the Power to spread love, light, and truth...However, we must understand that kundalini is only a small fragment of the Holy Spirit, it's the Manifestation of the Golden Fire into our physical human bodies.  Being able to embody this Fragment of God inside us is indeed a precious gift.
