In 1994, she coined the now widely used phrase “Spiritually Transformative Experiences” (STEs). These include Near-Death Experiences, mystical experiences, spiritual energy or kundalini awakenings, diverse psychic experiences, and inspired creativity. Touched by the Light is a synthesis of forty years of Dr. Kason's research on STEs and their profound after-effects on body, mind, and spirit.

| kundalini empowering human evolution: Memoirs of a Schizophrenic Goddess Nadine Murray, 2003-11 Admitting I'm nuts would mean that the journey has not been real. Memoirs of a Schizophrenic Goddess begins with the murder of John Lennon. The superstar's spirit leads me to a book on science, ritual and religion called Tantrism. In the book I find pictures of a woman spinning in a circle. Finally there is a reason for the dance that I've been hiding in all of my life. According to the book I am a goddess, but the book is too difficult to understand, the science is too complex. To understand the journey I must read every book in the library. That's millions of books. Adding to my misery are the voices and the visions. Jesus and The Virgin are flesh and blood in my world, and devil-fighting rituals are a way of life. Exhausting my resources I search for help. No one wants to listen. I am encouraged to be quiet, not to let my craziness surface. That doesn't work for me because the journey is real. |

| kundalini empowering human evolution: Radiance of Being Allan Combs, 2002-10-22 Ranging widely among Western scientific and analytic ideas and Eastern (Hindu and Buddhist) conceptions related to human consciousness, its nature, and origins, Combs (U. of North Carolina at Asheville) suggests that there is a lot less separating these seemingly incongruent ideas than we have previously thought. Throughout the discussion he clings to a process view of human consciousness that is consistent with his own background in chaos theory and the sciences of complexity.

| kundalini empowering human evolution: Oneness Perceived Jeffrey S. Eisen, 2003-06 Oneness Perceived is a sutra for our culture and our time. It conveys the viewpoint of enlightenment in a clear and systematic way. In the spirit of pure inquiry, the author develops a comprehensive theory of consciousness and uses it to illuminate religion, mysticism, science, and psychology. The book returns psychology to its earlier roots in phenomenology, taking introspective and subjective experience as the starting point and not as something to be discarded because it is unscientific. |

| kundalini empowering human evolution: Sprinkle Nowhere with Me and You Dudley C. Gould, 2001 Sprinkle Nowhere with Me and You is a comprehensive review of literature dealing with the soul, along with the author's observations and speculations. Gould's review ranges from ancient religious and philosophical texts to modern works of science. Sprinkle, whose title comes from a poem of the same name by E.E. Cummings, is not like current books about discovering one's soul. It is an extraordinary look at the entire spectrum of what humanity has said and written about the nature of the soul. There is nothing else like it in print. |
| kundalini empowering human evolution: The Radiance of Being Allan Combs, 1996 In this ground-breaking work, Allan Combs presents a wide-ranging survey of the nature and origins of consciousness research, viewing consciousness as a dynamic and self-organizing process with evolutionary potential. Combs reviews the work of evolutionary theorists such as Pierre Teilhard de Chardin, Ken Wilber, Jean Gebser, and Sri Aurobindo. What emerges is a fascinating study of consciousness that discloses itself as a rich and ongoing act of self-creation, poised at the edge of chaos between past and future. |

| kundalini empowering human evolution: Where's Wilber At? Brad Reynolds, 2006-05-09 The most profound and satisfying book to date about the cutting edge of Ken Wilber's integral vision. Reynolds leads us with clarity step by step through the most complex and subtle aspects of Wilber's thinking about post modernity, post-metaphysical theory, the perennial philosophy, the Combs/Wilber matrix, and much more. Highly recommended for those who want to keep up with one of the great intellectual path-finders of our generation. -Allan Combs, Ph.D., University of North Carolina. author of The Radiance of Being: Understanding the Grand Integral Vision; Living the Integral Life Ken Wilber continues to push the boundaries of knowledge to ever more profound and encompassing reaches, and Brad Reynolds continues to follow him and provide lucid, compelling commentaries. I am impressed by how thoroughly Reynolds has mastered Wilber's work. -Roger Walsh, M.D., Ph.D., University of California, author of Essential Spirituality: The Seven Central Practices Brad Reynolds has written an eloquent, passionate, beautiful book about my ideas. I believe it will help many people come to an appreciation of a more inclusive, more comprehensive, more integral way to think and feel about the world, and to find a happy, realized, awakened place in it.-Ken Wilber, author of A Theory of Everything Incorporating a vast range of disciplines and research, Wilber's Integral Vision is currently defined as being an A-Q-A-L or all-quadrant, all-level approach to integral studies (the integration of body, mind, soul, and spirit with self, culture, and nature), therefore the reader will be introduced to Wilber's new integral language and his underlying organizing framework, including his most recent Phase-5. With this book the reader will learn the basic essentials needed to follow Wilber's continual theoretical expansion (including his forthcoming books) and their pragmatic application, as well as reviewing his current public outreach, such as with the Integral Institute, Integral University, and his growing presence on the worldwide web. By simplifying the details of his complex metatheory, or where Wilber's coming from, the reader discovers how this integral approach is capable of uniting the knowledge of modern science with the depth and meanings of ancient mysticism, thus transforming the Great Chain of Being into a comprehensive post-metaphysical AQAL Matrix of Spirit-in-action. This evolutionary model also includes a cross-cultural integral psychology that seamlessly integrates East and West, thus clarifying today's confusing spectrum of collective worldviews and the universal stages of individual growth, as well as much, much more. Indeed, the unprecedented integrative power of Wilber's vision and its expanded influence in the first decade of the new millennium is laying the positive foundations for an integral revolution, or better, a natural evolution to a higher-order worldwide consciousness to which we are all invited, and with which this book will be a helpful user-friendly guide on this exciting adventure. |

| kundalini empowering human evolution: Kundalini Gopi Krishna, 2018-03-27 A classic account of spiritual awakening that sheds new light on the transformative power of the divine feminine energy, kundalini Coiled like a snake at the base of the spine, kundalini is the spiritual force that lies dormant in every human being. Once awakened, often through meditation and yoga practices, it rises up the spine and finds expression in the form of spiritual knowledge, mystical vision, psychic powers, and ultimately, enlightenment. This is the classic first-person account of Gopi Krishna, an ordinary Indian householder who, at the age of thirty-four, after years of unsupervised meditation, suddenly experienced the awakening of kundalini during his morning practice. The story of this transformative experience, and the author's struggle to find balance amid a variety of powerful physiological and psychic side effects, forms the core of the book. His detailed descriptions of his dramatic inner experiences and symptoms such as mood swings, eating disorders, and agonizing sensations of heat—and of how, with the help of his wife, he finally stabilized at a higher level of consciousness—make this one of the most valuable classics of spiritual awakening available. “Gopi Krishna was a pioneer in the land of spirituality.” —Deepak Chopra, M.D |

| kundalini empowering human evolution: The Next Human Jason Lincoln Jeffers, 2014-08-12 Everything in nature evolves. This process is usually slow, taking millions of years. But every couple hundred millennia or so, an entire species takes a giant leap forward. Currently, 17,500 nuclear warheads on Planet Earth are considered operational and at least 4,000 of them are on hair-trigger alert. The nations of North Korea and Iran are scrambling to add their own warheads to the list. The human race now has but one option for world peace: evolution. As we venture beyond the end of the Mayan Calendar at the end of 2012, a small percentage of humanity is evolving from an egoic, codependent, emotionally violent, self-destructive state of suffering into a heart-centered, egoless, Self-reliant, creative state of being. Ethereally connected to Gaia, Mother Earth, this burgeoning, spiritually enlightened, highly intuitive, and compassionate species of humanity will actualize the protective and balancing nature of the sacred feminine. Ultimately, there is no way out of these current problems that we face together, only a way through. The way begins and ends with the personal evolution of the Self. Non-conformity to the current system of control through peaceful, spiritual revolution, both individually and collectively, is what is needed now if we are going to move beyond the social injustice, oppression, pollution, poverty, famine, and incessant wars that pervade our planet. As we learn to honor the body's divine intelligence, an entirely new system of drug-free health care will emerge, as opposed to the disease care model that exists today. The time has come for us to look to solutions from higher levels of intelligence, higher levels of consciousness. Now is the time for us to draw a line in the sand and stand up for our divine Selves, to stop playing the victim as a species. Your evolutionary journey begins and ends with Self-mastery, through the transformation of the Seven Selves. When you change your little me who means nothing to the universe perspective to an I am the center of all creation perspective, your whole existence and reason for living transforms. |

| kundalini empowering human evolution: Spiritual Evolution George Vaillant, 2009-06-09 In our current era of holy terror, passionate faith has come to seem like a present danger. Writers such as Richard Dawkins, Sam Harris, and Christopher Hitchens have been happy to throw the baby out with the bathwater and declare that the danger is in religion itself. God, Hitchens writes, is not great. But man, according to George E. Vaillant, M.D., is great. In Spiritual Evolution, Dr. Vaillant lays out a brilliant defense not of organized religion but of man’s inherent spirituality. Our spirituality, he shows, resides in our uniquely human brain design and in our innate capacity for emotions like love, hope, joy, forgiveness, and compassion, which are selected for by evolution and located in a different part of the brain than dogmatic religious belief. Evolution has made us spiritual creatures over time, he argues, and we are destined to become even more so. Spiritual Evolution makes the scientific case for spirituality as a positive force in human evolution, and he predicts for our species an even more loving future. Vaillant traces this positive force in three different kinds of “evolution”: the natural selection of genes over millennia, of course, but also the cultural evolution within recorded history of ideas about the value of human life, and the development of spirituality within the lifetime of each individual. For thirty-five years, Dr. Vaillant directed Harvard’s famous longitudinal study of adult development, which has followed hundreds of men over seven decades of life. The study has yielded important insights into human spirituality, and Dr. Vaillant has drawn on these and on a range of psychological research, behavioral studies, and neuroscience, and on history, anecdote, and quotation to produce a book that is at once a work of scientific argument and a lyrical meditation on what it means to be human. Spiritual Evolution is a life’s work, and it will restore our belief in faith as an essential human striving. |

| kundalini empowering human evolution: In the Realm of Hungry Ghosts Gabor Maté, MD, 2011-06-28 A “thought-provoking and powerful” study that reframes everything you’ve been taught about addiction and recovery—from the New York Times–bestselling author of The Myth of Normal (Bruce Perry, author of The Boy Who Was Raised as a Dog). A world-renowned trauma expert combines real-life stories with cutting-edge research to offer a holistic approach to understanding addiction—its origins, its place in society, and the importance of self-compassion in recovery. Based on Gabor Maté’s two decades of experience as a medical doctor and his groundbreaking work with people with addiction on Vancouver’s skid row, this #1 international bestseller radically re-envisions a much misunderstood condition by taking a compassionate approach to substance abuse and addiction recovery. In the same vein as Bessel van der Kolk’s The Body Keeps the Score, In the Realm of Hungry Ghosts traces the root causes of addiction to childhood trauma and examines the pervasiveness of addiction in society. Dr. Maté presents addiction not as a discrete phenomenon confined to an unfortunate or weak-willed few, but as a continuum that runs throughout—and perhaps underpins—our society. It is not a medical “condition” distinct from the lives it affects but rather the result of a complex interplay among personal history, emotional and neurological development, brain chemistry, and the drugs and behaviors of addiction. Simplifying a wide array of brain and addiction research findings from around the globe, the book avoids glib self-help remedies, instead promoting a thorough and compassionate self-understanding as the first key to healing and wellness. Dr. Maté argues persuasively against contemporary health, social, and criminal justice policies toward addiction and how they perpetuate the War on Drugs. The mix of personal stories—including the author’s candid discussion of his own “high-status” addictive tendencies—and science with positive solutions makes the book equally useful for lay readers and professionals. |

| kundalini empowering human evolution: Own Your Self Kelly Brogan, M.D., 2022-01-11 New York Times best-selling author presents a radical alternative to psychotropic meds: discerning the meaning in your symptoms and your struggle as a way to reclaim your health and your self. For years, we've been telling ourselves that our difficult feelings-sadness, rage, shame, intensity, worry-are somehow not okay. And, all too often, we've relied on the promise of pharmaceuticals to tamp them down. The fact is, though, that these feelings are a vital part of our experience. They are real. And those of us who feel them most strongly are the canaries in the coalmine-sensitive to things that are seriously wrong in the world today. In a book that's both provocative and promising, holistic psychiatrist Kelly Brogan, M.D., author of A Mind of Your Own, shows us that we don't have to medicate our mental, emotional, and physical pain away-that the best way out is through. She explodes the mistaken belief that our symptoms-from mood changes to irritability to fogginess and fatigue-are evidence that we are sick or broken. Then she charts a new path to get real, get well, and get free. The journey includes: • Coming to a new appreciation of the meaning behind symptoms, and whether you are a canary in the coal mine • Learning the 2 major risks of medication that most doctors are not trained to disclose • Exploring the 5 reversible physical drivers of so-called mental illness • Starting the process of radical physical healing with inclusive details of Dr. Brogan's history-making 30-day protocol • Taking an emotional inventory of energy drains and toxic relationships • Taking a deeper dive into the spiritual awakening and expansion that comes when you reclaim your real self from conventional medicine • Identifying the most likely places you have given your power away • Understanding what the science has to say about psychedelics as a tool for awakening • Navigating health challenges with curiosity and the proper tools • Guidance, support, and many Travel Tips shared from the trenches! Our experiences, Dr. Brogan argues, aren't problems or pathologies; they reflect what we need to accept, acknowledge, and transform in order to truly become who we are. Own Your Self is a journey of healing, and also something more: a journey of coming home to ourselves. |
| kundalini empowering human evolution: Mysticism Jess Byron Hollenback, 1996 This sweeping study of mysticism by Jess Hollenback considers the writings and experiences of a broad range of traditional religious mystics, including Teresa of Avila, Black Elk, and Gopi Krishna. It also makes use of a new category of sources that more traditional scholars have almost entirely ignored, namely, the autobiographies and writings of contemporary clairvoyants, mediums, and out-of-body travelers. This study contributes to the current debate about the contextuality of mysticism by presenting evidence that not only are the mystic's interpretations of and responses to experiences culturally and historically conditioned, but historical context and cultural environment decisively shape both the perceptual and affective content of the mystic's experience as well. Hollenback also explores the linkage between the mystic's practice of recollection and the onset of other unusual or supernormal manifestations such as photisms, the ability to see auras, telepathic sensitivity, clairvoyance, and out-of-body experiences. He demonstrates that these extraordinary phenomena can actually deepen our understanding of mysticism in unexpected ways. A unique feature of this book is its in-depth analysis of empowerment, an important phenomenon ignored by most scholars of mysticism. Empowerment is a peculiar enhancement of the imagination, thoughts, and desires that frequently accompanies mystical states of consciousness. Hollenback shows its cross-cultural persistence, its role in constructing the perceptual and existential environments within which the mystic dwells, and its linkage to the fundamental contextuality of mystical experience. |
| kundalini empowering human evolution: Shiva Beyond Borders: The Cross-Cultural Evolution of Proto-Shaivism Dr. Nawa Raj Subba, 2025-01-01 Book Introduction The scholarly yet multidimensional and original research work, Shiva Beyond Borders: The Cross-Cultural Evolution of Proto-Shaivism - A Comparative Study of Philosophy, Symbolism, and Global Traditions, written by Dr. Nawa Raj Subba, is truly a text that elucidates the philosophical, cultural, and symbolic significance of Proto-Shaiva traditions in ancient civilisations beyond lines of Indian subcontinent context. This book places Shiva back on the global map to investigate the correlations in symbolism, rituals, and philosophy all over the world of ancient Africa, Mesopotamia, Egypt, the Middle East, and the Indus Valley, among other early civilisations. In the first chapter, we offer the background, purpose, methods, and philosophical lens of the book. It examines Shiva’s tripartite role as creator, destroyer, and preserver, interpreting his symbols such as the Lingam, Trident, and Nandi in an interdisciplinary, cross-culturally metaphysical context. Natural elements, yoga elements, and ecological aspects are among the mentioned themes. Chapter Two examines the prevalence of Proto-Shaiva elements among African civilisations. Chapter 5 then explores horned gods, fertility cults, possession, and syncretism, with an emphasis on parallels between Min (of Egypt) and possibly Shiva. It implies that Shaiva-like customs may have developed independently or by means of intercultural contact. The third chapter is on Mesopotamia. The chapter explores gods (like Enki) and ritual elements (like lingam-shaped pillars, bull iconography (like Nandi), etc.). The chapter delves into important questions regarding potential links between Mesopotamian practices and Proto-Shaiva traditions, including a comparative assessment of deities like Adad and Enlil. Chapter Four: Exploration of early Middle Eastern traditions, including the Proto-Elamite and Canaanite cultures. The existence of yogic postures, ascetic practices, sacred woods, and fire rituals indicates thematical resemblances with the esoteric nucleus of Shaivism. We explore these practices through a performative intercultural symbolic prism. In Chapter Five, you examine archaeological finds linked to the Indus Valley civilisation. The famous Pashupati seal, lingam worship, ritual bathing, yoga postures in artefacts, and water symbolism all hint that Shaiva philosophy probably predated the Vedic period. The chapter offers cross-cultural comparison with ancient traditions. Chapter Six contains theoretical insights and global parallels. It explores whether Shaiva concepts were developed autonomously or through cultural diffusion and weighs the significance of proto-Shaivism in modern-day religious studies. The closing chapter ends with a lasting influence of Shaiva thought. It talks about ecological episteme, religious pluralism, and the unifying power of Shaiva philosophy. It is also on a multiscience agenda for future research. In addition, the appendices include a catalogue of archaeological evidence, works of art, terms, and chronological sequences underpinning the book's research framework. More than just a rereading of ancient religious and cultural paradigms, Dr. Nawa Raj Subba’s work was a theoretical claim. It reframes Shiva as a global spiritual archetype embedded in the shared experiences, symbols, and metaphysical quests of many ancient civilisations. This book will be a learnt and essential resource for scholars of religion, history, philosophy, and comparative symbols. |
