Vajrayogini sure doesn't look Jewish!

Kundalini and Kundalini Shakti are Sanskrit terms for the primordial life-force or universal energy as it functions in the human body-mind. The closest Western term would be Holy Spirit. The arousal and release of this latent power in the course of meditation or devotional prayer, etc., is what Western mystics call “spiritual baptism.” 

This spontaneously occurred in my case in 1993 when I was 41. For the next eight months the Kundalini took me on a tour of the subtler dimensions of the whole  body-mind. Entirely unbidden (and for the first time in my  22-year meditation practice), I began having visions. 

An oft-recurring vision was of the hexangular “Star of David” of Judaism, which is also a common symbol in Hindu and Buddhist Tantra. For example, the above yantra (sacred diagram) represents the Tantric Goddess, Vajrayogini.

I understood bodily that this archetype expresses the harmonized fullness of the ascending and descending currents of the life-force (kundalini shakti).
