The Secret of Everlasting Life is the first translation from the Chinese of the second-century "Can Dong Qi" This ancient work, the earliest known text on transformation and immortality, echoes the wisdom and poetry of both the Tao Te Ching and I Ching. "The Can Dong Qi" is also the ancestral text of all Qi Gong exercises in China. This translation reveals for the first time the meditation methods practised for thousands of years by Taoist sages. Presented here with its original Chinese commentaries, the "Can Dong Qi" is full of practical information and advice about the process of human transformation and how to nurture and develop the natural life-energy within us. Richard Bertschinger's additional commentary explains the intricacies of Chinese allegory and symbolism for the Western reader. This book is a fascinating read for anyone interested in Daoist thought, Chinese philosophy and culture, or Chinese medicine.

Tantric Kali: Secret Practices and Rituals
by Daniel Odier
The mythology, rituals, meditations, and practices used in Tantric worship of the goddess Kali in the tradition of Kashmiri Shaivism
• Reveals the practices of Vamachara, known as the Left-hand Path but more accurately translated as the Path of Shakti
• Includes a Kali ritual from the Nirrutara Tantra, translated here for the first time
• Presents devotional chants, meditations, and mudras specific to Tantric worship of Kali
According to traditions going back to pre-Vedic times, Kali sprang from the third eye of the Goddess Durga as a destructive and terrifying manifestation of feminine power sent to lay waste to the forces of evil. Throughout India to this day, Kali is worshipped as the destroyer of bondage, capable of liberating her devotee from all rules and subjugation.
In Tantric Kali, Daniel Odier presents the mythology, practices, and rituals of Kali worship in the Tantric Kaula tradition within Kashmiri Shaivism. He reveals the practices of Vamachara, commonly known as the Left-hand Path but more accurately translated as the Path of Shakti. In this tradition the body itself is Kali’s temple, and it is therefore unnecessary to reject or deny the body to know union with the divine. Instead, nothing is regarded as pure or impure and there is complete freedom from rules. Focused on working directly with forbidden emotions and behaviors, this path allows the seeker to transcend obstacles to liberation through sexual union. According to the Kaula Upanishad, “In your behavior do the opposite to what the norms dictate but remain in consciousness.” This is the essence of Tantra. Kali is absolute reality: manifested as woman intoxicated by desire, she frees the tantric practitioner from all desire except union with the divine.
The author includes an evocative ritual from the Nirrutara Tantra--never before translated into any Western language--containing devotions to the 64 yoginis according to Matsyendranath, founder of the Kaula path. Offering devotional chants, meditations, and mudras specific to Tantric worship of Kali, this empowering book provides practices and teachings for those on the Tantric path to liberation

"This is a brief manual on using the four bigrams of the I Ching for magical purposes. Though the methods described in this manual have roots in ancient methods, they have been updated to suit a modern context, making use of some of the innovations brought into magic by what is known as Chaos magic. Chinese sorcery modernized itself many times over in its history, making use of newly refined metals and paper upon their invention and incorporating other influences — mainly Indian but also Mongol — when it seemed useful to do so. In this book I have blended both ancient Chinese methods and norms with the more simplified and direct ethos of Chaos magic, creating a hybrid system which, I hope, will prove both interesting and useful to you."

Triangle No. I


This triangle in the diagram represents the Pará Caitanya or the Para Samvid in transcendent form (visvottirnarüpa). The Pará Caitanya, also called the Anuttara Siva possessing a form, is represented by the vertex in this triangle. The mode of His divine Sakti operating as the cit sakti - symbolised by the vowel letter 'a'-is shown in this diagram by the left side base angle. The divine Sakti functioning as the ananda-śakti- symbolised by the vowel letter a- is represented in the above diagram by the right side base
angle.

The vowel letter 'a' here is held constituted by joining together of two vowel letters 'a' and 'a' symbolising the Anuttara Siva in His self-created reduplicated forms facing each other (abhimukha). This act of voluntary re-duplication is considered a pre-requisite for His self-manifestation as the multiplicity of the world. Kashmiri Saivacaryas hold that there cannot be manifestation of the multiplicity directly from the non-dual one.

Some Saiva and Sakta texts explain the activity of different modes of the supreme Lord's divine saktis with the help of the diagram of two triangles juxtaposed one over the other, with their vertices facing upwards and downwards respectively. The upward pointing triangle is called the urdhvatrikona, and symbolizes the supreme Lord in His transcendent form: anuttara Siva, the highest tattva, occupies the apex position, while His cit and änanda saktis are said to exist and operate respectively from the left and right corners of the base of the triangle, to bring out His transcendent nature.

"Attract wealth and healing with the guidance of the 12 Archangels

• Shares 63 healing visualizations to transform fear, resolve debt, and become receptive to the infinite bounty of the Universe
• Learn how to tap in to the singing colors of the Central Sun that are mirrored in your chakras and raise your vibration to attract wealth—not only financial wealth, but anything you need to receive from Source to feel safe, happy, healthy, and free
• Offers nighttime practices to support your transformation into a vessel to receive the full blessings of Source as well as advanced practices to transform suffering

You are personally invited by the 12 Archangels to receive all that you desire from Source, especially the true happiness that often seems out of reach. Your Soul has the clear guidance and tools to help you move from lack to abundance and attract wealth and healing and the Archangels will show you how.

Speaking through Belinda Womack, who has been a channel for the 12 Archangels for more than 30 years, the Angels explain that the root issue behind our lack of abundance is the fear of not enough. Sharing 64 healing visualizations, the Angels guide you to dissolve the deep subconscious layers of guilt and shame that keep you stuck in a fear-induced lack of wealth and become receptive to the infinite bounty of the Universe. Reading the visualizations from the 12 Archangels, with intention, helps you tap into the singing colors and undiluted love of the Central Sun mirrored in your chakras. The visualizations raise the vibration of your thoughts, feelings, and beliefs to attract wealth—not only financial gain but all that you need to receive from Source to feel safe, happy, healthy, and free.

The 12 Archangels share lessons on the relationship between money and divine law, how to cultivate your garden of intuition and creativity, and how to resolve financial debt with understanding and love. They offer nighttime practices that support your transformation into a vessel to receive the full blessings of Source. They also offer advanced practices on harnessing your innate power to transform suffering.

Helping you connect with the boundless care and "deep pockets" of your Soul to transform financial struggles and eliminate self-doubt, the 12 Archangels show that life keeps improving when you make room for the vast flow of creative genius and abundance coming from the Universe through the divine feminine."

"In this in-depth guide to working with the chakras, author Glen Park draws on her decades of experience as a Chakra Therapist to explain how the chakras can be understood as an embodied map of the psyche, with each chakra representing a different stage of development from infancy and childhood through adulthood, with the Heart Chakra playing a central role in awakening the spiritual potential of the upper chakras. She examines each chakra individually on the physical, psychological, psychic, and spiritual level, as well as through the lens of the solar (masculine) and lunar (feminine) channels. She shows how the connections between the chakras and developmental stages are paralleled in the findings of Western psychology and neuroscience and how our collective expressions of the chakras influence cultural trends in society.

The author’s system of Chakra Therapy integrates healing touch with guided chakra visualizations, offering practical exercises to nourish and balance each chakra so it can be integrated and in harmony with the entire chakra system. She explores how to work with the Heart Chakra for deep transformation and self-healing, including healing emotional wounds from childhood and enabling the psychic and spiritual levels of the Throat and Eye Chakras to develop, with the potential of opening to the divine realm of the Crown Chakra. Sharing case studies from her Chakra Therapy practice, she shows how we gain a richer understanding of ourselves both mentally and physically by working with the chakras, opening ourselves to the potential for deep soul growth and transformation."

"Imagine having an “instruction manual for life”; one that could simultaneously enhance both the everyday practical aspects of your existence as well as the spiritual. What would your life look like then? How would it feel?

Dr. Matthew Barnes, chemist, biochemist, doctor, and bestselling author of The Emerald Tablet 101, The Hermetica 101, The Kybalion 101, The Bhagavad Gita 101, and Jesus Christ, Zen Master, presents his interpretation of the Tao Te Ching. And he does so in a way that is “lovely” and “easier to understand”.

In his work, you’ll discover:

• An answer to each of life's questions, a solution for each dilemma, a healing for each wound.
• How to let life lead, and go with the flow.
• A teaching that helps break through the anger, hardness, and resentment in your heart.
(All that live have suffered. Wouldn’t you like to know how to let go?)
• How to ride the rhythms of life instead of swimming against the tide.
(Can you imagine how much easier this would be?)
• How to understand the Great Mystery in a completely non-denominational way.
• Why you suffer, and how to end it.
(How nice would that be?)
• How to actually enjoy this world for once, and relax into life.
(Hint: Just don’t do this one thing.)
• How to bend but never break.
(Did you know that nature shows us how?)
• The true determinant of survival and happiness, and why it’s not what you think.

What makes this translation different is that it is a modern, simplified interpretation. One that updates the ancient language to a more modern understanding, yet without touching the spirit of Lao Tzu’s timeless work, or altering his guidance towards working with the principles of the universe instead of against them."

• how to find strength in flexibility.

Triangle No. II

This triangle shows the Parásamvid or Anuttara Siva in immanent form (visvâtmaka svarüpa).
The mode of His divine Sakti operating as iccha sakti is symbolised by the vowel letter i', shown in the diagram by the left side
base angle.

The mode of His divine Sakti operating as unmeșa or jñanasakti symbolised by vowel letter 'u- is indicated in the diagram by the right side base angle. The act of unmesa (self-revelation as the multiplicity) also implies kriyá, therefore the kriyā śakti (one of the five modes of functioning of the divine Sakti) has not been shown explicitly in the diagram. In fact the kriyā šakti is held to be identical with 'armi', symbolised by the vowel letter '', which is said to be the resting place (visrânti) for unmesa.
The inverted vertex in this triangle represents the point of 'throwing out' (visarga) of different levels of creation (tattvas), symbolised by consonant letters. The vowel letter ' symbolises this point, also called yoni (lit. the source), denoted by two vertically placed dots).

It is said that the yoni serves as the 'opening' for the emergence of tattvas, beginning with máya down to prthv, symbolised by nine groups of consonant tattvas, technically called mätrkā varņas. These letters also symbolise modes of Sakti underlying the tattvas.

The second triangle, called the adhahtrikona, its vertex pointing downwards, symbolizes the group of three saktis, iccha, jñana and kriyā, which play crucial roles in the supreme Lord's manifestation as the world. It is held that iccha and jñanasaktis operate from the left and right corners at the top of their triangle, while kriya sakti is said to operate on the downward-pointing vertex of the inverted triangle to fulfil the task of visarga (lit. throwing out), the emergence of the tathvas (different levels of existence) comprising the world creation. The two triangles placed one over the other make a six-corned figure (satkona) of saktis, " considered by many spiritual seekers to be holy and auspicious, which is therefore used in certain rituals for their spiritual upliftment

Kautilya's Arthashastra is a book about economics written by Kautilya. The word (No Suggestions) originates from a primeval Indian dissertation that discussed how the economy and military affairs of a state should function. The dissertation was written in Sanskrit by Chanakya, the teacher to the founder of the Mauryan Empire. The book talks about the science of amassing wealth. The author emphasizes that the king should offer no reason for his actions and should go to any extent to attain wealth. The subjects would be prone to punishments unlike the king.

Kautilya was cunning and shrewd. He offered checks for the king on how to see what the sons were plotting against the king. He also offered advice to the sons on how to snatch the king's rule. He felt that it was almost impossible to detect if an official was dishonest, just like how one does not know how much water a fish drinks.

He offered the seven tips for a successful and committed business. He says that the CEO has to guide and direct the team. The competent and resourceful manager binds the team together. You have to know how your market operates and from where you can generate more revenue. Your nucleus or your office should be a centralized place from where you assimilate ideas, strategize and control all your operations. You need to manage your treasury efficiently. Lastly, you need a strong companion that you can depend on, when there is trouble in your business. The first edition of Kautilya's Arthashastra, was published by Jaico Publishing House in 2009 and is available in paperback.

About the Author

Kautilya or Chanakya was an Indian philosopher, teacher and advisor. He aided Chandragupta Maurya in founding the massive Mauryan Empire. He was born in Taxila, South India. He is the founder of political science and economics in India. He encouraged international trade and helped rulers make their visions a reality. He felt that the state should have total control over land, water and mining. He strongly recommended keeping a check on government functions by keeping an eye on money transactions. His age old policies seem to ring true today too and are followed by many people.
