The Thought on the Kundalini and the Schizophrenia

Using the thought of the Durkheim, Plato, and Jung

Abstract

In this paper, I discuss a philosophical understanding of Kundalini awakening and schizophrenia, their characteristics and differences with reference to the theory by Durkheim, Jung, and Plato. Then I discuss what is the ideal treatment for them. I say that the process of spiritual emergence is not only the peaceful but the trying process such as the Kundalini syndrome. According to Jung, even if the ego is not weak, if the too strong unconscious archetypes including Kundalini are awakened, a state that can be evaluated as psychosis can be occurring. According to Plato, to resists the desires for the pleasures of the body is the way of the just soul. By Durkheim, the torment is the sign that a man is independent from the solidarity between the body and secular surroundings. Kundalini awakening is a painful spiritual experience that is sometimes evaluated only as the schizophrenia, where Kundalini is suppressed by too strong antipsychotic medication resulting in the rising risks of malignant neuroleptic syndrome with unknown heat and stiffness. But from the point of the schizophrenia as an spiritual awakening process, applying Hindu tradition that release blocked energy in addition to the antipsychotic medication is important. The Hindu Naga Panchamy Festival Puja, Astrologic Raaf Keet(Kaal Sarp) Shanti Puja, Rudra Abishekham, Veda-Prana Scriptures(Varaha, Lalita Sahaslanama, etc.), and the meditations with the profound Diksha can release stagnant Kundalini energy and reintegrate it into Shiva with reference to the author's own experience and other cases.
