This tree seems to be completely topsy-turvy, yet it contains the essence of all occult<br />

truth and secret knowledge. It cannot be understood intellectually, but only through<br />

progressive spiritual awakening, for spiritual understanding always dawns in a way which<br />

is paradoxical and irrational to the faculty of intellect. This same tree is called the 'Tree of<br />

Life' in the Kabbalah and the 'Tree of Knowledge' in the Bible. Its understanding forms<br />

the basis of both Christian and Judaic religious traditions, but unfortunately it has been<br />

completely misunderstood <strong>by</strong> and large, for a very long time.<br />

So it is that everybody who is trying to move from mooladhara to sahasrara is<br />

climbing to the root every time, and the root is at the top, the brain, the sahasrara.<br />

Mooladhara is not the root center at all. So if you are moving from swadhisthana to<br />

sahasrara or from manipura to sahasrara, then you are climbing to the root, which is at the<br />

top in sahasrara.<br />

<strong>Kundalini</strong> and the Brain<br />

The awakening of kundalini and its union with Shiva is immediately and intimately<br />

connected with the whole brain. The brain has ten compartments, and of these, nine are<br />

dormant and one is active. Whatever you know, whatever you think or do is coming from<br />

one-tenth of the brain. The other nine-tenths, which are in the frontal portion of the brain,<br />

are known as the inactive or sleeping brain.
