Giving Rise
To the Kundalini that lies dormant inside
Kundalini refers to the Hindu concept of spiritual energy coiled at the base of the spine, waiting to be awakened through yogic practice. The invocation of Eastern spiritual concepts reflects the broader Western adoption of contemplative practices, particularly among technologists seeking balance between analytical and intuitive modes of consciousness.
As I set to mesmerize
The hypnotic sensations
Of stories untold
And fabrics
Untracked
This poetry
Inside of me
Looking to be set ablaze
To be read on lesser fine days
That’s a weird thing i did there
I’m going to write like this now
See how you like that
Ain't so careful
This meta-textual break demonstrates the postmodern technique of breaking the fourth wall, acknowledging the constructed nature of the poem. The shift to casual, unfiltered expression mirrors the psychological concept of letting go of superego constraints to access more authentic creative expression.
Now that no one is noticed
The stains beneath your curtain
Whatever that means
Just write your thoughts down
See where they lead
The psychoanalyst
Said to me
The poem shifts from spiritual imagery to therapeutic process, suggesting that both kundalini awakening and psychoanalysis involve bringing unconscious material to light. The casual, stream-of-consciousness style mirrors the free association technique used in therapy, where spontaneous thoughts reveal deeper psychological patterns.
