Tantra - The Serpentine ascent
Tantra - The Serpentine Ascent - Part I
Occult Vibratory Chemistry existed in India under the name tantra.
Tantra is derived from two Sanskrit words - Thanoti (to develop) and Trayaten (for free). This science has the power to expand and free!
Expansion means to expand beyond its borders. Expansion to Infinity. Thanothi means expansion consciousness Consciousness ad infinitum.Individual should extend to the universal conscience, merger,
the Supreme Self.
Trayate means liberate, to liberate man bondgage, the Seven Deadly Sins, which is related to the sublunary world. The purging of mortal dross is a must for self-actualization and "internal enemies of man" Lust, greed, anger, envy, sloth, lust and attachment) are the elements in the real path to self-update
Liberation is not possible without expansion of consciousness. When our individual consciousness develops for cosmic, we feel whole and are freed from the bondage of matter.
The philosophy of the Upanishads was based on concentric tubes Five known five Kosha. The outermost concentric Sheath, the Anna Maya Kosha, is known as the cladding material. It envelops the other four sheaths - vital, mental, intellectual and happiness.
Tantra, the other hand, speaks of the six Chakras, Cosmic Dynamo
The energy in the body human.
These Chakras are (in ascending order)
1. Root Chakra (Muladhara)
2. Anal Chakra (Manipura)
3. Solar Plexus Chakra (Swadhistana)
4. Heart Chakra (Anahata)
5. Throat chakra (Vishuddhi)

It is wrapped in human beings as power spiral serpent (Kundalini). It rises during the mediation process and yoga.
His rise can be felt by the meditator. When it rises, a subtle warmth will be felt in the body. voice changes. Voice becomes musical "haves as areas to listen. The personality of the native becomes very attractive because of the influx Jupiterian of energy. Wisdom and learning grace the individual. When she rises Furthur torrential happiness will be felt.

The cause of the universe as Maya
The whole creation is thy Play
Thy blessing is Bliss Absolute!
The essence of all You're Sciences
All women your events!
The visible Universe Thou art
And sleep Serpentine Power!
One of the pioneers in Tantra research was Sir John Woodroffe, who had written several treatises on the subject. His magnum opus is the "Serpent Power," which is a scientific treatise about the Kundalini. His
practice of Tantra endowed with personal magnetism. It has become the sight of all eyes. There was a special luster on his face, he had the golden tongue of good report and there was a spiritual halo around him. He developed his Auric Field (the human electro-magnetic field) due to Tantric techniques and bacame a dynamo of spiritual energy. His masterly book is a scientific diagnosis about Tantra.
The heart and vocal nerve centers are intimately related physiologically. Bhava Shuddhi or purity of heart is the voice innocent and music. The true Initiate is he whose voice is true and who has the golden tongue of good report!
The Cosmic Shakti is the force behind the universe and the entire Universe is her play and display. Kundalini is Her microcosmic representation. She was depicted as the mother goddess in Pagan philosophies.
Nature is visible Intelligence Intelligence is the invisible nature. The spiritual and the natural are not different. What is spiritual is natural in its ascent and cause. What is natural is spiritual in its descent and being.
She is the female component of the Ultimate and all systems to deal with male and female components of reality. The male component is! Consciousness and strength, the Supreme Self case and Nature and the Spirit, being and becoming, the One and the innumerable, and then informs delirious forms - men and women, two in one, inseparable! It is beyond time, beyond space, pure Being, pure consciousness, the Great White Silence, where everything is contained in a state of involution, contained, but no form!
She throws him in a burst of joy, again to find it plays in time, she and he, two in one, inextricable! Can Nature exist without the Lord? Can it exist without nature?
This is the Purusha and Prakriti of Sankhya, the Brahman of Vedanta and Maya, the Sive and Shakti of Tantra!
Without Him, I do not exist
Without me, it is not shown! - The Mother of Auroville
It is due to His grace that man becomes a material success. It gives the successful man the indomitable Will Power needed for success.
On the other hand, it is also his Grace, who gives spiritual success. It gives the devotee the necessary Self-knowledge, makes him do altruistic acts and leads to self-actualization. In other words, it has two aspects, material and spiritual grace is absolutely necessary to succeed in both spheres. .
It is said that she, as the Prakriti (nature) of Purusha (Supreme Self), is the basis of the Universe and when it becomes extremely pleased with the devotee, confers self-actualization!
She is the creator, it is the Ombudsman, she is the giver and the executrix of absolute mechanism of universal justice.
The power is divine and not be condemned
It is this aspect of power awareness that India has described as the Divine Mother. It is a mistake of ethics and religious spirit Power to condemn as something unworthy because it is in its very nature corruption and evil. Despite arguments to the contrary (Power corrupts and power absolute corrupts absolutely), Power, Shakti, Will is the author of the universe and is essentially a spiritual divine origin and character!
A Power to call Eternity into Time
And to the joy of the body as vivid as the soul.
The more philosophical concept is that of the philosopher-king, one who possesses powers both eternal and temporal. They were known as Raja Rishis in India. Lord Rama, Krishna, King Janaka were all Raja Rishis. Marcus Aurelius and Augustus Caesar in the West were also reputed philosopher-kings. They did not renounce power!
Tantra compared to astrology
Tides are caused by the moon. The human body is 65% water. (Even the Archbishop of Canterbury is 65% water). If the moon can make tides, what effect it has on the human body is mostly water? And what about the effects of other planets?

The new age movement
New Age - A Paradigm Shift to Divine Consciousness and a universal philosophy
The New Age Movement (NAM) is a revival of spiritual and divine values and can be called as a Divine Regeneration Movement. New Age Philosophy has conquered the West intellectually and Western culture is currently experiencing phenomenal growth - sociological, spiritual and ideological. It is a secular, multi-cultural, multi-religious synthesis, of Eastern mystical philosophies, mainly Hinduism, Buddhism, Taoism and Western occultism, stressing holism, the doctrine that reality is organically One (now taught in American Universities after Einstein's theory of relativity).
Behind the evolution of the species, there is an evolution of consciousness. The purpose of life is self-actualization, to move towards the level of awareness unit, defined as the State 7 consciousness in transcendental philosophy.
The social unrest caused by the Vietnam War, the threat posed by AIDS, the disillusionment materialistic ideas and the erosion of faith in morality and ethics has a feeling of futility and insignificance within the West psyche.The the Western system of chemotherapy and side effects of antibiotics, sedatives and certain other drugs and disillusionment with the promises of science and technology made millions turn to Oriental philosophies, occult practices and treatment systems. (Alternative Medicine interest developed to the point that there are now over 180 systems of alternative medicine.
Exhibitors from New Age philosophy in Europe and America including transcendentalists like Thoreau, Emerson and Walt Whitman, Wordsworth, Emanuel Swedenborg (1688-1772), and Theosophy introduced by Madame Helena Blavatsky (1831 - 1891) and Col. Olcott and the philosopher, Annie Besant. As the world witnessed a consciousness, Meditation Revolution Transcendental, yoga, Zen, Carlos Castañada, the Beatles, Holistic Medicine (both Western and Ayurveda), Tantra, Astrology (both Western and Vedic) became popular.
There are 6 million New Age sites on the Web and the Movement consists of a large well-organized network and composed of thousands of groups, trusts, foundations, clubs, lodges, and spiritual groups whose goal and purpose is to prepare the world to enter the entry Aquarian Age. (The Age of Aquarius). In astrological symbolism, Aquarius and Pisces is spiritual rationality. The Age of Pisces, an age of computers and the cyber revolution, followed by an era of revolution consciousness or a spiritual revolution, the era Aquarius.
Some are New Age Organizations: Goodwill Caucus California New Age, World Alliance of New World, the Church Universal and Triumphant, Theosophical Society, Amnesty International, Zero Population Growth, the Forum, Planetary Initiative for the world we choose, Science Club of Rome, Church Universal and Triumphant, Christian, and the Unity School of Christianity.
New Age believes in the goodness essential human and the divine spark in man and the New Age movement is not a unified system of beliefs and worship practices, even if its roots are from the Vedic philosophy. There is no central authority, no official leader, no headquarters, nor the list members, but rather a network of groups working towards world peace and universal love. There are millions of enthusiasts around the world in various New Age practices and the world is moving from Chaos (Disorder) to Cosmos (Order)! This is a phase transition entropy (disorder) in order!
Significant influence has been acquired by the Movement affecting almost all areas of Western culture, sociology, psychology, medicine, government, ecology, science, arts, education, business environment, media, entertainment, sports, and even the Church. Organised spiritual forms such that Christian Science, Unity and even forms of Witchcraft (from the German 'Wicca' meaning the Wise; witchcraft is the art of the Wise) are all expressions. Various seminars on human potential, Transcendental Meditation, Zen meditation and alternative medicine practices are as sweet its multiple events.
Some popular New Age publications and journals are New Age Journal, files A to Z, clarity, Body Mind Spirit, Yoga Journal, Gnosis, East West, Noetic Sciences, the Millennium Being and Omega. The new trend of the population is now seeing everything from a point for New Age
The major objective of the New Age Movement is to prepare man to enter the Aquarian Age and bring world peace in a world already scarred. "Everything is wrong with the world," said Shaw & some of the other objectives of the NAM is to create a any new world order in the fields of economy and government. The idea of a world government has been proposed by Bernard Shaw more earlier and was implemented by Mahesh Yogi and occurs in the writings of the Apostle founded the New Age Movement, Alice Bailey.
Initiation The word is derived from the Latin "Ireland" to go in and Lance have been appointed by the Grand Master is the salt of the earth. The reality Ward mystical defined as "inside and inside and inside and inside." Another mystic he describes as "It is hidden, it is hidden and it is hidden." For the mystic, the evolution of self is the means, and only changing and correcting us we can change others. The main objectives of the movement are to prepare the world to receive the Divine Consciousness and to enter the era Aquarius, thus establishing the New World Order.
New Age Philosophy believes that human evolution can be accelerated if not the entire mass of humanity, at least among the appropriate people. Human nature is perfectible, through an intensive process purification and initiation.
The New Age Movement is secular and universally spread on the surface of the earth and its underlying philosophy of base focuses on Gnosticism and Occultism. (Gnosticism is an ancient philosophy stating that Divine essence is the highest reality, and that autonomy the man is actually this essence. Behind the phenomenal world is the transcendent reality that intuition alone can see). He wears a remarkable resemblance to the Universal Religion that HG Wells predicted one day dominate the world.
The six main characteristics of New Age thinking are: (1) is unity, (2) All is Divine (3) Humanity is divine (4) A change in consciousness, (5) All religions are one, and (6) Cosmic Evolution optimism.
Basically Dialectical Integralism, New Age Philosophy unites both matter and spirit.
Spirit is to see through the eyes of the matter
Question is revealed the face of the Spirit!
The 13 major principles of New Age philosophy are:
(1) One World Order - A world government, one currency, one universal.
(2) The universal energy, universal matter, Universal Life, Universal Soul As God
(3) an eternal universe - uniform in space and time ending
(4) Divine practices (Astrology Yoga and other esoteric arts)
(5) syncretism (unity of all religions).
(6) The need for meditation (To generate reports altered consciousness);
(7) Life is cyclical, everything is cyclical, subject to the cyclical upheavals of the time.
(8) Medicine sweet & Vegetarianism (The patient is more important that the doctor and alkaline food)
(9) Pacifism (Anti-war activities);
(10) Reincarnation; (The Law of Conservation of Soul)
(11) The evolution of man in the Divinity (The latent Life Force evolving naturally to the divine)
(12) The union of man with the divine (Merger of man into the infinite)
(13) illusory of matter - percipii EST Esse - Perception is gasoline; The spirit is the substance.
The practices of the New Age are psychic practices like: Astrology, Reiki, Bioenergy, Chi energy, chakras, Nirvana, Christ-Consciousness, Spiritualism, Native American Spirituality, Prajna, experiences Out-of-body/near- death, reincarnation, yoga, meditation and the occult disciplines, as well as psychotherapeutic techniques and scientific applications healing powers of crystals and pyramids.
Some commonly used New Age terms are: Quantum Healing, Transmutation, Transfiguration, Guided Imagery, reincarnation, positive thinking, human potential; sweet; Holographic synergistic, unity, oneness, transformation, enlightenment, network sharing Community One-world/globalism/new world order (ie, one language, one government, one currency, one religion), Cosmic Consciousness, Zodiac, etc.
Some New Age practices are: Transcendental Meditation, Parapsychology, inner healing, biofeedback, yoga, I Ching, reflexology, therapeutic touch, transpersonal psychology, witchcraft, magick, Tai Chi, Shamanism, hypnotherapy, acupuncture, acupressure, martial arts, Zen Relaxation; Silva Method (formerly Silva Mind Control), visualization, etc.
Some prominent new senior Jeremy Rifkin, Norman Cousins, Elizabeth Clare Prophet, John Denver, George Lucas, Norman Lear, Alice Bailey, Alvin Toffler, Dr. Barbara Ray, Benjamin Creme, Levi Dowling, George Trevelyan, Fritjof Capra, Abraham Maslow, Barbara Marx Hubbard Ruth Montgomery, Shirley MacLaine, JZ Knight, Marilyn Ferguson and David Spangler.
Soothing audio environments are created by New Age musicians and they believe rightly that Music has psycho-therapeutic properties. (This concept is derived from the Vedic philosophy that all music is Samaveda, 4 Vedas the Indians). Born of an interest in spirituality and healing into the late 1970s, it is often used as an aid to meditation.
Essentially meditative, New Age music is soothing to the soul. Music Is not defined as food for the soul? Harmonic consonance, uplifting themes, contemplative melodies and song forms are non-linear characteristics of New Age music. Even the natural sounds or sounds of nature and traditional electronic instruments are used by New Age musicians. With roots in classical music or Eastern Music, New Music Age is often meditative. Prominent New Age musicians include vocalist Liz Story; harpist Andreas Vollenweider, electric violinist Jean-Luc Ponty Electronic music pioneer Brian Eno, Kitaro and multi-instrumentalist solo piano artist George Winston.
New Age practices have almost conquered the world. The Athletes are using guided imagery. Graduate schools of business are invoking TM, Yoga, and Tarot cards in the courses on creativity in business (eg, Stanford Graduate School of Business). On the basis of astrology, the science of time, the gurus of labor exchange Fibonacci numbers and "wave theory" in their forecasts.
We can summarize that the term New Age is a term derived from innovative the mother of all sciences, astrology, indicating that this land is in a transitional phase of the evolution of the Piscean Age of Scientism in the Age of Aquarius to the Divine Wisdom, Cosmic Consciousness, knowledge and love.
Since the New Age is a conglomeration of spiritual practices, let us analyze the fundamental principles of the Movement
1. The divine source of the Authority. New Agers do not claim any single source of authority Inspiration by the Divine. By the Divine we mean a principle within, the divine spark or the Self and there receiving the self to Reveal Interior or the intuitive ideas of the Self.
2. Lord. - Since matter and energy can be neither created nor destroyed and the total energy in the universe is an absolute constant to be (Universal), The Lord did not create the world, he became the world. Monism-("All is Unity") Averre there is only one essence of the universe, everyone and every part this species. The Self is an absolute and all these are the fates. New Age view of God as an impersonal force of life, consciousness or energy ( example, the "Star Wars Force") mainly but they also believe in its personal aspect, as the ocean (which is without form) may take the form of a iceberg! They Averre that every human being has a divine spark within him because all created beings are reflections of the divine idea. The eternal state is called by various terms among different New Age groups, ie, God-consciousness, Universal Love, self-realization, the I AM, Higher Self, Brahman, Nirvana, etc.
2. The Redeemer, Jesus Christ. Christ Consciousness or the Divine Consciousness is what the supporters of the New Age mean by Christ. . In other words, Christ is a divine principle, rather than an individual, like Jesus. This idea of Christ Consciousness asserts that Jesus was only one of Christs, but he equipped himself to receive the Christ Consciousness (for example, it was a great teacher who has attained the Christ consciousness), as did other prophets like Buddha, Krishna, Mohammed. New Agers believe Dr Paul Brunton, who said Jesus spent 18 years in India absorbing Indian mysticism and was introduced to the highest esoteric doctrine.
3. Human destiny. Man is the measure of all things and is more divine than the animals and therefore the salvation of the world depends on man. Cleaning the negative elements of the collective unconscious should be the goal of humanity. Once Negativity is cleaned from the collective subconscious, human energy and the positive glow noble ideals of New Age will be updated in the Age of Enlightenment. Since man is intrinsically divine and perfect, his only real problem is ignorance of this fact. Gnosis means knowledge by experience and hello in the New Age is for man to be enlightened this divine gnosis. New Age groups offer various spiritual techniques to enable individuals, and ultimately the world, grow in this awareness unitive. These techniques may include psychotechnologies to reach altered states of consciousness - Transcendental Meditation, yoga, zen, Harmonization, Channeling (Spirit guides), psychics, acupuncture, etc.
4. The Ethical Opposites, Good & Evil - Believing in Eastern philosophies, New Agers to the distinction between good and evil. All wickedness is weakness and Evil is imperfection. By the method of trial and error, we learn to know what is good and what is bad for the world and we must transcend the dualities.
5. Reincarnation. New Agers believe in the ancient Vedic philosophic concept of Reincarnation ie through a long process of rebirths, man can eventually attain Divine perfection. They also teach the Universal Law Karma - ((The law of cause and effect (Each effect has a cause), The law of action and reaction, law of retribution)) that a person sows, he must take. It is also the doctrine of God disclaimer that the Self is not responsible and it is the ego that bitter experiences and sweet mental experiences due to his own karma.
6.Salvation is self-actualization and sin is ignorance - SSome theorists taught concept of man's original sin. New Age exponents teach the concept of the essential goodness of man. Instead of systems that focuses on human negative aspect and sin, New Age highlights that every man is essentially divine and it's a sin to call man sinner However, New Agers speak of troublesome desires which are natural impulses which retard human evolution and how the ego away Auto. Sin is merely ignorance of the essential divinity of man. The atrophied spiritual consciousness of the normal man who lives in ignorance of his Divine Self is sin. As the law of conservation of energy states that energy can not be created or destroyed, the Law of Conservation of Soul states that the soul can be neither created nor destroyed. Matter exists in 3 states, liquid, gaseous and solid material can be neither created nor destroyed. Nothing begins to be. Similarly, life is not the physical birth begin to be. Penetrates simply the physical conditions and assumes physical form. He just underwent a parallel transformation into conditions which existed in other conditions. Soul is reincarnated in different bodies in a continuous succession of life. The good or bad Karma earned in this life determines its subsequent incarnation. The achievement of higher states of consciousness must be our aim.There many different paths to the goal of divine perfection, and we should be tolerant of other paths.
The divine Aurobindo predicted that spiritual influences from India will trigger a global spiritual movement.There will Mass Incarnations (many people divinely inspired) who will work for world peace and universal love!
I saw them cross the twilight of the age
The massive barrier breakers of this world
The children of the sun in the eyes of a marvelous dawn
The architects of immortality
Making the magic Word, the mystic fire
Realization of the Dionysian Cup of Joy!
The four systems of Philosophy which triggered the NAM are Hinduism, a product of 5000 years of development, Buddhism, circa 560 BC, Taoism, about 500 BC and Druidism, circa 300 BC, the religion of the Celts, which extended to the Middle Ages.
