Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Yoga Consciousness in Ancient Mystery Religions provides a fascinating new perspective on some traditional fairy tales that we all thought we knew. We are taught from an early age that these stories can give us useful guidance for life, even if they seem obscure. Tony Butcher shows us how to unravel the meanings, drawing on the ancient teachings of the mystery schools and, in particular, the teaching of Maharishi Mahesh Yogi. The first section of the book takes us through the philosophy behind it all, originating in the writings of Thoth (also known as Hermes), upon which ancient Egyptian teaching was based. Transcendence, various states of consciousness and the Yoga Sutras all pave the way towards enlightenment and freedom from the bonds of the material, earthly world.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fasting An Exceptional Human Experience Since prehistory, fasting has been used in various ways as a means of transformation. As a spiritual practice, it is the oldest and most common form of asceticism and is found in virtually every religion and spiritual tradition. In psychology, studies have suggested that fasting can alleviate the symptoms of some psychiatric conditions, including depression and schizophrenia. In medicine, fasting is one of the most promising therapies, with research suggesting that fasting can cause certain drugs, such as chemotherapy, to work better while reducing drug side-effects. Hunger striking, sometimes called political fasting, may be the most powerful application of fasting. Proof of this occurred in 1948 when Gandhis hunger strike caused millions of Hindus and Muslims in India to cease their fighting. As a practical guide, Randi Fredricks, Ph.D. provides detailed information on the different types of fasting, where people fast, the physiological process of fasting, and the contraindications and criticisms of fasting. Using existing literature and original research, Dr. Fredricks focuses on the transformative characteristics of fasting in the contexts of psychology, medicine, and spirituality. The relationship between fasting and transpersonal psychology is examined, with a focus on peak experiences, self-realization, and other exceptional human experiences. Dr. Fredricks demonstrates how fasting can be profoundly therapeutic, create global paradigm shifts, and provide personal mystical phenomena.

These teachings of the Ancient Egyptian city of Waset (Thebes) were the crowning achievement of the Sages of Ancient Egypt and culminated in Amun Religion based on the God Amun and his company of gods and goddesses which represent special mystical teachings that lead the practitioner to spiritual enlightenment. They establish the standard mystical keys for understanding the profound mystical symbolism of the Triad of human consciousness.

Book excerpt: The foremost historian of Greek religion provides the first comprehensive, comparative study of a little-known aspect of ancient religious beliefs and practices. Secret mystery cults flourished within the larger culture of the public religion of Greece and Rome for roughly a thousand years. This book is neither a history nor a survey but a comparative phenomenology, concentrating on five major cults. In defining the mysteries and describing their rituals, membership, organization, and dissemination, Walter Burkert displays the remarkable erudition we have come to expect of him; he also shows great sensitivity and sympathy in interpreting the experiences and motivations of the devotees.

This book was written to help us rediscover that lost wisdom and to incorporate the concepts of the sages and the mystics into our lives. The next parts are some of the new manuscripts I have included which talk about some of the differences between eastern and western religious thought and the ideas of the Islamic mystics, in which their thoughts and ideas could help us all solve our problems with radical Islamic ideology.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cutting-edge thinkers on the origins of civilization, the Giza pyramids, pre-Columbian and early America, and the power of human consciousness • With contributions by David Frawley, Geoff Stray, Joscelyn Godwin, Daniel Pinchbeck, Antoine Gigal, and others • Topics range from the origins of the Inca to the architecture of the Giza plateau to unified theories of physics and consciousness • Companion volume to Lost Knowledge of the Ancients As we pull back the curtain from the European version of history, we discover the vast depth of knowledge of our ancient ancestors--knowledge that not only dispels our image of them as primitive peoples but also corresponds with the forefront of modern science, philosophy, and spirituality. With contributions by David Frawley, Geoff Stray, Joscelyn Godwin, Daniel Pinchbeck, Antoine Gigal, and other provocative, cutting-edge thinkers, this collection of essays commissioned by Graham Hancock, bestselling author of Fingerprints of the Gods, represents the latest, often controversial findings in alternative science, history, archaeology, and consciousness research. Covering topics ranging from the origins of the Inca and the secrets hidden in Vedic literature, to the architecture of the Giza pyramids and the Sphinx, to unified theories of physics and consciousness, this book shows how, by recovering our lost history, we too can experience the higher consciousness and advanced wisdom of the ancients.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Only through spirituality can man's meanness and smallness be conquered and his divine nature manifested. To transform materialistic influences requires a gigantic spiritual effort and living spiritual inspiration. This can only be achieved by a great spiritual master. Jesus Christ, who, by millions of people is regarded as an incarnation of God, came into our world to teach us spiritual truths by which we can be free from bondage and attain immortality. His teaching does not consist of mere words but is based on his own realization in silent prayer. His spirituality was not like something grafted on his personality; reality and strength were exhibited in his mode of life and his activities. He came to this world as the Divine Light to show the path which leads to God to human beings who forgot about him in their deep immersion in the vast ocean of worldliness. His spiritual life inspires us. This book is an attempt to study the teachings and activities of Jesus Christ for our spiritual development. Interreligious learning is the norm today, and we have much to learn from how people in other faiths see and interpret even our most fundamental and treasured beliefs. But we need to learn well; we need stellar examples of deep learning. Shyam Sundar Goswami's Jesus Christ and Yoga goes deep into the mystery of Jesus in great detail and with great imagination, drawing on every resource available to the Goswami. Jesus is seen differently indeed from this fresh perspective--even as yoga itself is transformed in the light of Christ the great yogi. Goswami's classic study, accessible once more, is now more timely than ever. Francis X. Clooney, SJ, Parkman Professor of Divinity, Harvard University Sri Goswami's remarkable familiarity with the teachings of Jesus, and his citations of corresponding teachings by the seers of ancient India, offer a significant learning experience for both Christians and members of Eastern religions. The notable resonance, albeit not complete, between classical yoga teaching and aspects of Christian theology and spiritual practice takes yoga far beyond being just a physical "feel-good experience" into being a means for acquiring divine knowledge and deepening one's relationship with God. Fr. Thomas Ryan, CSP, author of Prayer of Heart and Body, Meditation and Yoga as Christian Spiritual Practice

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first collection of Leary’s writings devoted entirely to the research phase of his career, 1960 to 1965 • Presents Leary’s early scientific articles and scholarly essays, including those on the Harvard Psilocybin Project, the Concord Prison Project, and the Good Friday Experiment • With an editor’s introduction that examines the Harvard Drug Scandal in detail as well as a critical preface for each essay On May 27, 1963, Dr. Timothy Leary and Dr. Richard Alpert were dismissed from Harvard University’s Psychology Department--a watershed event marking the moment when psychedelic drugs were publicly demonized and driven underground. Today, little is known about the period in the early 1960s when LSD and psilocybin were not only legal but also actively researched at universities. Presenting the first collection of Leary’s writings devoted entirely to the research phase of his career, 1960 to 1965, this book offers rare articles from Leary’s time as a professor in Harvard’s Psychology Department, including writings from the Harvard Psilocybin Project, the Concord Prison Project, and the Good Friday Experiment. These essays--coauthored with Richard Alpert, Huston Smith, Ralph Metzner, and other psychedelic research visionaries--explore the nature of creativity and the therapeutic, spiritual, and religious aspects of psilocybin and LSD. Featuring Leary’s scientific articles and a rare account of his therapeutic approach, “On Existential Transaction Theory,” the book also includes Leary’s final essay from his time at Harvard, “The Politics of Consciousness,” as well as controversial articles published shortly after his dismissal. With an editor’s introduction examining the Harvard Drug Scandal and a critical preface to each essay, this book of seminal early writings by Leary--appearing in unabridged form--shows why he quickly became an articulate spokesperson for consciousness expansion and an iconic figure for the generation that came of age in the 1960s.

The book that demystifies and uncovers the true state of Enlightened beings. This book is based on Turiya,which is the highest potential a human can aspire to achieve in this world. The teachings and expositions in this book are unlike anything you've ever seen. Special paragraphs were written with the underlying purpose of dismantling the illusory constructs that your ego-mind has created. The unseen and immeasurable existence of who we are, once discovered, awakens an instantaneous insight that everything is a speck of dust in comparison to the Ultimate Reality. But even this speck of dust is worth celebrating once we know our timeless Being. After all, life is supposed to be a celebration of love. Turiya makes that celebration possible! The natural manifestation of enlightenment is truly the highest celebration in life. This book reveals the truth about how enlightenment manifests in Self-Realized human beings in this world in terms of: body - energy - mind - ego - kundalini - consciousness - samadhis - behaviors - psychological traits - thoughts - tendencies - emotions - apparent desires - residual habits - perception - duality - non-duality - life - dreams - sleep - death. And it will also disclose: What is the God State and why it is so critical in our spiritual journey; The reason why the perfect "being" or perfect "Guru" doesn't truly exist; The usually erroneously interpreted "degrees of Enlightenment;" How is it to live from permanent Samadhi; A practical and comprehensive guide to the process of surrender and presence--the two essential ingredients of your spiritual journey; How spiritual practice clears away the subconscious debris, purifying the psyche; Why restlessness commands your life and how to go beyond it; And much more. It is time you dive into the ocean of bliss within--with no oxygen tank--or do you prefer to stay in the arid desert of dissatisfaction? It's your choice--now or never.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How can one investigate phenomenal consciousness? As in other areas of science, the investigation of consciousness aims for a more precise knowledge of its phenomena, and the discovery of general truths about their nature. This requires the development of appropriate first-person, second-person and third-person methods. This book introduces some of the creative ways in which these methods can be applied to different purposes, e.g. to understanding the relation of consciousness to brain, to examining or changing consciousness as such, and to understanding the way consciousness is influenced by social, clinical and therapeutic contexts. To clarify the strengths and weaknesses of different methods and to demonstrate the interplay of methodology and epistemology, the book also suggests a number of maps of the consciousness studies terrain that place different approaches to the study of consciousness into a broader, interdisciplinary context. (Series A).

Book excerpt: The Teachings in this book are a modernized restoration of the ancient "Mysteries of the Light." The book is a standalone do-it-yourself training manual for elevating and expanding consciousness and experiencing a spiritual transformation by sun gazing. Spiritual transformation is the process by which a human being becomes a spiritual being. Someone solely identified with their body and personality/ego becomes identified with their Soul, or Higher Self. Sun gazing is not a religion. It's a spiritual practice like meditation, prayer, fasting, and various types of yoga that can be applied by anyone no matter their religious belief, philosophy, or worldview. Sun gazing is perfect for the undeclared aspiring mystic. Spiritual refers to matters pertaining to the spirit and does not imply any necessary religious connotations. By sun gazing in the proper manner with the correct attitude, one can harmonize with Divine Light and Love emanating from the Sun. This process will purify your spirit, allowing the Light of your Soul to shine forth. Then you radiate Divine Light and Love to all of Creation. You become a "Sun of God." After basic sun gazing suggestions and proper attitude are discussed, several sun gazing techniques are presented in clear, well explained detail, followed by some dietary recommendations and commentary about the sun gazing experience. The rest of the book goes into great detail about the actual process of spiritual transformation, starting with a few words about the origin of the Universe and the Soul and the forces involved in transformation -- Prana and Kundalini. The Soul, spirit, and the various bodies/vehicles of the Soul and their force centers/chakras are defined and described. Next, subtle psychology and spiritual transformation are thoroughly explored, followed by a description of the elevated and expanded states of consciousness that can be realized by sun gazing. Finally, the concepts of the "awakening of the Soul," spiritual evolution, and karma are explained in relation to sun gazing. This book supersedes the small introductory manual "Sun Gazing for Spiritual Transformation" by the author.
