AtD: John MacTaggart Ellis MacTaggart

[David Morris]

In Tantrik Shaivism ( 850 CE) the first manifestation of something from
nothing is *vibration," a wave. As vibration becomes more dense, matter
emerges.  These guys knew quantum realities by experience (meditation) way
before science was invented.  The mantra is essentially a practice of
generating sound vibrations inside the body to connect in specific ways to
the origins of creation.

"The origin of the term *spanda* (“tremor” or “vibration”) is found in the
spiritual tradition of the Kashmir Shaivism. *Spanda* is the primordial
vibration of the Universe and of our being.

The concept of “primordial vibration” usually refers to the creation of the
universe; there are texts which refer to it as the transcendental cause of
the universe. The word “vibration” alone evokes the idea of a periodic
movement."

In this paper I will outline the psychophysical basis of the energy
described as Kundalini from a scientifically trained perspective.  I will
also present various specific techniques for acquisition of Kundalini
experiences derived from several decades of participation in the
exploration these contemplative practices.
