kundalini or pranic life force allows you to exist at all in the mammal you look at in the mirror. The tree of life is your spine and brain. And I hate to tell you that you eat from the fruit of the knowledge of good and evil every day....its called duality...this allows for making choices between the two through discrimination.

The kundalini enlivens the body through the chakra system which becomes the physical nervous system. You don't understand it so you fear it or have been conditioned to do so.
