Akasha is the unmanifested, the “nothing” or emptiness that fills the vacuum of space. Saints, sages, yogis, and other seekers have come to realize that there is one vibratory source that is the root of all scientific and spiritual investigation.
Every scientist who looks deeply into the universe, and every mystic who looks deeply within the self, eventually comes face to face with the same thing: The Primordial Spiral.
The spiral has often been represented by the snake, the downward current, while the bird or blooming lotus flower has represented the upward current or transcendence.
We live our lives pursuing happiness and freedom “out there” as if it is a commodity. We have become slaves to our own desires and craving. This is Maya, illusion, the endless play of form.
