Human sexuality is a problematic thing. It gets us into trouble, breaks our hearts, involves us in painful compulsive relationships, even transmits deadly diseases. It would surely scare us off, if it were not for its siren call to higher forms of union and moments of bodily bliss. When examined more closely, however, and especially when we turn our gaze inward to see what sexual arousal is doing to our consciousness, we find we are in an altered state-a form of "erotic trance" that reveals dimensions of ourselves, our partner, and possibilities for human life that otherwise would not have been discovered. -- Procreative sex forms the foundation of the nuclear family and the glue that holds society together-what we might call the "horizontal" potential of sex. Tantra, however, is about its "vertical" dimension-about "tuning" our awareness to bring higher, spiritual realities into focus. It all begins by mastering our bodily reflexes. This first volume of Tantra and Erotic Trance deals with the preliminary stages of mastery and the transformations of consciousness that they make possible. The whole project is imagined as a ladder with its feet on the earth and its top leaning into Indra's heaven. Each rung represents a new level of awareness, a mastery of what just the rung below had appeared to us as a poorly understood gift.

A BOOK FOR THOSE WHO ARE CURIOUS ABOUT TANTRA, ASTROLOGY, SELF HEALING AND THE DEEP NATURE OF ORGASM. A HANDBOOK FOR THOSE WHO PURSUE TANTRIC REALISATION AND PLANETARY RECREATION AS A MISSION OR A PROFESSION Cosmic Engineering And Orgasmic Continuum’ is the brainchild of Arun Webber, a software engineer and former student of Narayana Gurukulam from Bangalore. Arun is also the Founder of the popular websites: eduladder.com and arunsyoga.in. Born into a family that has passed tantric knowledge down from generation to generation, he compiled this book based on knowledge he gained whilst travelling across India, as well as talking to diverse people across the globe. The book is presented in the form of four dialogues with experts in their fields, namely Betsy B. Murphy, Dr Thomas, Ben Lawson, and Jem Ayres. It concludes with four examples of tantric meditation Techniques. The first dialogue with Dr Thomas, entitled, ‘Tantric Enlightenment In World Religions’ explores tantric influences on various philosophies, including historical materialism, and suggests Mary Magdalene was the tantric concert of Jesus. The second dialogue, with Betsy B Murphy, ‘Beyond Orgasm’, is also an open discussion. Betsy is a Hollywood filmmaker, born and raised in the States, who has received much acclaim for her book, “An Autobiography Of Orgasm”, which explores (tongue in cheek) how women are treated in the bedroom and why they resort to faking orgasms. Betsy has journeyed throughout India and Africa in search of orgasmic experiences and she shares her insights here into what is beyond orgasm and how one can achieve this. The third discussion is with Ben Lawson, a tantric adult filim maker and a feminist sex worker. Ben’s work is motivated by his frustration with how modern day adult movies present human beings as preverts in their bedroom practices, often ending with rape on their counterparts. In this chapter, the discussion examines the feminine-oriented worshipping yantra – ‘kali yantra’ – and what it symbolises and Represents. The book’s final discussion is with Jem Ayres – a sex coach based in the UK. Jem describes how she miraculously healed her body of lung cancer using the power of tantra. The final section of the book outlines four tantric meditation techniques that can be used in everyday life for empowerment and healing. Throughout the book, there are beautiful images of philosophers, various meditation techniques and a variety of tantric symbols, such as the biblical interpretations of the seed of life, the flower of life and the three dimensional kali yantra. It aims to offer a subjective, existential meaning to enhance the depth of it’s reader’s life. While using this book as a guide for your Tantric expedition, always remember. “If you know That, you don’t have to seek! If you don’t know That, then you don’t know what to seek!! If you think you know That, then you actually don’t know That!!!” -Isavasya Upanishad

'The Dream and Its Amplification' unveils the language of the psyche that speaks to us in our dreams. We all dream at least 4-6 times each night yet remember very few. Those that rise to the surface of our conscious awareness beckon to be understood, like a letter addressed to us that arrives by post. Why would we not open it? The difficulty is in understanding what the dream symbols and images mean. Through amplification, C. G. Jung formulated a method of unveiling the deeper meaning of symbolic images. This becomes particularly important when the image does not carry a personal meaning or significance and is not part of a person's everyday life. Fourteen Jungian Analysts from around the world have contributed chapters to this book on areas of special interest to them in their work with dreams. This offers the seasoned dream worker as well as the novice great insight into the meaning of the dream and its amplification. Contributors to this edition of the Fisher King Review include: Erel Shalit, Nancy Swift Furlotti, Thomas Singer, Michael Conforti, Ken Kimmel, Gotthilf Isler, Nancy Qualls-Corbett, Henry Abramovitch, Kathryn Madden, Ron Schenk, Naomi Ruth Lowinsky, Christian Gaillard, Monika Wikman, and Gilda Frantz.

'Divine Madness: Archetypes of Romantic Love' examines the transforming experience of romantic love in literature, myth, religion, and everyday life. A series of psychological meditations on the nature of romantic love and human relationship, Divine Madness takes the perspective that human love is a species of divine love and that our experience of romantic love both conceals and reveals the ultimate Lover and Beloved. John Haule draws on depth psychology, the mystical traditions of the world, and literature from Virgil to Milan Kundera to lead the reader inside the mind and heart of the lover. Each chapter explores a characteristic aspect of relationship, such as seduction and love play, the rapture of union, the agony of separation, madness, woundedness, and transcendence. Focusing on the soulful and spiritual meaning of these experiences, Divine Madness sheds light on our elations, obsessions, and broken hearts, but it also reconnects us with the wisdom of time immemorial. As a practicing Jungian analyst and former professor of religious studies, John Haule masterfully guides his readers through the labyrinth of everyday experience, and the often hidden layers of archetypal realities, sketching a philosophy of romantic love through the stories of the world's literature and mythology.

As David White explains in the Introduction to Tantra in Practice, Tantra is an Asian body of beliefs and practices that seeks to channel the divine energy that grounds the universe, in creative and liberating ways. The subsequent chapters reflect the wide geographical and temporal scope of Tantra by examining thirty-six texts from China, India, Japan, Nepal, and Tibet, ranging from the seventh century to the present day, and representing the full range of Tantric experience--Buddhist, Hindu, Jain, and even Islamic. Each text has been chosen and translated, often for the first time, by an international expert in the field who also provides detailed background material. Students of Asian religions and general readers alike will find the book rich and informative. The book includes plays, transcribed interviews, poetry, parodies, inscriptions, instructional texts, scriptures, philosophical conjectures, dreams, and astronomical speculations, each text illustrating one of the diverse traditions and practices of Tantra. Thus, the nineteenth-century Indian Buddhist Garland of Gems, a series of songs, warns against the illusion of appearance by referring to bees, yogurt, and the fire of Malaya Mountain; while fourteenth-century Chinese Buddhist manuscripts detail how to prosper through the Seven Stars of the Northern Dipper by burning incense, making offerings to scriptures, and chanting incantations. In a transcribed conversation, a modern Hindu priest in Bengal candidly explains how he serves the black Goddess Kali and feeds temple skulls lentils, wine, or rice; a seventeenth-century Nepalese Hindu praise-poem hammered into the golden doors to the temple of the Goddess Taleju lists a king's faults and begs her forgiveness and grace. An introduction accompanies each text, identifying its period and genre, discussing the history and influence of the work, and identifying points of particular interest or difficulty. The first book to bring together texts from the entire range of Tantric phenomena, Tantra in Practice continues the Princeton Readings in Religions series. The breadth of work included, geographic areas spanned, and expert scholarship highlighting each piece serve to expand our understanding of what it means to practice Tantra.

A classic in the field of dream analysis, The Dream: The Vision of the Night is a collection of essays, lectures, and vignettes by Max Zeller whose career included a law degree, a brief imprisonment in a Nazi Concentration Camp, study at the Jung Institute in Zurich, Switzerland, and thirty years of in-depth work as a Jungian analyst. In the eighteen pieces of this collection, Zeller intersperses theoretical writings, compassionate and incisive case studies, and powerful, almost haiku-like reminiscences of certain incidences in his life, from his meetings with C.G. Jung to his impressions of life in pre-war Nazi Germany. The Dream: The Vision of the Night is the best example of amplification of Jungian principles that can be found. Neither pure research nor pure memoir, the collection is an affective combination of both, and as such best portrays the spirit of its author: always restless and searching, always compassionate and open-minded, and above all, always fascinated by the mystery and power of our dreams.
