1 00:00:03,031 --> 00:00:07,074 Prior to the dawn of Western civilization and written language 2 00:00:07,074 --> 00:00:13,094 science and spirituality were not two separate things. 3 00:00:13,094 --> 00:00:16,084 In the teachings of the great ancient traditions 4 00:00:16,084 --> 00:00:19,779 the outer search for knowledge and certainty was balanced 5 00:00:19,779 --> 00:00:21,869 by an inner feeling of impermanence 6 00:00:21,869 --> 00:00:27,119 and intuitive understanding of the spiral of change. 7 00:00:27,119 --> 00:00:31,049 As scientific thinking became more dominant and information multiplied, 8 00:00:31,049 --> 00:00:36,000 fragmentation began to occur within our knowledge systems. 9 00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:38,023 Increased specialization meant that fewer people 10 00:00:38,023 --> 00:00:40,095 were capable of seeing the big picture, 11 00:00:40,095 --> 00:00:45,043 of feeling and intuiting the aesthetic of the system as a whole. 12 00:00:45,043 --> 00:00:57,022 No one was asking, "is all this thinking good for us?" 13 00:00:57,022 --> 00:01:01,042 The ancient knowledge is here in our midst, hidden in plain view. 14 00:01:01,042 --> 00:01:06,085 But we are too preoccupied with our thoughts to recognize it. 15 00:01:06,085 --> 00:01:10,009 This forgotten wisdom is way to restore the balance 16 00:01:10,009 --> 00:01:14,539 between the inner and the outer. 17 00:01:14,539 --> 00:01:14,789 Yin and yang. 18 00:01:14,789 --> 00:01:52,159 Between the spiral of change and the stillness at our core. 19 00:01:52,159 --> 00:01:59,509 In Greek legend, Asclepius was the son of Apollo and the god of healing. 20 00:01:59,509 --> 00:02:02,909 His wisdom and skills for healing were unsurpassed 21 00:02:02,909 --> 00:02:10,049 and he is said to have discovered the secret to life and death itself. 22 00:02:10,049 --> 00:02:13,029 In ancient Greece the Asclepian healing temples 23 00:02:13,029 --> 00:02:16,029 recognized the power of the primordial spiral 24 00:02:16,029 --> 00:02:21,036 Which is symbolized by the rod of Asclepius. 25 00:02:21,036 --> 00:02:26,015 Hippocrates, the father of medicine, 26 00:02:26,015 --> 00:02:27,086 whose oath still forms the moral 27 00:02:27,086 --> 00:02:30,051 code of the medical profession is said to have 28 00:02:30,051 --> 00:02:33,095 received his training at an Asclepian temple. 29 00:02:33,095 --> 00:02:37,039 To this day, this symbol of our evolutionary energy 30 00:02:37,039 --> 00:02:40,031 remains as the logo of the American Medical Association 31 00:02:40,031 --> 00:02:48,054 and other medical organizations worldwide. 32 00:02:48,054 --> 00:02:51,084 In Egyptian iconography, the snake and bird represent 33 00:02:51,084 --> 00:03:02,079 the duality or polarity of human nature. 34 00:03:02,079 --> 00:03:07,003 The snake, the downward direction, is the manifested spiral, 35 00:03:07,003 --> 00:03:13,068 the evolutionary energy of the world. 36 00:03:13,068 --> 00:03:17,005 The bird is the upward direction; the upward current oriented 37 00:03:17,005 --> 00:03:21,519 towards the sun or awakened single-pointed consciousness; 38 00:03:21,519 --> 00:03:34,000 the emptiness of Akasha. 39 00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:36,579 Pharaohs and gods are depicted with awakened energy 40 00:03:36,579 --> 00:03:40,028 whereby the Kundalini snake moves up the spine and pierces 41 00:03:40,028 --> 00:03:48,098 "Ajna chakra" between the eyes. 42 00:03:48,098 --> 00:03:52,095 This is referred to as the eye of Horus. 43 00:03:52,095 --> 00:03:58,002 In the Hindu tradition the bindi is also representative of the third eye; 44 00:03:58,002 --> 00:04:07,093 the divine connection to spirit. 45 00:04:07,093 --> 00:04:10,056 King Tutankhamen’s mask is a classic example 46 00:04:10,056 --> 00:04:19,001 showing both the snake and bird motifs. 47 00:04:19,001 --> 00:04:24,539 The Mayan and Aztec traditions combine the serpent and bird motif into one god. 48 00:04:24,539 --> 00:04:27,005 Quetzalcoatl or Kukulkan. 49 00:04:27,005 --> 00:04:30,074 The plumed serpent god represents the awakened evolutionary 50 00:04:30,074 --> 00:04:34,065 consciousness or awakened Kundalini. 51 00:04:34,065 --> 00:04:37,919 The person who awakens Quetzalcoatl within themselves 52 00:04:37,919 --> 00:04:41,008 is a living manifestation of the divine. 53 00:04:41,008 --> 00:04:46,389 It is said that Quetzalcoatl, or serpent energy, 54 00:04:46,389 --> 00:05:01,004 shall return at the end of time. 55 00:05:01,004 --> 00:05:06,033 The snake and bird symbols can be found within Christianity as well. 56 00:05:06,033 --> 00:05:08,063 Their true meaning may be more deeply encrypted 57 00:05:08,063 --> 00:05:14,031 but the meaning is the same as in other ancient traditions. 58 00:05:14,031 --> 00:05:19,027 In Christianity, the bird or dove often seen above Christ's head 59 00:05:19,027 --> 00:05:23,058 represents Holy Spirit or Kundalini Shakti 60 00:05:23,058 --> 00:05:29,011 as it rises to the sixth chakra and beyond. 61 00:05:29,011 --> 00:05:38,061 The Christian mystics called Kundalini by another name; Holy Spirit. 62 00:05:38,061 --> 00:05:45,033 In John 3:12 it says, "and as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, 63 00:05:45,033 --> 00:05:51,012 so must the son of man be lifted up." 64 00:05:51,012 --> 00:05:56,006 Jesus and Moses awakened their Kundalini energy, bringing awakened consciousness 65 00:05:56,006 --> 00:06:03,037 to the unconscious reptilian forces that drive human craving. 66 00:06:03,037 --> 00:06:05,009 Jesus was said to have spent forty days and forty nights 67 00:06:05,009 --> 00:06:12,055 in the desert, during which time he was tempted by Satan. 68 00:06:12,055 --> 00:06:18,047 Similarly, the Buddha was tempted by "Mara" as he sat to reach 69 00:06:18,047 --> 00:06:26,889 enlightenment under the bodhi tree, or wisdom tree. 70 00:06:26,889 --> 00:06:30,075 Both Christ and Buddha had to turn away from the lure of sensory 71 00:06:30,075 --> 00:06:38,069 pleasures and worldly grasping. 72 00:06:38,069 --> 00:07:01,139 In each story, the demon is the personification of one's own attachments. 73 00:07:01,139 --> 00:07:06,409 If we read the Adam and Eve story in the light of the Vedic and Egyptian traditions 74 00:07:06,409 --> 00:07:11,018 we find that the serpent guarding the tree of life is Kundalini. 75 00:07:11,018 --> 00:07:16,034 The apple represents the lure and temptation of the external sensory world, 76 00:07:16,034 --> 00:07:19,199 distracting us from the knowledge of the inner world, 77 00:07:19,199 --> 00:07:33,062 the tree of knowledge within. 78 00:07:33,062 --> 00:07:38,053 The tree is simply the network of Nadis or energy meridians within ourselves, 79 00:07:38,053 --> 00:07:45,033 which literally form tree-like structures throughout the body. 80 00:07:45,033 --> 00:07:48,047 In our egoic quest for external gratification 81 00:07:48,047 --> 00:07:52,072 we have cut ourselves off from the knowledge of the inner world, 82 00:07:52,072 --> 00:08:07,006 our connection to Akasha and the wisdom source. 83 00:08:07,006 --> 00:08:09,759 Many of the world's historical myths about dragons 84 00:08:09,759 --> 00:08:12,012 can be read as metaphors for the inner energies 85 00:08:12,012 --> 00:08:15,056 of the cultures in which they are embedded. 86 00:08:15,056 --> 00:08:24,189 In China, the dragon is still a sacred symbol representing happiness. 87 00:08:24,189 --> 00:08:27,062 Like the Egyptian pharaohs, ancient Chinese emperors 88 00:08:27,062 --> 00:08:30,819 who had awakened their evolutionary energies 89 00:08:30,819 --> 00:08:36,169 were represented by the winged snake, or dragon. 90 00:08:36,169 --> 00:08:40,579 The royal totem of the Jade Emperor or Celestial Emperor 91 00:08:40,579 --> 00:08:46,011 shows a balance similar to Ida and Pingala. 92 00:08:46,011 --> 00:08:50,002 The yin and yang of Taoism, awakening the pineal center 93 00:08:50,002 --> 00:09:06,829 or in what in Taoism is called the Upper Dantien. 94 00:09:06,829 --> 00:09:08,064 Nature is full of different light detection 95 00:09:08,064 --> 00:09:11,022 and assimilation mechanisms. 96 00:09:11,022 --> 00:09:15,088 For example, a sea urchin can actually see with its spiky body 97 00:09:15,088 --> 00:09:19,093 which acts as one big eye. 98 00:09:19,093 --> 00:09:22,073 Urchins detect light striking their spines and compare 99 00:09:22,073 --> 00:09:36,094 the beams' intensities to get a sense of their surroundings. 100 00:09:36,094 --> 00:09:40,026 Green iguanas and other reptiles have a parietal eye 101 00:09:40,026 --> 00:09:44,018 or pineal gland on top of their heads which they use to detect 102 00:09:44,018 --> 00:09:56,089 predators from above. 103 00:09:56,089 --> 00:10:00,003 The human pineal gland is a small endocrine gland 104 00:10:00,003 --> 00:10:04,041 that helps to regulate waking and sleeping patterns. 105 00:10:04,041 --> 00:10:06,095 Even though it is buried deep inside the head 106 00:10:06,095 --> 00:10:12,004 the pineal gland is sensitive to light. 107 00:10:12,004 --> 00:10:15,012 The philosopher Descartes recognized that the pineal gland area 108 00:10:15,012 --> 00:10:20,063 or the third eye was the interface between consciousness and matter. 109 00:10:20,063 --> 00:10:23,339 Almost everything is symmetrical in the human body. 110 00:10:23,339 --> 00:10:30,589 Two eyes, two ears, two nostrils-even the brain has two sides. 111 00:10:30,589 --> 00:10:33,097 But there is one area of the brain that is not mirrored. 112 00:10:33,097 --> 00:10:40,029 This is the pineal gland area and the energetic center that surrounds it. 113 00:10:40,029 --> 00:10:43,017 On a physical level unique molecules are formed naturally 114 00:10:43,017 --> 00:10:46,076 by the pineal gland such as DMT. 115 00:10:46,076 --> 00:10:52,081 DMT also forms naturally at the moment of birth and at the moment of death, 116 00:10:52,081 --> 00:10:58,061 literally acting as a unique bridge between the world of the living and the dead. 117 00:10:58,061 --> 00:11:05,209 DMT is produced naturally during states of deep meditation 118 00:11:05,209 --> 00:11:09,099 and Samhadi, or through entheogenic means. 119 00:11:09,099 --> 00:11:14,519 For example, Ayahuasca is used in the shamanic traditions 120 00:11:14,519 --> 00:11:23,017 in South America to remove the veil between the inner and outer worlds. 121 00:11:23,017 --> 00:11:27,005 The word pineal itself has the same root as pine-cone 122 00:11:27,005 --> 00:11:32,068 because the pineal gland exhibits a similar spiral phyllotaxis pattern. 123 00:11:32,068 --> 00:11:36,037 This pattern, also known as the flower of life pattern, 124 00:11:36,037 --> 00:11:41,209 is common in ancient artwork depicting enlightened or awakened beings. 125 00:11:41,209 --> 00:11:45,017 When the pine cone image is seen in sacred artwork it represents the 126 00:11:45,017 --> 00:11:49,073 awakened third eye; single pointed consciousness 127 00:11:49,073 --> 00:11:54,067 directing the flow of evolutionary energy. 128 00:11:54,067 --> 00:11:58,589 The pine cone represents the flowering of the higher chakras 129 00:11:58,589 --> 00:12:06,057 which are activated as Sushumna rises to the Ajna chakra and beyond. 130 00:12:06,057 --> 00:12:10,279 In Greek mythology the worshippers of Dionysus carried a thyrsus 131 00:12:10,279 --> 00:12:16,041 or giant staff wrapped with spiraling vines topped with a pine-cone. 132 00:12:16,041 --> 00:12:20,088 Again, representing Dionysian energy or Kundalini Shakti 133 00:12:20,088 --> 00:12:31,013 as it travels up the spine to the pineal body at the sixth chakra. 134 00:12:31,013 --> 00:12:33,075 In the heart of the Vatican you might expect a giant sculpture 135 00:12:33,075 --> 00:12:39,062 of Jesus or Mary but instead we find a giant pine-cone statue 136 00:12:39,062 --> 00:12:42,094 indicating that in Christian history there may have been knowledge 137 00:12:42,094 --> 00:12:46,001 of the chakras and Kundalini but for whatever reason 138 00:12:46,001 --> 00:12:47,063 it was kept from the masses. 139 00:12:47,063 --> 00:12:51,036 The official church explanation is that the pine-cone 140 00:12:51,036 --> 00:13:03,024 is a symbol of regeneration and represents new life in Christ. 141 00:13:03,024 --> 00:13:14,093 The thirteenth century philosopher and mystic, Meister Eckhart said, 142 00:13:14,093 --> 00:13:20,063 "The eye with which I see God and the eye with which God sees me 143 00:13:20,063 --> 00:13:25,056 is one and the same." 144 00:13:25,056 --> 00:13:31,016 In the King James bible Jesus said, "the light of the body is the eye, 145 00:13:31,016 --> 00:13:47,024 if therefore thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of light." 146 00:13:47,024 --> 00:13:52,089 The Buddha said, "the body is an eye." 147 00:13:52,089 --> 00:13:57,056 In a state of Samadhi one is both the seer and the seen. 148 00:13:57,056 --> 00:14:13,098 We are the universe aware of itself. 149 00:14:13,098 --> 00:14:18,017 When Kundalini is activated, it stimulates the sixth chakra 150 00:14:18,017 --> 00:14:21,048 and pineal center and this area starts to regain some of its 151 00:14:21,048 --> 00:14:26,091 evolutionary functions. 152 00:14:26,091 --> 00:14:29,041 Darkness meditation has been used for thousands of years 153 00:14:29,041 --> 00:14:35,087 as a way to activate the sixth chakra in the area of the pineal gland. 154 00:14:35,087 --> 00:14:41,067 Activation of this center allows a person to see their inner light. 155 00:14:41,067 --> 00:14:45,057 Whether it is the proverbial yogi or shaman retreating deep into a cave 156 00:14:45,057 --> 00:14:51,529 or Taoist or Mayan initiate, or Tibetan monk, all traditions incorporate 157 00:14:51,529 --> 00:14:57,032 a period of time during which one goes into the darkness. 158 00:14:57,032 --> 00:15:04,082 The pineal gland is the gateway to experiencing one's subtle energy directly. 159 00:15:04,082 --> 00:15:10,029 The philosopher Nietzche said, "if you stare into the abyss long enough, 160 00:15:10,029 --> 00:15:17,066 eventually you find that the abyss stares back at you." 161 00:15:17,066 --> 00:15:26,209 Dolmens, or ancient portal tombs are among the oldest remaining structures on Earth. 162 00:15:26,209 --> 00:15:32,023 Most date to the Neolithic period of 3000-4000 BC and some in Western Europe 163 00:15:32,023 --> 00:15:35,098 are seven thousand years old. 164 00:15:35,098 --> 00:15:40,319 The dolmen was used to enter into perpetual meditation as a way 165 00:15:40,319 --> 00:15:47,329 for a human to bridge the inner and outer worlds. 166 00:15:47,329 --> 00:15:50,098 As one continues to meditate in total darkness eventually 167 00:15:50,098 --> 00:15:59,829 one begins to observe inner energy or light as the third eye becomes active. 168 00:15:59,829 --> 00:16:04,199 The circadian rhythms which are governed by the sun and the moon channels 169 00:16:04,199 --> 00:16:16,509 no longer control the functions of the body and a new rhythm is established. 170 00:16:16,509 --> 00:16:19,011 The seventh chakra, for thousands of years, 171 00:16:19,011 --> 00:16:21,092 has been represented by the "OM" symbol. 172 00:16:21,092 --> 00:16:28,459 A symbol which is constructed by Sanskrit signs representing the elements. 173 00:16:28,459 --> 00:16:32,339 When Kundalini rises beyond the sixth chakra it begins to create an 174 00:16:32,339 --> 00:16:34,085 energy halo. 175 00:16:34,085 --> 00:16:37,041 Halos appear consistently in the religious paintings of different 176 00:16:37,041 --> 00:17:31,006 traditions in all different parts of the world. 177 00:17:31,006 --> 00:17:34,001 The halo, or the depiction of an energy signature, 178 00:17:34,001 --> 00:17:38,045 around an awakened being, is common to virtually all religions 179 00:17:38,045 --> 00:17:42,076 in all parts of the world. 180 00:17:42,076 --> 00:17:46,039 The evolutionary process of awakening the chakras 181 00:17:46,039 --> 00:17:49,098 is not the property of one group or one religion, 182 00:17:49,098 --> 00:18:07,077 it is the birthright of every human being on the planet. 183 00:18:07,077 --> 00:18:12,018 The crown chakra is the connection to the divine; 184 00:18:12,018 --> 00:18:15,046 that which is beyond duality. 185 00:18:15,046 --> 00:18:21,085 Beyond name and form. 186 00:18:21,085 --> 00:18:28,004 Akhenaten was a pharaoh whose wife was Nefertiti. 187 00:18:28,004 --> 00:18:32,002 He is referred to as the son of the sun. 188 00:18:32,002 --> 00:18:37,032 He rediscovered "Aten", or the word of God within himself, 189 00:18:37,032 --> 00:18:47,016 uniting Kundalini and consciousness. 190 00:18:47,016 --> 00:18:50,082 In Egyptian iconography, once again the awakened consciousness 191 00:18:50,082 --> 00:18:55,008 is represented by the solar disk seen above the heads of gods 192 00:18:55,008 --> 00:19:03,094 or awakened beings. 193 00:19:03,094 --> 00:19:06,062 In the Hindu and Yogic traditions, this halo is called 194 00:19:06,062 --> 00:19:17,064 "Sahasrara", the thousand-petalled lotus. 195 00:19:17,064 --> 00:19:23,045 The Buddha is associated with the symbol of the lotus. 196 00:19:23,045 --> 00:19:26,072 The phyllotaxis pattern IS the same pattern as can be found 197 00:19:26,072 --> 00:19:29,024 in a blooming lotus. 198 00:19:29,024 --> 00:19:31,043 It IS the flower of life pattern. 199 00:19:31,043 --> 00:19:33,021 The seed of life. 200 00:19:33,021 --> 00:19:36,056 It is the fundamental pattern into which all forms fit. 201 00:19:36,056 --> 00:19:54,014 It is the very shape of space itself or a quality inherent to Akasha. 202 00:19:54,014 --> 00:20:02,083 At one time in history, the flower of life symbol was prevalent all over Earth. 203 00:20:02,083 --> 00:20:05,056 The flower of life is found guarded by lions 204 00:20:05,056 --> 00:20:16,055 at the most holy places in China and other parts of Asia. 205 00:20:16,055 --> 00:20:22,002 The 64 hexagrams of the I Ching often surround the yinyang symbol 206 00:20:22,002 --> 00:20:27,043 which is yet another way of representing the flower of life. 207 00:20:27,043 --> 00:20:30,002 Within the flower of life is the geometric basis 208 00:20:30,002 --> 00:20:32,062 for all of the platonic solids; 209 00:20:32,062 --> 00:20:37,044 essentially every form that can exist. 210 00:20:37,044 --> 00:20:39,093 The ancient flower of life begins with the geometry 211 00:20:39,093 --> 00:20:45,017 of the star of David, or upward and downward facing triangles. 212 00:20:45,017 --> 00:20:49,048 Or in 3D these would be tetrahedral structures. 213 00:20:49,048 --> 00:20:55,054 This symbol is a yantra, a sort of program that exists within the universe; 214 00:20:55,054 --> 00:21:01,044 the machine which is generating our fractal world. 215 00:21:01,044 --> 00:21:04,015 Yantras have been used as tools for awakening consciousness 216 00:21:04,015 --> 00:21:05,087 for thousands of years. 217 00:21:05,087 --> 00:21:10,065 The visual form of the yantra is an external representation 218 00:21:10,065 --> 00:21:17,087 of an inner process of spiritual unfolding. 219 00:21:17,087 --> 00:21:21,078 It is the hidden music of the universe made visible, 220 00:21:21,078 --> 00:21:39,039 comprised of intersecting geometrical forms and interference patterns. 221 00:21:39,039 --> 00:21:44,098 Each chakra is a lotus, a yantra, a psycho-physiological center 222 00:21:44,098 --> 00:21:54,074 through which the world can be experienced. 223 00:21:54,074 --> 00:22:21,003 A traditional yantra, such as can be found in the Tibetan tradition, 224 00:22:21,003 --> 00:22:24,066 is invested with rich layers of meaning, 225 00:22:24,066 --> 00:22:29,088 sometimes incorporating a complete cosmology and world view. 226 00:22:29,088 --> 00:22:33,000 The yantra is a constantly evolving pattern 227 00:22:33,000 --> 00:22:35,015 which works through the power of repetition 228 00:22:35,015 --> 00:22:37,083 or iteration of a cycle. 229 00:22:37,083 --> 00:22:41,073 The power of the yantra is all but lost in today's world 230 00:22:41,073 --> 00:22:44,072 because we seek meaning only in the external form 231 00:22:44,072 --> 00:22:59,025 and we do no connect it to our inner energies through intention. 232 00:22:59,025 --> 00:23:01,064 There is a good reason why priests, monks and yogis 233 00:23:01,064 --> 00:23:04,051 traditionally have been celibate. 234 00:23:04,051 --> 00:23:08,043 Today all but a tiny few know why they are practicing celibacy 235 00:23:08,043 --> 00:23:11,064 because the true purpose has become lost. 236 00:23:11,064 --> 00:23:16,002 Quite simply, if your energy is going into producing more sperm or eggs, 237 00:23:16,002 --> 00:23:19,043 as the case may be, then there is not as much to fuel the rising 238 00:23:19,043 --> 00:23:24,027 of Kundalini which activates the higher chakras. 239 00:23:24,027 --> 00:23:34,005 Kundalini is life energy, which is also sexual energy. 240 00:23:34,005 --> 00:23:37,055 When awareness becomes less focused on animal urges 241 00:23:37,055 --> 00:23:41,008 and is put into the objects reflective of the higher chakras, 242 00:23:41,008 --> 00:23:49,008 that energy flows up the spine into those chakras. 243 00:23:49,008 --> 00:23:54,079 Many of the tantric practices teach how to master sexual energy 244 00:23:54,079 --> 00:24:07,026 so it could be used for higher spiritual evolution. 245 00:24:07,026 --> 00:24:09,006 Your state of consciousness creates the right conditions 246 00:24:09,006 --> 00:24:12,052 for your energy to be able to grow. 247 00:24:12,052 --> 00:24:16,014 Entering a state of consciousness takes no time. 248 00:24:16,014 --> 00:24:20,009 As Eckhart Tolle says, "awareness and presence always happen in the now." 249 00:24:20,009 --> 00:24:23,088 If you are trying to make something happen 250 00:24:23,088 --> 00:24:28,024 then you are creating resistance to what is. 251 00:24:28,024 --> 00:24:31,001 It is the removing of all resistance that allows 252 00:24:31,001 --> 00:24:38,001 evolutionary energy to unfold. 253 00:24:38,001 --> 00:24:41,075 In the ancient Yogic tradition, yoga postures were used 254 00:24:41,075 --> 00:24:44,075 to prepare the body for meditation. 255 00:24:44,075 --> 00:24:49,053 Hatha yoga was never intended solely as an exercise regime, 256 00:24:49,053 --> 00:24:54,045 but as a way to link one's inner and outer worlds. 257 00:24:54,045 --> 00:25:01,096 The Sanskrit word "hatha" means: sun "ha", and moon "tha". 258 00:25:01,096 --> 00:25:05,023 In the original yoga sutra's of Patanjali 259 00:25:05,023 --> 00:25:07,023 the purpose of the eight limbs of yoga 260 00:25:07,023 --> 00:25:10,077 are the same as the Buddha's eight fold path; 261 00:25:10,077 --> 00:25:14,076 to liberate one from suffering. 262 00:25:14,076 --> 00:25:17,078 When the polarities of the dual world are in balance, 263 00:25:17,078 --> 00:25:21,011 a third thing is born. 264 00:25:21,011 --> 00:25:23,085 We find the mysterious Golden Key that unlocks 265 00:25:23,085 --> 00:25:28,027 the evolutionary forces of nature. 266 00:25:28,027 --> 00:25:43,084 This synthesis of the sun and moon channels is our evolutionary energy. 267 00:25:43,084 --> 00:25:46,035 Because humans are now identified almost exclusively 268 00:25:46,035 --> 00:25:49,018 with their thoughts and the outer world, 269 00:25:49,018 --> 00:25:51,082 it is a rare individual that achieves a balance 270 00:25:51,082 --> 00:25:55,064 of the inner and outer forces which allow Kundalini 271 00:25:55,064 --> 00:25:59,062 to awaken naturally. 272 00:25:59,062 --> 00:26:02,072 For those identified only with the illusion, 273 00:26:02,072 --> 00:26:06,007 Kundalini will always remain a metaphor, 274 00:26:06,007 --> 00:26:12,028 an idea, rather than a direct experience 275 00:26:12,028 --> 99:59:59,999 of one's energy and consciousness.
