Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Soul in the Unseen World: An Inquiry Into the Doctrine of the Intermediate State Starting, therefore, with some brief introductory chapters on the doctrine of the soul, I have endeavoured to trace in the Bible, the Fathers, the Liturgies, and the writings of the theologians, what was commonly believed as to the life of the soul in its intermediate, disembodied state. I have tried to avoid the pitfall of interpreting these documents so as to make them harmonise with my own beliefs. My aim has been to state as fairly and truthfully as I can what the teaching in each part of the Church of Christ has been at various times. The Church as a whole has defined very little as to the after-life, and hence we come across a great variety of opinions on many points. Persons who wish.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abhinavagupta, a leading figure in Kashmir Saivism is increasingly being recognised as one of the chief contributors to the evolution of Indian thought. In his encyclopaedic work the Tantraloka 'Light on the Tantras' he describes the various tantras of his day and places at their apex the most extreme of them, the Kula ritual which proposes the use of wine and meat and intercourse with women of the lowest castes. In Abhinavagupta's esteem of the Kula ritual just the shodow side of genius an aberration best forgotten? This work is a translation-the first into english of any chapter of the Tantraloka of Abhinavagupta's version of the Kula ritual.
