This is an excerpt from an article on El Collie’s website called Spiritual Stereotypes. It outlines how people can be greatly misinformed about how people can awaken. Here are some of the falsehoods:
The following list is a barrage of common stereotypes that have been hurled at me and others I
know undergoing transformation:
1. Visualizing (or mental concentration) is sufficient (or always required) to rouse and safely direct the
movement of the Kundalini.
2. Only renunciates and those who live austerely make genuine spiritual progress.
3. Only those who regularly meditate, pray, or engage in devout religious practices have powerful
spiritual experiences.
4. Unless one is serene, passionless, detached, and is in control of the mind and physical senses, one
cannot experience higher levels of consciousness.
5. Spiritual experiences are always uplifting, beautiful and welcome.
6. People whose consciousness is evolving are constantly “high” and radiant with happiness.
7. Other people can easily see there is something special and mystical about those who are having
spiritual awakenings.
8. Spiritual experiences are ethereal and only effect the soul — they never involve the body or the
“negative” emotions.
9. A true Kundalini awakening occurs as an instantaneous flash of total enlightenment.
10. Only five people in history of the world (or some infinitesimal number) really have a risen Kundalini.
11. Those who undergo transformational processes are superior to other people.
