"If you learn how to fall, you will not do so. There is no above and below, so where can you fall to? The heavenly bodies are in balance. They circle each other without colliding because they are akin. That is how it must be with us. Something of me is in you. We shall hold each other in balance -we ourselves, nothing more. We are circling stars, so let go, be free!"
Michael Ende
All cultures and traditions throughout recorded history speak of a process of awakening, enlightenment, or union with the Divine—a return to the “natural state” of the human being—where the heart is open, where there is an immense feeling of connection with others and the natural world, and where we are able to perceive reality as it is, without the conditioned filters and unceasing interpretations of the ancient mind.
What we have seen, not unlike many ancient cultures and civilizations, is that there exists a dormant spiritual energy within the human being which, when activated, catalyzes the awakening process. In the Indian tradition, this energy is known as the kundalini. The kundalini is seen to travel through various energy centers within the subtle body of each human being. While referred to by a variety of names cross-culturally, these focused centers of energy are referred to in India as the chakras or the chakra system.
This process of awakening the human being to its natural state involves the activation of this kundalini-- this spiritual energy-- as well as a balancing of the various energy centers in the subtle body. When the kundalini is activated and the chakras are balanced, we return to a very ordinary, simple, yet extremely profound relationship with life. Our senses are open and functioning clearly, our heart is open and we feel so connected with others, and we find ourselves in a natural and beautiful relationship with what we might call the Divine, God, or with the higher Self or intelligence of the Universe. We have a deep and profound sense of trust in life, we are comfortable with ourselves and others, and are finally living as opposed to merely existing.
As a result of this beautiful condition, we naturally and effortlessly affect those around us—helping them to flower in their lives according to their own unique expression.
