Prior to the dawn of Western civilization and written language

science and spirituality were not two separate things.

In the teachings of the great ancient traditions

the outer search for knowledge and certainty was balanced

and intuitive understanding of the spiral of change.

As scientific thinking became more dominant and information multiplied,

fragmentation began to occur within our knowledge systems.

Increased specialization meant that fewer people

of feeling and intuiting the aesthetic of the system as a whole.

No one was asking, "is all this thinking good for us?"

The ancient knowledge is here in our midst, hidden in plain view.

But we are too preoccupied with our thoughts to recognize it.

This forgotten wisdom is way to restore the balance

Between the spiral of change and the stillness at our core.

In Greek legend, Asclepius was the son of Apollo and the god of healing.

His wisdom and skills for healing were unsurpassed

and he is said to have discovered the secret to life and death itself.

In ancient Greece the Asclepian healing temples

recognized the power of the primordial spiral

Which is symbolized by the rod of Asclepius.

code of the medical profession is said to have

received his training at an Asclepian temple.

To this day, this symbol of our evolutionary energy

remains as the logo of the American Medical Association

and other medical organizations worldwide.

In Egyptian iconography, the snake and bird represent

The snake, the downward direction, is the manifested spiral,

The bird is the upward direction; the upward current oriented

towards the sun or awakened single-pointed consciousness;

Pharaohs and gods are depicted with awakened energy

whereby the Kundalini snake moves up the spine and pierces

In the Hindu tradition the bindi is also representative of the third eye;

King Tutankhamen’s mask is a classic example

The Mayan and Aztec traditions combine the serpent and bird motif into one god.

The plumed serpent god represents the awakened evolutionary

The person who awakens Quetzalcoatl within themselves

It is said that Quetzalcoatl, or serpent energy,

The snake and bird symbols can be found within Christianity as well.

Their true meaning may be more deeply encrypted

but the meaning is the same as in other ancient traditions.

In Christianity, the bird or dove often seen above Christ's head

represents Holy Spirit or Kundalini Shakti

as it rises to the sixth chakra and beyond.

The Christian mystics called Kundalini by another name; Holy Spirit.

In John 3:12 it says, "and as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness,

Jesus and Moses awakened their Kundalini energy, bringing awakened consciousness

to the unconscious reptilian forces that drive human craving.

Jesus was said to have spent forty days and forty nights

in the desert, during which time he was tempted by Satan.

Similarly, the Buddha was tempted by "Mara" as he sat to reach

enlightenment under the bodhi tree, or wisdom tree.

Both Christ and Buddha had to turn away from the lure of sensory

In each story, the demon is the personification of one's own attachments.

If we read the Adam and Eve story in the light of the Vedic and Egyptian traditions

we find that the serpent guarding the tree of life is Kundalini.

The apple represents the lure and temptation of the external sensory world,

distracting us from the knowledge of the inner world,

The tree is simply the network of Nadis or energy meridians within ourselves,

which literally form tree-like structures throughout the body.

In our egoic quest for external gratification

we have cut ourselves off from the knowledge of the inner world,

our connection to Akasha and the wisdom source.

Many of the world's historical myths about dragons

can be read as metaphors for the inner energies

of the cultures in which they are embedded.

In China, the dragon is still a sacred symbol representing happiness.

Like the Egyptian pharaohs, ancient Chinese emperors

who had awakened their evolutionary energies

were represented by the winged snake, or dragon.

The royal totem of the Jade Emperor or Celestial Emperor

shows a balance similar to Ida and Pingala.

The yin and yang of Taoism, awakening the pineal center

or in what in Taoism is called the Upper Dantien.

Nature is full of different light detection

For example, a sea urchin can actually see with its spiky body

Urchins detect light striking their spines and compare

the beams' intensities to get a sense of their surroundings.

Green iguanas and other reptiles have a parietal eye
