The scene of this work, "To the depth of awakening", VIGYAN means consciousness, BHAIRAVA means the state which is beyond consciousness. I'll be dancing through Contemporary society to Pure Consciousness and love ? The awareness of consciousness should come through the body and various physical exercises. However, it is a process and an attempt as to how much we can observe, capture, feel, intrude into the universal space by the heart and soul, and dance the eternal dance in outer space. It is also a journey to the world beyond human concept. In other words, through recognition of numerical values, techniques, physical limits, etc., the recognition and importance to the free and universal world beyond these will be expressed here. And what matters is the truth that the universe has destruction and harmony. There is no truth in dancing without these. The social education, mind, pattern, prejudice, desire, ego etc. existing in the concept of human cover the pure heart which is the nucleus, the true self's appearance, and the fundamental cosmic consciousness is not recognized. It is the fact that it is being spent. The space filled with love that dances in the pure universe space embraced by the mother's womb forever and I can not help feeling ecstasy.
