00:00:03.031 --> 00:00:07.074
Prior to the dawn of Western civilization
and written language

00:00:07.074 --> 00:00:13.094
science and spirituality were not two separate
things.

00:00:13.094 --> 00:00:16.084
In the teachings of the great ancient traditions

00:00:16.084 --> 00:00:19.779
the outer search for knowledge and certainty
was balanced

00:00:19.779 --> 00:00:21.869
by an inner feeling of impermanence

00:00:21.869 --> 00:00:27.119
and intuitive understanding of the spiral
of change.

00:00:27.119 --> 00:00:31.049
As scientific thinking became more dominant
and information multiplied,

00:00:31.049 --> 00:00:36.000
fragmentation began to occur within our knowledge
systems.

00:00:36.000 --> 00:00:38.023
Increased specialization meant that fewer
people

00:00:38.023 --> 00:00:40.095
were capable of seeing the big picture,

00:00:40.095 --> 00:00:45.043
of feeling and intuiting the aesthetic of
the system as a whole.

00:00:45.043 --> 00:00:57.022
No one was asking, "is all this thinking good
for us?"

00:00:57.022 --> 00:01:01.042
The ancient knowledge is here in our midst,
hidden in plain view.

00:01:01.042 --> 00:01:06.085
But we are too preoccupied with our thoughts
to recognize it.

00:01:06.085 --> 00:01:10.009
This forgotten wisdom is way to restore the
balance

00:01:10.009 --> 00:01:14.539
between the inner and the outer.

00:01:14.539 --> 00:01:14.789
Yin and yang.

00:01:14.789 --> 00:01:52.159
Between the spiral of change and the stillness
at our core.

00:01:52.159 --> 00:01:59.509
In Greek legend, Asclepius was the son of
Apollo and the god of healing.

00:01:59.509 --> 00:02:02.909
His wisdom and skills for healing were unsurpassed

00:02:02.909 --> 00:02:10.049
and he is said to have discovered the secret
to life and death itself.

00:02:10.049 --> 00:02:13.029
In ancient Greece the Asclepian healing temples

00:02:13.029 --> 00:02:16.029
recognized the power of the primordial spiral

00:02:16.029 --> 00:02:21.036
Which is symbolized by the rod of Asclepius.

00:02:21.036 --> 00:02:26.015
Hippocrates, the father of medicine,

00:02:26.015 --> 00:02:27.086
whose oath still forms the moral

00:02:27.086 --> 00:02:30.051
code of the medical profession is said to
have

00:02:30.051 --> 00:02:33.095
received his training at an Asclepian temple.

00:02:33.095 --> 00:02:37.039
To this day, this symbol of our evolutionary
energy

00:02:37.039 --> 00:02:40.031
remains as the logo of the American Medical
Association

00:02:40.031 --> 00:02:48.054
and other medical organizations worldwide.

00:02:48.054 --> 00:02:51.084
In Egyptian iconography, the snake and bird
represent

00:02:51.084 --> 00:03:02.079
the duality or polarity of human nature.

00:03:02.079 --> 00:03:07.003
The snake, the downward direction, is the
manifested spiral,

00:03:07.003 --> 00:03:13.068
the evolutionary energy of the world.

00:03:13.068 --> 00:03:17.005
The bird is the upward direction; the upward
current oriented

00:03:17.005 --> 00:03:21.519
towards the sun or awakened single-pointed
consciousness;

00:03:21.519 --> 00:03:34.000
the emptiness of Akasha.

00:03:34.000 --> 00:03:36.579
Pharaohs and gods are depicted with awakened
energy

00:03:36.579 --> 00:03:40.028
whereby the Kundalini snake moves up the spine
and pierces

00:03:40.028 --> 00:03:48.098
"Ajna chakra" between the eyes.

00:03:48.098 --> 00:03:52.095
This is referred to as the eye of Horus.

00:03:52.095 --> 00:03:58.002
In the Hindu tradition the bindi is also representative
of the third eye;

00:03:58.002 --> 00:04:07.093
the divine connection to spirit.

00:04:07.093 --> 00:04:10.056
King Tutankhamen’s mask is a classic example

00:04:10.056 --> 00:04:19.001
showing both the snake and bird motifs.

00:04:19.001 --> 00:04:24.539
The Mayan and Aztec traditions combine the
serpent and bird motif into one god.

00:04:24.539 --> 00:04:27.005
Quetzalcoatl or Kukulkan.

00:04:27.005 --> 00:04:30.074
The plumed serpent god represents the awakened
evolutionary

00:04:30.074 --> 00:04:34.065
consciousness or awakened Kundalini.

00:04:34.065 --> 00:04:37.919
The person who awakens Quetzalcoatl within
themselves

00:04:37.919 --> 00:04:41.008
is a living manifestation of the divine.

00:04:41.008 --> 00:04:46.389
It is said that Quetzalcoatl, or serpent energy,

00:04:46.389 --> 00:05:01.004
shall return at the end of time.

00:05:01.004 --> 00:05:06.033
The snake and bird symbols can be found within
Christianity as well.

00:05:06.033 --> 00:05:08.063
Their true meaning may be more deeply encrypted

00:05:08.063 --> 00:05:14.031
but the meaning is the same as in other ancient
traditions.

00:05:14.031 --> 00:05:19.027
In Christianity, the bird or dove often seen
above Christ's head

00:05:19.027 --> 00:05:23.058
represents Holy Spirit or Kundalini Shakti

00:05:23.058 --> 00:05:29.011
as it rises to the sixth chakra and beyond.

00:05:29.011 --> 00:05:38.061
The Christian mystics called Kundalini by
another name; Holy Spirit.

00:05:38.061 --> 00:05:45.033
In John 3:12 it says, "and as Moses lifted
up the serpent in the wilderness,

00:05:45.033 --> 00:05:51.012
so must the son of man be lifted up."

00:05:51.012 --> 00:05:56.006
Jesus and Moses awakened their Kundalini energy,
bringing awakened consciousness

00:05:56.006 --> 00:06:03.037
to the unconscious reptilian forces that drive
human craving.

00:06:03.037 --> 00:06:05.009
Jesus was said to have spent forty days and
forty nights

00:06:05.009 --> 00:06:12.055
in the desert, during which time he was tempted
by Satan.

00:06:12.055 --> 00:06:18.047
Similarly, the Buddha was tempted by "Mara"
as he sat to reach

00:06:18.047 --> 00:06:26.889
enlightenment under the bodhi tree, or wisdom
tree.

00:06:26.889 --> 00:06:30.075
Both Christ and Buddha had to turn away from
the lure of sensory

00:06:30.075 --> 00:06:38.069
pleasures and worldly grasping.

00:06:38.069 --> 00:07:01.139
In each story, the demon is the personification
of one's own attachments.

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

00:07:06.409 --> 00:07:11.018
we find that the serpent guarding the tree
of life is Kundalini.

00:07:11.018 --> 00:07:16.034
The apple represents the lure and temptation
of the external sensory world,

00:07:16.034 --> 00:07:19.199
distracting us from the knowledge of the inner
world,

00:07:19.199 --> 00:07:33.062
the tree of knowledge within.

00:07:33.062 --> 00:07:38.053
The tree is simply the network of Nadis or
energy meridians within ourselves,

00:07:38.053 --> 00:07:45.033
which literally form tree-like structures
throughout the body.

00:07:45.033 --> 00:07:48.047
In our egoic quest for external gratification

00:07:48.047 --> 00:07:52.072
we have cut ourselves off from the knowledge
of the inner world,

00:07:52.072 --> 00:08:07.006
our connection to Akasha and the wisdom source.

00:08:07.006 --> 00:08:09.759
Many of the world's historical myths about
dragons

00:08:09.759 --> 00:08:12.012
can be read as metaphors for the inner energies

00:08:12.012 --> 00:08:15.056
of the cultures in which they are embedded.

00:08:15.056 --> 00:08:24.189
In China, the dragon is still a sacred symbol
representing happiness.

00:08:24.189 --> 00:08:27.062
Like the Egyptian pharaohs, ancient Chinese
emperors

00:08:27.062 --> 00:08:30.819
who had awakened their evolutionary energies

00:08:30.819 --> 00:08:36.169
were represented by the winged snake, or dragon.

00:08:36.169 --> 00:08:40.579
The royal totem of the Jade Emperor or Celestial
Emperor

00:08:40.579 --> 00:08:46.011
shows a balance similar to Ida and Pingala.

00:08:46.011 --> 00:08:50.002
The yin and yang of Taoism, awakening the
pineal center

00:08:50.002 --> 00:09:06.829
or in what in Taoism is called the Upper Dantien.

00:09:06.829 --> 00:09:08.064
Nature is full of different light detection

00:09:08.064 --> 00:09:11.022
and assimilation mechanisms.

00:09:11.022 --> 00:09:15.088
For example, a sea urchin can actually see
with its spiky body

00:09:15.088 --> 00:09:19.093
which acts as one big eye.

00:09:19.093 --> 00:09:22.073
Urchins detect light striking their spines
and compare

00:09:22.073 --> 00:09:36.094
the beams' intensities to get a sense of their
surroundings.

00:09:36.094 --> 00:09:40.026
Green iguanas and other reptiles have a parietal
eye

00:09:40.026 --> 00:09:44.018
or pineal gland on top of their heads which
they use to detect

00:09:44.018 --> 00:09:56.089
predators from above.

00:09:56.089 --> 00:10:00.003
The human pineal gland is a small endocrine
gland

00:10:00.003 --> 00:10:04.041
that helps to regulate waking and sleeping
patterns.

00:10:04.041 --> 00:10:06.095
Even though it is buried deep inside the head

00:10:06.095 --> 00:10:12.004
the pineal gland is sensitive to light.

00:10:12.004 --> 00:10:15.012
The philosopher Descartes recognized that
the pineal gland area

00:10:15.012 --> 00:10:20.063
or the third eye was the interface between
consciousness and matter.

00:10:20.063 --> 00:10:23.339
Almost everything is symmetrical in the human
body.

00:10:23.339 --> 00:10:30.589
Two eyes, two ears, two nostrils-even the
brain has two sides.

00:10:30.589 --> 00:10:33.097
But there is one area of the brain that is
not mirrored.

00:10:33.097 --> 00:10:40.029
This is the pineal gland area and the energetic
center that surrounds it.

00:10:40.029 --> 00:10:43.017
On a physical level unique molecules are formed
naturally

00:10:43.017 --> 00:10:46.076
by the pineal gland such as DMT.

00:10:46.076 --> 00:10:52.081
DMT also forms naturally at the moment of
birth and at the moment of death,

00:10:52.081 --> 00:10:58.061
literally acting as a unique bridge between
the world of the living and the dead.

00:10:58.061 --> 00:11:05.209
DMT is produced naturally during states of
deep meditation

00:11:05.209 --> 00:11:09.099
and Samhadi, or through entheogenic means.

00:11:09.099 --> 00:11:14.519
For example, Ayahuasca is used in the shamanic
traditions

00:11:14.519 --> 00:11:23.017
in South America to remove the veil between
the inner and outer worlds.

00:11:23.017 --> 00:11:27.005
The word pineal itself has the same root as
pine-cone

00:11:27.005 --> 00:11:32.068
because the pineal gland exhibits a similar
spiral phyllotaxis pattern.

00:11:32.068 --> 00:11:36.037
This pattern, also known as the flower of
life pattern,

00:11:36.037 --> 00:11:41.209
is common in ancient artwork depicting enlightened
or awakened beings.

00:11:41.209 --> 00:11:45.017
When the pine cone image is seen in sacred
artwork it represents the

00:11:45.017 --> 00:11:49.073
awakened third eye; single pointed consciousness

00:11:49.073 --> 00:11:54.067
directing the flow of evolutionary energy.

00:11:54.067 --> 00:11:58.589
The pine cone represents the flowering of
the higher chakras

00:11:58.589 --> 00:12:06.057
which are activated as Sushumna rises to the
Ajna chakra and beyond.

00:12:06.057 --> 00:12:10.279
In Greek mythology the worshippers of Dionysus
carried a thyrsus

00:12:10.279 --> 00:12:16.041
or giant staff wrapped with spiraling vines
topped with a pine-cone.

00:12:16.041 --> 00:12:20.088
Again, representing Dionysian energy or Kundalini
Shakti

00:12:20.088 --> 00:12:31.013
as it travels up the spine to the pineal body
at the sixth chakra.

00:12:31.013 --> 00:12:33.075
In the heart of the Vatican you might expect
a giant sculpture

00:12:33.075 --> 00:12:39.062
of Jesus or Mary but instead we find a giant
pine-cone statue

00:12:39.062 --> 00:12:42.094
indicating that in Christian history there
may have been knowledge

00:12:42.094 --> 00:12:46.001
of the chakras and Kundalini but for whatever
reason

00:12:46.001 --> 00:12:47.063
it was kept from the masses.

00:12:47.063 --> 00:12:51.036
The official church explanation is that the
pine-cone

00:12:51.036 --> 00:13:03.024
is a symbol of regeneration and represents
new life in Christ.

00:13:03.024 --> 00:13:14.093
The 
thirteenth century philosopher and mystic,
Meister Eckhart said,

00:13:14.093 --> 00:13:20.063
"The eye with which I see God and the eye
with which God sees me

00:13:20.063 --> 00:13:25.056
is one and the same."

00:13:25.056 --> 00:13:31.016
In the King James bible Jesus said, "the light
of the body is the eye,

00:13:31.016 --> 00:13:47.024
if therefore thine eye be single, thy whole
body shall be full of light."

00:13:47.024 --> 00:13:52.089
The Buddha said, "the body is an eye."

00:13:52.089 --> 00:13:57.056
In a state of Samadhi one is both the seer
and the seen.

00:13:57.056 --> 00:14:13.098
We are the universe aware of itself.

00:14:13.098 --> 00:14:18.017
When Kundalini is activated, it stimulates
the sixth chakra

00:14:18.017 --> 00:14:21.048
and pineal center and this area starts to
regain some of its

00:14:21.048 --> 00:14:26.091
evolutionary functions.

00:14:26.091 --> 00:14:29.041
Darkness meditation has been used for thousands
of years

00:14:29.041 --> 00:14:35.087
as a way to activate the sixth chakra in the
area of the pineal gland.

00:14:35.087 --> 00:14:41.067
Activation of this center allows a person
to see their inner light.

00:14:41.067 --> 00:14:45.057
Whether it is the proverbial yogi or shaman
retreating deep into a cave

00:14:45.057 --> 00:14:51.529
or Taoist or Mayan initiate, or Tibetan monk,
all traditions incorporate

00:14:51.529 --> 00:14:57.032
a period of time during which one goes into
the darkness.

00:14:57.032 --> 00:15:04.082
The pineal gland is the gateway to experiencing
one's subtle energy directly.

00:15:04.082 --> 00:15:10.029
The philosopher Nietzche said, "if you stare
into the abyss long enough,

00:15:10.029 --> 00:15:17.066
eventually you find that the abyss stares
back at you."

00:15:17.066 --> 00:15:26.209
Dolmens, or ancient portal tombs are among
the oldest remaining structures on Earth.

00:15:26.209 --> 00:15:32.023
Most date to the Neolithic period of 3000-4000
BC and some in Western Europe

00:15:32.023 --> 00:15:35.098
are seven thousand years old.

00:15:35.098 --> 00:15:40.319
The dolmen was used to enter into perpetual
meditation as a way

00:15:40.319 --> 00:15:47.329
for a human to bridge the inner and outer
worlds.

00:15:47.329 --> 00:15:50.098
As one continues to meditate in total darkness
eventually

00:15:50.098 --> 00:15:59.829
one begins to observe inner energy or light
as the third eye becomes active.

00:15:59.829 --> 00:16:04.199
The circadian rhythms which are governed by
the sun and the moon channels

00:16:04.199 --> 00:16:16.509
no longer control the functions of the body
and a new rhythm is established.

00:16:16.509 --> 00:16:19.011
The seventh chakra, for thousands of years,

00:16:19.011 --> 00:16:21.092
has been represented by the "OM" symbol.

00:16:21.092 --> 00:16:28.459
A symbol which is constructed by Sanskrit
signs representing the elements.

00:16:28.459 --> 00:16:32.339
When Kundalini rises beyond the sixth chakra
it begins to create an

00:16:32.339 --> 00:16:34.085
energy halo.

00:16:34.085 --> 00:16:37.041
Halos appear consistently in the religious
paintings of different

00:16:37.041 --> 00:17:31.006
traditions in all different parts of the world.

00:17:31.006 --> 00:17:34.001
The halo, or the depiction of an energy signature,

00:17:34.001 --> 00:17:38.045
around an awakened being, is common to virtually
all religions

00:17:38.045 --> 00:17:42.076
in all parts of the world.

00:17:42.076 --> 00:17:46.039
The evolutionary process of awakening the
chakras

00:17:46.039 --> 00:17:49.098
is not the property of one group or one religion,

00:17:49.098 --> 00:18:07.077
it is the birthright of every human being
on the planet.

00:18:07.077 --> 00:18:12.018
The crown chakra is the connection to the
divine;

00:18:12.018 --> 00:18:15.046
that which is beyond duality.

00:18:15.046 --> 00:18:21.085
Beyond name and form.

00:18:21.085 --> 00:18:28.004
Akhenaten was a pharaoh whose wife was Nefertiti.

00:18:28.004 --> 00:18:32.002
He is referred to as the son of the sun.

00:18:32.002 --> 00:18:37.032
He rediscovered "Aten", or the word of God
within himself,

00:18:37.032 --> 00:18:47.016
uniting Kundalini and consciousness.

00:18:47.016 --> 00:18:50.082
In Egyptian iconography, once again the awakened
consciousness

00:18:50.082 --> 00:18:55.008
is represented by the solar disk seen above
the heads of gods

00:18:55.008 --> 00:19:03.094
or awakened beings.

00:19:03.094 --> 00:19:06.062
In the Hindu and Yogic traditions, this halo
is called

00:19:06.062 --> 00:19:17.064
"Sahasrara", the thousand-petalled lotus.

00:19:17.064 --> 00:19:23.045
The Buddha is associated with the symbol of
the lotus.

00:19:23.045 --> 00:19:26.072
The phyllotaxis pattern IS the same pattern
as can be found

00:19:26.072 --> 00:19:29.024
in a blooming lotus.

00:19:29.024 --> 00:19:31.043
It IS the flower of life pattern.

00:19:31.043 --> 00:19:33.021
The seed of life.

00:19:33.021 --> 00:19:36.056
It is the fundamental pattern into which all
forms fit.

00:19:36.056 --> 00:19:54.014
It is the very shape of space itself or a
quality inherent to Akasha.

00:19:54.014 --> 00:20:02.083
At one time in history, the flower of life
symbol was prevalent all over Earth.

00:20:02.083 --> 00:20:05.056
The flower of life is found guarded by lions

00:20:05.056 --> 00:20:16.055
at the most holy places in China and other
parts of Asia.

00:20:16.055 --> 00:20:22.002
The 64 hexagrams of the I Ching often surround
the yinyang symbol

00:20:22.002 --> 00:20:27.043
which is yet another way of representing the
flower of life.

00:20:27.043 --> 00:20:30.002
Within the flower of life is the geometric
basis

00:20:30.002 --> 00:20:32.062
for all of the platonic solids;

00:20:32.062 --> 00:20:37.044
essentially every form that can exist.

00:20:37.044 --> 00:20:39.093
The ancient flower of life begins with the
geometry

00:20:39.093 --> 00:20:45.017
of the star of David, or upward and downward
facing triangles.

00:20:45.017 --> 00:20:49.048
Or in 3D these would be tetrahedral structures.

00:20:49.048 --> 00:20:55.054
This symbol is a yantra, a sort of program
that exists within the universe;

00:20:55.054 --> 00:21:01.044
the machine which is generating our fractal
world.

00:21:01.044 --> 00:21:04.015
Yantras have been used as tools for awakening
consciousness

00:21:04.015 --> 00:21:05.087
for thousands of years.

00:21:05.087 --> 00:21:10.065
The visual form of the yantra is an external
representation

00:21:10.065 --> 00:21:17.087
of an inner process of spiritual unfolding.

00:21:17.087 --> 00:21:21.078
It is the hidden music of the universe made
visible,

00:21:21.078 --> 00:21:39.039
comprised of intersecting geometrical forms
and interference patterns.

00:21:39.039 --> 00:21:44.098
Each chakra is a lotus, a yantra, a psycho-physiological
center

00:21:44.098 --> 00:21:54.074
through which the world can be experienced.

00:21:54.074 --> 00:22:21.003
A traditional yantra, such as can be found
in the Tibetan tradition,

00:22:21.003 --> 00:22:24.066
is invested with rich layers of meaning,

00:22:24.066 --> 00:22:29.088
sometimes incorporating a complete cosmology
and world view.

00:22:29.088 --> 00:22:33.000
The yantra is a constantly evolving pattern

00:22:33.000 --> 00:22:35.015
which works through the power of repetition

00:22:35.015 --> 00:22:37.083
or iteration of a cycle.

00:22:37.083 --> 00:22:41.073
The power of the yantra is all but lost in
today's world

00:22:41.073 --> 00:22:44.072
because we seek meaning only in the external
form

00:22:44.072 --> 00:22:59.025
and we do no connect it to our inner energies
through intention.

00:22:59.025 --> 00:23:01.064
There is a good reason why priests, monks
and yogis

00:23:01.064 --> 00:23:04.051
traditionally have been celibate.

00:23:04.051 --> 00:23:08.043
Today all but a tiny few know why they are
practicing celibacy

00:23:08.043 --> 00:23:11.064
because the true purpose has become lost.

00:23:11.064 --> 00:23:16.002
Quite simply, if your energy is going into
producing more sperm or eggs,

00:23:16.002 --> 00:23:19.043
as the case may be, then there is not as much
to fuel the rising

00:23:19.043 --> 00:23:24.027
of Kundalini which activates the higher chakras.

00:23:24.027 --> 00:23:34.005
Kundalini is life energy, which is also sexual
energy.

00:23:34.005 --> 00:23:37.055
When awareness becomes less focused on animal
urges

00:23:37.055 --> 00:23:41.008
and is put into the objects reflective of
the higher chakras,

00:23:41.008 --> 00:23:49.008
that energy flows up the spine into those
chakras.

00:23:49.008 --> 00:23:54.079
Many of the tantric practices teach how to
master sexual energy

00:23:54.079 --> 00:24:07.026
so it could be used for higher spiritual evolution.

00:24:07.026 --> 00:24:09.006
Your state of consciousness creates the right
conditions

00:24:09.006 --> 00:24:12.052
for your energy to be able to grow.

00:24:12.052 --> 00:24:16.014
Entering a state of consciousness takes no
time.

00:24:16.014 --> 00:24:20.009
As Eckhart Tolle says, "awareness and presence
always happen in the now."

00:24:20.009 --> 00:24:23.088
If you are trying to make something happen

00:24:23.088 --> 00:24:28.024
then you are creating resistance to what is.

00:24:28.024 --> 00:24:31.001
It is the removing of all resistance that
allows

00:24:31.001 --> 00:24:38.001
evolutionary energy to unfold.

00:24:38.001 --> 00:24:41.075
In the ancient Yogic tradition, yoga postures
were used

00:24:41.075 --> 00:24:44.075
to prepare the body for meditation.

00:24:44.075 --> 00:24:49.053
Hatha yoga was never intended solely as an
exercise regime,

00:24:49.053 --> 00:24:54.045
but as a way to link one's inner and outer
worlds.

00:24:54.045 --> 00:25:01.096
The Sanskrit word "hatha" means: sun "ha",
and moon "tha".

00:25:01.096 --> 00:25:05.023
In the original yoga sutra's of Patanjali

00:25:05.023 --> 00:25:07.023
the purpose of the eight limbs of yoga

00:25:07.023 --> 00:25:10.077
are the same as the Buddha's eight fold path;

00:25:10.077 --> 00:25:14.076
to liberate one from suffering.

00:25:14.076 --> 00:25:17.078
When the polarities of the dual world are
in balance,

00:25:17.078 --> 00:25:21.011
a third thing is born.

00:25:21.011 --> 00:25:23.085
We find the mysterious Golden Key that unlocks

00:25:23.085 --> 00:25:28.027
the evolutionary forces of nature.

00:25:28.027 --> 00:25:43.084
This synthesis of the sun and moon channels
is our evolutionary energy.

00:25:43.084 --> 00:25:46.035
Because humans are now identified almost exclusively

00:25:46.035 --> 00:25:49.018
with their thoughts and the outer world,

00:25:49.018 --> 00:25:51.082
it is a rare individual that achieves a balance

00:25:51.082 --> 00:25:55.064
of the inner and outer forces which allow
Kundalini

00:25:55.064 --> 00:25:59.062
to awaken naturally.

00:25:59.062 --> 00:26:02.072
For those identified only with the illusion,

00:26:02.072 --> 00:26:06.007
Kundalini will always remain a metaphor,

00:26:06.007 --> 00:26:12.028
an idea, rather than a direct experience

00:26:12.028 --> 99:59:59.999
of one's energy and consciousness.
