“No great mind has ever existed without a touch of madness.”
- ARISTOTLE

Although this process is natural to being human, it has been condemned and misunderstood throughout history. Even to this day, the Kundalini Process, and human metamorphosis in general, are uncomprehended and mostly pathologized. Institutionalized psychological and psychiatric approaches to mental health do not understand this process, and tend to medicate individuals who start presenting symptoms of transmutation.

Institutionalized religion does not help either. Even though literature about this bio-spiritual process abounds, it is mostly hidden behind unintelligible metaphors or contained in secret manuscripts that have been either burnt or hidden. The remainder of it has been distorted to create misinformation and strengthen fear-based consciousness instead of supporting its dissolution. Many of the symptoms of transformation have been demonized throughout the history of humanity. Those who successfully underwent the process and were able to ascend and release all fear-based patterning and structures to embody unconditional love and cosmic consciousness were seen as evil or were persecuted for being different and going against the status quo; witches, sorcerers, magicians, healers and others who had a deep connection to Nature and the Spirit World, were seen as people to be feared, and many ended up cast off or killed.  

Western medicine is not a supportive resource either. It moved away from the holistic understanding of the human experience and reinforces a fragmented understanding of being human and the healing process by separating the physical body from the mental, emotional and spiritual bodies. It sees illness as something caused at the physical level and thus something to be fixed at the physical level, rather than understanding the multidimensionality of being human, and the interrelationship between all the levels and dimensions of being. Also, its treatment approaches are now intertwined with pharmaceutical companies and their profit-based interests, distorting its original humane intention. 

Cross-cultural Shamanic approaches and some schools of Traditional Chinese Medicine understand this evolutionary bio-spiritual process. However, the existing spiritual, mental and physical approaches to healing accessible to most have yet to expand their philosophical, conceptual and practical assumptions and practices in order to embrace and support the Ascension Process. The process itself shatters the very foundation upon which these fragmented approaches rest, so most likely shifts on that front will not be seen anytime soon. 

This leaves the person undergoing this process and its symptoms utterly alone in a world in which the systems that are supposedly developed to support human wellbeing end up inhibiting the process rather than supporting it. 

By not understanding in full depth how our multidimensional nature works, we are favoring and collectively reinforcing a fear-based separation consciousness that locks us up in a very narrow understanding and experience of being human. And through this myopic lens, we are perceiving human transmutation and its symptoms as pathological and thus something to be “fixed” or “stopped”. Due to the lack of information and understanding about the Ascension Process, -the individual and global process of Transformation of Consciousness we are currently going through-, we are aborting the emergence and expression of our Inner Spirit, and we are resisting the next phase of human evolution.  As part of The Great Awakening, more and more of us will start undergoing transmutation and experiencing the symptoms of the death of the ego and the opening of the cosmic mind and heart. Understanding what this process is about and how to navigate it is essential to being able to be supportive of the process and flow through it with greater ease, rather that resist it due to fear and misunderstanding.
