# Giving Rise

Giving Rise
|
||
To the Kundalini that lies dormant inside

|

<span class="sidenote">Kundalini refers to the Hindu concept of spiritual energy coiled at the base of the spine, waiting to be awakened through yogic practice. The invocation of Eastern spiritual concepts reflects the broader Western adoption of contemplative practices, particularly among technologists seeking balance between analytical and intuitive modes of consciousness.</span>
|
||
As I set to mesmerize
|
||
The hypnotic sensations
|
||
Of stories untold
|
||
And fabrics
|
||
Untracked
|
||
|
||
This poetry
|
||
Inside of me
|
||
Looking to be set ablaze
|
||
To be read on lesser fine days
|
||
That’s a weird thing i did there
|
||
I’m going to write like this now
|
||
See how you like that

|
||
<span class="sidenote">This meta-textual break demonstrates the postmodern technique of breaking the fourth wall, acknowledging the constructed nature of the poem. The shift to casual, unfiltered expression mirrors the psychological concept of letting go of superego constraints to access more authentic creative expression.</span>
|
||
Now that no one is noticed
|
||
The stains beneath your curtain
|
||
Whatever that means
|
||
|
||
Just write your thoughts down
|
||
See where they lead

The psychoanalyst

Said to me

<input type="checkbox" id="sn-therapeutic-parallel" class="margin-toggle"/>
|
||
<span class="sidenote">The poem shifts from spiritual imagery to therapeutic process, suggesting that both kundalini awakening and psychoanalysis involve bringing unconscious material to light. The casual, stream-of-consciousness style mirrors the free association technique used in therapy, where spontaneous thoughts reveal deeper psychological patterns.</span>
