About this listen
How to awaken the ureaus - the serpent power of spiritual transcendence within each of us - and connect to the superconscious of the universe.
- Reveals the biochemistry of how the body’s melanin provides the template for the subtle energy body or light body
- Shows how embracing the dark light consciousness of the awakened ureaus opens a portal to the sacred darkness of the superconscious
- Provides instructions for meditation practices, breathing exercises, and yoga postures to safely awaken ureaus/Kundalini energy
Within each of us lies the potential to activate a personal connection to the superconscious. Called ureaus 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 that enfold time, space, and the luminous matrix of reality itself.
Combining physics, neuroscience, and biochemistry with ancient traditions from Africa and India, Edward Bruce Bynum, PhD, 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. He also tells 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.
By embracing the dark light of the shining serpent within, we overcome our collective fear of the vast living darkness without. By embracing the dark, we transcend reality to the dimension of light.

This is a transmission directed to humanity from the melanin-dominant priesthood, healers, shamans, spiritualists, Mamas, and Babas to elevate and evolve the status of the melanin-dominant population to wholeness. With this transmission, we reclaim our space and legacy as the original peoples and majority legacy holders on Earth; we release our people from enslavement and brutality and all remnants of post-slavery distress syndrome across the globe. We are transmitting that our lineage is always free, operates on universal principles and knowledge, and has unlimited wealth.

In this classic work, Professor George G. M. James methodically shows how the Greeks first borrowed and then stole the knowledge from the Priests of the African (Egyptian) Mystery System. He shows how the most popular philosophers including Thales, Anaximander, Plato and Socrates were all treated as men bringing a foreign teaching to Greece. A teaching so foreign that they were persecuted for what they taught.

Story
Melanin, a chemical released from the pineal gland of your brain, is the answer to it all. This seemingly magical component of who you are is in many ways the origin of your conscious expansion, and none of it would be possible without the sun! Melanin exists beyond just your own body and can in fact be found in all corners of the universe. It is the driving power that connects all living and nonliving things. The secret that these ancient tribes hold, the one that allows them so much peace and serenity, isn’t actually a secret after all.

Critic reviews
“In this fascinating book, Edward Bynum throws down a gauntlet to science that may very well result in the most revolutionary research ever done on consciousness. His groundbreaking ideas challenge not just what we know about enlightenment but the very nature of light itself and - more importantly for each and every one of us - our journey toward it.” (Teri Degler, author of The Divine Feminine Fire and The Fiery Muse)
“Edward Bynum has written a complex guide that brings together ancient and modern sciences, ethics, biology, spiritual teachings, and subtle physiology and provides specific energy and meditation practices to activate and explain the awakening of kundalini energy and its highest functioning in an individual. He has introduced ancient tantric understanding of subtle body energies rarely available to the public, along with practices that allow one to discover their existence for themselves. This book will be highly useful for personal growth and offers a foundation for new research and experimentation that can bring science and the realization of consciousness together. A true alchemy of the body and the spirit.” (Bonnie Greenwell, PhD, founder of Shanti River Center in Ashland, Oregon, and author of Energies of Transformation)

Mind opening?
The book ended up going a direction I wasn't expecting but ended up opening my mind to many different ideals, thoughts, and practices. The later half feels as if it focuses on meditative practices mostly but interwoven throughout are gems of knowledge that sent me down a rabbit hole of researching and revelations. I will definitely give the book another listen and will try many of the recommended practices in an attempt to "see for myself"
