This energy of life force has a goal of bringing you to a complete
rest in the universal Self, or the Non-self (not a personal self), or what
has been called the peace that passes understanding. One scripture
describes Kundalini as a goddess (also called Shakti) who awakens
and rushes through the body through the crown of the head to merge
with her lover, the God Shiva, representing pure universal consciousness.
As this journey happens the self-identifications, beliefs and illusions related
to the existing personality are undermined and eventually dissolve. You may
feel you no longer have a place to stand in the world. You are moving toward
standing in the vastness of the whole.
