Kundalini Yoga: Technology and Worldview - PDF file (german)

Yoga Info Basic Text No. 36

The orientation to fixed orders is the basic condition for a consciousness technology like Kundalini Yoga to become effective. In doing so, it is irrelevant whether the underlying conceptual concept is derived exclusively from coherent traditions or whether there can or will actually be evidence that is obligatory in accordance with empirical-scientific thinking. It is crucial that the order can be experienced and become effective in meditative practice or the healing ritual.

As research into the biology of the human body has progressed, numerous mechanisms of action have been "discovered" that have been known by yogis for at least two thousand years. It is clear that there are very complex mechanisms that start at the level of the individual body cells. The mechanisms of action were based on experience accumulated over such a long period of time that all possible errors were gradually eliminated. There are parallels here to biological evolution, which also produces countless mutations according to the try-and-error principle until the best result finally prevails.

With a purely rational understanding of what is happening in the world, we will not be successful in yoga. But even with religious or spiritual assumptions, we get stuck on a level where others cannot follow us. Yoga doesn't work just because we believe in something. If we replace the term belief with worldview, however, we get a step further.

The mind creates a pattern in the grid of reality that is collectively recallable. A unit of measure that is based on mass and quality comes into play here: S for subtlety. The associated curve is exponential. The quantity (ie the number of people making an impulse) has some influence, but this is greatly reduced by the depth (or quality) of the impulse. The more experience there is in an impulse, the more powerful it is and the more impulses with less experience can be balanced.

Including three Kundalini Yoga sets or meditations:
- Yoga exercise series for the Total Self
