Introduction

Throughout history, there have been rare people who have experienced God-realization in an instant. For these people, all illusion fell away, never to return. Such a radical and immediate shift in consciousness requires years of integration, usually in total isolation from the world, which has been the case with each of these individuals. This time in seclusion was needed for the physical body and psyche to adapt to expanded states of consciousness. Because these individuals experienced such immediate and radical shifts in reality, there has been little information available about the process of moving through the higher states of consciousness. It is intuited that the stages of growth leading to these expanded states were experienced in previous incarnations, allowing for the rapid expansion and transcendence of these stages in the current lifetime. Therefore, what we are left with, are many descriptions of the expanded state of God-realization itself, but little information about the stages of growth which are experienced as one moves from Individual Consciousness to God-realization.

It is my intention, through this book, to share the experience of this process. For me, the process has been rapid, just over five years. What is rare, is that it has taken place in the midst of an ordinary life, without the external assistance of a physical teacher or guru. The changes have been rapid and radical. When my Kundalini first awakened, I was thirty-eight, a wife and mother of two. I held a job as an insurance secretary and had very little religious background or aspiration. As I searched for understanding for what I was experiencing, I was disappointed to find so little information about the Kundalini process. What I did find, was written as symbolism, using the ancient Hindu archetypes as the foundation. A few had written about their initial Kundalini awakening, but nothing about the latter stages. I longed to read accounts about the experience itself, about the physical changes which were occurring in my body, about the rapid shifts in reality which threatened my sanity and about the painful process of purification. I wanted to know about the process, not just the end result. I wanted to understand it from the western paradigm, from within a Christian understanding of God. I vowed that someday, I would write such a book, to provide the information for others that I so longed for myself.

This book is the culmination of that vow, it’s completion a product of Divine intervention. I am ever in awe at the perfection of creation as God moves through the collective body of man. I have experienced this perfection flowing through my awareness as I chose the information to be presented here. In the first section, I have provided basic information regarding Kundalini. I have strived to present it in a very down-to-earth and simplistic way. I have included areas which have not heretofore been addressed, such as diet and nutrition, physiological changes and sexuality. In the second section, I have presented advanced understanding for the process. Here, I have shared the experience of moving through the latter and more advanced stages of consciousness. I have presented a blueprint for the stages of growth within each plane of existence and how that experience manifests itself through human experience.

The evolution of humankind is now experiencing a shift. It is time for God’s plan to be fulfilled. This fulfillment will come through the evolution of humankind as we move into perfect balance and Divine union, joining together heaven and earth. This change will come collectively only after it has come individually. Spirit will be manifested completely through each and every one of us. Since the initial Kundalini awakening (described in my first book, Soul Speak: Opening to Divine Guidance (Living Spirit Press, 2000), I have known that the energy I felt in my body was God’s hand, transforming me into my Divine potential. The process was confusing, painful, difficult, and even terrifying at times. It is also the most incredible and unspeakably wondrous experience mankind could ever have. Thank you for your presence on this earth, and for your willingness to awaken to your Divine potential.

5.0 out of 5 stars A most welcome addition to books about Kundalini, July 3, 2003

By 

Solomae (Oklahoma) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Kundalini and the Evolution of Consciousness (Paperback)

"Clearly written from a Western, mostly Christian point of view, Solomae Sananda's latest book Kundalini and the Evolution of Consciousness contains a great deal of new and valuable information. It is a most welcome addition to books about Kundalini Energy.

The majority of books about Kundalini, many written from an Eastern point of view, are either "How To Books" on awakening Kundalini or descriptive autobiographies. Other books, more medically or scientifically based, describe the symptoms and problems that can ensue when Kundalini energy is released. Sananda in Kundalini and the Evolution of Consciousness goes a step further; she not only describes what happens when Kundalini awakens, but also describes the different, cyclical levels one goes through before the cleansing process is completed.

Kundalini awakening, although it is usually the initial trigger, is not, as many people believe, necessarily synonymous with enlightenment. Most of those persons who are K awakened find that rather than an instantaneous explosion into aware-ness, it is a process, and sometimes a lengthy one at that. Ms Sananda describes the relatively short five year process she went through to full enlightenment.

She describes the common physical symptoms one encounters, from hot flashes,headaches, changes in breathing patterns and hormonal changes, to heightened sexuality and metaphysical experiences. Many of these symptoms are blissful, others uncomfortable. Sananda gives both an explanation of why these symptoms occur, and, in many cases, how to deal with them. For those who are past the initial "clearing" stages, at some intermediary point in the process, the description of the different levels one encounters is especially useful."

5.0 out of 5 stars a Very Important Book ..., December 6, 2007

This review is from: Kundalini and the Evolution of Consciousness (Paperback)

if ... you are experiencing the power surge of a force which seems to have remained unnamed except by Hindu adepts, who called it kundalini.
If ... you are a scholar (in your mostly left-brain phase) of kundalini, it is also a very important book, though you won't find as many references as Arthur Avalon's: "The Serpent Power" (also very important). It is an important book for the latter because it is written from direct experience. The author isn't the person who touched the rainment of the one who had touched the rainment of the person who saw G-d. She is the one who saw. For that reason, this book is a clear and concise treatise on: 1) the personal experience of kundalini awakening; 2)the meaning of it all for her (the indiviual) and us (the human population in general); 3) the larger context as outlined in the various levels that we must go through to crawl (or be blasted by the Force) out of our sleepy physically-dominated state into the awakened state of G-d consciousness and ultimate merge with the one. Scholars tend to use other scholars (find them in numerous footnotes) as the only authentic source. This book is a direct source. [btw, I personally love footnotes].
The book is readable, helpful (especially for those who are going through some of the un-earthly physical, psychological, emotional, spiritual changes associated with full kundalini awakening) and aware. This is to say that the author's awareness permeates every page.
Additionally, it is clear and concise and without the BS of incomplete understanding: qualities of someone who has great wisdom through experience.
Full kundalini awakening is like a storm, which you are not sure that you can survive -- it has you by the balls. (or ovaries, LOL). This book is an anchor, though the swells keep coming and you can't tell from where.

Sections on nutrition, symptoms, meditation, kundalini questions and answers, and excerpts from her diary round out this helpful book.
I would like to, here, thank the author for her gift.
I haven't read her other books and I was a bit "culturally aliented" by her website, but the fact remains that this book is a jewel in the kundalini bibliography.
