SPECULATION.,

It is my layman's opinion

that many archaelogical
mysteries of these areas
begin to make sense when

travelling ‘teachers of this
knowledge. So let's go ona

: ‘speculation rampage’ and
see where it leads.

To recap for a moment, I
mentioned previously that
the Kundalini force (a
Goddess) is represented asa
sleeping serpent lying coiled
around the base of the spine
precisely three-and-a-half
times. This is a significant
clue: three-and-a-half times.

Now for the speculation.

Zeroing in on the British
Isles we find a tremendous
amount of -evidence still
remaining which points to
the existence of a well
established mysérious
culture, the most obvious
and well known piece- of
evidence >_being Stonehenge.

We can speculate that the
Sleeping serpent was
depicted as a coil-or spiral
and that the awakened or

as a zig-zag line. It is the _

best examples being found at

If you count the number
of turns in each:spiral you'll
find that there are three-and-

of ‘the serpent coils in the
Kundalini teachings! You'll
notice too that each spiral
blends into the next one to it
which neatly expresses the
idea of ‘linked individuality’
