"Kundalini and the Art of Being" is the soulful memoir of a young man's profound experience of unanticipated kundalini awakening. It details both the events leading up to his life-changing spiritual experience, and how he learned to cope with its bewildering and multi-dimensional aftereffects. Part spiritual adventure story, part wandering travelogue, Morris relates both his inner and outer struggles and adventures as he criss-crosses the western United States traveling to Rainbow Gatherings and music festivals, backpacking alone in the wilderness and visiting assorted communal settings. Unknowingly, he follows the path of Chris McCandless, subject of the book Into the Wild. He hitchhikes the same stretch of highway through northern Canada and interior Alaska taken by McCandless, just a few months earlier, though to a different fate. Documenting the challenges faced by many young people in today's world, this book is both a gripping adventure tale, and a wise and genuine account of one such person's process of spiritual awakening and discovery.

Below is an excerpt from the book.

In the fall of 1994, I was twenty-two and leading a relatively stable life in rainy western Oregon, when I rather impulsively quit my job, sold my old Datsun pickup, moved out of my house and hit the road with just my backpack on my back, thumb leading the way. I had only a vague notion of where I was going and what I was getting myself into. I simply had an undeniable yearning for adventure and the unknown, which I chose to follow. I was the type who tended to act on these sorts of impulses. Little did I know the real adventure that I was embarking on this time.

Two months later—after hitchhiking partway across the country—I was staying with a friend in Texas with even less of an idea of what I was now doing in my vagabond existence than when I’d started my impulsive journey. It was nearing winter, I was almost broke, a long ways from home and the living arrangement with my friend was less than ideal. And then, in the midst of meditation one evening, something subtle yet powerful shifted within my mind that changed my world forever. A sudden rush of energy flooded through me like nothing I’d ever before experienced or could have even imagined. I had no understanding then of what had occurred within my fragile consciousness. All I knew was that, in no more time than it takes for a bolt of lightning to strike, my experience and perception of reality had been utterly and
irrevocably altered.

What happened to me in that pivotal moment actually had a name, although I didn’t know it at the time—kundalini awakening. I wish I could have known then that I wasn’t suddenly going crazy, but had actually experienced a spiritual breakthrough. At the time, however, I found myself cast abruptly into a psychological and physical hell from which I found only temporary relief. I seemed to have, for no apparent reason, turned spontaneously schizophrenic. My spiritual quest of the past few years had inexplicably taken a painful and challenging turn, to say the least. The torment I experienced following my unanticipated Kundalini rising was so profound as to make me wonder if it was even worth enduring, just to live through another torturous day.

But fortunately, as surely as I’d fallen down a canyon of darkness within my soul, I managed to climb my way back out of it as well—to live to tell the tale, as they say. As those frightening first few days turned to weeks and then months, I began to see a glimmer of light shine from within myself, that eventually proved to guide me back to something resembling sanity.

Following is the story of how I found myself in such a strange predicament—like many seekers these days, stumbling rather blindly down the spiritual path—as well as how I managed to get myself out of it. Although I certainly didn’t feel it initially, the awakening of the Kundalini energy is in actuality a great blessing. This I’ve discovered over the years, learning over time how to incorporate it into my daily life. Kundalini has the power to invigorate and evolve our spiritual beings like nothing else can, if we can just figure out how to handle it.

I’m not a qualified expert on this subject—just someone with a story to tell and a perspective to offer. My hope is that sharing my own experience will prove helpful to anyone struggling with this phenomenon, as well as satisfy the curiosity of those interested in Kundalini; who may decide instead that they want nothing at all to do with its potent force, or else perhaps be inspired to seek it out within themselves, and in so doing journey to the heart of the unknown.
