Toltec Dreaming: Don Juan's Teachings on the Energy Body
By Ken Eagle Feather. 2007
A metaphysical instruction manual on the role of dreaming in the Toltec tradition • Describes the energy body, its modes…
of perception, and how it produces dreaming • Provides an outline of the dream gates showing how they correspond to the chakras • Includes detailed instructions for awakening dreaming potential and for exercising and expanding the dreaming body--what to expect and how to respond Toltec Dreaming explores the many aspects and levels of the dream-state, distinguishing ordinary dreaming from “dreaming awake,” a condition of heightened awareness through which the active dreamer ascends to the Dream of Transcendence. In this book, Ken Eagle Feather presents the history of dreaming’s place within the Toltec tradition and provides a practical how-to manual for achieving and maximizing dreaming potential. The Toltec Way superimposes on the waking world the subtle physics of the dream world in order to create a conscious dreaming body, often referred to as an “out-of-body experience,” that can allow anyone to use dreaming as a vehicle to higher consciousness. Once the dreaming energies are fully awakened, unbounded conscious perception can come alive, whether one is in the world of dreams or in daily life. The author shows how to communicate while in the dreaming body and indicates what one may encounter in the dream. He also identifies barriers to dreaming and includes instructions for detaching the dream body from the waking ego. Filled with techniques that stimulate dreaming and the development of the dreaming body, this book will guide practitioners along the Toltec Way of the Dream.Shamanic Mysteries of Egypt: Awakening the Healing Power of the Heart
By Linda Star Wolf, Nicki Scully. 2008
A book of wisdom teachings and rituals that invoke ancient Egyptian deities to awaken human consciousness • Provides guided shamanic…
visualizations to invoke 26 of the most significant gods • Takes the reader through shamanic portals of death, rebirth, and illumination • Reconciles internal conflict through a sacred marriage of heart and mind In Shamanic Mysteries of Egypt, Nicki Scully and Linda Star Wolf renew humanity’s connection to the ancient gods of Egypt, the neteru. Voices from these divine ancestors remind us of the healing power of the heart, and call us to bring their consciousness into the present to help us remember our true nature as divine humans with sacred purpose. The authors provide rituals, meditations, and rites of passage to help us meet our personal and planetary challenges with grace, wisdom, and love. The shamanic initiations provided are invoked, directly experienced, and transformed into embodied wisdom that awakens consciousness and illumines the intelligence of the heart. Scully and Star Wolf focus their rituals on 26 of the primary divine entities that preside over the ancient mysteries whose roots are in Old Kingdom and pre-historic Egypt. This fresh interpretation of ancient mysteries unites the energies of Thoth and Anubis to guide us through the current cycle of Earth changes and to help us remember who we really are at heart. Through these passages, Anubis lives up to his ancient title as the Opener of the Way, and Thoth as the Architect of Higher Learning. Together they evoke their power to unite heart and mind in the sacred marriage that brings transformation, renewal, and the awakening of consciousness.The Heart of the Shaman: Stories and Practices of the Luminous Warrior

dreams, and ancient rites.In his latest book, Alberto Villoldo sets his focus on the dreaming and time-travel practices of the medicine men and women of the Andes and Amazon, whose wisdom radically changed his worldview.

They will help you craft a destiny infused with courage, and driven by vision.

This creative power exercised by shamans will lead you to create beauty and healing, and dream a new world into being.When you transform these dreams and accept that life is ever changing, that your mortality is a given and that no one except you can free you from fear —the chaos in your life turns to order, and beauty prevails."Wake up from the slumber you are living in, and dream with your eyes open so that all the possibilities of the future are available to you."This book helps you discover the cables, ropes, ribbons, strands, threads, and filaments of energy that flow to and through…

By Peter Calhoun. 2007

By Victor Sanchez, Frank D az. 2000
A compilation of the teachings of Quetzalcoatl, avatar of the Toltecs, reconstructed from original source texts and the legends told…
at his birthplace in Amatlan, Morelos, Mexico. • The first complete historical account of the life and teachings of Quetzalcoatl, the most important figure in Mesoamerican spirituality. • Includes 86 chronological teaching stories accompanied by 27 codex illustrations. Quetzalcoatl Ce Acatl (born in A.D. 947)--whose stature has been compared to that of Christ, Buddha, and Krishna--was the key figure in the development of the spiritual culture of the Toltecs. In The Gospel of the Toltecs the author has gathered Nahua and Maya codexes, Spanish chronicles of conquest, and native oral tradition to recount the life of Quetzalcoatl: his temptation and fall; his initiation with sacred mushrooms; his long journey in search of spiritual enlightenment; his triumphant return to the Toltec land; and his subsequent teaching, self-immolation, ascension, and promise of return. Quetzalcoatl's teachings make up the Toltecayotl, or Toltequity--the art of intentional doing--which provides an initiatic guide for the transformation of individuals and society, while his personal history is a guide for the development of Nahualli, the magical side of human awareness. For all those who wish to deepen their knowledge of the roots of Toltec spirituality or who wish to grow from the teachings of one of the world's great spiritual leaders, The Gospel of the Toltecs offers a unique and authentic access to the life and ministry of one of the most important figures in the ancient world.Sacrificial Ceremonies of Santería
By cha Ni Lele. 2012
The first book to explore the history, methods, and thinking behind sacrifice in the growing Santería faith • Explains the…
animal sacrifice ceremony in step-by-step detail • Shares the ancient African sacred stories that reveal the well-thought-out metaphysics and spirituality behind the practice of animal sacrifice • Chronicles the legal fight all the way to its 1993 U.S. Supreme Court victory to establish legal protection for the Santería faith and its practitioners Tackling the biggest controversy surrounding his faith, Santería priest Ócha’ni Lele explains for the first time in print the practice and importance of animal sacrifice as a religious sacrament. Describing the animal sacrifice ceremony in step-by-step detail, including the songs and chants used, he examines the thinking and metaphysics behind the ritual and reveals the deep connections to the odu of the diloggún--the source of all practices in this Afro-Cuban faith. Tracing the legal battle spearheaded by Oba Ernesto Pichardo, head of the Church of the Lukumi of Babaluaiye, over the right to practice animal sacrifice as a religious sacrament, Lele chronicles the fight all the way to its 1993 U.S. Supreme Court victory, which established legal protection for the Santería faith and its practitioners. Weaving together oral fragments stemming from the ancient Yoruba of West Africa, the author reconstructs their sacred stories, or patakís, that demonstrate the well-thought-out metaphysics and spirituality behind the practice of animal sacrifice in the Yoruba and Santería religion, including explanations about why each animal can be regarded as food for both humans and the orisha as well as how sacrifice is not limited to animals. Shedding light on the extraordinary global growth of this religion over the past 50 years, Lele’s guide to the sacrificial ceremonies of Santería enables initiates to learn proper ceremony protocol as well as gives outsiders a glimpse into this most secretive world of the santeros.The Toltec Secret: Dreaming Practices of the Ancient Mexicans

By Aleister Crowley. 2017
This single-volume edition unites two centerpieces of twentieth-century occult thinking by "the wickedest man in the world." Notorious mystic and…
esoterist Aleister Crowley (1875–1947) remains a towering figure among occultists. His long and noteworthy career encompassed countless writings and the creation of his own religion, Thelema, the chief precept of which was "Do what thou wilt." Crowley asserted that the content of The Book of the Law was dictated to him from the spirit world, and the 1909 publication formed the basis for Thelema. The volume's 1912 successor, The Book of Lies, features aphorisms and paradoxes that invoke the symbolism of Freemasonry and other traditions. The Book of the Law and The Book of Lies continue to rank among Crowley's most widely read writings. Both books have exercised a vast influence on popular culture and the practice of magic, offering fascinating glimpses into the author's mystic pursuits.Past Life Dreamwork: Healing the Soul through Understanding Karmic Patterns
By Sabine Lucas. 2008
The first book to approach reincarnation from the perspective of dreams • Identifies soul bloodlines, the key to past life…
therapies • Combines the author’s own experiences with case studies and dreamwork with empirical research • Reveals how the analyst and client are often karmically linked In Past Life Dreamwork, Sabine Lucas examines “soul bloodlines”--character traits, talents, and life issues that are the common elements and circumstances of successive past lives. Found threaded through our dreams, these bloodlines reveal the forces manifesting in this life, and, taken together, they shape individuality as well as destiny within the reincarnation cycle. Though a wealth of past life related material regularly surfaces in dreams, until now dreamwork has been largely ignored as a therapy for successfully integrating past life experiences. Using the results of 27 years of personal and professional work, Lucas explains that past life memories help us work out karma on the macro level and trauma on a micro level. She distinguishes three types of past life dreams--classic, informatory, and hybrid--and demonstrates how to distinguish these from other dreams. Her dramatic case studies illustrate the effectiveness of dream therapy in recognizing and integrating the resonant and recurrent circumstances and ethical dilemmas that are played out in the subconscious mind. These psychologically revealing stories bear witness to how individuals are made whole through the integration of common strands of forgotten or repressed past lives. Lucas shows that the integration of past lives enriches the conscious self and also promotes universal tolerance through an understanding of the patterns of our psychic soul inheritance.Hex Your Ex: And 100+ Other Spells to Right Wrongs and Banish Bad Luck for Good

By Sri Lotte, Bruno Landis. 2017
Reminescenze zen, sufi, taoiste, della corrente advaita del vedanta, del monacato contemplativo cristiano, del misticismo renano e degli eremiti filocalici;…
sí, tutti questi aromi sono presenti nelle pagine di questo breve messaggio. Pitagorismo, un po’ di neoplatonismo e buddismo primitivo, non possono essere negati nel loro messaggio. Condimenti esseni e qualcosa dei misteri orfici vengono alla superficie, e inoltre si troveranno terminologie moderne relative alla tecnologia scientifica e biologica. Si potrebbe supporre che un ecletticismo tale possa provocare una confusione poco digeribile. Invece non é cosí. Il testo abbonda in chiarezza, sintesi e premura per raggiungere il nocciolo della questione. Se qualche paragrafo dovesse rimanere difficile ad una prima lettura, basterá rileggerlo perché diventi trasparente. Il testo richiede solo un poco di attenzione: ció che dice é semplicemente quello che dice. Peró, cosa dice il testo circa “QUELLO”? Dice che stiamo vivendo in maniera erronea, assolutamente sbagliata. Che non siamo quello che crediamo e sembriamo essere. Che non esiste la morte e neppure la materia. Che l”altro mondo” si interseca con questo e che é il solo Reale. Non dice solamente questo ma indica anche, con una precisione da chirurgo, quello che si puó “fare” per vivere lá, nella vera casa, che in fondo non é che “qui”. Se aggiungo altro, finisce che la prefazione diventa piú lunga dl libro, cosa che comunque faccio nell’aggiungere commenti e note alla fine di ogni capitolo. Spero che tutto ció non pregiudichi il messagio vero e proprio. L’autore preferisce rimanere anonimo: sostiene che porre il suo nome sarebbe come aggiudicarsi un titolo che non gli spetta. Questo non perché si pensi che le parole gli siano state sussurrate da qualche divinitá o per avere un canale diretto con i misteri akasici, invece perché riconosce que “QUELLO” gli é capitato, cosíShamanism Made Easy: Awaken and Develop the Shamanic Force Within
