TURNER FINDS KUNDALINI COLOUR 1830 ?

DID TURNER EXPERIENCE A KUNDALINI WHEN HIS PAINTINGS PRE-EMPTED IMPRESSIONISM BY 50 YEARS? What is a kundalini= the union of the opposites..........................................The word Kundalini is derived from a Sanskrit word ‘Kundal’ meaning coiled up. It is the primordial dormant energy present in three-and-a-half, coils at the base of the spine in a triangular bone called the Sacrum. The Latin name ‘Os Sacrum’ suggests that it is a holy or sacred part of the body. The ancient Greeks were aware of this and therefore they called it the ‘Hieron Osteon’, noting that it was the last bone to be destroyed when the body is burnt, and also attributed supernatural powers to it. Egyptians also held this bone to be very valuable and considered it the seat of special power……………………………………… In the West, Sacrum is symbolised by the sign of Aquarius and by the Holy Grail, container of the water of life. ……………………………………….. The Kundalini, which is to nourish the tree of life within us, is coiled up like a serpent and therefore it has been called, ‘The Serpent Power’. It has been described in great detail in the Upanishads. Kundalini Yoga is supposed to be supreme in all the Yogas. Guru Vashistha asserted that Kundalini is the seat of absolute knowledge. The awareness of the presence of this primordial energy Kundalini within the human body was considered by the sages and saints to be the highest knowledge. The Kundalini and Chakras have been vividly described in Vedic and Tantric texts…………………………………. In the West Christians called it a reflection of the Holy Ghost, and worshipped its manifestations as tongues of flames over the heads of apostles during the Pentecost reunion……………………………………….. Moses Moses saw it in the form of the burning bush. During the exodus the Israelites lost faith and were smitten by fiery serpents so God told Moses “make thee a serpent, and set it upon a pole: and it shall come to pass, that everyone that is bitten, when he looketh upon it, shall live. And Moses made a serpent of brass, and put it on a pole, and it came to pass, that if a fiery serpent had bitten any man, when he beheld the serpent of brass, he lived” An apt description of the healing quailities of the awakened Kundalini. Some of the Israelites even began to worship this symbol, and the practice of worshipping the brazen serpent on the pole as a god was either passed on, or was revived later. Bronze and stone serpent artifacts have been found in excavations in Canaan, Gezer and other parts of Israel!……………………………… Jesus The Old Testament symbol becomes significant in christianity when Christ suggests Kundalini awakening, not just for the tribe of Israel but as the true destiny of all Christians: “And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even as the son of man be lifted up: That whosoever believeth in him should not perish but have eternal life” ……………………………………………………… He says unequivocally in the Gnostic Gospel of Thomas and elsewhere, that ‘The Holy Spirit is My Mother’. ‘The Kingdom of God is within you’ (Luke 17:21)…………………………………………………………. The above is from this excellent site…do visit it and learn to awaken YOUR snake. http://www.sol.com.au/kor/14_02.htm My contributions are the two watercolours. The top one can either be seen as two lovers or the male and female aspects of one soul seeking to ‘UNITE’ again after ‘going out’ and slowly becoming ‘individualised’ over many incarnations on earth. Both as male and female, black and white and all shades between! LOOK CAREFULLY YOU WILL SEE THEIR SOULS FLOATING. They are almost ready to be ‘resurrected’ as the Bible/churches try to imply the Christ figure was from the tomb. THE TOMB is the SACRUM BONE where the kundalini snake sleeps until you are ‘prepared’ with courage to be ‘resurrected.’ THE BIBLE IS ALL ABOUT THE PHYSIOLOGY OF OUR BODIES. Watercolour 2 was exhibited at The Royal West of England Academy in 1972. It shows three aspects of the kundalini.
