Sept. 24, 2005 What is kundalini? Well, Serpent Power or Kundalini is said to bring enlightenment. People affected by kundalini may say that to become enlightened is to awaken. These terms might not mean a lot to a person until they wake up and hear the birdies sing. Or, some people might call these winged forms angels. What is the reptilian brain? Well, the reptilian brain is contained deep inside of our brains, deeper within us than the cerebral cortex and the limbic system. The reptilian brain is also called the R-cortex. While searching Google under "R-complex," I found the following information. Years ago there was a study on (forgot the species) monkeys. Their behavior was studied before & after surgery to the primitive R-cortex of the brain. The commentator goes on to say that the scientists were surprised because the monkeys exhibited very little behavior after damage to the R-cortex. The scientists had believed that "with creatures as highly evolved as primates that most behavior resulted from the more developed areas of the brain, not the most primitive R (for reptilian) cortex that is buried deep under the cerebral lobes & the source of "fight or flight" & other primitive behaviors." We humans are very monkey-like in our expression to the R-complex. Indeed, it’s monkey-like for humans to form a band or troop in which everyone demonstrates the motto "All for one and one for all." People bring this motto up in songs, stories, myths, legends, and even in what is called "rising kundalini" or "serpent power." The rising "serpent power" in fact makes a person feel very spiritual and very socially-oriented. One might think of turtles clustered together sunning themselves on a log in summer and huge balls of snakes gathered together inside a cave or under a house in mid-winter. Indeed, togetherness is very social, spiritual, and serpentine. This kundalini is far more catholic than sexual love. Another science work on monkeys is Heinrich Kluever's research summarized in his book "Behavior Mechanisms in Monkeys." In this book a two-page note describes how a female Cebus monkey whom Dr. Kluever considered the most intelligent one in his group used a pointed object to draw with aimlessly when she was bored or perplexed. She sometimes performed this spontaneous and free drawing activity when she wasn't actively engaged in problem-solving activity. It's natural to wonder that since non-goal oriented this behavior is suppressed in most children today, what other activity in the R-complex is suppressed in modern children and if that suppression has anything to do with the sudden release of inhibition during an episode of "rising kundalini" or a "manic episode" or a "schizophrenic episode." Because in our modern polyglot muddle and psychobabble, we really are like T.S. Eliot's "patient etherized upon a table." Society truly has put us to sleep. ------------ About the author: John L.
