A Stone’s Throw concludes with the supernatural event of my kundalini awakening—the psycho-spiritual force that lies dormant within us all and activates super-consciousness once awakened. When I first wrote A Stone’s Throw I left this final chapter out and my memoir closed with the Crystal-X chapter. I was concerned that the kundalini event would be too much for most readers to process and might take away from the rest of the memoir’s context. I was also persuaded by editors and publishers that it I would have greater commercial success if I tamed down the whole book and made it more generically anti-drug and more about addiction than anything else. I told them to go get f*#ked.

The kundalini episode in A Stone’s Throw was condensed. For several weeks I roamed LA in a hyper-alert state, rarely needing any sleep. Lia indulged my impulses in going on quests. I had powerful insights to crimes taking place and was determined to thwart them. While most of these quests were quixotic and came to nothing, a few resulted in my intervening on a few scenarios that altered the course of someone’s life.

Eventually, you learn that interfering with reality is irresponsible. You can try to influence someone or a circumstance, but it is irresponsible to interfere with action or reaction. It is not appropriate to interfere with fate or karma. Everything happens for a very good reason and humans should work within the material plane, not the corporeal ones. You gotta stay within your paygrade!

But this was overwhelming. Picking up on the magnitude of other people’s thoughts and feelings can be intense. Like if you had that radio volume turned all the way up and several stations came in at once, instead of one at a time.

When I was in close proximity to anyone, their transmission was picked up clearer. Being near to anyone made much of their thoughts clear. Most of what I perceived were general thoughts and feelings, not specific ones. It’s not as though someone could think of a number and I would know it. It was more abstract than this. I got a sense of how they felt, what they perceived, believed feared and were concerned. I was still capable of having my own individual thoughts and feelings too. These perceptions of other’s thoughts did not interfere with my own as I could multitask all of these thoughts and perceptions together without effort. It simply didn’t bother or distract me. The oddness of the experience happening was more distracting than the abilities themselves. These abilities didn’t “feel” unusual or extraordinary. I knew intellectually that they were extraordinary but they didn’t feel that way.

I learned quickly to keep my intuitive perceptions discreet. They manifested so normally to me that, in the beginning, I would speak openly of them. It took several days to realize that people were beginning to assume I was odd and weird and may be “losing it.”
I learned not to voice my perceptions and notions out loud. Over time, I learned how to subtly frame these perceptions in ways that could be construed as normal. I would have opted to remain completely private on all my intuitions but that can be challenging when you sense that someone is struggling mentally or emotionally and you have an insight to a solution that can help them to heal and solve an issue. I don’t wanna walk by a car accident and not try to help!
And not all my intuitive perceptions were correct. Sometimes I would feel quite certain about a future event or circumstance and be entirely wrong about it. The ratio was about 70% accurate intuition and 30% inaccurate.

Within a few weeks, the pain of the kundalini traversing my body dissipated. I knew this was because it was beginning to settle at the base of my spine again, becoming dormant. I did not know how to keep it awakened. I was saddened by it slowly becoming dormant but also relieved as the pain became less. The whole experience was overwhelming and while it was alluring and powerful I also wanted a sense of normalcy. It was a paradox: wanting to remain in the exalted state forever and never feeling tired or fatigued, while my material, mundane mind longed for meaninglessness.
What I know of kundalini and what I’m sharing here was learned well after the event itself. Once it settled back to a more dormant state, some perceptions and abilities remained active. I am not the same and never will be. I quit doing drugs immediately after the kundalini event and began to study and practice kundalini exercises to reawaken it. This is being detailed in my biography sequel, “Throwing Stones: A Ripple in Still Water” which I am currently working on.

It is taught by ancient sages and gurus that the fontanel is the precise location the soul enters the physical body. The Tibetan Book of the Dead is the Tibetan Buddhist manual of reincarnation and explains that it takes 49 days for the soul to reincarnate from one life to another. It is on or about the 49th day that the pineal gland forms. The pineal gland was dubbed the “seat of consciousness” by ancient Greeks. It is located directly below the fontanel.
While there are tens of thousands of chakras supporting the physical form, the main ones are the seven along the spine. There are seven notes on the musical scale providing the core of all musical octaves and seven base colors of the color spectrum providing an infinite variety of color wave frequencies. The human form is an expression of an individual’s seven core chakras and there is an infinite amount of arrangements of them making every person completely unique. We all have eyes, nose, heart, skeletal bones, yet we are all quite different due to the specific arrangements of our chakras, their rate of spin, i.e. axis, rotation, speed, etc. Once our psycho-spiritual energy is raised and fully opened, Enlightenment, or moksha, occurs—release from the cycle of birth, death and rebirth with super-consciousness.

 Bible Mystery:

And the LORD God said, Behold, the man is become as one of us, to know good and evil: and now, lest he put forth his hand, and take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live forever.

In the book of Genesis, God is having a dialogue with someone (who is never identified—though He may be referring to Himself in the third person). God is saying now that Adam and Eve, i.e. humans, have eaten from the Tree of Knowledge they have become “like us” having omniscience and divine knowledge. He is referring to the apple Eve was ate after the snake offered it to her.

He concludes that if they are not expelled from the Garden of Eden they will eventually eat from the Tree of Life also which will then make them immortal too.  

Mystics

Mystics and high initiates interpret this as a codified message referring to the enlightening potential of the kundalini experience, which makes people “one with everything”, becoming divinized.

There are many who understand the bible and torah to be encoded instructions to become “realized”, which means to become divine—all knowing and immortal. These same mystics hold to the insight that the reason these instructions were encoded in these scriptural texts was to weed-out the souls that would abuse the knowledge and the powers of divinity and to protect the power of the clergy by preventing other people accessing enlightenment. It is certainly hard to argue with the latter as history has shown again and again that the heads of religions, from popes to imams to yoga masters have often systematically deprived others of true knowledge in their desperate attempts to keep power. Many misguided Muslims destroyed other religion’s scriptures, many warped Christian movements censured and altered original scriptures to conform to their oppressive powers and many fake gurus and toga masters exploit their crude abilities to impress ignorant people and demand material support to cult-like proportions.

Mystics often refer to “the underground stream”. This is a reference to the authentic body of knowledge and history that is accurate. The underground stream is available to anyone who sincerely seeks to know it (seek and ye shall find…”), but it is not advertised or outwardly acknowledged outside of the mystic circles. This body of knowledge and history is mostly handed down and preserved orally even though many books are written by initiates too. As mystic initiates, we don’t worry keep it secret or hidden, we just don’t preach it from the mountain tops, but we are safe since conventional society members who might abuse it are rarely committed or have their intuition developed enough o connect the dots and see its potential. While there are a few mystics that may oppose my own sharing of this information, most of us stick to the literal meaning of the word “occult”—hidden in plain view!
