Spiritual growth is a life long process. It takes a long time, great will, paitence and determination before we reap such fruits.

Thank you!
Dear one, now go and seek. We have left you with a lot of tools here, remember the ego is mind-tripper, try to Zazen it...DO not know how this got in the middle...sorry....sir-one
I knew that sounded too good to be true. That's what I was looking for.
Now to do things the right way.

Thank you. Yes, there are many groups out there, who are corrupting spirituality, by using it to either further own interests, or sell products or services by preying on the needs of others.
I really wished it was true, that I could follow someones program and activate my Kundalini in 30 days, or have loads of sex, and activate it(by that logic, all porn stars would have active Kundalinis )
However, the truth is, the spiritual way, is a very difficult way, and I would describe it as having to live through the mistakes in your life again, and doing the right thing. It means having to confront all your issues in life and resolving them. Simply put spirituality is the willed act of examining, analysing and searching within yourself. It is the science of self, if you may.
Whenever I am asked what I do, I always answer, I am a student of life, this is what makes me spiritual, and someone who is doing Kundalini raising exercises to get powers to impress their friends, not spiritual.
Yes, that is what I have found in metaphysical groups and so-called teachers..
Not many humans will 'volunteer' to kill all their demons for further illumination.I have a more than big problem with TRUE seekers getting scammed because they are 'seekers'.

As is with all things in life, if it's too good, it's probably not. Today, people are becoming much more open minded to the wider realities of mind and spirit. Unfortunately, it has become commercialised and corrupted, and as you say, many metaphysical and pseudo-spiritual groups have sprung up, and people are indoctrinated into belief systems that thrive on blind faith. In fact, I would say this is most of the new-age culture, very few actually know what they are talking about, they just regurgitate what they were told or read in a typical new-age book.

Indigo posted what i was thinking of saying about the ones who posted in here saying their kundalini had awakened. I was highly skeptical as well in hearing them not telling of any sort of major changes, that confused me.
On another site i just read today of another person that experienced something similar to the ones in here that said their kundalini was aroused during sex. This person happened to have noted that it came from the sacral chakra, which is attributed with sexual energies. They were wondering as well whether it was kundalini. And it obviously is not, so now we must wonder what in the world it is? There is some sort of energy in the sacral chakra that produces heat and warmth, and sometimes ecstatic pleasure it seems during sexual acts or the like. It sounds as if it rises similar to kundalini, however it is just a temporary warm-pleasureful feeling. I wonder what this is, it doesnt seem to have any purpose to it though.
Yes, it isnt always their fault though, its natural to just believe what you have been told is the truth when it is so amazing in the first place. Shifting from say modern beliefs into newage-spirtualist and eastern beliefs is a big deal. I could find no other word to describe the happiness inside of me when becoming the meditator i am now than that i was saved! This is why the apostles of jesus used this term when spreading what they had been taught. The christians just use the same words and terms that the real apostles and early believers used. I automatically wanted everyone i knew to come and embrace the same beliefs i had come to have, with little thought about whether or not it was accurate. Since is tarted out with more new-age teachings. Then another person(another indigo actually) kindly told me the truth about chakras, that they were already opened, just not necessarily being used to their full extent you might call it.

Yes, it could be a type of being 'saved', a euphoric feeling but it has not/does not change your openness to the universe, it can make people feel 'there is more' but they have not explored any other ways.They would stop at feeling saved..
................
PS.They[chakras] are NOT open until one becomes aware of what their purpose is,

only problem i have is that people who visit the other realms suddenly think they know so much more while they still know so little. people still think that all information of the universe is attainable. it's not and what you see in the astral realms is far from all.
if you play with your chakra's and kundalini make sure to steer clear from people who try to trick you. many use it to make money out of it. as for personal gains...well all use it for personal gains one way or another. some use it to increase physical wealth, which is wrong, others use it to increase the enlightentment of the soul.
and for crying out loud people...LEARN TO SHIELD YOURSELVES
