In Session 1: Episode 10, David Wilcock and Corey Goode discussed the importance of the Pineal Gland which is the source of neuro-melanin. Egyptian pharoahs wore two snakes on their crowns to show that they were enlightened. The snakes represented the energy that rises through the spine and ignites in the Pineal Gland. "Melaninated people" are people who have melanin in the skin -- giving them various shades of color. However, everyone has some degree of neuromelanin.
The concept of the two "snakes" of energy rising through the spine to the crown chakra is depicted in the caduceus, the symbol of Western medicine. However, its vital significance for consciousness is never explained!
Amazon says about the book Dark Light Consciousness: Melanin, Serpent Power, and the Luminous Matrix of Reality by Edward Bruce Bynum, Ph.D.,
​
"Within each of us lies the potential to activate a personal connection to the superconscious. Called “Ureaus” in ancient Egyptian texts and “Kundalini” in ancient Hindu yoga traditions, our innate serpent power of spiritual transcendence inhabits the base of the spine in its dormant state. When awakened, it unfurls along the spinal column to the brain, connecting individual consciousness to the consciousness of the universe enfolded within the dark matter of space. At the root of creativity and spiritual genius across innumerable cultures and civilizations, this intelligent force reveals portals that enfold time, space, and the luminous matrix of reality itself.
Combining physics, neuroscience, and biochemistry with ancient traditions from Africa and India, Edward Bruce Bynum, Ph.D., explores the ancient Egyptian science of the Ureaus and reveals how it is intimately connected to dark matter and to melanin, a light-sensitive, energy-conducting substance found in the brain, nervous system, and organs of all higher life-forms. He explains how the dark light of melanin serves as the biochemical infrastructure for the subtle energy body, just as dark matter, together with gravity, holds the galaxies and constellations together."

Restoring Ancient Egyptian Knowledge Now
Dr. Bynum says in the video below that his goal is to include ancient Egyptian wisdom in the scientific worldview now..
​
In his books and in the video, Dr. Bynum shows the importance of the Pineal Gland and Melanin in Enlightenment needed now as we take steps to become a galactic civilization and raise our consciousness for the Solar Flash in 2027-2028. Dr. Bynum explains the profundity of African knowledge going back thousands of years to the time of ancient Egypt that has so revolutionized the world in the past -- and can again today! He explains that both psychology and psychiatry were born in ancient Egypt. Western civilization is the only major culture for which Enlightenment has not been the goal. The Principles of Ma'at and the wisdom of Thoth kept ancient Egypt stable, prosperous, and the light of the world for thousands of years.

Dr. Bynum explains that psychology and psychiatry were born in Egypt thousands of years ago - as Freud and Jung understood! His goal now is to deepen the scientific worldview now by including the wisdom of ancient Egypt. He shows that the word "psyche" comes from the Egyptian word "su khe".

Ubuntu: In Context of African Culture
​
Ubuntu is based on the ancient Egyptian concept of The Principles of Maat. Dr. Edward Bruce Bynum discusses the concept of Ubuntu in his book The African Unconscious: Roots of Ancient Mysticism and Modern Psychology. Dr. Bynum explains the context in which the key Ubuntu phrase "I am because we are and since we are, therefore I am" arises.
Dr. Bynum points out under "Communal Consciousness": "Another one of the primary matrices or reflections of the African unconscious can be found in the emphasis on group or tribal or community consciousness as opposed to egoic or individalized or autonomous consciousness...There is a subtle bias toward nurturance and interconnectedness with the wider ecology, a relational and resonate affinity in one's perceptions with an emphasis, but not negation, of objectification and market values...Or said another way, "I am because we are and since we are, therefore I am". The emphasis is on racial and collective or community consciousness and it is seen as prior and primary to individuated consciousness".
