“Dark Light Consciousness” has made me more aware of how perfectly man is designed to reunite with divine consciousness. Dr. Bynum, explores the science of kundalini, that innate divine evolutionary life force that emerges from the base of the spine and surges in spirals upward to cleanse the thought of impurities and to mold thought as well to return again to the Source within itself.He wants Western psychology to open to the wisdom of higher mind that was known to ancient Egypt, India and Tibet. As he states (p. 4), “Just as psychologists have studied the subconscious and the unconscious below the ego by means of slips of the tongue, free association, and dreams, we must now study the higher unfoldment of the superconscious that functions above and beyond the ego.”He then lays out how kundalini is connected to the dark neuromelanin in the brain, nervous system, and organs, and makes an excellent case that this light-absorbing, iron-rich melanin is not only involved in the development of the brain, etc., but also able to detect the subtle movement arising from within the Earth’s core (also iron-rich). That neuromelanin is in all likelihood the physical biochemical substance of the subtle energy body or etheric body the mystics have spoken of for thousands of years.The goal of life, according to Dr. Bynum, is union with the divine, and hence the goal of spiritual practice is the raising and awakening of the energies of kundalini and the activation of a personal connection to the superconscious. More than half the book is devoted to the practical application of meditation, yoga, and breath exercises that quiet the mind and raise the kundalini.I particularly enjoyed his writing in Chapter 8 on meditation; he writes more like a poet than a scientist.
