10. You finally experience that happiness arises from inside of you, like an aquifer overflowing. It is just there—pure and clear—and totally independent of the external world.
9. You finally come upon the inner source of rejuvenation, radiant health, and self-healing.
8. You experience a sea of bliss everywhere around you and inside of you. Waves of bliss flow through and wash over you. Without need of touch, caress, soft words, eye contact, or stimulation of any kind the mystery of sexuality unfolds within your mind.
7. Your inner mermaid/merman awakens. Moonlight fills you from within. Sweet, innocent love flows through you and “out of your belly” like a stream “of living water.”
6. You understand where all fairy tales and mythology arise from. It is as if the air around you is so saturated with energy and archetypal imagery that any desire, wish, dream, or ideal easily expresses itself in story form.
5. You understand now where King Solomon was coming from when he said, “To everything a time and a season.” You understand the rhythms (biorhythms) and cycles of life.
4. All obsessions, compulsions, addictions vanish no longer having any hold on you. Your brain produces and processes sensations, pleasure, and experience without any undue reliance on external experience.
3. Like Buddha you are so “centered” in yourself and downright detached that you see the outer world as images appearing in a mirror, as scenes being played out in a dream. It is not that life is not real. Rather, life is seen as if illuminated with the light of another world, a realm of the soul.
2. Krishna and his consort, Radha, appear in front of you. They glance over with a smile and nod and go about doing whatever avatars do to get through the day.
1. That terrifying, monstrous viper, that fiendish serpent that haunts you and attacks you at first disguising herself as a beautiful woman or man and then as she embraces you turning into something horrible and fateful--she reveals herself to you now in her true nature—she is the goddess Kundalini. You just failed to recognize that all your addictions, greed, selfishness, daily routines, and attachments were blocking the sacred from revealing itself to you in its wonder, divinity, and beauty. (from Swami Muktananda’s biography)
