Edward Bruce Bynum, Ph.D., talks about his book Dark Light Consciousness: Melanin, Serpent Power, And The Luminous Matrix of Reality. Expand your mind and deepen your connection to spirituality.

Within each of us lies the potential to activate a personal connection to the superconscious. Called “Uraeus” 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 civilizations, this intelligent force reveals portals covering time, space, and the luminous matrix of reality.

Combining physics, neuroscience, and biochemistry with ancient traditions from Africa and India, Edward Bruce Bynum, Ph.D., 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. Finally, with illustrated instructions, he shows how to safely awaken and stabilize 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.

He answers these questions

• Spirituality is transmitted in the womb
  
• How neuro melanin attracts light
  
• What species has the most melanin
  
• 93 percent of the universe is dark matter
  
• Everything is light
  
• The purpose of the Serpent within
  
• How the nervous system becomes unstable
  
• Why panic attacks
  
• Why meditation is like a detergent
  
• How yoga quiets the mind
  

An innate serpent power of spiritual transcendence resides in all people. By embracing the dark light of the shining serpent within, we can connect our individual consciousness to the consciousness enfolded in the universe’s dark matter.
