spiritual emergence

Some initiates into a Kundalini activation have no prior understanding or context of the spiritual path (at least in the current life) and therefore the experience can be shocking and somewhat debilitating. Adding to their confusion and bewilderment, health care professionals still regard phenomena associated with spiritual emergence as indicative of pathology because the signs are so easily confused with the symptoms of psychosis, mania, depression, schizophrenia or borderline personality disorder.

Is Kundalini awakening the same as Self Realization? Well, it depends. It does rapidly accelerate the initiate’s evolutionary journey but not everyone who receives a Kundalini arousal becomes instantly enlightened. If and when the Kundalini activates the crown chakra will determine whether or not the initiate becomes one with the divine.
