I was contemplating the difference between the White Flame of Ascension, which is sometimes called the Mother Flame at the base of the spine chakra and Kundalini Fire, so I decided to write and put it down into an inspired writing to receive answers. On the journey of ascension, we are always learning and growing. Understanding and ideas can change and all of that is ok, in fact it is perfect. We never know it all and we also understand in different ways as we grow.
So, let's see what unfolds as I write....
Both flames represent different stages of spiritual energy depending on the spiritual system you work with, so I want to discuss the similarities with the two and see where they meet.
The Mother Flame
The White Flame of Ascension (Mother Flame) is associated with the energy of spiritual purification and enlightenment. It's symbolised by a brilliant, radiant white light that can bring about deep healing, transformation and spiritual growth. It's called the Mother Flame because of its nurturing and protective qualities. It's believed to be a divine feminine energy, embodying the aspect of cosmic motherhood or the nurturing force of the universe that helps guide souls toward ascension.
The Mother Flame is located at the base of the spine chakra (Base chakra, Root Chakra, Muladhara), and is a dormant spiritual energy that can awaken and rise up through the body, bringing light, purification, and the potential for spiritual transformation.
Kundalini Fire
Kundalini is a dormant spiritual energy that lies coiled at the base of the spine and is usually symbolised as a serpent. When kundalini is awakened, the energy rises through the chakras, bringing profound shifts in consciousness and often leads to spiritual awakening, heightened awareness, and enlightenment.
Kundalini energy is fiery in nature because of the intense transformative effect it has on the individual. Kundalini awakening often involves both physical and spiritual experiences and is sometimes recognised by sensations of heat, intense energy movement, emotional purging, and possibly mystical experiences.
Kundalini fire specifically refers to the intensity of the energy that is released when this dormant energy awakens and is often symbolised as an inner fire that burns away blockages and negative energies, clearing the way for ascension and higher consciousness.
Comparing Kundalini Fire and the Mother Flame
Both the White flame of Ascension (Mother Flame) and Kundalini Fire are located at the base of the spine in the Base Chakra. However, the Mother Flame is often viewed as a more nurturing, supportive energy, while kundalini fire is often seen as more intense and potentially transformative in a more direct way.
The Mother Flame (White Flame of Ascension) is often a more gentle, gradual spiritual awakening, while Kundalini Fire can be a more powerful and sometimes overwhelming experience, often described as a spiritual "awakening" that triggers a rapid and intense shift in the individual's spiritual consciousness.
The White Flame of Ascension could be described as a healing light that purifies and aligns your energy, while Kundalini Fire is more of a dynamic, forceful energy that awakens your full spiritual potential. So, the White Flame, or the Mother Flame is considered an aspect of ascension, and the Kundalini Fire is an energetic catalyst for deep transformation.
The White Flame is often linked to elevated spiritual growth through esoteric teachings and the New Age, suggesting purification and illumination. Kundalini energy is deeply embedded in yogic and Hindu traditions as the supreme force driving spiritual growth, leading to self-realisation and oneness with the Divine.
Are they the Same Thing?
While they are most definitely linked in the sense that both energies are spiritual forces residing at the base of the spine and can trigger powerful spiritual shifts, they are not necessarily understood to be the same.
The White Flame of Ascension is thought to be a gentler, high-vibrational energy that nurtures the process of spiritual growth and ascension, often providing the foundation for a more expansive spiritual journey. While Kundalini Fire is a more primal, transformative energy that can be a catalyst for spiritual awakening and self-realisation, sometimes through intense physical and emotional processes.
Some spiritual traditions suggest that these energies can be considered two aspects of the same underlying force, with the Mother Flame acting as a preparatory energy that helps the ascension candidate safely awaken and integrate the more intense energy of Kundalini. That's why the White Flame can be considered a protective, cleansing force that supports the gradual awakening of the Kundalini energy.
So, while the Mother Flame (White Flame of Ascension) and Kundalini Fire both relate to spiritual awakening and transformation, they are distinctly different energies with different qualities. However, they are complimentary forces, with the White Flame serving as a precursor or supporting energy to the intense and transformative awakening of the Kundalini Fire. Both energies are powerful energies that can lead to profound spiritual growth and ascension when understood and work with properly.
Imagine that one is more physical, and one is etheric, just like Luxor Temple is the physical temple and over it is the etheric temple or divine counterpart.
Masculine and Feminine
I was contemplating the different energies and considered the symbolism of the white flame
of ascension and kundalini fire aligning well with feminine and masculine energies. The white, soft, upward-flowing ascension flame is more feminine, nurturing, and has a more transcendent essence. The kundalini fire, however, is often shown as an intense, coiled, and dynamic energy, reflecting a more masculine, primal, and activating force. They seem to be complimentary of each other representing the dual aspects of creation and transformation.
Divine Masculine and Divine Feminine
I thought some more, and it feels right that they are expressions of the divine masculine and divine feminine energies.
Divine feminine as the White Flame of Ascension or the Mother Flame's qualities align perfectly with the Divine Feminine. It embodies receptivity, intuition, inner peace, and nurturing qualities. It holds a spiritual essence that is more about presence and unconditional love, resonating with the qualities of compassion and a deep, non-dualistic awareness.
The Divine masculine or the Kundalini Fire, with its coiled serpent-like energy, resonates with the Divine Masculine. It channels action, strength, creation, and focused transformation. Its qualities are a more active, dynamic force pushing forward into new territories of consciousness. The energy is vibrant and fiery and full of courage and willpower to face and transcend obstacles.
Androgynous Flames
So, while they are neither masculine nor feminine, at the level of the divine, neither are we. We become androgynous and so would these flames be androgynous. Each flame embodies a specific quality, the divine masculine learning toward action, intensity, and transformation, and the divine feminine learning toward receptivity, purity, and enlightenment. But at their essence, they are not limited to these expressions. These flames, like the energies they represent, transcend gender and embody a wholeness that includes both qualities.
The White Flame of ascension is androgynous, representing an expansive, universal force of pure consciousness and unity, with an emphasis on qualities we would normally label as feminine. The Kundalini fire is also androgynous, encompassing the primal, creative force of life and transformation, emphasising qualities typically labeled as masculine. Together, they represent a dynamic balance as androgynous flames that each hold the potential for both masculine and feminine expressions. If we can embrace understanding, we can see that these flames are not bound to any single mode of being, because they are fluid, adaptable, and complete within themselves, much like our own inner energies.
When we think about these energies side by side in this way, we can see their uniqueness and yet their complementary aspects. Together, they create a balanced wholeness, uniting stillness with movement, intuition with action, and receptivity with creation. They are two sides of the same cosmic force, each necessary to sustain and complete the other.
Which Flame would we Awaken through?
I imagine that it would be very possible and most likely very common, that we awaken through the complementary energy to the one we naturally embody or feel most comfortable with. The process of spiritual growth involves integrating both Divine Masculine and Divine Feminine energies, with many people finding that their spiritual growth and awakening come through engaging with the "opposite" or complementary energy.
Those with a strong divine feminine essence (intuitive, receptive) may find themselves awakening through the Divine Masculine or kundalini fire. For them, awakening may involve embodying qualities like discipline, structure, and focused action. These energies would be those that drive their inner wisdom into tangible expressions. This integration could help them set clear boundaries, make confident decisions, and channel their intuition to make an impact in the world.
Those with a strong Divine Masculine Essence (driven, action-oriented people) or those who resonate more with Divine Masculine energy might awaken through the Divine Feminine. They may find their growth in learning to soften, be present, surrender control, and trust in their intuition. By embracing receptivity, they could open to deep self-awareness, emotional authenticity, and spiritual insight, balancing their active energy with moments of stillness and connection to the unseen.
Why the Opposite Energy Often Sparks Awakening
The complementary energy tends to challenge our existing identity and comfort zone, pushing us to confront aspects of ourselves that we may have neglected or resisted. This balance creates a sense of wholeness within oneself. We become a unified being that embodies both action and stillness, logic and intuition, strength and compassion.
By contemplating that awakening may often happen through integrating the opposite energy, because it encourages us to expand into a more complete version of ourselves, I learned something new about LUXOR Light Ascension. LUXOR Light is a powerful force and certainly awakens the kundalini. I awakened through a powerful spontaneous kundalini fire experience and the divine showed me how to bring this energy to humanity through the system we call LUXOR Light Ascension where we build our personal pyramid. Sometimes, I would have feedback from the occasional person, that they could not take the power of the energy. They would say it was too forceful, and they preferred a gentler energy to work with. When I thought about the people who made that comment, I see they may hold more masculine energy and so I can understand why it may be too much for them. As the feminine rises it only makes sense that we were given a system to awaken the divine feminine so she can rise to her full potential. Remember we are not talking gender; we are talking energy, and it doesn't matter if you are male or female. I also noticed that it is the "harmless" that awaken through this powerful frequency and those with a more masculine energy require a softer more nurturing way to rise, because the masculine have travelled a long hard journey and need the nurturing energy of the Mother Flame.
The answers are always coming, as we open to learn through our experience and through allowing the divine to show us when the time is right. It is giving me many aha moments as I write and contemplate the qualities of the complimentary flames and how they awaken us. I knew that I work with Serapis Bey and the Ascension Temple of Luxor, but I also knew that the awakening flame of LUXOR Light is the same but different to the White Flame of purity on the throne of ascension. That is bringing me more questions, to which I will continue to write about as I am receiving insights.....
Luxor Temple and the White Flame of Purity
The white flame of ascension resides above the Luxor Temple, where it represents purity, enlightenment, and spiritual awakening. Luxor has long been linked to ascension teachings and mysteries and is seen as a sacred place for accessing higher consciousness. The kundalini fire, however, resides within us, coiled at the base of the spine, in the base chakra, awaiting awakening and ascent. This energy is tied to the physical plane and the body, and it ascends through the chakras during spiritual practices to unify with the Divine Consciousness above.
The kundalini fire could also be connected to Luxor Temple in the physical, as well, especially if we think of the temple as a place where both these energies meet and harmonise. Luxor Temple can be seen as a spiritual conduit or sacred point, like a portal on Earth that holds the white flame of ascension. The White flame or the Mother Flame is the divine feminine and is to do with ascension. It is a celestial energy of purity and enlightenment to encourage us upward in consciousness. Then we have the kundalini fire, which could be seen as divine masculine and to do with transformation. It is more of an earthly, primal energy representing life force, transformation, and dynamic growth, rising from within to merge with higher consciousness.
Using this symbolic idea, the Luxor Temple is seen as a meeting place for the merging of androgynous energies, acting as a conduit between the spiritual and the terrestrial, or between the divine essence and physical being. This union of energies at Luxor Temple mirrors the path of spiritual ascension, where individual kundalini energy rises to meet the higher realms of consciousness, creating a divine balance.
For individuals on a spiritual path, the union of the kundalini fire with the white flame of ascension can certainly lead to a deep spiritual awakening. The process can involve stages of spiritual preparation, cleansing, and strengthening, enabling individuals to harmonise with these powerful energies.
When Kundalini Fire Awakens and Merges with the White Flame
When the kundalini energy that resides at the base of the spine, rises through the chakras and meets the white flame of ascension transformation takes place. This union of Divine Masculine, which is a grounded energy, and Divine Feminine, which is more of a spiritual energy, will lead to a heightened consciousness, and inner balance and harmony.
Preparation for Kundalini Awakening
Not everyone awakens through the intense, fiery surge of kundalini energy. For some, awakening occurs gradually through gentler, more subtle methods, such as meditation, self-inquiry, or devotion. These practices can be seen as preparation, allowing the body and mind to adjust to higher energies over time without the intense effects of a sudden kundalini awakening.
Through gradual practices, we create a stable foundation for the emotional, mental, and physical bodies, that can withstand the intensity of kundalini energy if or when it rises fully.
Gradual awakening helps clear emotional and energetic blockages that could interfere with kundalini flow, making the body more prepared to channel this energy safely and healthily. For some people, higher consciousness unfolds in steps, allowing them to integrate each new level of awareness before moving further. This process can be less disruptive than a rapid kundalini awakening and is often described as “ascending through the white flame.” This is the purpose of LUXOR Light Ascension. It provides a pathway, building your own spiritual pyramid of consciousness, helping you to awaken the Kundalini and once you reach the capstone you meet and merge with the White Flame of purity that resides over the Luxor Temple.
For Those Not Awakening Through Kundalini Fire
Not all paths involve a dramatic kundalini experience. Some people experience what could be called a white flame of ascension awakening, which is a gentler journey into enlightenment and awareness without the intense physical and energetic symptoms that often come with kundalini. This process may draw more on Divine Feminine energy, emphasising a gradual journey, unconditional love, and a deepening connection to the higher self rather than the intense transformation of the physical and subtle bodies.
Both Paths Leading to the Same Source
Whether through the kundalini fire or the white flame, both paths ultimately lead to union with higher consciousness. Some may experience a preparation phase to align the body and spirit with these energies, while others gradually ascend through devotion, service, or meditation.
So, while kundalini awakening can be powerful, it is not the only path. For some, gradual preparation, grounding, and alignment with the higher energies allow a balanced, harmonious awakening in which the person feels ready to handle the intensity if or when it arises. Both paths offer transformative growth, leading to the same ultimate awakening of the union of the Divine Masculine and Divine Feminine, the Earth and the Heavens, within us.
I've witnessed this over the last 20 years with those who work with the LUXOR Light Ascension program. Some, awaken the kundalini very quickly, and are ready to work with the energy straight away, or are thrown into a deep purification process and take time to learn how to stablise and integrate the energies as the go. This path is like being struck by lightning or like being plugged into an electrical power socket, where the soul is propelled into direct contact with the divine. This is what happened to me.
Others awaken through a gentler path as their energy field is prepared through the journey of building the personal pyramid, stone by stone, or layer by layer until they reach the capstone of consciousness where the white flame of purity then descends into the physical and purifies the bodies. On this path, each level represents personal growth, healing, and mastery, creating a stable foundation. As they reach the symbolic “capstone of consciousness,” their energy field is then ready to receive the white flame of purity. The white flame then descends into the physical, purifying and illuminating the layers of energy field. This purification unfolds in harmony with the body and spirit, gently lifting them to higher states of consciousness.
Building the personal pyramid as done with the LUXOR Light Ascension program, suggests a steady ascent. Each level within the program symbolises a stone in the pyramid and initiates inner work, self-discovery, and grounding, creating a strong and powerful structure for enlightenment. By the time you reach the “capstone,” you are prepared to receive the full intensity of Divine consciousness, embodied as the white flame. If you are someone who awakens quickly through the Kundalini fire, the LUXOR Light Ascension Program gives you the tools to integrate the energies and smooth the road of accelerated ascension.
Both paths - the quick kundalini activation and the gradual ascension, lead to the same destination, though their journeys differ. Those who awaken gently align and stabilise as they go, preparing their energy field, while others may face the direct purifying force of kundalini energy early on, leading them into accelerated transformation and integration. Both paths are unique, and both bring the ultimate merging of spirit and body, the divine masculine and the divine feminine into union embodying a higher consciousness and purity, at the pinnacle of their personal evolution and spiritual ascension.
