Status Updates From Serpent Rising: The Kundali...

Actually loving every page of this. So fun. Not for its literal “truth” value. But for its (a) comprehensiveness, (b) actual high quality level (as far as these things go? This is a really good one of these), and (c) just cuz 🥰

Oh. And one more thing. I am for sure reading his other shit. So think of all of that what you will.

But considering all of the above. It kind of RULES. And I’m grateful the author went so hard in the paint. Their confidence comes off as sort of cringe at times. But also kind of reassuring and normalizing too. And I’m basically here for it (with appropriate skeptical reservations).

You couldn’t do brain surgery based on the neuroscience in this book. But you could say the same about LOTS of books by therapists. And you may not be able to 100% make sense of (or navigate through) a kundalini experience based on the spiritual advice in this book. We can also say that about just about any of the traditional texts (to various degrees). It’s more of an autobiography/phenomenon/metaphysics.

Somewhat entertaining. Somewhat off putting. Strangely fun. Hard to put down (for some reason). If you’re seeking something 100% reliable and grounded in either traditional texts, or contemporary methods. This one is neither. It cherry picks from traditional sources, and neuroscience. Such that it’s hard to determine the real reliability or use value of the text. But it’s HELLA fun/interesting/entertaining.
