What are the dangers of Kundalini awakening and why should one awaken it?
Synthesized from Source
outcome
"Choose danger; for in the dissolution of the old self lies the birth of boundless consciousness and the divine."
According to Osho, Kundalini’s danger is not physical but existential: awakening dissolves the old ‘you’—your identity, habits, and relationships—like coal becoming diamond or a river merging into the ocean. This total change frightens the ego, yet it is precisely why to awaken: only by risking this ‘great death’ does one attain real life, boundless consciousness, and the divine. Choose danger; security is spiritual stagnation.
It’s scary because your old self fades, but that’s how you become vast and truly alive—like a river losing its name to become the ocean.
