    Dear Dasha,

    Welcome to BardonPraxis. :)

    >> Could anybody help me to understand the connections between
    the "serpent power" and the "power of imagination" and the way this
    power is used in Bardon's system of initiation? <<

    I've posted a short answer on my website at
    http://www.ABardonCompanion.com/Chakras.html but for a longer answer, I
    offer a message from the FranzBardonMagi which I've appended below.

    My best to you,

    Dear Andrew,

    >> Does Bardon's system raise the Kundalini in the initiate and if so at
    what stage. <<

    It's not a matter of raising the Kundalini. It's a matter of the
    kundalini rising *of its own accord* as a natural consequence of the
    initiate's mago-mystical advancement. When initiation is *balanced*, the
    chakras unfold and the knundalini rises without any ill effects. This is
    because in a balanced *Hermetic* initiation, the kundalini and the
    chakra system are not forced. In fact, they are not focused upon at all.

    The chakras are reflective of the initiate's inner state of maturity.
    They flower *of their own accord* when the initiate reaches the stage of
    maturity to which they correspond. The kundalini force *of its own
    accord* naturally rises to fill the flowering chakra. When this
    *natural* process is left to its own wisdom, instead of being interfered
    with and forced before its time, there are no ill effects. Instead, it
    is empowering and immediately carries the initiate forward.

    Ill effects on the other hand, are experienced *because* the individual
    has not reached the stage of maturity which *naturally* unfolds the
    chakras and the kundalini. In such a case, the kundalini meets
    resistance in the form of "impurities" (i.e., a lack of maturity) and,
    as is its nature when faced with this sort of resistance, the kundalini
    burns away at the impurities and at the surrounding area in the
    individual's emotional energy structure. From an Hermetic perspective
    this is ultimately destructive because, even if the *energetic
    manifestation* of those blocking impurities are effectively burned
    away, the level of maturity remains relatively unchanged and those
    *energetic* impurities inevitably re-manifest.

    There are very complex eastern methods by which one can safely work
    *with* the kundalini, but, contrary to what most westerners surmise,
    they involve intensive focus upon one's level of maturity and its
    growth. In other words, these methods involve a great deal more than
    just trying to move the kundalini. Really, they are about using the
    kundalini (very carefully and precisely) to encourage one's
    maturation -- the goal being *maturation* and not the mere
    movement of the kundalini.

    Bardon's system sidesteps all of these issues by focusing upon
    developing the initiate's mago-mystical maturity directly. In Bardon's
    system, the kundalini is left in nature's hands and its rate of rising
    is left to nature's wisdom based upon the initiate's own rate of
    maturation.

    When someone is suffering the discomforting consequences of having
    forced their chakras open and their kundalini to rise unnaturally, the
    remedy is to focus upon the work of character transformation. Only in
    this way is the individual's level of maturity raised to par with their
    unnaturally elevated or active kundalini.

    My best to you,
    :) Rawn Clark
