The Serpent power being the Ṣaṭcakra-nirūpaṇa and pādukā-pañcaka

What the pranayama practices do is they are a type of cleansing activity.

They clean out the accumulated dirt or blockages in your subtle channels, which they are said to be 72,000 in number, conservatively, according to Arthur Avalon in his book, The Serpent Power.

the 1918 book but he also mentioned there are two other authentic traditions in the Vedic literature that also indicates 300,000 and another one says 350,000 subtle pathways so of course because you can't view it by the eye and no one's going to sit with a spiritual eye and start counting one two three four right and so forth so we don't know how they come to that figure but these information coming down through very highly elevated people whose mind levels have been upgraded to very high level the rishis and advanced yogis right where their capability the brain capacity and knowledge is we can we cannot even imagine and compare so you are not making pro you you're trying you're trying doing a repetition of a mantra and you're listening to the frequency and you and you're focusing on it all the time and you're attempting a connection word the portal that that frequency represent that portal will blow your brains out if it connects with your body in the standard mode.

So you don't understand that.

We are talking decades before Sitchin, decades before the ancient astronaut movement became popular, and long before people were putting photographs of DNA next to Sumerian artwork on the Internet.

William Hayes Ward had already reproduced the image in his 1910 book, The Seal Cylinders of Western Asia.

Before that, de Sarzec and Hossey had been publishing the material from Tello.

Frothingham then took the next step and asked whether the later Greek symbol associated with Hermes actually had Eastern roots.

The double serpent staff then became much more visible in American medicine.

Later historians went back and tried to sort out what had happened.

Bernice Engel wrote about Mercury's Caduceus as a medical emblem in the classical journal in 1929, and Walter J. Friedlander later went deeply into the subject in his 1992 book, The Golden Wand of Medicine.

So technically, the single serpent rod of Asclepius has the cleaner classical connection with healing.

It's just maybe people don't have sufficient, uh, command of the English language maybe.

Uh, maybe I'm offending people by saying that, right? Uh, because some people say, "Oh, I'm originally from the English this thing, and I've studied..." Like, for e- for example, um, Sir Arthur, I mean, Arthur Avalon, the pen name of Sir John Woodroffe who wrote, uh, The Serpent Power in 1918.

I don't want to go to a 1918 book right now.

I want to come to 2026, and very clearly a simple way is enlightenment, for enlightenment to happen, [clears throat] it is what the word-- Why would they use a word like enlightenment, right? It's like it wa- you was in darkness and suddenly you could see everything clearly.

1910, in the inner life, he read the Sanskrit tantric literature afterwards.

Once dissent English translations existed, Woodroffe's Serpent Power only appeared in 1919.

Chapter 5 is him sitting down with the classical texts and comparing them against his own notes.

The traditional method runs one way.

Seven are the major one along the spine.

But if you read The Serpent Power of Arthur Avalon, written in 1918, from all his research, these are the seven major, but there is other minor chakras along the spine.

I think altogether he counted about 40 to 80 of them.

And he names them, he names them there, right? And you can read, right? And in my experience, so these are theoretical things, I felt and I can still today feel the vibration of the seven major chakras.
