Hi everyone! I am interested in learning more about the phenomenon of kundalini and how it relates to some of the challenges and issues that our modern world faces. Gopi Krishna talks about this energy being key to understanding the evolution of the brain and nervous system and how its imbalance with technological progress is contributing to problems of environmental degredation, nuclear weapons, mental health issues, etc. Traditionally evolution has been seen as a random process of development based on survival of the material body against weather, predation, etc. but what I find interesting is the concept in many Eastern religions of consciousness being the keystone feature driving evolution. I am hoping to learn more about this through study and direct experience through a meditative discipline.
