What about Kundalini?
Almost all spiritual traditions speak of Kundalini, the inner spiritual power, in one form or another. The Japanese call it "ki", the Chinese "chi", and in Christianity it is known as the Holy Spirit. In Mexico Kundalini was worshiped as the serpent-god Quetzalcoatl, the Kung people of the Kalahari desert call this power n/um. Though the names used to describe it may be different, though the symbols used to evoke it vary somewhat from culture to culture, Kundalini has been experienced in all places at all times.
Traditionally, the knowledge of Kundalini has been a closely guarded secretly, revealed by a Master to only few close and selected initiates. In the West , the knowledge of Kundalini has been transmitted by the esoteric or mystical traditions. Although the mysterious force of Kundalini is known throughout the world, the Indian tradition has structured and organized this knowledge into it’s most comprehensive form. Kundalini is worshiped in India and in many other cultures as a manifestation of the divine cosmic power that has created universe out of Herself and within Herself. She has vibrated into all the billions of forms that we see around us.

Excerpt from the Shiva Sutras: The Supreme Awakening, The yogī accomplishes this by collecting his mind and putting it on that point. Although the mind is always flickering and does not exist in one point, through the practice (sādhanā) of one-pointedness, it becomes easy for the yogī to maintain one point. He then discards the differentiation of objectivity and subjectivity and perceives the objective world, which consists not only of external objects but also of his body of wakefulness, his body of the dreaming state, and his body of the dreamless state (nīla-deha-prāṇa- buddhyātmanaḥ), and the negation of these, which is the void state (śūnya), in its real way as the limbs of his universal body. When you make your mind enter into the light of consciousness then your mind feels this whole universe as one with that universal being. |
