43. “According to the Yogis there are two nerve currents in the
spinal column, called Pingala and Ida, and there is a hollow
canal called Susumna running through the spinal cord. At
the lower end of the hollow canal is what the Yogis call the
“Lotus of the Kundalini.” They describe it as triangular in
form, in which, in the symbolical language of the Yogis,
there is a power called the Kundalini coiled up. When that
Kundalini awakes it tries to force a passage through this
hollow canal, and, as it rises step by step, as it were, layer
after layer of the mind becomes open, all these different
visions and wonderful powers come to the Yogi. When it
reaches the brain the Yogi is perfectly detached from the
body and mind; the soul finds itself free.”
