Asking "what is qi?" is significantly different from "how long is a piece of string?"
"What is qi?" is like asking "what is string?"
I'm sure people who work with string have no problem defining it.
So your analogy is incorrect.
Go and have a chat and look at someone who has had Kundalini problems as a result of unsafe practise, happens all the time. Ask them what they think Qi is...
I've heard this mentioned before but never really heard any specifics. I've only really heard like "awakening the Kundalini improperly/before you are ready/etc. can make you go crazy," but it's vague, kind of like the vague "warnings" that accompany kung fu stuff, like "too much spear hand training damages the eye sight" or whatever. Vague without any legitimate reports of it ever happening.
The first time read about Kundalini was in Glenn Morris' "Pathnotes of an American Ninja Master" and while that book was very entertaining, it was so full of crazy/fantasy/supernatural stuff that I really don't know how much of it was true and how much of it was written to appeal to martial artists who want all that stuff to be true. Regardless, I really did enjoy that book.
