THE SCIENCE OF HOLY FIRE
Light is the body's principle communication system. Light travels through the microtubules, DNA and helical collagen fibers at superluminal speeds. It is the quantum jump in light or "holy fire" during Kundalini Awakening that constitutes the enlightenment process. It is obvious by the extreme shift in energy production and savant-like genius that kundalini actives are graced with that the mitochondria are operating in a different mode than our regular flatland biochemistry. Since I don't know what that metabolic shift is, during my research into my own symptoms while writing Biology of Kundalini I assumed it was simply a dual mode of both sugar and fat burning. Producing both more ATP, more heat and more free radicals.

I came to that conclusion because the extreme energy shift of kundalini awakening tends to burn up body fat as well as dismantling the low-grade, inferior tissue that cannot convey the "light" adequately. That is the light of holy fire "burns" that which is blocking its path. This “burning” of the body in “holy fire” is the main reason why kundalini can eliminate PTSD tension (dis-ease) in the brain and connective tissue...giving us some relief from our traumatic history. I assume kundalini awakening is a natural process, similar to puberty—however in our gross-material, toxic and devitalized cooked food culture...very few people get to experience the deeper more profound capacities of our remarkable human potential.

Atoms are energy or spin density in spacetime...thus we might consider biochemistry as crystalline geometries of energy density that house "spirit." The more aligned with cosmic Nature that the atomic geometries of the liquid crystal are resonating in, the brighter the spirit and the greater the gifts of divine grace. When our holons are perfected in their relationship to the star tetrahedron grain of the universe our biochemistry can evolve beyond the levels of resistance and contraction of consciousness that constitute regular consciousness.

The ecstasy of spirit-ual awakening is that of all of our atoms 'singing' in harmony with the Universal Vibration (God). That is, we are fully plugged into the cosmos without noise, dissonance or separation…this is Christ or Cosmic Consciousness. DMT is the molecular key to unlocking the geometric structure of spacetime so that we can pass through the threshold of conditioned reality to tap into the mind of God. Engaging this geometric dance to the drum beat of the universe is what spiritual “practices” are all about. Over the course of our evolution humans have learned to experience the transcendental through fasting, detoxification, the raw Essene diet, dancing, music, poetry, singing, chanting, prayer, meditation, yoga, sungazing, exercise and nature.

The science of spirit is the most important subject which humanity could be researching, however till now it has largely been ignored by modern scientific inquiry! Rather than conventional biophysics and biochemistry, we will need to come up with a new branch of science that includes the epigenetic studies of Bruce Lipton, transcendental studies of Joe Dispenza, and the quantum biology/neurology of Stuart Hameroff. The exotic, supernal, quantum nature of the science of "spiritual chemistry" means that we need new language and the meters and devises...and multiple laboratories to research the evolutionary process. The mystery of spirit is infinite but we can at least begin the work. Funny how humanity has forgotten the most important branch of scientific investigation...and is suffering cultural breakdown because economics and materialism has won out over spirit. This is why spiritual science can only be done by people who have had major awakenings. Spiritual virgins cannot do spiritual science.

Just what is the nature of “holy fire” that has been talked about for thousands of years. During an awakening the heart expansions can generate such extreme heat in the heart that it can be like a burning atomic furnace. It's our heart muscle cells – with about 5,000 mitochondria per cell – that contain far more mitochondria than any other organ in body! Conversely, the number of mitochondria in human liver cells is about 1000–2000 mitochondria per cell, making up 1/5 of the cell volume. Since the pelvis becomes superheated during kundalini awakening the sex organs also must have a very high number of mitochondria.

Brown adipose tissue (BAT) is a thermogenic tissue, the main function of which is heat production, or nonshivering thermogenesis when activated by cold exposure. Non-shivering thermogenesis involves a process called proton leak, whereby mitochondria can generate heat. Brown fat is found at its highest levels in babies, when we are more susceptible to cold, but as we age brown fat levels slowly levels reduce. It is apparent that brown fat energy burning may become active during kundalini awakening...considering the places where it is found in the body...and the fact that it is brown because of the high number of mitochondria in brown adipose tissue. Thermogenesis...no doubt explains the "heat" of kundalini fire.


We see in this image the areas of brown fat in the body having been activated by cold shock. The 25-year-old male fasted for 12 hours and was kept in an air-conditioned room at 19°C with light clothing with his legs intermittently on an ice block. One hour after this cold treatment he was given an intravenous injection of Fludeoxyglucose18F, (18F-FDG) and kept under the same cold condition. One hour after the injection a whole-body PET/CT scan was performed in a room at 24°C. 18F-FDG is the standard radiotracer for imaging the tissue uptake of glucose. The brown fat areas are feeding the brain heat and glucose. http://diabetes.diabetesjournals.org/content/58/7/1526.figures-only

The massive temperature increase in the body during certain cycles of kundalini activation correspond to the areas of the body where brown fat (high mitochondria) is concentrated. These areas include the sympathetic trunks long the outside of the spine, the sex organs and pelvic girdle, surrounding the kidneys and the pancreas, the heart, the shoulders, between the shoulder blades, the neck and supraclavicular area. These brown fat areas of potential thermogenic heat generation act to keep the brain warm under cold stress or fasting; or heated blood to the brain during kundalini awakening!

The dual mode of fat and sugar burning in the mitochondria never felt quite right to explain the massive increase in energy during kundalini awakening, as I couldn’t explain how both glycolysis and lipolysis could occur at the same time, when it takes 72 hours of carbohydrate cessation to kick start fat burning (ketosis). Lipolysis, or use of fat for fuel, takes place in the cytoplasm. The resulting fatty acids are oxidized by β-oxidation into acetyl CoA, which is then used by the Krebs cycle. The glycerol that is released from triglycerides after lipolysis directly enters the glycolysis pathway as Dihydroxyacetone phosphate (DHAP).

Shapeshifting Fat—White adipose tissue can turn into brown fat tissue during the challenge of cold exposure or fasting, thus maintaining core body temperature. The browning of white adipose tissue is associated with heightened energy expenditure and with increased sympathetic innervation. In this way the activation of the nervous system to mobilize the organism to prepare for potential threat to life. The glucoregulatory hormones insulin and leptin directly interact in the brain to produce nervous-system signaling both to white and brown adipose. Stimulation of afferent nerves innervating white fat increases brown fat temperature by raising lipolysis.  

Regular exposure to low temperatures increases the activity of a gene named UCP1, which seems to guide the conversion of white fat into beige fat. Brown fat can burn at least five times more stored energy than beige fat. Exercise increases UCP1 activity in brown fat, making it more active. A hormone called irisin, which is released from muscle cells after exercise, coaxes white fat to behave like brown fat. Other natural stimulators to the browning of white fat include Human Growth Hormone (HGH), Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor (BDNF a molecule that usually promotes growth of neurons), and SIRT1, a NAD+-dependent protein deacetylase, that is an important regulator in cellular stress response and energy metabolism.

Thermogenesis and Kundalini Awakening
Brown fat cells decrease in number as we grow from infancy, but adults still have a small number of brown fat cells that are not very active. When the body senses cold, the brain releases the excitatory neurotransmitter norepinephrine (also known as noradrenaline), which stimulates a receptor in brown fat cells. This triggers a cascade of biochemistry leading to the production of a protein called Uncoupling Factor-1 (UCP1), which travels into the mitochondria of brown fat cells.

Panic attacks due to excessive release of norepinephrine is a common early sign that kundalini is awakening.  The nervous system grows through expansion and contraction cycles, flatland science calls this bipolar. Panic attacks are almost an essential part of the initial stages of awakening...you just have to learn to ride the waves and integrate/meta-adapt to the symptoms without trying to suppress them.

When the brain signals to brown fat go into thermogenesis mode, the cells stiffen and then the brown fat consumes more calories from fat and sugars and radiates them away as heat. The protein myosin causes fat and muscle cells to became roughly twice as stiff when stimulated and UCP1’s activity is directly tied to this increase in cell tension. This cell stiffening plays a big role in the heat generation of brown fat cells, by increased calories burning in thermogenesis.
A normal cell uses mitochondria to turn nutrients from the diet into energy that is mostly stored in the ATP energy molecule. But in brown fat cells, Uncoupling Factor-1 short-circuits that battery, causing it to heat up instead of producing ATP. With UCP1 activated in the mitochondria, brown fat use the fat and sugars from the diet as fuel for heat production in the mitochondria. In a circular feedback loop, the hyperactivation of the central nervous system would stimulate thermogenesis, which in turn perpetuates the hyperactivation of the activating sympathetic side of the nervous system.
I propose that the heightened sympathetic activation and norepinephrine release during the early stages of kundalini awakening causes the brown fat cells to go into "heat generation" mode, and that this produces many of the kundalini symptoms...such as massive heat, increased nervous system efficiency and associated heightened consciousness, heart expansion, opening of the cardiovascular system, expanded sensory awareness and psychic abilities, spontaneous breathing, rapid weight loss, loss of menstruation cycles, detoxification, GI tract changes, digestive disruption, and significant loosening of connective tissue.
Tummo (inner heat) Meditation and Pranayama (yogic breathing)
The Inner Fire Meditation or Tummo is an ancient meditation technique originating thousands of years ago in the Himalayas. Tummo meditation is undertaken in wet clothes on the naked body in cold temperatures, with emphasis on the breath to trigger thermogenesis. Regular tummo meditation enhances the body's brown fat heat production so that this uncomfortable technique becomes easier, while burning away samscaras, and the toxins ensconced in the fat deposits. Besides enhancing spiritual evolution Tummo would also be advantageous for diabetes and obesity, as well as heavy metal detoxification. Because of this building and activation of the body's brown fat Tummo and forms of alternating hot/cold therapies are likely to assist in the activation of kundalini awakening proper.


MICROTUBULES AND COHERENT VIBRATION STATES

As the production of the energy-fuel molecules ATP and GTP in the mitochondria goes up the cells of the body emit more UV and infrared light and this produces a strong electrostatic field (aura). The kundalini lit body literally “glows” with holy fire. The increased UV light excites the microtubule tubulin electrons so they become quasi-free. While the infrared emission supplies vibratory energy to microtubules…this combined with the strong EMF organizes the water around the microtubules increasing the intensity of longitudinal vibrations. Coherency and information transfer is enhanced as the ordering of the molecules is perfected.

Nonlinear structures and mechanical anisotropy produce a strong static electric field from mitochondria. Most proteins are electrically polar (dipole moment). The vibrations of electrically polar structures constitute a source of electric oscillations and EM field in living cells. One of the properties of nonlinear system is its ability to transform chaotic energy to coherent. The spiral atomic construction of microtubules and the nonlinearity of their vibrations transforms random thermal energy into quasi coherent energy – consciousness or Spirit.

The more coherent (coordinated) our vibrational energy the more “Presence” we embody.

Frequency Vibrations: Energy is supplied to the microtubules from the mitochondria. The electromagnetic field of cells generated from lowest frequencies up to the optical region can: contribute to temporal and spatial organization of structures and processes in cells, mediating intracellular and intercellular interactions.
Microtubules are located near the cell’s energy generator…the Mitochondria. In cells microtubules fulfill all conditions for generation of the cellular electromagnetic field:
Electrically highly polar structures.
Energy supply
Guanosine triphosphate (GTP) hydrolysis
Motor protein movement
Released “wasted” energy for from mitochondria
Vibration modes in kHz – GHz region

Mitochondria are the principle source of photon generation and emission in the body. The physical mechanism of generation of cellular EM field is generated by axial longitudinal vibration modes of microtubule, with 20% of energy released from mitochondria as “vibrations” (or energy vibes). Microtubules are located in close proximity to the mitochondria and exposed to strong electric field (3 MV/m) from the mitochondria. Mitochondria are packed with interfaces folded like those of a concertina (folded inner membrane or cristae) which produce the strong organization of water. Microtubules have a hydrophilic (water loving) surface. Such surfaces organize water into layers, forming exclusion zones; there are clear zones of structured water around the microtubules separating them from each other. This layer of structured water reduces the damping of microtubule vibrations.

Mitochondria convert chemical energy from the food we eat into an energy form that the cell can use, namely Adenosine 5'-triphosphate, or ATP. This process is called oxidative phosphorylation. Oxidative phosphorylation, the process where electron transport from the energy precursors from the citric acid cycle leads to the phosphorylation of ADP, producing ATP.  The Krebs cycle produces a chemical called NADH which is used by enzymes embedded in the mitochondria cristae to produce ATP. In ATP molecules, energy is stored in the form of chemical bonds, and when these chemical bonds are broken, the energy can be used for “work”. The efficiency of ATP production in the mitochondria is only 40%. The rest of the energy is released in the form of phonons (sound) and photons (light) in infrared and optical region.

Biological DielectrophoresisDielectrophoresis is a phenomenon in which a force is exerted on a dielectric particle when it is subjected to a non-uniform electric field. This effect is most pronounced around cells in mitosis (cell division) according to number of attracted particles. During cell division there is increased synchronized photon emission or coherent (lasering) of light. Free radicals or reactive oxygen species (ROS) are a source of chemiluminescence, that are electron excitations or luminescent reactions which are source of photon emission in visible and UV light.  The more active the mitochondria are in there production of ATP the more potential for pathological oxidative damage by free radicals.

In the mitochondrial free radical theory of aging reactive oxygen species (free radicals) are produced in mitochondria, as a byproduct of energy production. These highly charged particles damage DNA, fats, and proteins. Because of the damage caused by free radicals, the functional parts of mitochondria they can become inefficient due to oxidation, more free radicals are produced, further worsening the damage. Free radicals, which can cause damage to DNA, are produced during ATP synthesis. Because mitochondria lack the same protective mechanisms found in the nucleus of the cell, the DNA within mitochondria is more susceptible to damage than the nuclear genome.  

In conclusion, there are several origins to Holy Fire: In the kundalini activation of the bodymind we have various sources of increased light (fire) production: Increased mitosis (cell division) related to the breakdown and transfiguration of the body. Increased ATP production. Increased fat burning via thermogenesis in the activated brown fat and increased free radical production due to the heighted energy generation.

“Someday, after mastering the winds, the waves, the tides and gravity, we shall harness for God the energies of love, and then, for a second time in the history of the world, man will have discovered fire.” Pierre Teilhard de Chardin

This is an extraordinary paper on cell-to-cell communication based on coordinated cellular vibrations and electrical fields describing the role of EMFs in cell growth and regulation.

Special Thanks to the amazing researcher Ovidiu Brazdău. His question on the role of DMT and microtubules in kundalini energy and cosmic consciousness sparked off this line of inquiry into thermogenesis as a source of energy production during kundalini awakening.
