That's very intriguing! I think that Kundalini is energy, not of a personal kind, but rather a universal or cosmic latency - it's apparently not "one's" kundalini, just "kundalini". I am still puzzled though as to what happens (after death) to those who don't develop their energy bodies - I find myself thinking there should be some sort of fail-safe mechanism in place in the afterworld, to prevent beings from getting "lost" on the other side (there isn't here, so why should there be "there", I know) And if one attains this permanent energy body/diamond body/body of light or whatever one calls it, how would that "individualised" energy body retain an awareness of itself once it merges into the Great Source? I am still a bit confused, too, about a Guru I used to follow who told me that chanting japa for 2 hours a day (which I used to do) would "burn off" the astral body & one would no longer be troubled (!) by o-o-body experiences. Is that a physical possibility, or a metaphorical use of "astral"? Is it actually possible that some people who have done this sort of japa would be left with no astral but only mental (or whatever) subtle vehicles? Has any adept actually seen anything of this nature, or is this Guru just propounding a theory/dogma? (Sorry for all the questions! I seldom actually offer an answer to anyone on anything because I don't believe I know the final answer to anything, so I just get here & ask!)
