In the same way the Divine was throughout conscious of its awareness.It had a face but it could not see itself, as there was no reflector. As it was alone in solitude, it could not know itself. There had to be another, through which it could be known. Thus the Braham Chaitanya manifested as the Adi Shakti.The All Pervading had to take a form. The All Pervading Ocean had to limit itself by the shores. The clouds of the All Pervading Braham Chaitanya drizzled the Chaitanya to give awakening to the universe." - H.H Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi

Mother Earth's Kundalini energy emerges from its resting place in the planet's core and moves like a snake across the surface of our world. Once at home in ancient Lemuria, it moved to Atlantis, then to the Himalayan mountains of India and Tibet, and with every relocation changed our idea of what spiritual means. And gender. And heart. This time, with much difficulty, the Serpent of Light has moved to the Andes Mountains of Chile and Peru. Multi-dimensional, multi-disciplined, and multi-lived, for the first time in this book, Drunvalo begins to tell his stories of 35 years spent in service to Mother Earth. Follow him around the world as he follows the guidance of Ascended Masters, his two spheres of light, and his own inner growing knowledge. His story is a living string of ceremonies to help heal hearts, align energies, right ancient imbalances, and balance the living Earth's Unity Consciousness Grid-- in short to increase our awareness of the indivisibility of life in the universe. We are all--rocks and people and interdimensional beings--one!
