Unseeking Seeker Poet Ottava rima

Sushumna: a different view

In as felt and so known, the breath of God
rises from root to crown, in a straight line;
the central axis in mind-body pod,
having nothing at all to do with spine,
although later, when supple spine has thawed,
it plays its role as energies align,
looping form vertically to divide,
male and female aspects hiding inside.

Thus the Sushumna or staff of power,
propels the kundalini straight to source,
pulled by God, who Himself does empower
ascent of our soul without use of force,
feeling blissful in a divine shower,
chartering thus breath by breath, its life course.
Our view from scriptures may be contrary 
but having walked the path, we’re not wary.

Bill Baker February 2, 2024 at 4:03 PM Interesting thoughts, my friend. "Later, when supple spine has thawed, it plays its role as energies align" The spine is metaphorically the direct access to the power of creation. " Looping form vertically to divide, male and female aspects hiding inside". We all are complete, with spiritual aspects of male and female. Without the alignment with the source, some are confused with which dominates their physical being. When in alignment both are the same in oneness. Blessings, Bill (my thoughts) Unseeking Seeker February 2, 2024 at 7:34 PM It’s not so easy to determine the final truth, since the channels are in the etheric body, not in physical form, that’s why scientists say they do not exist. I’m aware texts refer to spine but in actuality of the experience, the Sushumna is a straight vertical funnel from the root chakra to the fontanel.

The spine at back goes till Medulla, crown, dips over front to third eye and then down over front, looping form ~ right side male, left female, represented as Ardhnarishwara* (*check Wiki)

Silent One February 1, 2024 at 11:29 AM Very deep and spiritual.. Unseeking Seeker February 1, 2024 at 6:14 PM I guess it is a bit deep. Scriptures say the Sushumna is in the spine but in actuality of being it does not seem so. The pranic energy grid in our bodies is mysterious.
