How many root strobes until the big one?
I've been having a lot of root chakra strobes lately about 1 per day after each 3 hours of root energy work.
I feel a nice pleasurable feeling going up my spine and feel awake and energized lasting a few hours.
I'd say I've had 6 of these strobes so far.
1.How many more times until the Kundalini itself rises and provides more profound lasting changes?
Is this a case of just repeat repeat and repeat on the root and then eventually the big one will occur?
2.The course wasn't clear about if Robert had had many root strobes like I did and after those had his first big Kundalini experience or if his first attempt at a strobe WAS the big one itself?
3.I can meditate for a few hours and achieve similar gains that last a few hours often leading to an OBE but these don't last long and I can only access lower astral levels and the mental clarity high also only lasts a 8 hours at best.
So far this strobe is doing to me a similar high to meditating for a few hours does.
I'm hoping unlike meditation these strobes and Kundalini will provide more permanent highs?
To be always in the enlightened state, always lucid in the dream state, always able to be in clear communication with the higher self and guides and to at will be able to see the higher dimensions is the goal.
How long is a piece of string? How many times does it take to stroke your genitals to orgasm? The answers to these questions depend on the individual. I do not mean to be crude here, but in all seriousness, raising Kundalini likely has an oddly intimate similarity with sexual practices, or tantric practices, in that, it's not all just about 'the strokes'. Consider, for example, how some people can't climax on genital stimulation alone. This is also true for Chakras. Kundalini is more about how you, the dreamer, uses the movement of energy to immerse and tantalize your chakras toward their intended climax. The immersive narrative, combined with the energetic stimulation that one does through my father's Energy Work techniques (which, by the way, should be just as physical as if you were poking around or stroking your own internal organs), is the kind of experience that you want to induce when performing your Kundalini practices. When my father raised his Kundalini, he spent many hours and days in a constant altered state while working on and exploring his root Chakra. So much so that, without breaking his altered state, would get up from his wooden crooked chair to go to the bathroom, do his corporeal duties, and when finished, return to his chair to continue working on raising his Kundalni. With that said, we know that some people are just naturally more sensitive to Kundalini energy, in that, just after a single class with my father, they were able to raise their Kundalini 2 days later during a group session. The answer to your question is thus largely determined by your predisposition (genetics, psychological and physical conditioning, and etc), competency (your ability to work with energy (sense perception, intuition, 'muscle', focus, technique, and experience), your ability to induce, hold, and work in altered states), and the amount of time you spend working on raising your Kundalini. I can confirm that my father has not personally experienced these 'root strobes', but he can confirm that some of his students (those who have raised Kundalini), have experienced them. I would say that the symptoms that you describe are to be expected. Perhaps though, they are not something that you should focus on. Nor should you focus on the outcome. Try to forget time and purpose, and focus instead, on the journey that your 'Root Chakra' is trying to enchant you into. Eventually, if you keep going, and the familiarity of your energy body grows, you will most likely trigger a Kundalini experience. However, just to clarify on something that you have said: just because you raise Kundalini, does not guarantee that you will forever be in an 'enlightened state' or a 'permanent high'. Though, yes, it will permanently change you, but like all things, if you don't use it, you lose it. Please do continue your practices. You are making good progress. And I look forward to hearing more about your adventures.
