How Pan Got His Groove Back
Society's Collective Kundalini Awakening
I discovered Anne-Marie’s website by accident. I was looking for help interpreting the Devil Tarot from my previous blog and found her site.
Her work was not only helpful for understanding the Devil Tarot but also the biggest mysteries of my life, especially the larger purpose of the intense challenges I have gone through most of my life.
Her interpretation of the Devil Tarot may provide more color on my previous blog called 'Why is Pan in the Underworld'. Although she does not seem to share my enthusiasm for the Wirth 22 Major Arcana, she has a strong background in interpreting ancient symbolism. For me, the Devil Tarot (in particular the Wirth Devil Tarot) is much more than a Tarot card. It is actually a better understanding of the evil and darkness in our world and in our own lives and how we can transcend these dark energies. As we clear our own energies and shadows, we do our part to heal the darkness in the world. It is tempting to blame everything on the “other” as there is admittedly much to point at these days that is not terribly nice.
However, what if all the darkness we see going on in the world is just our collective shadow from previous ages? It is hard to consider this possibility as there is so much evil that is so visible now. How did we get so lost and how can we move beyond the shadow energies of the Aryan Age (war energies) and Piscean Age (total control or dystopian energies as we give our power away) to embody our individual sovereignty of the Aquarian Age that is just beginning? The Aquarian age should be about freedom and individual sovereignty, but if we continue to carry the collective shadow energies of the last 4000 years, the science and technology that are such a big part of the Aquarian age will only have war-like, dystopian pathways in our global world. If we each embody the potential of the Aquarian energies, can we can learn to use technology and science in more empowering and vital ways? Can we harmonize better with the natural world and each other?
Her interpretation of the Devil Tarot is here.
I started looking around her website and found her comments about the Kundalini awakening fascinating. I ended up reading two of her books (please find links at the end of this blog). In both of them she is discussing ancient symbolism in the Bible as it relates to the Kundalini awakening.
In her interpretation of this ancient symbolism, John the Baptist was actually Jesus. According to her interpretation of the symbolism imbedded in the Bible, John the Baptist represented the energy of the Kundalini awakening that eventually led to his transformation into Jesus Christ.
I realize this may be hard to read and hear, especially if you are very religious. However, her comments about the Kundalini symbolism are still helpful for better understanding of the potential purpose of the times we are in and what we can each potentially do to help clear toxic old energies.
When you read her books, it is hard not to see the symbolism everywhere you look in the world. It has helped me look at events, even the really terrible things like 911 terror attacks in New York City with new eyes. Certainly, I am not excusing the terror, but if we can somehow own our own shadows and find our inner light then these dark acts will no longer have any place in our lives or world. Even realizing the symbolism takes power away from those committing the darkest acts. The symbolism is sacred, and these acts defame the sacred. Yes, many spiritual people recognize symbolism, but it has been my experience that many spiritual and religious people focus on the evil, but not the sacred nature of the symbolism imbedded in the evil acts (more than not they misinterpret the symbols themselves as negative). It is our birth right to reclaim the sacred. It is what connects us to our own soul, to the Earth and to each other. The brainwashing will just not work understanding these sacred symbols.
These symbols have been with every religion and ancient society one way or another across time. They also show up in Jungian psychology, in philosophy and in gnostic literature. These sacred symbols belong to all of us, not just the dark occultists. Could better understanding of these sacred old symbols help to close the separation of religion, spirituality, science, technology, philosophy, and every other area of our society so that we can find the meaning, connection, and compassion we all seek one way or another? I realize this is easier said than done. I have been working on clearing my traumas for years. However, one of the first things I realized reading her books was that our own Kundalini awakening happens in God’s time, not ours. I have had so many healings, taken so many classes, read so many books over many years. Now I do simple meditations and focus on the Kundalini and sincere requests to the Holy Spirit to help me clear my remaining trauma. I go for long walks in the woods and enjoy all types of nature. I smile at people, and they smile back. I feel more connected now and have more faith.
I have considered her comments about the Kundalini in terms of the Pan and Syringa symbolism playing out in my own life over so many years. It makes so much more sense to me now. It is this Kundalini awakening, our inner serpent rising up our spine and through our chakras, that helps us to reclaim our lost power and life force from our disconnection to nature and to God. It is what helps to clear our mental, emotional, spiritual and even physical traumas. It is part of the Holy Spirit energy, according to Anne-Marie.
I have taken Kundalini yoga, taken Kundalini classes, even experienced some of these energies through intimacy. However, I really did not understand the true nature of how meaningful the Kundalini awakening is or even what it was exactly. Almost everything in our modern society conspires against awakening this sacred fire. However, for each of us, this awakening is in God’s timing, not our own. It is also not something that can happen over night. It requires patience. They are powerful energies and a serious responsibility. Maybe we think it is something we do on our spiritual path, like checking a box. Perhaps some may view it only as a sacred sexual union, so what do you do if you are not in a relationship? It seems more likely than not, the Kundalini awakening is the key to finding a better partner, one of that is better suited to you. Or perhaps it can improve the relationship you already have. These energies are the holy trinity, but just not quite the version we think we understand. This is the version of the holy trinity that we embody, as we receive and integrate the higher energies of our own Christ energies into our newly purified bodies as we finally heal our fallen dualistic energies (both male and female aspects of it). It is what King Solomon sings about in his Song of Songs. This is how we come together and form better collaborations and partnerships to build a new world. This is how we activate our Merkabah. This is how we get in the flow and embrace life again. This is how we heal original separation energies. Most importantly, this is how we learn to forgive ourselves and embrace our own humanity.
How does that saying go? “When the student is ready, the teacher appears.” Today, that teacher for me is Anne-Marie.
You will have to see for yourself. There is so much beauty in her message, and it is so timely for each of us.
