. Reveals the biochemistry of how the body's melanin provides the template for the subtle energy body or light body . Shows how embracing the dark light consciousness of the awakened Ureaus opens a portal to the sacred darkness of the superconscious . Provides illustrated instructions for meditation practices, breathing exercises and yoga postures to safely awaken Ureaus/Kundalini energy Within each of us lies the potential to activate a personal connection to the superconscious. Called "Ureaus" in ancient Egyptian texts and "Kundalini" in ancient Hindu yoga traditions, our innate serpent power of spiritual transcendence inhabits the base of the spine in its dormant state. When awakened, it unfurls along the spinal column to the brain, connecting individual consciousness to the consciousness of the universe enfolded within the dark matter of space. At the root of creativity and spiritual genius across innumerable cultures and civilisations, this intelligent force reveals portals that enfold time, space and the luminous matrix of reality itself. Combining physics, neuroscience and biochemistry with ancient traditions from Africa and India, Edward Bruce Bynum explores the ancient Egyptian science of the Ureaus and reveals how it is intimately connected to dark matter and to melanin, a light-sensitive, energy-conducting substance found in the brain, nervous system and organs of all higher life-forms. He explains how the dark light of melanin serves as the biochemical infrastructure for the subtle energy body, just as dark matter, together with gravity, holds the galaxies and constellations together. With illustrated instructions, he shows how to safely awaken and stabilise the spiritual energy of the Ureaus through meditation practices, breathing exercises and yoga postures as well as how to prepare the subtle body for transdimensional soul travel. By embracing the dark light of the shining serpent within, we overcome our collective fear of the vast living darkness without. By embracing the dark, we transcend reality to the dimension of light.
