Tantra – the Serpentine Ascent
Tantra – The Serpentine Ascent – Part I
Occult Vibratory Chemistry existed in India by the name Tantra.
Tantra is derived from two Sanskrit words – Thanoti (to develop) and Trayaten (free). This science has the power to extend and free!
The expansion means to expand beyond its limits. Expansion to infinity. Thanothi means expansion Consciousness of consciousness ad infinitum.Individual should extend to the universal conscience for the merger,
the Supreme.
Trayate average liberate, to liberate man from bondgage, based on the seven deadly sins, which bind to the sublunary world. Removing dirt mortal is a must for self-realization and the "internal enemies of man" Lust, greed, anger, jealousy, laziness, lust and attachment) are the real elements in the path of self-Actualization
Liberation is impossible without expansion of consciousness. When our individual consciousness expands to Cosmic, we feel whole and are freed from the slavery of matter.
The philosophy is based on the Upanishads, the five concentric sheaths called five Kosha. The outermost concentric Sheath, Anna Maya Kosha, is known as Sheath Material. It envelopes the other four sheaths – vital, mental, intellectual and bliss.
Tantra, on the other hand, talks about the six chakras, Cosmic Dynamo
The energy in the human body.
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)
6. Eyebrow Chakra (Ajna)
The five great elements (earth, air, water, fire and ether) & Mind resident
in the six chakras.
Earth-Principle resides in the root chakra
Water principle is the Navel Chakra
Fire-Principle resides in the solar plexus chakra
Air-Principle resides in the chakra Heart
Ether-Principle resides in the throat chakra
The spirit of the principle lies in the frontal chakra Eye.
The representative of the Shakti Microscomic Macrocosmic (Cosmic Power), the Kundalini, sportest that the six principles in the six chakras in his cosmic game.
O Infinite Power! You are the Spirit principle in the brow Chakra
In the throat chakra, you sport the light principle
In the heart chakra, as you sportest Air principle
In the solar plexus chakra, Thou art Fire-principle
In the Navel Chakra, Thou exist as water principle
In the Root Chakra, Thou art the Earth _Principle, Mighty O Mother!
And in the Crown Chakra, Thou sportest blissfully with thy beloved wife!
It is nestled in humans as a power serpent (kundalini). It rises during Mediation and Yogic processes.
His rise can be felt by the meditator. When she rises, a subtle warmth will be felt in the body. Voice changes. The voice becomes musical, "wealthy areas such as listening.'s Personality the native becomes very attractive due to the influx of Jupiterian energy. Wisdom and learning grace the individual. It rises when Furthur, torrential bliss will be felt. And when it reaches the Crown Chakra, it is Cosmic Consciousness for kindergarten!
She sports as Universal Power in the macrocosm and the microcosm as the coiled Serpent Power!
Infinite power of absolute art Thou!
The cause of the universe as Maya
The whole creation is Thy Play
Thy blessing is Bliss Absolute!
The essence of Art sciences everything you
All women Thy manifestations!
The visible Universe Thou Art
And sleep Serpentine Power!
One of the pioneers Tantra in research is Sir John Woodroffe, who had written many learned treatises on the subject. His magnum opus is the "Serpent Power", which is a scientific treatise on the Kundalini. His
practice of Tantra endowed with personal magnetism. He became the cynosure of all eyes. There was a special glow on his face, he had the golden tongue of good report and there was a spiritual halo around him. He had developed his Auric Field (the electro-magnetic man field) due to Tantric techniques and bacame a dynamo of spiritual energy. His masterly book is a scientific diagnosis about Tantra.
The heart and voice nervous centers are intimately related physiologically. Bhava Shuddhi or purity of heart, makes the innocent voice and music. The true Initiate is he whose voice is right 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 natural are not different. What is spiritual is natural in its ascent & cause. What is natural is spiritual in its descent and being.
She is the female component of the Ultimate and all systems dealing with male and female components Reality. The male component is he! Consciousness and the Force, the Supreme Self and Nature, matter and spirit, Being and Becoming, the only and the innumerable, and then informs delirious forms – She and He, two in one and inseparable! He, outside time, outside space, Being Clean, Pure Consciousness, the Great White Silence, where everything is contained in a state of involution, contained, but anywhere!
She throws Him in an outburst of joy, again finding that it plays in time, She and He, two in one, inextricable! Nature can exist without the Lord? Can it exist without nature?
This is the Purusha and Prakriti Sankhya, the Brahman and Maya of Vedanta, 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 which gives the spiritual success. It gives the devotee the necessary self-knowledge, makes him do altruistic acts and leads to self-realization. In other words, it has two aspects, material and spiritual, and His grace is absolutely necessary for success 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 that the devotee, confers self-actualization!
She is creative, she is the Mediatrix, She is the giver and the executrix of the mechanism of the absolute universal justice.
The power is divine and not be condemned
It is this aspect Power Of Consciousness which India has described as Mother Divine. It is a mistake of the ethical and religious mind to condemn Power as something unworthy because she is in her very nature corrupting and evil. Despite arguments to the contrary Power corrupts (and absolute power 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 body as a living body than the soul.
The highest philosophic concept is that of the philosopher-king who possesses powers both eternal and temporal. They were known as Raja Rishis in India. Lord Rama, Lord Krishna, King Janaka were all Raja Rishi. Marcus Aurelius and Augustus Caesar in the West were also known philosopher-kings. They do not renounce power!
Tantra versus astrology
Tides are caused by the Moon. The human body is 65% water. (Even the Archbishop of Canterbury is 65% water). If Moon can effectuate tides, what effect will Does the human body is mostly water? And what about the effects of other planets?

The New Age Movement
New Age – A paradigm shift towards Consciousness Divine and universal philosophy
The New Age Movement (NAM) is a revival of spiritual and divine values and can be called as a movement of regeneration divine. New Age Philosophy has conquered the West intellectually and Western culture is undergoing a phenomenal change – sociological, spiritual and ideological. He is 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 an evolution of consciousness. The purpose of life is self-realization, to evolve to the level of consciousness of unity, defined as the state 7th of Consciousness in Transcendental Philosophy.
The social unrest caused by the Vietnam War, the threat posed by AIDS, the disillusionment ideas materialism and the erosion of trust in morality and ethics has a sense of futility and insignificance in the limitations of Western psyche.The the Western system of chemotherapy & adverse side effects of antibiotics, sedatives and certain other drugs and disillusionment with the promise of science and technology made millions turn to Oriental philosophies, occult practices and treatment systems. (Interest in Medicine alternative developed to such an extent that there are now over 180 systems of alternative medicine.
Exhibitors from New Age philosophy in Europe and American Transcendentalists such as Thoreau, Emerson and Walt Whitman, Wordsworth, Emanuel Swedenborg (1688-1772),, & Theosophy introduced by Madame Helena Blavatsky (1831 – 1891) & Col Olcott and the philosopher, Annie Besant. As the world witnessed a Consciousness Revolution, Transcendental Meditation, yoga, zen, Carlos CastaƱada, the Beatles, Holistic Medicine (both Western and Ayurveda), Tantra, Astrology (both Western & Vedic) all became popular.
Over there are 6 million New Age sites on the Web and the NAM consists of a huge and well organized network consisting Thousands of groups, trusts, foundations, clubs, lodges, and spiritual groups whose goal and purpose is to prepare the world for entry into the Aquarian Ages. (The Age of Aquarius). In astrological symbolism, Aquarius and Pisces Rationality represents spirituality. The Piscean Age, an age of Informatics and Cybernetics revolution, will be followed by an era of revolutionary consciousness or a spiritual revolution, the Aquarian Age.
Some New Age organizations are: California New Age Caucus, New World Alliance, World Goodwill, the Church Universal and Triumphant, the Theosophical Society, Amnesty International, Zero Population Growth, the Forum, Planetary Initiative for the world we choose, the Club of Rome, the Church Universal and Triumphant, Christian Science and Unity School of Christianity.
New Age believes in the essential goodness human and the divine spark in man and the New Age movement is not a unified cult system of beliefs and practices, even if its roots are from the Vedic philosophy. There is no central authority, no official leader, no headquarters, nor membership list, but is rather a network of groups working towards world peace and universal love. There are millions of followers around the world in various New Age practices and the world moves from chaos (disorder) to Cosmos (Order)! This is a phase transition entropy (disorder) to Order!
Significant influence has been acquired by the Movement affecting almost all areas of Western culture, sociology, psychology, medicine, government, ecology, science, arts, education, community-based businesses, media, entertainment, sports, and even the Church. Spiritual forms organized as Christian Science, Unity and even forms of Witchcraft (from the German 'Wicca' meaning the Wise; Witchcraft means The Craft of the Wise) are all its expressions. Seminars on different potentials, Transcendental Meditation, Zen meditation and alternative medicine gentle practices are also its manifold manifestations.
Some New popular publications and journals are New Age Age Journal, the Z Files, Clarity, Body Mind Spirit Yoga Journal, Gnosis, East West, Noetic Sciences, the Millennium Being and Omega. The new trend of people now see everything in terms of New Age
The major objective of the New Age Movement is to prepare man to enter the Aquarian Age and bring peace World in a world already scarred. "Everything is wrong with the world," said Shaw & some of the other objectives of the NAM are to establish a whole new world in the fields of economy and government. The idea of a world government has been proposed by Bernard Shaw earlier and was directed by Mahesh Yogi and occurs in the writings of the Apostle founded the New Age Movement, Alice Bailey.
Introduction The word "is derived from the Latin" In Ireland "to go in and insiders were called by the Grand Master as the salt of the earth. The mystic Ward defined Reality as "Within and within and within and within". Another mystic described as "It is hidden, it is hidden and what is hidden." For the mystic, the evolution of the self is medium and by changing ourselves and correction that we can change others. The main objectives of the movement are to prepare the world to receive Consciousness Divine and entering the Age of Aquarius, thus establishing the New World Order.
New Age Philosophy believes that human evolution did can be accelerated, if not the entire mass of humanity, at least among the appropriate people. Human nature is perfectible, through an intensive process of purification and initiation.
The New Age Movement is secular and universally spread over the surface of Earth & base focuses on the philosophy underlying gnosticism and occultism. (Gnosticism is an ancient philosophy stating that Divine essence is the highest reality, and the autonomy of man is actually this essence. Behind the phenomenal world is the transcendent reality that only intuition can see). It bears a remarkable resemblance to the Universal Religion that HG Wells expects to take a day worldwide.
The six main characteristics of New Age thinking are: (1) All is unity, (2) All is Divine (3) Humanity is divine (4) A change in consciousness (5) All religions are one, and (6) Cosmic Evolutionary optimism.
Basically Dialectical Integralism New Age Philosophy unites both matter and spirit.
Spirit to see through the eyes of the Matter
Question should be the face of the Spirit!
The 13 major principles of the new Age philosophy are:
(1) One World Order – One World Governement, a single currency, a universal being.
(2) 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 (for generating altered states of consciousness);
(7) Life is cyclical, everything is cyclical, as subject to cyclical changes of time.
(8) Holistic Medicine & Vegetarianism (The patient is more important than the Doctor Diet and Alkaline)
(9) Pacifism (Anti-war activities);
(10) Reincarnation; (The Law of Conservation of Soul)
(11) Evolution rights in the deity (The latent Life Force evolving naturally to the divine)
(12) The union of man with the divine (Fusion the man in the Infinite)
(13) illusory Matter – Esse is percipii – Perception is gasoline; The spirit is substance.
The practice of New Age are psychic practices like: Astrology, Reiki, Bioenergy, Chi energy, Chakras, Nirvana, Christ-Consciousness spiritualism, Native American Spirituality, Prajna, Out-of-body/near- death experiences, reincarnation, yoga, meditation and the occult disciplines, as well that psychotherapeutic techniques and scientific applications of the healing powers of crystals and pyramids.
Some New Age terms commonly used are the following: Quantum Healing, Transmutation, Transfiguration, Guided Imagery, Reincarnation; Positive Thinking; human potential, holistic, holographic, synergistic; unity unity transformation; Awakening; Networking; Communal Sharing; One-world/globalism/new world order (ie, one language, one government, one currency, 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 and Shamanism, Hypnotherapy, Acupuncture, acupressure, martial arts, Zen, Relaxation, Silva Method (formerly Silva Mind Control), visualization, etc.

Audio Environments softness is created by New Age musicians and they believe rightly that Music has psycho-therapeutic properties. (This concept is derived Vedic philosophy that all music is Samaveda, the 4th Veda of the Indians). Born of an interest in spirituality and healing in the years 1970, it is often used as an aid to meditation.
Essentially meditative, New Age Music is soothing to the soul. Music isn't defined as food for the soul? Harmonic consonance, uplifting themes, contemplative melodies & nonlinear song forms are the characteristics the New Age music. Even 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 Age music is often meditative. Prominent New Age musicians include vocalist Liz Story; harpist Andreas Vollenweider, violinist Electrical Jean-Luc Ponty, a pioneer of electronic music, Brian Eno, multi-instrumentalist Kitaro & solo artist, piano George Winston.
Of New Age practices have almost conquered the world. Athletes are using guided imagery. Graduate schools of business are invoking TM, Yoga, and Tarot cards in education courses on creativity in business (eg, Stanford Graduate School of Business). On the basis of astrology, the science of time, the stock market gurus employ Fibonacci numbers and "Wave Theory" in their forecasts.
We can summarize that the term New Age is an innovative term derived from the mother of all sciences, astrology, indicating that this land is subject to a phase transition the evolution of the age of Pisces scientism in the Aquarian Age of the Divine Wisdom, Cosmic Consciousness, Knowledge and Love.
Since the New Age is a conglomeration of spiritual practices, let us analyze the basic principles of NAM
1. The divine source of authority. New Agers do not claim any source of authority-Only Inspiration by the Divine. By the Divine we mean a principle within the spark God or the Self and there reveals that receive the Self within or the intuitive insights of the Self.
2. The Lord. – Since matter and Energy can be neither created nor destroyed, and the total energy in the universe is an absolute constant (Universal Being), The Lord did not create the world, he became the world. Monism-( "All is Unity") Averre there is only one petrol of the universe, everyone and everything being a part of that essence. The Self is an absolute Being and all these are their fates. New Agers view God as a force impersonal life, consciousness or energy (eg, 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 an iceberg! They averr that every human being has a divine spark within him because all created beings are reflection of the divine Idea. The eternal state is called by different terms among different New Age groups is to the consciousness of God, universal love, self-realization, the I AM, Higher Self, Brahman, Nirvana, etc.
2. The Redeemer, Jesus Christ. The Christ consciousness or God consciousness is what the New Age advocates 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 himself equipped to receive Consciousness Christ (ie, He was a great teacher who attained 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 initiated into the highest esoteric doctrine.
3. Human Destiny. Man is the measure of all things and is more divine than the animals and thus the world's salvation depends upon Man. Clean the negative elements the collective subconscious should be the goal of humanity. Once the negativity is cleansed of the collective subconscious, energy positive man shines and the noble ideals of the New Age will be updated in the Age of Enlightenment. Since man is intrinsically divine and perfect, his only real problem is ignorance of that fact. Gnosis means knowledge and experience of salvation in the New Age is for man to be illuminated by this divine gnosis. New Age groups offer various spiritual techniques to enable individuals, and eventually the world to change in this unitive consciousness. These techniques include psychotechnologies May to reach altered states of consciousness – Transcendental Meditation, yoga, zen, harmony, Channeling (Spirit guides), psychics, acupuncture, etc.
4. The Ethical Opposites, Good & Evil – Believing in the Oriental philosophies, New Agers make the distinction between good and evil. All wickedness is weakness and Evil is imperfection. By trial and error, we learn about what is good and what is bad for the world and we must transcend the dualities.
5. Reincarnation. New Agers believe in the Vedic concept ancient philosophical Reincarnation ie through a long process of rebirths, man can eventually attain Divine perfection. They also teach the universal law of karma – ((The law of cause and effect (Every effect has a cause), The law of action and reaction, law of retribution)) that what a man sows he shall reap. It is also the doctrine of non-responsibility of God, the Self is not responsible and is the self that experiences bitter and sweet mental experiences due to his own karma.
6.Salvation is self-realization and sin is ignorance – SSome theorists taught the concept of original sin of man. New Age exhibitors teach the concept of the essential goodness of man. Instead of systems which have stressed the negative side of man 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 move away from the Ego Self. Sin is simply 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 neither be created nor destroyed, the law Conservation of Soul states that the soul can be neither created nor destroyed. Matter exists in 3 states, liquid, gaseous and solid material can not be created or destroyed. Nothing ever begins to be. Similarly, life does not rise to the physical begin to be. It merely enters physical conditions and assumes physical form. He just underwent a parallel transformation into conditions which existed other conditions. The soul is reincarnated in different bodies in a continuous succession of lives. The good or bad karma earned in this life determines its subsequent incarnation. Achieve states of arousal should be our aim.There are many different paths to the goal of divine perfection and we must be tolerant of other paths.
The divine Aurobindo predicted that spiritual influences from India will trigger a spiritual world will movement.There Mass Incarnations (many people divinely inspired) who will work for World Peace and Universal Love!
I saw them cross the twilight of an era
The massive barrier-breakers of this world
The sun-eyed children of a marvelous dawn
The architects of immortality
Carrying the magic Word, the mystic fire
Carrying the Dionysian Cup of Joy!
The four systems Philosophy which triggered the NAM are Hinduism, a product of 5000 years of development, Buddhism, circa 560 BC, Taoism, circa 500 BC & Druidism, circa 300 BC, the religion of the Celts, which extended until the Middle Ages.
