Download or read book Tantric Wisdom for Today s World The New Yoga of Awareness written by Peter Wilberg and published by Exposure Publishing. This book was released on 2007 with total page 270 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Tantric Tradition known as 'Kashmir Shaivism' bore within it the understanding that God is not a being 'with' awareness. Instead God is awareness, pure and unbounded. This pure awareness is like a stainless mirror - invisible in itself - in which all experienced realities are not only reflected but actively and continuously manifested. The New Yoga of Awareness is not merely a commentary on or an explanation of this tradition, but the most comprehensive and original contribution to it since its synthesis by the great 10th century teacher and tantric adept Abhinavagupta. It unites religion, science, philosophy and theology, psychology and metaphysics in a way that truly makes it not just 'a' new yoga but THE New Yoga - an entirely new school of 'tantra' evolved from and for today's world. Tantra does not separate religion and science. It is yogic religious science. The aim of The New Yoga is to make this new and highly practical religious science known to the world in order that it can begin to work for it. It does so by challenging the foundations of both Western science and the Abrahamic religions (Judaism, Christianity and Islam), along with the "monotheism of money" (Marx) and the godless 'science' that is its religion. Peter Wilberg's wide-ranging writings on tantra, introduced in this book, constitute a new and highly practical body of theosophical and religious scientific knowledge of the sort that alone can help bring an end to today's rising ocean of religious and scientific ignorance - and to the ecological devastation, economic inequalities and global mayhem that go with it. Above all, they offer a way of accomplishing this world-transforming aim - not through jihad, violence or war but through learning to experience that pure and Divine Awareness ('Shiva') which pervades all things, and the Divine Power ('Shakti') of Awareness that manifests them all.

This book was released on 2009-09 with total page 284 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Hindu Tantric Tradition known as Kashmir Shaivism bore within it the understanding that neither God nor Self are beings 'with' awareness. Instead, God like the Self, IS Awareness. This is not an awareness that is 'yours' or 'mine' - the private property of a self or selves, being or beings - or the product of a body or brain. Instead every body and being is a 'Shakti' - an individualised portion and expression of that singular, universal and Divine Awareness known as Shiva. The New Yoga of Awareness is not a scholarly commentary 'on' the Kashmiri Shaivist tradition, but the most comprehensive and original contribution TO that tradition since its synthesis by the great 10th century teacher - Sri Abhinavagupta. Through its innovative principles and practices, Acharya Peter Wilberg unites philosophy and theology, psychology and metaphysics in a way that makes this yoga not just 'a' new yoga but THE New Yoga - a new exposition of Tantric Wisdom evolved from and for Today's World.

Download or read book Tantra of the Yoga Sutras written by Alan Finger and published by Shambhala Publications. This book was released on 2018-12-11 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A readable, accessible version of the ancient classic primer on the practice of yoga--interpreted by a contemporary Tantric yoga master. The Yoga Sutras is Patanjali’s classic text on how to experience oneness (samadhi) within yoga practice. Serious yoga students want to bring the wisdom of the Sutras to their practice but often find the text impenetrable and difficult to relate to. Here, yogi and Tantric master Alan Finger offers an interpretation of the Sutras that is clear and immediately relevant—and he shows contemporary practitioners that samadhi is something that they can experience here and now. Yoga is a process of spiritual evolution, and samadhi is as natural as breathing and available to all, because it is our true nature. Viewed through a Tantric framework, Finger shows us how the Sutras describe the yogic process that both leads us to the experience of samadhi and allows us to weave the wisdom and grace of that experience back into our everyday life.

Download or read book Self Empowering Wisdom written by Barnabas Tiburtius and published by Notion Press. This book was released on 2019-08-19 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the second volume in the series of books published under the title ‘Self Empowering Wisdom –Through Deeper Interpretations of Mythologies, Sciences and Spiritual Texts.’ It contains 85 short articles on various spiritual and existential themes aimed at the elevation of human consciousness to a higher level. The purpose of this book is to collate the wisdom, which is increasingly revealing itself in our lives, as the consciousness of Homo Sapiens is being peeled open like the opening of a bud into a fragrant flower or the metamorphosis of the pupae into a lovely butterfly. This is an ongoing journey of human consciousness ascending through the wisdom of the ancients which was enclosed in mythological narrations, then through the deep insight of spiritual masters more explicitly expressed in sacred texts and now, in the present age, through scientific discoveries unravelling the cosmic dimension and the nature of our existence. The content of each article is to bring to light the interconnectivity so that the esoteric and mystical dimensions of mythologies and scriptures are made easy for grasping through current knowledge in the area of sciences, psychology and arts. I am sure that this book will be an empowering tool for all seekers as to the true purpose of our creation and the multiverse in which we live.

Download or read book The Awareness Principle written by Peter Wilberg and published by Exposure Publishing. This book was released on 2007 with total page 186 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: If people get 'lost' in thought or in their emotions, in their work or chores - or in any element of their everyday activity and experience - then they may be 'conscious' but they are not aware. Awareness of the different elements of our conscious action and experience frees us from restricting attachments to them - from a confining identification of ourselves with anything we think, feel or do. This 'Awareness Principle' is both a liberatory life principle and a life practice of a sort long recognised in yogic philosophy. As well as being a healing and freeing life principle and practice, The Awareness Principle is also a new foundational principle for the sciences and religion - offering the sole possible philosophical basis for both a new Theology and a truly scientific 'Theory of Everything'. For the most fundamental scientific fact is not the objective existence of a manifest universe of bodies in space and time but awareness of that universe. In contrast to all current pseudo-scientific attempts to explain awareness or 'consciousness' however, The Awareness Principle is the recognition that awareness cannot - in principle - be explained by or reduced to any thing whatsoever that we are aware of, whether it be matter, energy or the human body and brain. Awareness is neither a by-product of our bodies and brains nor the private property of any being or beings - human or divine. What we call 'God' is neither 'Being' with a big 'B' nor some Supreme Being 'with' awareness. Instead God is awareness - and the entire universe its manifestation. And just as there can be nothing outside space or before time so there can be nothing outside or before the absolute and divine Awareness that is'God'. Neither the Big Bang of physics, the Big Being of philosophy nor a Supreme Being of the sort worshipped in the Abrahamic faiths - all expressions of 'The Being Principle' - can explain the fundamental nature of God and the Universe. The Awareness Principle can, based as it is on the recognition that: "The being of all things that exist in awareness in turn depends on awareness." (Abhinavagupta) Peter Wilberg's writings on 'The Awareness Principle', collected for the first time in this volume, reaffirm and rearticulate in a new and clear cut way a centuries-old understanding of Indian tantric philosophy - namely that the '1st Principle' of the universe is not matter or energy but the innate potentials and power (Shakti) of pure awareness (Shiva).

Download or read book Heidegger Phenomenology and Indian Thought written by Peter Wilberg and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page 106 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Being is no longer the essential matter to be thought." Martin Heidegger Western thought clings to the notion that consciousness is essentially both 'intentional' (awareness of something) and the private property of an egoic 'subject'. It has no concept of a Universal Awareness or 'Absolute Subjectivity' of the sort that Indian thought has long understood as the source of all individualised consciousness. Yet in the language of Martin Heidegger we find words such as 'The Open' or 'The Illuminating Clearing', which suggest a primordial 'space' or 'light' of awareness - one that is the condition for any consciousness of things, and is not the private property of any being, body, brain or 'ego'. Heidegger, Phenomenology and Indian Thought explores in an original way the proximity of this language to those schools of Indian thought which recognise a pure, universal and 'non-intentional' dimension of consciousness - an Awareness (Chit) prior to and transcending 'Being' itself (Sat).

Download or read book The New Yoga Tantra Reborn the Sensuality Sexuality of Our Immortal Soul Body written by Peter Wilberg and published by Exposure Publishing. This book was released on 2007 with total page 170 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What would it be like to know that you are indeed immortal, that your physical body is but the outward form taken by your own eternal inner form or soul body? What would it be like to dissolve the bodily boundaries that seem to separate you from the souls of others, learning to feel your soul in their body and their soul in yours? What would it be like to see and feel your partner as the embodiment of a god or goddess, and to experience the bliss of 'soul body sex' - an intensely sensual intimacy and intercourse with their divine soul body? The New Yoga is a yoga of the soul body - that body with which we can intimately sense, feel and touch others - independently of physical contact. The New Yoga is also 'Tantra Reborn', giving rebirth to the tantric tradition known as Kashmir Shaivism through a wholly new understanding of its sexual symbolism and of 'tantric sex' - seen not merely as a heightening or spiritual elevation of bodily sex, but as an expression of the sublime sensuality and divine sexuality of the soul and its body. 'Tantra Reborn' explains in detail the anatomy, nature and powers of the soul body, its relation to gender and sexuality, to tantric initiation and to the traditional tantric symbolism of 'Shiva-Shakti' and 'Kundalini'. It also offers a practical guide to experiencing the bliss of soul body intercourse through new and original forms of tantric pair and partner meditation.

Download or read book The World s Great Wisdom written by Roger Walsh and published by SUNY Press. This book was released on 2014-01-01 with total page 268 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Surveying spiritual and philosophical traditions, this volume revives the search for wisdom for modern times. What is wisdom and how is it cultivated? These are among the most important questions we can ask, but questions that have been routinely ignored in modern times. In the twentieth century, the search for wisdom was replaced by a search for knowledge as science and technology promised answers to life’s ills. However, along with scientific achievements came disasters, particularly the devastation of the planet through the accelerating use of modern technology. In an era drenched in data, a desire for wisdom has been reborn. Where can we go to learn about wisdom? The answer is clear: to the world’s great religions and their accompanying philosophies and psychologies. The World’s Great Wisdom makes these treasuries available. Practitioners from each of the great religions—as well as from Western philosophy and contemporary research—provide summaries of their traditions’ understandings of wisdom, the means for cultivating it, and its implications for the modern world. This book offers distillations of the world’s accumulated wisdom—ancient and modern, religious and scientific, philosophical and psychological. It is a unique resource that for the first time in history brings together our collective understanding of wisdom and the ways to develop it.

Consciousness is the most intimate experience of life, the essence of life itself. Among the many spiritual traditions born and developed in India, one ancient philosophy-Kashmir Shaivism-has explored it completely. Until now, Kashmir Shaivism was an esoteric field accessible only to a few scholars and other specialists. Here, for the first time, Swami Shankarananda, a Self-realised spiritual master, presents the wisdom of this powerful tradition in a form that will delight and inspire all spiritual seekers. He explores the teachings in rich detail, elucidating ideas and meditative practices while drawing upon a vast canvas of many great beings, wisdom traditions and personal experience. When Kashmir Shaivism is studied the way a subject at university is studied, it becomes a set of principles and concepts, which are rich and suggestive. But Kashmir Shaivism is not only food for the intellect. It also implies direct nurturance of the soul, the direct experience of consciousness itself. The goal of this book is to inspire spiritual seekers to make sure of the sublime methods and understandings of Shaivism in their own practice. The Yoga of Kashmir Shaivism is a book that will transform you. It is a resource and guides you towards investigating and deepening your own consciousness.

This book was released on 2022-01-01 with total page 376 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tantra Yoga is actually a spiritual teaching that was developed based on a deep understanding of the reality of the self, the universe and God. This teaching guides spiritual learners to be able to step into Divine Consciousness, with the estuary of liberation of the soul from all the roots of sorrow. In Tantra Yoga, there are systems and methods that lead to the purification of the soul from all karmic residues, bad traces of trauma and mental wounds, angkara murka, illusions and entanglements of inharmonious energies. Unfortunately, a lot of confusion has developed regarding Tantra. In the West, there are many neo-tantras that make sexuality the axis of teaching. This triggers people to associate Tantra with sexuality. In other parts of the Earth, such as in Nusantara, Tantra is often associated with brutal rituals that are considered as the application of the teachings of Panca Makara. Legendary figures from Nusantara such as Adityawarman, Sri Kertanegara and Calon Arang are often mentioned as practitioners of Tantra, specifically Bhairawi Tantra, with the habit of holding following rituals that undoubtedly make people in the modern era shake their heads: eating corpses, binge alcoholic drinking and sex parties, or performing dances. mystic naked in the grave. This book was actually written to answer all the confusion and at the same time straighten the slander against the legendary figures of Nusantara. In this book, Tantric practices are explained which are actually divine, simple and effective, to lead to enlightenment and a life full of happiness. Tantric practice includes dhyana, pranayama, samadhi, mantra, yantra and others. The author of this book, Setyo Hajar Dewantoro is a practitioner of Tantra as a path of stillness mindfulness that leads to connectedness as well asand great oneness with Sang Hyang Atman/True SelfDivine Self and Brahman/God Almighty. The readers are invited to dive into Tantra as a teaching of spiritual sciences as well asand a holistic method for the transformation of the soul towards purity, wisdom and complete perfect empowerment.
