But even if kundalini is dangerous, isn't it a faster
way to enlighenment?
First of all it may be useful to observe that there
is no technique currently known on earth that appears to be rapidly catapulting
large number of individuals toward enlightenment. Because kundalini yogas deal
so directly with a powerful enlightening force it seems natural that they would
be ``faster'', but there appears to be alot of tortoise and hare phenomena at
work with newbie kundalini yogins. Many people begin kundalini yogas, have
strong initial experiences and then become frightened. Many who perservere
through this initial phase become distracted by the energy and focus on temporal
and phenomenal applications of the energy.
