Kundalini may also represent the Serpent in the Garden of Eden.

Prophesied in the 12th Chapter of the Book of Daniel.
And, according to Chapter 12:9 of the Book of Daniel, words such as these were to "remain secret and Sealed until the time of the End."

This is not in any way a helpful interpretation.
It means nothing in the context of the other symbols such as the "tree of the knowledge of good and evil', after partaking of which Adam and Eve first recognized they were naked. All symbols of consciousness.

Helpful or not, it is a snake which rises up and temps us to try to be God, knowing good, from evil ie: eating from the knowledge of the tree of good and evil, yes from which "self" awareness arises, except fallen from grace, since it represents a rebellion against the sovereignty and dominion of God who alone can safely be self aware in its entirety, and knowing good, from evil, since his position as a self aware being is the absolute objective reality.

And what of the very pertinent part of the rest of what was said in reference to the verse in Daniel Chapter 12 that you cherry picked to suit your purposes here...
"Many will be purified, made spotless and refined, but the wicked will continue to be wicked. None of the wicked will understand, but those who are wise will understand." Daniel Chapter 12: verse 10. (NIV)
What this means is that the wise will understand that the Doctrine of "resurrection" is a Doctrine of 'Rebirth' but the wicked will not understand this.

Well, of course. Didn't have the time to type the entire Prophecy.
What this means is that the wise will understand that the Doctrine of "resurrection" is a Doctrine of 'Rebirth' but the wicked will not understand this.

And the fact of the matter is that I was once in error myself, not having any direct and personal memories of previous lives. But then I received the Revelation and it finally made sense to me; including the reply of Jesus to the Sadducees.
But I could point out to you that there are tens of millions of people of the Eastern religions who believe that they will live more than one life; I could point out that there are any number of folk religions and tribal religions that have the same belief.
I could throw the Book of Isaiah and the Book of Daniel and the Gospel of Matthew and the Gospel of Luke at you as evidence for the Doctrine of 'Rebirth'. I could throw The Treatise on the Resurrection at you.
I could answer each and every one of your ten thousand objections to the Doctrine of 'Rebirth'.
I could describe to you memories of previous lives that I have had, and memories from previous lives that other people I know have received...
Now, is a person "wicked" because he or she does not know that the Doctrine of "resurrection" is a Doctrine of 'Rebirth'?
I certainly would not say that. And, even more importantly, the Revelation of John very specifically does NOT say that; focusing instead upon another aspect of the Teaching of Jesus. But, at the same time, it must be said that that is, in fact, one of the characteristics of the wicked: they do not understand the Truth about the "resurrection"; and they will NEVER understand that Truth.
Nor would I consider a person in any way "wicked" because they are incapable of observing that the 'movement' of self-reflection is the origin of both the duality and the "self"; although it is of critical significance to understand that.
