So, how does a guy ACTUALLY cultivate kundalini?
There's a ton of advice out there. Most is somewhere between useless and anti-good. Like, you notice it was wrong after 20 years of trying & maybe made yourself a memetic puppet along the way.
For real: Anyone know?

Sure you want to?
First I recommend reading Gopi Krishna’s autobiography (and other works). Will put the desire to cultivate it into perspective. Furthermore, all you really can do about it is obstruct it less. Whatever helps with that is up to you to find out.

It can be more trouble than it seems. Also seems to be a never ending process…

Exactly. I think there is an affinity between the myth of the Fall of Man and a premature Kundalini awakening—you know, the serpent indirectly messing Adam and Eve’s shit up after they ate the fruit of knowledge in the hope of gaining wisdom.

Everyone looking to arouse it wants to gain transcendental knowledge and supernatural powers; when this is done out of careless selfish interest, one will suffer the fate of Adam and fall from grace. Disastrous for the uninitiated.

I get sort of tired of these myths.
"You need to awaken! But it's not up to you; just happens. But you have to participate! But don't try in the wrong way, it'll break you. But it's all love! But don't touch genitals. Or maybe do! But DO IT RIGHT. But don't ask how. Obey!"

In Zen terms:
It’s all one big koan. A Zen master would tell you to keep raising the Great Doubt to its extreme until you really get what it’s about.
None of it is serious. You don’t *need* to listen to anyone or do anything. Nobody knows jack. It’s all a joke.
The whole thing is you raising waves when no wind blows; but you’ll only see this when you persist until the idiocy of the whole thing becomes apparent. Or not. You can also see it without any of that. The point is it makes no difference. Nirvana is Samsara. ☯️😂

*sigh*
Yep. The great eternal wisdom that's always useless — just DIFFERENTLY useless before vs. after realization.
& ofc insert corrections about there being no "realization", yada yada.
(Nothing against you, mind. I just find this part of the game really annoying.)
