Precepts of Alchemy 03 Prakriti

Explains how the Divine Mother Kundalini is related to the awakening of consciousness, the three gunas, the Kabbalah, and much more. "The Great Prakriti is my womb; in that I place the seed; thence, oh Bharata, is the birth of all beings! Whatever forms are produced, oh Kountreya, in any womb whatsoever, the Prakriti is their womb and I am the seed-giving father. Sattva, Rajas and Tamas these three Gunas (aspects or qualities) born of the Prakriti, oh mighty-armed one, bind fast the embodied to the body. Of these Gunas, Sattva which from its stainlessness is luminous and good, binds by attachment to happiness and by attachment to knowledge, oh, impeccable one. Know thou, oh, Kountreya, that Rajas is of the nature of passion, the source of desire and attachment; this Guna binds fast the embodied being to action. But know thou, oh, Bharata, that Guna Tamas is born of ignorance, deluding all embodied beings; it binds fast the embodied being, by heedlessness, laziness, and sleep [asleep consciousness, the sleep of consciousness]." - The Bhagavad-Gita
