What I learned though, is that morality can come more easily to those who have higher consciousness, who know that they and all other beings are divine spirit, that we each are part of the all, that Nature is sacred, and all people are worthy of freedom. Higher principles are grasped through intuitive realization. Mystical experience is the root of religion and of morality, even if the two are not dependent on each other. Religion and the arts/music can be avenues whereby people can approach higher consciousness, as can psychedelics, and various spiritual practices whether these are considered religious or not.
These experiences can come at any time, but they are certainly more common during Awakening periods, especially early-awakening periods. In the history of the USA, the mystical aspect of Awakening is gradually superceding the traditional revival type of Awakening, but both are still part of the turning.
My sound seems to be not working, or youtube is down. But, the snake is an ancient and venerable symbol of the energies within us, especially in kundalini tradition, and it's found in western traditions too. The caduceus is the symbol of the spiritual channels and centers that we call the chakras.
