The Poet’s Corner, 570 Main Street, New Rochelle, welcomes author Dr. Edward Bruce Bynum, who will lead a workshop on Saturday, January 12 based on his most recent book, Dark Light Consciousness: Melanin, Serpent Power, and the Luminous Matrix of Reality. Dr. Bynum will lecture from 10 a.m.to noon, and then open for questions and discussion from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m.


As stated on the back cover of his book, “Within each of us lies the potential to activate a personal connection to the superconscious. Called “Ureaus” in ancient Egyptian texts and “Kundalini” in ancient Hindu yoga traditions, our innate serpent power of spiritual transcendence inhabits the base of the spine in its dormant state. When awakened, it unfurls along the spinal column to the brain, connecting individual consciousness to the consciousness of the universe enfolded within the dark matter of space. At the root of creativity and spiritual genius across innumerable cultures and civilizations, this intelligent force reveals portals that enfold time, space, and the luminous matrix of reality itself.”
