Crying and the Kundalini

Yes "without" the Kundalini awakening in a person crying can be an option. We
spend much time and energy here in our western confidence crafting our many
strategies of controlling our emotional body. Not so much the ego but certainly
the emotional. "Movie sets" of control that look solid from the outside but are
hollow in the presence of the inner divine. Years and years go into this
training of control and in some "the profession" is geared towards the total
confinement and control over the emotions.

When the Kundalini awakening occurs this control may not ever be present within
the expression of the ego consciousness or higher mental consciousness again.

Blissful tears and tears of release and cleansing will come often and typically
carve rivers of grace upon the face of the awakened. Heaving and sobs of joy and
release will accompany these tears. The tear drop is the lake of freedom and the
lake is a reservoir of enlightenment in its nascent infractions of grace upon
the sleeping being.

Yes it can be inconvenient for those still living the dream of illusion. As the
awakening occurs, as the rays of knowingness and enlightenment begin to fill the
inner eyelid, a new paradigm begins to unfold as the new eyes gain their sight.
A new life. Tears of love and bliss and joy and ecstasy begin to nourish the
five bodies of human expression. Control of this comes for the asking of it but
not from the conscious desire of control over it. One can have a job and the
many aspects of the old life but the new Kundalini life will command this
situation. Kundalini takes total control.

The old self is slowly replaced by the new emerging self and the call of
divinity increases this internal surrender.

If tears are an inconvenience and a pain and an insurmountable interference in
your life then do not go towards the Kundalini. (IF) you still have that choice.
Certainly do not go into it thinking that you have attained such a magnificent
control over your ego and emotional being. The surprise to the contrary may be
overwhelming. - blessings and tears of joy to you! - chrism

Ramakrishna Paramahamsa was a Poojari and a epitome of 'Bhakti Yogi'.
He was proof enough that basic emotions of 'Crying' could generate Mental Power
towards self-realisation. He used to cry whenever he sat in Prayer.

He became seized by a desire to have a vision of Kali—a direct realization of
her reality—and believed the stone image to be living and breathing and taking
food out of his hand. At times he would weep bitterly and cry out loudly while
worshiping, and would not be comforted, because he could not see his mother Kali
as perfectly as he wished.

At night, he would go into a nearby jungle and spend the entire night meditating
on God, without any consciousness of even his clothes falling off. People became
divided in their opinions—some held Ramakrishna to be mad, and some took him to
be a great lover of God.
