I couldn’t resist moving forward on these pathworkings and have some notes for this second one.
The fire that we encounter in the beginning of this meditation is our own kundalini or sexual energy, the fire down below, which can destroy us unless we find some way to raise it upward. For anyone who has experienced spontaneous Kundalini release it is no surprise how it can forcefully burn through any blocks and imperfections within our bodies and souls. In doing this it releases all trapped emotions and toxins. So we can choose to symbolically work with our sexual energy or physically work with it. This seems to be the solitary path that gradually finds its way to the missing and balancing energy of water, the opposite sex energy.
Here we encounter the vital life force in its destructive and creative aspect as all life forms are created, spend their time in fire and then pass away only to be reborn in a more purified existence. As we rise through this purifying fire we at last are purified to the point of our entire essence being reduced to that of fire. This is the same as that of the phoenix who is continually reborn out of the ashes of its own destruction.
One of the hidden messages in this meditation is that we can move forward as solitaries with confidence because ultimately our efforts will find a way to be balanced as we draw the opposite and needed energy toward us. But that is the end of the journey. This path corresponds to that of resurrection or lust in the Tarot cards. We use the Kundalini fire to cleanse our bodies, minds and souls. But to do this it needs to be raised upward to the higher levels.
