The awakening of these centers means a gradual expansion of awareness, until it reaches the cosmic awareness. Each center has its own beauty and gracefulness.

Meditation is the procedure to rearrange, harmonize, activate, and integrate the individual life energy with the cosmic life energy. — Amit Ray

It was God's purpose which he set forth in Christ as a plan for the fullness of time, to unite all things in him, things on heaven and things on earth'. — Bede Griffiths
