________________ father of five children. I had the task of raising them and working a business at the same time. In 1970 I left the business and, through the grace of God, I met Gopi Krishna in 1971. He was not a guru, he did not have disciples or students. During the course of the thirteen years that I knew him, he became a close friend, and I became a co-worker with him, along with many other people, in the dissemination of his disclosures about the evolution of the brain. He has written seventeen books about kundalini, explaining the future of kundalini. He said in a letter, once, "All of my ambitions, all of my desires, truly my only aim, is to leave a legacy of authentic material about the transcendent plane of consciousness, so that posterity can lay the foundation of a new science." It was strange when I started to read Sri Aurobindo following that, because Aurobindo used the same phrase. He said it was India's role to lay the foundation of a new science for the world. I am absolutely convinced that this science is based on the awakening of kundalini and the metamorphosis that is possible following this awakening. It was Gopi Krishna's disclosure that the human brain is still in an organic state of evolution, and that this evolution is occurring through the instrumentality of a psychophysiological, or in other words, a psychosomatic mechanism in the body, known in India as kundalini. He disclosed that this kundalini is responsible for all forms of genius, all extraordinary talents, all psychic gifts as well as certain forms of insanity and that the brain is currently in an accelerated rate of evolution. Now science cannot recognize that the brain is still evolving because we do not have the instrumentation for it. So it cannot realize that we are currently in an accelerated rate of evolution. All one has to do is look at the children of today to see how far more advanced they are at a very early age even among a few generations. This is incredible! It has been said that we are advancing at 30 or 40 years from generation to generation because of our highly accelerated nervous system. The nervous system is basically the key to the distribution of this energy when it awakens. The reason that the brain is in such a state of acceleration has to do with the cumulative use of concentration from generation to generation. It is heredity that determines the capacity of the nervous system to distribute this energy once it awakens.
