The Stunningly Hopeful News of Kundalini, Higher States of Consciousness, and a Natural Science based on the Law of Love.
Gopi Krishna (1903-1984) said "Imagined in the context of the potentialities present in Kundalini, the vision of the future is so alluring, so full of beauty and majesty, so replete with astounding achievements and possibilities for the race, that it is not possible to draw even a distant image of it.” Kundalini is the doorway to a higher capacity of our minds, provides a window into eternal life, and will lead eventually to a united world.
Walter Russell (1871-1963) advanced the concept of a Natural Science, based upon a law of love, and like Gopi Krishna, believed that human beings have the potential to develop both the genius state of mind, and higher states of consciousness. He believed this is a universe of mind, rather than a universe of matter and substance. Furthermore he believed that acceptance and implementation of this Natural Science would one day lead to the transmutation of elements and what he called the age of transmutation. He stated this would eventually lead to the ability to produce unlimited amounts of free hydrogen as an energy source and also result in solar radiation being turned into solar energy generation in unlimited amounts. This would help solve humankind’s clean energy problems and assist in the development of new metals and other natural resources.
Gopi Krishna as well as Walter Russell and his wife Lao, believed that humanity's development of a higher faculty of the mind, the near zenith of which they termed Cosmic Consciousness, was critical in order for humanity to transcend its current troubles, and reach a more peaceful, unified, and higher level of civilization based on love and service. They believed the Cosmic Conscious mind might represent what has been referred to metaphorically in the spiritual, religious, and secular literature of the world as Paradise, Bliss, Samadhi, Nirvana, the Holy Grail, the Fountain of Youth, and finally the Treasure Within.
Today, humanity is on the brink of taking a deeper step into a whole new world, a fascinating inner universe of our minds; a universe which in size and intrigue dwarfs the physical universe. New answers to our present day problems as well as new hope and possibilities lie concealed within this unseen, unbounded universe.
Like the different acts of a play, Scott will:
1) Talk about important life segments of his journey to a higher state of consciousness (narrative and some short poetry readings accompanied by music);
2) Share some of his experiences that comport with some of Gopi Krishna's and Walter Russell's key conceptual points and higher consciousness experiences and;
3) Describe how his surprise entrance into the world of Kundalini opened up a whole new view of creation as well as understanding of the meaning, purpose, and unity of life.
Gopi Krishna experienced the Cosmic Conscious state of mind and put forth the concept that Kundalini represents a divine-like biological mechanism and potential in the body of all human beings, and is responsible for the further evolution of the human brain and the development of this new faculty of the mind. Krishna stated that there is a preordained divine destination for human beings - the Cosmic Conscious state of mind.
Walter Russell, who also experienced Cosmic Consciousness, advanced the concept of a divine-like Natural Science based on what he termed a Law of Love, which Scott believes could represent the science behind this higher faculty of mind - and is a super science that subsumes our current physical science and quantum physics. Most importantly, both Mr. Krishna and Dr. Russell felt that their concepts could be proven in the laboratory of science, and higher states of consciousness could be proven by individuals in the laboratory of their own experiences.
Scott sees their concepts as complementary in some key areas and will point out some of the most important similarities and synergies between their work, as well as some of the key differences. He believes the concept of Kundalini provides key support for Walter Russell's groundbreaking Natural Science which provides a hopeful, lasting, and harmonizing scientific view of the universe's workings and future. Scott will discuss how these two great men came into his life and what influence their teachings have had on him.
Finally he believes the concepts put forth by Gopi Krishna and Walter Russell, collectively, represent a bridge from an uncertain and dangerous present to a bright future for the human race.

Through speaking, outreach, film, poetry, and other creative expression, his goal is to entertain and inform people about the gifts and profound importance of Gopi Krishna's work, Kundalini, higher states of consciousness, as well as key aspects of Walter Russell and Lao Russell's natural science and work. His interests include visiting museums and historical sites, traveling, listening to holiday music and oldies, and going to movies. He enjoys sports, hiking, and attending 12 step meetings. His greatest love is his daughter.
