At the age of sixteen Aviilokín K'shi had a kundalini awakening, which is a primal, cosmic, evolutionary power located at the base of the spine. When awoken, it nourishes a person's evolutionary potential. He attained a modest degree of mediumship; in his contact with "the other side" he was told that meditation is a developed facet of his soul, and that he should give in to it. He was given methods of meditation, which ultimately allowed him to reintegrate the mystical cultivation of his previous lifetimes; including that of the Taoist path. He feels the essence of Taoism is the most relevant gift he wishes to pass on to others, because its emphasis lies so strongly on transcending dogma and human bias, becoming one with something universal in a very free and individualistic way.
