Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Vegan Tantra is about the history, philosophy, rituals, symbolism, and applications of Eastern Tantra and Western Magic, and their ancient, inseparable bond with Veganism going at least as far back as 10,000 B.C.. The original tantric experiences of mankind underlie the birth of song, dance, poetry, painting and all other forms of art that have laid the very foundations of our religions and cultures as we know them today. Recent literature associating Tantra with indulgent sex and black magic is not baseless, but it only represents a very limited aspect of a system of knowledge that is dynamic, all encompassing and constantly evolving as we are ourselves. The dictionary definition of magic is - the power of apparently influencing events by using mysterious or supernatural forces. Tantra is exactly that, the science of influencing events by using forces of nature. Tantra and Magic have both been misunderstood for many years to represent evil, non-serious or even fictional practices. Tantrics actually believe that the entire manifest universe is alive and governed by laws of a higher intelligence we can choose to call God or nature. They believe, that just like the numerous cells in a human body that make up different organs to sustain a larger organism, all parts of nature are constantly communicating and engaging with each other in an eternal dance of competition and cooperation to evolve together as a whole. While much knowledge of the many tantric practices of ancient civilizations has been lost during the dark ages, what survives unmistakably and most importantly is the fact that whether we know it or not we are all tantrics, little magicians, doing Tantra in our everyday lives. The question remains only of our awareness and the purpose of this book is to share exactly that. Vegan-Tantra traces the development and culmination of various pre-historic systems of magic into the three source texts of the Indian Vedas, the Greek Hermetica and the Chinese I-Ching, which further shaped the face of all major world religion to come later. What the Vedic tradition was to religions of Hindusim, Buddhism and Jainism in the Eastern Word, Hermeticism was to the religions of Judaism, Christianity and Islam in the West. Similarly the I Ching went on to influence the Bon, Taoism and Confucianism. However, the consolidation of social power to build empires over thousands of years led to the process of politicization and industrialization of these religions ultimately culminating in the very suppression of Tantra and magic. This book maps the journey of the rise and fall of the original nature worshiping religion of mankind, known as Tantra, and its elusive practitioners called Tantrics. Also discussed are diverse themes such as tantric techniques of increasing sexual bliss, heightening creative/intuitive abilities, use of psychoactive substances to develop extra sensory perceptions, reincarnation, life after death, ancient alchemy, modern psychology, the science behind new age fields of music/sound therapy, colour therapy, bio-mimicry and the pit-falls of black magic using animal sacrifice. Using several quotes from the four Vedas and the Hermetica, studying the life of their authors and with references to many anecdotes, characters and archetypes form eastern and western mythology the book promises to be a roller coaster ride through the fabled world of Eastern Tantra and Western Magic encountering celestial nymphs, dreadful monsters and orgiastic celebrations from our sexually brilliant past. In a nutshell Vegan Tantra is about the eternal tantric truth of 'All is One' - the unity of all life without any bounds or exceptions. It is your journey through words to experientially feel that truth and with it be born again as your higher, more complete self. It is a book to awaken and empower the tantric in you, so that you may use your magical powers in life, at least when it matters the most, starting from right now!

Download or read book Tantric Quest written by Daniel Odier and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 1997-04-01 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The author reveals his passionate experiences with a female Tantric master who taught him the suppressed practices of her ancient order. In 1968 Daniel Odier left Europe for the Himalayas, searching for a master who could help him go where texts and intellectual searching could no longer take him. He wanted everything: the wisdom and spirituality gained from the life of an ascetic and the beauty, love, and sensuality of a life of passion. He found both in Shivaic Tantrism, the secret spiritual path that seeks to transcend ego and rediscover the divine by embracing the passions. In an isolated Himalayan forest Odier met Devi, a great yogini who would take him on a mystical journey like none he had ever imagined. At times taking him beyond the limits of sexual experience, at times threatening him with destruction, she taught him what it is to truly be alive and to know the divine nature of absolute love. This is the personal memoir of one of France's most honored writers. Tantrism is the only ancient philosophy to survive all historical upheavals, invasions, and influences to reach us intact by uninterrupted transmission from master to disciple, and the only one to retain the image of the Great Goddess as the ultimate source of power.
Download or read book Ahims written by Bodo Balsys and published by . This book was released on 2004 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Ahimsa means ""harmlessness,"" carried out in thought, word or deed. A major precept of Buddhists of all denominations is to practice harmlessness. Such activity is not supposed to be theory, but a practical fact, a sacred pledge (samaya) integrated into the fibre of one's every mode of conduct on the path to enlightenment and liberation from the samsara. However, as this text elaborates, all good intent along this line falls flat in the light of the practice condoned by many Buddhists of meat consumption. Harm is thus caused to the animal butchered, to the consumers of the flesh, and to the environment we all live in. It is also a decidedly gross act of adharma to all in the society wherein the Buddhist practitioner that consumes animal products resides, as clearly explained in this book. It is time that Buddhists whole-heartedly spurn all considerations of meat toxins in their bodily environments, to actively espouse the cause of true harmlessness in all that they do; and to act as Bodhisattvas by teaching all how to be compassionate through not killing or harming their animal brethren. The reasons are clear as to the way to be truly compassionate, as all Buddhists should be. Read, learn and observe your true motives in everything you do; desist from harmful actions, and thereby grow and become Bodhisattvas and Buddhas at the end of it all."

In Sacred Sexual Union, Anaiya Sophia shows this Holy Marriage, complete reunification with your Twin Soul and God, is not a secret reserved for the initiated or a tradition lost to the ages. It is a potent, living spiritual path enabling two beloveds to experience the primordial state of creation as one soul blessed by the Divine Light and Love of their Creator. Drawing on teachings from Gnosticism, Sufi mysticism, the Kabbalah, Kundalini yoga, sexual shamanism, the Egyptian Mystery Schools, and Christ Consciousness, the author reveals the complete alchemical process of Sacred Union. She provides physical, meditative, and psychological practices that combine sacred sexuality, emotional intimacy, and transparent soul awareness to awaken the magnetic energies of your soul, draw your Twin Soul to you, and, with Twin Souls reunited, experience the passionate rapturous remembrance of becoming one with God. She explores ancient writings and rituals of Sacred Union--known as Hieros Gamos in ancient Sumeria, Sacred Marriage in the Kabbalah, Yab Yum in Tibetan Buddhism, and the Bridal Chamber in Gnostic Christianity--and offers examples of Sacred Union throughout the ages, including experiences from her own spiritual journey. More than a meditative or yogic practice, Sacred Sexual Union offers a transformative spiritual path to embrace the threefold flame of Power, Love, and Wisdom and satisfy your soul’s longing for wholeness and reunion with the Divine.

Download or read book Missing Witches written by Risa Dickens and published by North Atlantic Books. This book was released on 2021-03-23 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A guide to invocations, rituals, and histories at the intersection of magic and feminism, as informed by history's witches--and the sociopolitical culture that gave rise to them. When you start looking for witches, you find them everywhere. As seekers and practitioners reclaim and restore magic to its rightful place among powerful forces for social, personal, and political transformation, more people than ever are claiming the identity of "Witch." But our knowledge of witchcraft and magic has been marred by erasure, sensationalism, and sterilization, the true stories of history's witches left untold. Through meditations, stories, and practices, authors Risa Dickens and Amy Torok offer an intersectional, contemporary lens for uncovering and reconnecting with feminist witch history. Sharing traditions from all over the world--from Harlem to Haiti, Oaxaca to Mesopotamia--Missing Witches introduces readers to figures like Monica Sjoo, HP Blavatsky, Maria Sabina, and Enheduanna, shedding light on their work and the cultural and sociopolitical contexts that shaped it. Structured around the 8 sabbats of the Wheel of the Year, each chapter includes illustrations by Amy Torok, as well as invocations, rituals, and offerings that incorporate the authors' own wisdom, histories, and journeys of trauma, loss, and empowerment. Missing Witches offers an inside look at the vital stories of women who have practiced--and lived--magic.
Download or read book Tantric Jesus written by James Hughes Reho and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2017-01-13 with total page 392 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A guide to the history and modern practice of transformative Christianity • Reveals the original tantric wisdom of Jesus and the early Church and its resonance with the tantric yogas of India and Tibet • Explains how tantric Christianity views the human body as the primary “temple” of the Holy and erotic energy as the signature of indwelling Divine Presence • Provides step-by-step instructions for a series of Christian tantric practices, including a partnered sexual practice, mantra and energy work, eye gazing, and work with icons Unbeknownst to many, the original Christian spirituality as practiced in the early church and by Jesus himself was a tantric spirituality. In the West, Tantra often evokes images of arcane rituals or acrobatic sexual positions, while in reality Tantra is a holistic transformative path of life, love, and being--grounded in practice. Offering a new understanding of Jesus as guru and master of left-handed Tantra, James Reho, an Episcopal priest and tantric initiate, reframes the Christian story and restores to modern Christianity the tantric wisdom practices that were edited out of church tradition and forgotten over the centuries. He explains how tantric Christianity views the human body as the primary “temple” of the Holy, with erotic energy as the signature of Divine Presence within. Rev. Reho reveals the similarities of the earliest Christian practices to the tantric yogas of India and Tibet and explores the role of Kundalini and the chakras. He details how to work with mantras, icons, and pranayama breathing exercises, as well as with gazing as a spiritual practice. Informed by the insights of ancient texts and early masters of Christian spirituality, the author provides step-by-step instructions on how to practice Christian tantric sex with a life-partner of the opposite or same sex. Rev. Reho reveals how these heart-opening practices are rooted in eros, the life of deep desire, expressive of God’s grace within us, and are still alive in monastic practices in the Christian East. Integrating his personal spiritual experiences, years of study of ancient Christian mysticism, and an expertise in yoga and tantra, the author shows how we can re-engage the original truths of the early church to affirm the body as a holy vehicle and to utilize the energy of the erotic to achieve ecstatic union with the Divine.

Download or read book Global Nomads written by Anthony D'Andrea and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2007-01-24 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Global Nomads provides a unique introduction to the globalization of countercultures, a topic largely unknown in and outside academia. Anthony D’Andrea examines the social life of mobile expatriates who live within a global circuit of countercultural practice in paradoxical paradises. Based on nomadic fieldwork across Spain and India, the study analyzes how and why these post-metropolitan subjects reject the homeland in order to shape an alternative lifestyle. They become artists, therapists, exotic traders and bohemian workers seeking to integrate labor, mobility and spirituality within a cosmopolitan culture of expressive individualism. These countercultural formations, however, unfold under neo-liberal regimes that appropriate utopian spaces, practices and imaginaries as commodities for tourism, entertainment and media consumption. In order to understand the paradoxical globalization of countercultures, Global Nomads develops a dialogue between global and critical studies by introducing the concept of 'neo-nomadism' which seeks to overcome some of the shortcomings in studies of globalization. This book is an essential aide for undergraduate, postgraduate and research students of Sociology, Anthropology of Globalization, Cultural Studies and Tourism Studies.
