Prakritoshakti and Paramashakti
Once my coach said:'The higher without the lower does not have power, the lower without the higher does not make sense'.
Of course by higher and lower he didn’t mean good or bad, but two manifestations of the Universe energy Shakti. In India they are called Prakritoshakti and Paramashakti.
Prakritoshakti – is the creativity of the Nature itself, that creates new live beings. The powerful instinct of having a family and giving a birth to a new life, is as old as life itself, provoking all creatures to look for their couple and realise the natural destiny. The sexual energy (Kundalini Shakti) is the most powerful and the highest operating in the system of human being. When all the basic needs are satisfied, the next level of human being needs is sex, self-expression, cognition, etc. All of these are connected with the acting of sexual energy.
Prakritoshakti provides a human being with a great power, but at the same time keeps him in ‘slavery’, subjugating him in accordance with its goals. A human being is born on Earth in order to maintain the Universe order, reproduce and give to the Earth, to Nature, the society his health, power and then leave the Earth until the next incarnation.
However there is another dimension of Shakti - the Higher Spiritual Power – Paramashakti or The Holy Spirit. And the secret meaning of the human being life is to connect the natural and the divine in him and grow from the low vibrations of Prakritoshakti to the higher vibrations of Paramashakti. This process in Tantra is connected with raising Kundalini energy, which makes its way up the spine filling all the chakras with energy and activating all the planes of being to the extent of higher spiritual abilities.
Individual is incarnated in the material world, having the physical power of Nature and the ability to act in order to realise those tasks that his soul undertook being in the world of Spirit. But having forgotten about his connection with The Holy Spirit, and being focused on mundane plane wishes solely, and being more precise on Prakritoshakti stimulations, he loses the meaning of his existence. And even having achieved a lot, he eventually comes to frustration and understanding of illusiveness of his progress. The lower does not have a meaning without the higher after all.
There is another way when a person takes a passive position in his life, justifying himself than he is not interested in the mundane level at all, and thinking that this kind of lifestyle is spiritual. He does not understand, that he is losing the opportunity to fulfil the main goal of his incarnation, accomplish what he has to accomplish. He rejects the lower and makes a mistake, because the higher without the lower does not have power.
It is the same in a relationship between a man and a woman: if there is no strong sexual attraction, their union will be unavailing, in material and spiritual meanings. As only sexual energy provokes us to joint creation and switches on the magical alchemic processes of spiritual transformation. But the physical attraction without the spiritual component, leads gradually to degradation and senseless being.
The divine power guides the involution and evolution and it is the only power that can change the person. But it is in his power to put some control the influence of the lower energies of Prakritoshakti and open up towards the transformational power of Paramashakti. Although this is a well known truth for the religious philosophy, but without the practical way it never becomes live.
The Tantric Path under the supervision of the experienced coach, gives a person an opportunity of realising his own potential and the meaning of his incarnation and direct the great Shakti to his spiritual growth.
Kundalini meditation helps awakening the inner source of invigorating, creative power and fill our lives with this energy.
