"One very common effect of
rousing it [kundalini] prematurely is that it rushes downwards in the body
instead of upwards, and thus excites the most undesirable passions--excites them
and then intensifies their effects to such a degree that it becomes impossible
for the man to resist them....he is as helpless as a swimmer before the jaws of
a shark. Such men become satyrs, monsters of depravity....in the grasp of a force
which is out of all proportion to the ordinary human power of resistance. They may
probably gain certain supernatural powers, but these will be such as will bring them
into touch with a lower order of evolution with which humanity is intended to hold no
commerce, and to escape from its awful thraldom may take them more than one incarnation."

--C.W. Leadbeater, The Chakras
