What is the biological imperative for the next step in mankind's evolution? Are drugs an aid to achieving self-discovery? Is the sex act as we know it evolutionary or entropic? What can we do to change society? Are our 'leaders' misleading us?

All these questions and nearly fifty more are answered by Gopi Krishna in this extremely lucid and informative book, which offers specifics on the physiological and psychological changes accompanying the awakening of Kundalini.

"Higher Consciousness and Kundalini is a book for those who are seriously seeking a way out of the bitterness, hate, separation and chaos and the disillusionment emerging out of a crumbling world order. --This text refers to an alternate Paperback edition.
