First Reviewers:
I
t was a great pleasure to read this book that Ruth has written about Kundalini.
Though she speaks about her own experiences, she also weaves in others’
experiences and references that give so much depth.
I had to keep reading; it was as if the book kept unfolding bits and pieces of
information that had been omitted from so many other books written on this
subject. It fills in missing links and connections that make it coherent and
flowing.
She makes Kundalini come alive and transmits a feeling of familiarity with
this rare spiritual experience, but, at the same time, we feel it is very sacred.
There is something in this book for everyone to relate to whether they are
ready or not for this spiritual journey.
The story is personal, yet, at the same time, it is holistic and encompassing; it
moves with a rhythm that is like the Kundalini force, taking the reader out
beyond the mundane into the complex spiritual realms then bringing us back into
the known. Ruth shares her knowledge in a way that is compassionate,
grounding and deeply informative.
I am very happy to know that this sacred journey will be given to the public,
and that Ruth has so bravely opened her heart to share this with us.

L
ast night I read chapter 16,…This chapter to me is one example of seeing
the world not through the trained eyes but through the energy’s eyes. It
seems when we shift our focus inward, a new experience of understanding
emerges. As you wonderfully describe as the ‘overlay of visions’, and seeing
both the beauty and the horror simultaneously, inner pain/traumas take on forms
of entities that are a part of us. The heart begins to have fingers of energy that
can wrap around things too. The knowledge of multiple levels existing
simultaneously are intensified and one begins to understand that everything is
not as it seems. To begin to experience the world in this way is the formation of
the roots of compassion for ourselves and our environment. I am really enjoying
your book. I find a lot of strength in it. Thank you for writing it.

Invocation
I
bow to That Shiva who is the supreme principle and cause of all worlds
manifest and unmanifest. I bow to my guru and beloved teacher, and to his guru,
Bade Baba, for the gifts of shaktipat and their watchful care of my life and heart.
I surrender my acts before their feet and cast before the reader the jewels of
light that have been bestowed upon me, so that the reader may see beyond the
obscuring veils of human limitation.
It is these enormous beings that speak through me, a fortunate recipient of
their wisdom who has been given the fulfillment of writing this testimony to their
wonder.
