'Traditional Yogic seekers imagine that the Kundalini Force actually ascends. If the Kundalini ever for one moment did not retain its connection with the sahasrar (the upper region of the brain and its subtle counterparts), you would be dead, from that moment. That ascending arc of the Circle always exists, just as the descending arc of the Circle always exists. It is just that, in the case of the traditional Yogic seeker, when the spinal line begins to come alive, and the contractions at certain points in the spinal line begin to loosen, then various experiences occur (corresponding to the various subtle centers), and people imagine that the Energy Itself is rising. What is actually occurring is that the subtle centers are opening in a kind of progress that seems “upward”. Certainly, there are sensations that are like rising Energy. But, in fact, the Circle of Energy is always there, always continuous—except that It is obstructed by the tendency to contract, to be separate, to avoid relationship at the level of life.
Thought itself—simple thought, or mind-forms—is a form of suffering in the seeker. The simplest mind-form, any mind-form— even an amused thought of Donald Duck!—is a condition of suffering, of self-contraction. If—in the very moment when you are distracted by, or happy with, this or that image or thought— you examine yourself with any kind of sensitivity, you will realize that you are suffering. Distracted, perhaps—but suffering.
When, in Most Perfect Divine Self-Realization, all of this contraction, all of this life of avoidance, all of this identification with thinking is (by Means of My Avataric Divine Spiritual Grace) transcended, then there is only the Absolute “Conductivity” of Amrita Nadi (Which is the Perfect Form of Reality)—and That Perfect Form Lives only as Its Own Self-Existing, Self-Radiant, and Self Evidently Divine Nature.
The momentary (or otherwise temporary) and partial experience of the relaxation of the vital and subtle contraction is what the traditions of Yoga call “samadhi”—Yogic exaltation, meditative ecstasy. There are many kinds of such temporary (or conditional) Yogic samadhi. The traditional Yogic samadhis are experiences that take place when particular subtle events occur in the living circuitry I am describing to you. When certain forms of concentration are coupled with certain energy-movements within, people experience such conditional samadhis. But the Greatest and Only True Divine Samadhi Is Truth Itself, the Divine Self-Condition Itself, or Reality Itself. There are the temporary (or conditional) samadhis, and there is the Eternal Samadhi of Truth—the (only by-Me Revealed and Given) Most Ultimate and Final Samadhi, or seventh stage Sahaja Nirvikalpa Samadhi (Which is not dissociated from any of the states of conscious awareness, ordinary or extraordinary, and Which is not based on any movement or event in relation to any state of conscious awareness).
One who Enjoys That Eternal Samadhi is Always Already Full. When (by Means of My Avataric Divine Spiritual Grace) you are Established in My Divine Samadhi, you do not have to enter into any of the conditional Yogic samadhis in order to be living the Truth. At times, you may spontaneously enter into one or another of the conditional Yogic samadhis, but not as any kind of necessary demonstration of the Realization of Truth.
In True Divine Samadhi, you live the present condition Consciously—without bo***ge to vital shock, without self-contraction, without the avoidance of relationship, without identification with the subtle forms of that avoidance (all of which are forms of thought, modifications of Consciousness Itself). When all of these modifications come to an end—not by means of your physical death, but because you are no longer bound to them as a compulsive activity—then there is already what may be called “Paradise”, only Love-Bliss-Happiness Itself, only the Divine Self Condition, only the Divine Conscious Light, only Truth Itself, only Reality Itself.'
