The Kundalini Serpent and the Christos Within: What Early Christianity Actually Taught About the Sacred Fire Rising Through You
Few topics in the entire landscape of spiritual inquiry carry more misunderstanding, more institutional fear, and more suppressed historical significance than the Kundalini awakening. In the first of a two-episode series on the Kundalini serpent, host Alex of TheAlexShow.TV opens a conversation that connects ancient Eastern wisdom, suppressed early Christian teaching, and the universal human experience of a divine fire waiting to be ignited from within. This is not a fringe topic. This is one of the most important and most deliberately buried threads in the history of human spiritual knowledge — and this episode begins to pull on it.
Alex opens with characteristic transparency about what he expects from some quarters of his audience: pushback from those who have been taught that the Kundalini serpent is satanic, demonic, or otherwise dangerous — an evil thing to be avoided rather than a natural and beautiful process to be understood and, when the time is right, experienced. He does not dismiss those concerns. He addresses them directly. And then he presents an alternative account of what the Kundalini actually is — one rooted not in New Age appropriation but in the earliest surviving records of the Christian mystical tradition itself.
What Alex Believes the Kundalini Actually Is
Before the support video, Alex offers his own working understanding of the Kundalini awakening — one that is simple, non-theatrical, and grounded in the framework of the physical body and the spiritual architecture he has been exploring across years of episodes. In his understanding, the Kundalini moment is the activation of all seven chakras — the energy centers that run along the spine from the base (the root chakra) to the crown — simultaneously and fully. It is the moment when the body resonates completely with the spirit. When the physical vehicle and the divine consciousness that inhabits it stop operating on different frequencies and finally, briefly, or permanently align.
He has heard firsthand accounts of this experience from several members of his community, but the one he finds most compelling — the one he believes would offer the most illuminating first-person account of the Kundalini awakening for his audience — is that of Chris Harrison, a returning guest of TheAlexShow.TV who has appeared on the show to discuss the Law of One and the Ra material. Alex has plans to send this two-episode series to Chris and invite him back for a third conversation specifically about his Kundalini experience — a prospect Alex describes with genuine anticipation as one that could be profoundly illuminating for anyone trying to understand what this awakening actually feels like from the inside.

The Scholar’s Discovery: When the Christos Was Recognized as an Internal Serpent Power
The support video Alex shares in this episode is, by his assessment, one of the best he has found for any episode in the series — and having watched it, it is easy to understand why. It begins with a striking scenario: in the winter of 1952, a Coptic scholar working at the British Museum, while translating fragments of ancient manuscript that had survived the systematic burning of heretical texts, found a passage describing Jesus teaching his disciples about a sacred fire that rises through the body like a serpent ascending a tree.
The scholar, a devout Catholic, initially dismissed what he found. Corrupted text, he assumed — perhaps influenced by pagan mystery religions from neighboring traditions. But as he continued his research across dozens of surviving fragments from various early Christian communities scattered across Egypt, Syria, and Asia Minor, he found the same teaching repeated with remarkable consistency. A divine serpent power. An inner fire. A force that the earliest followers of Jesus called the Christos within.
This was not metaphorical language. The ancient texts described specific practices — physiological sensations, stages of spiritual transformation, energy centers along the spine, a coiled power at the base of the body, a crown opening that granted direct communion with what they called the Father. The scholar spent three years cross-referencing these descriptions with mystical texts from other traditions. What he found left him professionally paralyzed: the early Christian texts were describing the exact same system that yogis in India called Kundalini awakening. The same anatomy. The same process. The same divine fire rising through the same pathway.
He never published his findings. The implications were too dangerous.
The Implication He Could Not Publish: 2,000 Years Built on a Fundamental Suppression
The support video is unflinching about what the scholar’s unpublished discovery would have meant — and what it still means for anyone willing to follow the thread to its conclusion. If the earliest Christians — the communities that actually walked with Jesus and received his direct teachings — understood the Christos as an internal serpent power that any human being could awaken, then two thousand years of institutional Christianity had been built on a fundamental inversion of the original message.
The church taught humanity to seek salvation externally: through ritual, through priesthood, through obedience to religious authority, through correct belief in approved doctrines. But the original teaching was about an internal biological-spiritual process that made every human being their own temple, their own priest, their own direct connection to God. The intermediary — the institution, the doctrine, the external authority — was not part of the original transmission. It was added later, by those who had a specific interest in managing the terms of human spiritual access.
The serpent, in this reading, was never the enemy. The serpent was the savior — rising within the body of every sincere practitioner, accessible not through submission to an external power but through specific practices: fasting, breath control, meditation, and what the early Gnostic Christian communities called sacred union practices. When what the texts called the Christo serpent reached the crown of the head, it triggered what they described as the resurrection — not a future event to be hoped for after physical death, but an immediate, lived transformation of consciousness while still fully embodied.
The First Three Centuries: Christianity Was Not Uniform
The support video situates all of this in a historical context that mainstream church history has systematically obscured. For the first three centuries after Jesus walked the earth, Christianity was not a unified religion with a single creed and a centralized authority. It was a diverse ecosystem of communities, each preserving different aspects of the teachings they had received — and many of those communities, particularly those in Egypt, Syria, and Asia Minor, maintained practices that looked very different from what would eventually become Roman Catholicism.
These groups — later labeled Gnostics by their enemies, a label designed to marginalize rather than describe — emphasized direct spiritual experience over blind faith. They taught that salvation came not from believing the right doctrines but from gnosis: direct, experiential knowledge of the divine. And at the heart of their practice was a specific teaching about the Christos — a word that modern Christianity translates simply as the anointed one or Messiah, but which in the earliest Greek manuscripts carried a deeper and more precisely physiological meaning. Christos referred to a specific spiritual substance: an internal secretion, a sacred fluid that the body produces when certain practices activate dormant spiritual anatomy.
This Gnostic Christian understanding of the Christos as an internal process rather than an external savior figure was exactly what the emerging orthodox institution found most threatening — because it made every individual their own access point to the divine. It made the church unnecessary. And so it was systematically branded as heresy, its texts burned, its communities dispersed, and its teaching buried under centuries of institutional Christianity that told humanity the only path to God ran through the church.
Christos as Light: Alex’s Personal Understanding
After the support video, Alex reflects on what the concept of the Christos within means to him personally — and it connects to something someone told him years ago that has never left him: Christos means light. That simple identification opened something for Alex. The idea of Christic energy arriving from the universe in the form of light — the kind of light that connects to the sun and to the creative source of everything — resonates with him more deeply than any theological formulation.
His personal understanding of the Kundalini awakening, refined through years of reflection, is that it is the moment when the divine spark — the light that is always present but usually operating in the background — fully ignites within the physical body. It is not a supernatural intervention from outside. It is the culmination of an alignment process: the body finally vibrating at the frequency of the spirit, the physical vehicle and the eternal consciousness it carries resonating together instead of operating separately. The fire inside you finding its full expression in the flesh that houses it.
He is honest that he has not had this experience himself — at least not in the full, dramatic form that Chris Harrison and others have described. He does not claim it. He approaches it with the same curiosity and openness he brings to everything at TheAlexShow.TV. But he is certain, from everything he has explored and everyone he has spoken with, that the experience is real, that it is available to every human being, and that it represents something genuinely beautiful — a moment of integration between the physical and the spiritual that most people in modern life are never taught to seek, let alone achieve.
Alex’s Personal Story: The Priest Who Was Concerned About His Soul
One of the most vivid and humanly resonant moments in this episode is when Alex shares a personal story from about fifteen years ago — one that encapsulates the specific dynamic at the heart of the Kundalini’s cultural suppression. At a high school reunion, he found himself in conversation about the ideas he was already developing at the time: the power within, the direct connection to creation, the fact that no external institution is required to access the divine.
A Catholic priest was present at the reunion — not a school connection, but a friend of the host who happened to be the pastor of a church located very close to Alex’s house. The priest listened to fragments of what Alex had to say, and the concern on his face was visible. A few weeks later, Alex received an invitation to come to the church for a private conversation. The priest wanted to speak with him — because he was worried about Alex’s soul. Evil spirits, he told Alex when they met, were working through him. The evidence? Alex was saying he had a direct connection to the creator and did not need the church as an intermediary.
Alex reflects on this with warmth and without bitterness: the priest was well-intentioned. He genuinely believed he was trying to help. But the conversation that followed crystallized something important. When Alex said, in effect, yes — I have Christ, the Christos within — not as an external figure to worship but as a light inside me that belongs to everyone, the priest’s response was to insist that Alex needed to be saved. That he needed Christ in his life.
And Alex’s response, expressed with the gentle firmness that characterizes his best moments, was: I have it. Not as a faith claim. As something he knows. A direct connection to the creator that does not require a building, a doctrine, or an intermediary to be real. When the argument reached its natural impasse, Alex offered the priest a graceful exit: if you are right and I am wrong, the one who is doomed is me. So do not worry about it.
Why the Chakras Are Not Evil: The USB Port Analogy
Alex addresses directly — and with characteristic humor — another objection that circulates in certain religious communities: the claim that the chakras themselves are dangerous, that they function as entry points for evil energies, that opening them is equivalent to giving malevolent forces access to your body and soul. He compares this to claiming that having USB ports on a computer is evil because something harmful could theoretically be plugged into them.
The chakras, in his understanding, are not vulnerability points — they are activation points. They are how the physical body connects energetically to the higher dimensions of experience. They are the mechanism through which the Kundalini fire travels — the pathway that links the base of the body to the crown, that allows the divine spark to move from dormancy to full expression. The fact that they can theoretically be misused or exploited — as any human capacity can — does not make them evil any more than sight is evil because it can be used to witness harm.
He is equally clear that you do not need external substances, psychedelics, or ceremonial aids to reach a Kundalini awakening or to work meaningfully with the chakras. He is direct about this: the greatest spiritual openings available to a human being do not require anything that can be purchased or consumed. They require inner work, honest self-examination, and the patient alignment of body, soul, and spirit that has been the foundation of every genuine mystical tradition across every culture on Earth.
Discovering Your True Self: The Fire Was Always There
As always at TheAlexShow.TV, Alex closes with the invitation that anchors everything in the series: the call to discover who you actually are, beneath the layers of conditioning, institutional programming, and inherited spiritual frameworks that have been placed over the direct experience of the divine within.
The Kundalini, the Christos within, the divine fire — these are not exotic concepts available only to yogis, ancient Gnostics, or the spiritually gifted. They are descriptions of something that every human being carries inside them. The spark is there. It has always been there. It was there before the church, before the doctrine, before anyone told you that the sacred was somewhere outside you and that you needed an institution’s permission to approach it. The Christos within is not a metaphor. It is not a promise of something you can earn through correct behavior. It is a description of your actual nature — the light that the source placed in you before any of this began.
You are not what you have been taught to believe. You are an incredible being without limits, carrying eternal life, infinite wisdom, genuine strength, and a heart whose capacity for love requires no intermediary to express. Every limit you experience — including the limit of believing the divine is outside you — is self-imposed. Five minutes a day, directed inward. Who am I? Where do I come from? What is my purpose? The fire responds to the question. It always has. And when the alignment deepens — when body, soul, and spirit finally begin to vibrate together — what the earliest followers of Jesus called the Christos within becomes not a teaching, but a lived reality.
