be on a secular object or on a spiritual object, is the key that releases the energy. When yoga was designed, we were agrarians. We had the old nervous system. It was a Herculean task to awaken the energy.
Today it is not easy but again, due to our ripe nervous system, it is not the monumental task that it was in the past. In fact, Paramahamsa Satyananda refers to kundalini as a gland, and he said that this gland is now ripe to explode. There is a certain section of the race that has a very advanced nervous system and there is a very thin veil between our current state of consciousness and the next plateau, the next development in human evolution. We have only to focus our attention in that direction.
The last part of his disclosure was that this evolution towards higher dimensions of consciousness is ruled by spiritual law still unknown to mankind at this time. It is the violation of the law, that is behind the present critical situation in the world today. Time does not permit me to expand upon this, but I will say that we are on the precipice of a massive change, because the current social order, the current way of life, is inimical to the inner process that is taking place in every brain in the world. As nature has done in the past, when we have come into a period where we are not cooperating with our own evolution, she makes sweeping changes. We are about to enter the vortex of this change in the very, very near future.
As I mentioned, Gopi Krishna died in 1984. I mustered enough courage to come to India to explore the research that he wanted to do, and which he outlined in great detail. The only reason I did it was because I looked around and there. wasn't anyone else to do it. It was not something I wanted to do. I was never built as a professional do-gooder, in fact, I am always a little suspicious of people who are professional dogooders. But I reluctantly came with an open mind and a willingness to follow the consciousness guiding this project, and my life has been a series of miracles since I arrived here.
I arrived in September of 1991, and we immediately started formulating the Kundalini Research Association International, registering it with the Delhi courts. Doctor Karen Singh, the eminent scholar, philosopher, author and diplomat, here in India became our worldwide chairman. He was invited here today but due to a conflict, he had to be in Japan, and he asked me to extend his best wishes and his regrets that he is not here.
