..."Down at the base of the spinal column, according to the chakra system, there is what is called the kundalini, which is the serpent power. And the symbol of the serpent power is an inverted triangle with a phallus upright and erect, and the sleeping serpent coiled all the way around the phallus. That is, in other words, ‘involution’ to be absolutely involved. The sex symbol is used again because sex stands for, symbolically, complete involvement. When you have gotten in, the trick is to get out. So then, the process of yoga is represented as waking up that sleeping serpent, who is under the sleep of maya, captivated by illusion, and thinks that the world really exists. In other words the female echo of himself or the male echo of herself has captivated you, memory has caught you, and you think its all really there and you don't realize there is only the eternal now."

Nature is not our enemy, to be raped and conquered. Nature is ourselves, to be cherished and explored. -Terence Mckenna
