Why is it that people today have lost contact with the spiritual world? In part, it is because they do not perform fire rituals daily. Fire is a beautiful thing. The way it dances, you cannot dance. It is a beautiful sight. When you constantly watch its dance, it invokes that dance in you as well, and in the Kundalini the power to know the beyond that lies within you. That is how fire brings all of the mantras into you, into your memory.
