Within each of us lies the potential to activate a personal connection to the superconscious. Called "Ureaus" in ancient Egyptian texts and "Kundalini" in ancient Hindu yoga traditions, our innate serpent power of spiritual transcendence inhabits the base of the spine in its dormant state. When awakened, it unfurls along the spinal column to the brain, connecting individual consciousness to the consciousness of the universe enfolded within the dark matter of space. At the root of creativity and spiritual genius across innumerable cultures and civilizations, this intelligent force reveals portals that enfold time, space, and the luminous matrix of reality itself. Combining physics, neuroscience, and biochemistry with ancient traditions from Africa and India, Edward Bruce Bynum, Ph.D., explores the ancient Egyptian science of the Ureaus and reveals how it is intimately connected to dark matter and to melanin, a light-sensitive, energy-conducting substance found in the brain, nervous system, and organs of all higher life-forms. He explains how the dark light of melanin serves as the biochemical infrastructure for the subtle energy body, just as dark matter, together with gravity, holds the galaxies and constellations together. With illustrated instructions, he shows how to safely awaken and stabilize the spiritual energy of the Ureaus through meditation practices, breathing exercises, and yoga postures as well as how to prepare the subtle body for transdimensional soul travel. By embracing the dark light of the shining serpent within, we overcome our collective fear of the vast living darkness without. By embracing the dark, we transcend reality to the dimension of light.

Transformational experiences are as unique as they are profound, yet each portrays universal truths of human nature. In The Unfolding Self: Varieties of Transformative Experience, Ralph Metzner, PhD, unveils common dynamics and archetypes of the transformative experience, offering seekers and those in the throes of personal or societal transformation a reliable guide. Drawing from multiple disciplines ranging across the world's cultures (beginning with his collaborations with Dr. Timothy Leary and Richard Alpert at Harvard University in the early 1960s), Dr. Metzner explores subtle concepts using a tapestry of myth, allegory, and historical context. The Unfolding Self promises to provide its reader with valuable tools to become wise, impartial judges in their process of transformation into becoming a more integrated and fulfilled person.

Drawing from multiple disciplines and ranging across the world's cultures, Dr. Metzner goes beyond his roots in transpersonal psychology to uncover universal structures of spiritual transformation. Readers who immerse themselves in these masterful descriptions can catalyze their own process of evolution.

Rachel True, an actress best known for her role in The Craft, is a lifelong occultist - she had been reading tarot cards long before being cast in the 90s witchy cult classic. Now, True shares her tarot knowledge through her unique guidebook and deck boxed set. Each card in the deck is uniquely made following a beautiful, multicultural aesthetic. True's guidebook helps readers use the cards as she does: with an intuitive approach, rather than assigning one literal definition to each card. She shares personal stories from her experiences in Hollywood to explain how the cards can mean something different for each person, depending on their unique set of circumstances. True's stance is that tarot cards don't predict the future, but rather suggest possible outcomes based on the reader's present energy.

This directory provides all you need to know about crystals for the chakras, subtle energy bodies and raising kundalini. There are many more chakras than the conventional seven that have traditionally been in use. As the frequency of the human organism is raised, additional chakras are opening up to assimilate higher dimensional energy. This frequency uplift, and overall well-being, can be facilitated by stimulating the rise of kundalini energy, which in turn can be activated with appropriate crystals. However, spontaneous kundalini awakening can be overwhelming. Fortunately crystals have the answer. This new directory in the A-Z series assists you to identify exactly the right crystal to release any blockages and return the chakras to a state of equilibrium. This will enable the higher chakras to open and controlled kundalini rise to occur.

La parapsychologie entre le marteau et l'enclume Ce livre pionnier presente le resume de plusieurs annees de recherche scientifique, de laboratoire et theorique, sur les phenomenes paranormaux en general et les merveilles du soufisme islamique connues par les miracles en particulier. Et le livre observe les miracles a la lumiere des nouvelles connaissances dans la parapsychologie et les branches des sciences traditionnelles concernees, en soutenant ses propositions avec plus de trois cent cinquante references scientifiques specialisees. De plus, le livre evalue les theories et les methodes de recherche dans la parapsychologie du point de vue de la pensee soufie representee par la Tariqa Casnazaniyyah. Et le livre explique en detail l'etat de paralysie totale auquel la parapsychologie est parvenue a cause d'avoir une tendance materialiste pure representee par sa tentative faite pour vider les phenomenes paranormaux de tous leurs constituants spirituels en - les humanisant -, car elle suppose que l'homme est la source, le centre et l'axe de tous les pouvoirs paranormaux. Le livre traite l'etude complete qu'ont faite les deux auteurs d'un genre particulier de predispositions paranormales que les maitres de la Tariqa Casnazaniyyah ont permis a leurs disciples de les produire et elles sont les activites connues par - la guerison paranormale des lesions corporelles produites intentionnellement -. Durant leur pratique de la guerison paranormale des lesions corporelles produites intentionnellement, les disciples exposent leurs corps intentionnellement a des blessures qui sont dans les circonstances ordinaires tres dangereuses, plutot elles sont le plus souvent mortelles, mais sans qu'ils subissent un mal. Et le livre traite l'etude des phenomenes de la guerison paranormale des lesions corporelles produites intentionnellement du point de vue des sciences modernes, en montrant l'influence positive et grande que peut avoir l'etude de ces phenomenes sur plusieurs sciences. Le sujet de ce livre pionnier le rend le premier dans son genre non seulement au niveau du monde arabe mais aussi au niveau international.
