This question is directed to those with an education in psychology.
I’ve read two first-hand accounts of a “kundalini awakening” (Gopi Krishna, Genevieve Paulson) as well as a report from an acquaintance that had a similar experience. While I certainly don’t doubt the reality they each experienced, I wonder if the subconscious, rather than the awakening of a “fire serpent” or other mystical analogies, fulfills these desires? Is it possible to trigger the activation of certain glands, like the pineal, with intention alone?
Each of the events has 3 things in common:
1. All of the symptoms are strictly within the mind. Aside from increased heart rate, sweating, and the like associated with anxiety, no biological change has been recorded.
2. All 3 were strongly religious, indicating a disposition to believe in things on faith and a desire to experience the divine.
3. Every case I’ve read has shared similar traits to psychedelic trips induced by DMT, LSD, and mushrooms.

…..The brain is capable of many things…memory, imagination, perception, emotion, learning. instinctive reaction, intuitive association, reason, critical analysis, planning, organizing, language…
All of these things could be operating at the same time, and many is coordinated sequence to produce an experience, while meanwhile conscious attention is focused on only one process at a time.
In other words, YES. Any religious experience you’ve ever heard about can be explained as a mental experience, instead of some arcane, far-fetched phenomenon.
That doesn’t make the experiences false. They are REAL mental experiences, producing immense satisfaction. The people experiencing them can quite easily claim they are special religious or spiritual esperiences. That’s why they swear by them.
