[Opinion] Kundalini - necessary or not?

[DiLoco_DelEted]

In use of Low and or High Magick, is use of Kundalini absolutely necessary to climb the magic ladder?
Let's discuss.
I don't believe so as Tai Chi isn't necessarily using Kundalini while Reiki is.
Martial Arts doesn't necessarily use Kundalini but katas do use flow of energy.
While none of these are relevant, what is relevant 8s energy work.

I honestly think "we" get hung up on words and associations, and if a technique or something comes from the East "we" are in awe but ridicule a similar technique or state if it doesn't have the same name.
Tantra is raising and harnessing sexual energy. Everybody claps.
Edging is raising and harnessing sexual energy. Everybody mocks.
A Buddhist achieving thoughtlessness. Everybody claps.
Homer Simpson having no thoughts. Everybody mocks.
A non western person prays to their god. Everybody claps.
A Western person prays or goes to church. Everybody mocks.

There be those why style this propensity "ethnomasochism."

Deliberate raising of the Kundalini is likely to burn out various energy/subplane webs before their time.

This can cause damage that carries over through several incarnations

Better to allow natural processes.

 

[Diablo]

The whole concept of kundalini is not just flow of energy, but also the rising of one's mental, physical, and spiritual state to the point where they become one with the god they worship. The aim is to be undifferentiated from God. When the kundalini serpent uncoils one reaches a far higher state of existence. It is absolutely crucial to have an awakened kundalini in tantric practices. Only when your kundalini is awakened can you do magic in tantra.

Not neccesary.
