The Horror of “Awakening the Kundalini Backwards”

If I say that in the animal world, maturation is measured by the capacity to take responsibility for your own welfare, most won’t disagree. But if you extend that to the human world, we run into problems. It isn’t enough to say that we should care for people who cannot care for themselves — I believe that. The problem comes when people don’t want you to even suggest that an inability to cope for yourself is an issue. That is madness, and just egoistic fear.

If I say that adults have responsibility for their actions and emotions, more than children, then yes, I’m implying that the MORE responsibility you take, the more of an “adult” you are. And an awake, aware, adult human being is clearly an ideal in this sense, a direction to aim for.

If my actions affect my results (and they do, in varying degrees, in all three arenas of life) then intelligence is problem solving, but WISDOM would be knowing which problems to solve…and repeating past errors would be a distinct arena of study. You’ll never get to 100% efficiency in the real world, but those who take more responsibility are going to keep searching for answers when others quit…and get better results.

But you still have that question about causes (actions) and results. And people will try to excuse their actions, and blame others for their results, in ways that profit no one, especially themselves. And sometimes this leads to real horror.
