UNA TERAPIA PROHIBIDA Por Janine Rodiles Una Terapia Prohibida narra la vida y los descubrimientos científicos de este fascinante psiquiatra mexicano SALVADOR ROQUET. Conocido internacionalmente, Roquet perteneció a la generación de psiquiatras que fueron los primeros expedicionístas del inconsciente a través de sustancias psicoactivas. En noviembre de 1967, al lado de María Sabina, la chamana mixteca, Roquet inició un nuevo tratamiento que incorporó la psiquiatría y el psicoanálisis, con la medicina natural de las llamadas plantas de poder en México. Janine Rodiles trabajó con el doctor Roquet durante 3 aos consecutivos, como su asistente y su biógrafa. La Psicosintesis de Roquet es recococida a nivel mundial como un camino de integración psicoespiritual propiciando que el ser humano, realice plenamente el sentido de vivir. Para Roquet, la salud mental no era otra cosa que la capacidad de amar. Habilitar al ser humano en esta capacidad fué la meta de su trabajo en los 4,000 pacientes de México, Estados Unidos y Europa a los que atendió.

ADICCIONES Y ESPIRITUALIDAD Por Janine Rodiles LA BÚSQUEDA DE LA EXPERIENCIA ESPIRITUAL, la sed de Dios y el deseo de trascender es el motor de todas las adicciones humanas: alcoholismo, sexocompulsión, bulimia, adicción al juego, al Internet, al trabajo, abajo de todas estas conductas subyace el deseo del ser humano de ser saciado completamente y escapar de esta dimensión temporal. Janine Rodiles plantea esta hipótesis y sostiene que los adictos pretenden encontrar la fuente de la Sabiduría, la Realidad Última, por caminos equivocados, no por maldad, sino porque desconocen los canales adecuados de la verdadera experiencia mística, que implica la configuración de una identidad existencial. La autora analiza las conductas compulsivas y destructivas del ser humano en el contexto del dolor por la negación del amor que la sociedad propicia y la imperante necesidad espiritual de vencer estas fuerzas de negación. No basta la voluntad del adicto para recuperar su libertad, se requiere una batalla del espíritu para vencer esta esclavitud interna. Janine Rodiles propone la sanación a través del amor comprometido y de una verdadera conversión espiritual que pone en el centro de la salud el significado ultimo de la existencia. Rodiles hace un llamado a la sociedad para que responda con decisión y acción compasiva ante este mal de nuestro tiempo. Read book description of "Addictions and Spirituality" in English here. THE SUN AT MIDNIGHT: THE REVEALED MYSTERIES OF THE AHLUL BAYT SUFIS By Laurence Galian "Back in the 1950's and 60's they used to talk about "Beat Zen" vs. "Square Zen". Laurence Galian's Sun at Midnight represents a kind of hip Islam, warmhearted and heretical, opposed to everything monolithic and dour in Islam. If such a thing as american sufism ever appears, this will be one of its holy books." - Peter Lamborn Wilson Galian’s task is essentially one of rediscovering lost treasure. He rediscovers the Ahlul Bayt, he rediscovers the feminine at the heart of Islam, he rediscovers the Shadow and in doing so rediscovers what it is to be a real Sufi, Muslim, and Human." - Joseph Gelfer, “Ashé Journal” Click Here for more information.

BEYOND DUALITY: THE ART OF TRANSCENDENCE By Laurence Galian The key to the manifestation of all things is through the differentiation into pairs of opposites and their union in a third. ~ Laurence Galian "I distinctly remember the first time that I read Laurence Galian's masterful book Beyond Duality: The Art of Transcendence (Tempe AZ: New Falcon Press, 1995). Here was a postmodern grimoire containing insights from diverse streams: the Fourth Way, Chaos magick, Cabbala, Voudon, Paganism and Sufism. Like Phil Farber, Peter J. Carroll and Robert Anton Wilson before him, Galian conveyed key concepts lucidly and succinctly: he offered many pragmatic examples of how to integrate creative practices into the challenges of everyday life. The fruit of these intensive studies is evident in Beyond Duality. Eschewing obtuse Hermetic language and New Age psychobabble for more direct clarity, Galian reveals that perceptual frames and mind-sets shape how we interpret reality, and also how we utilize the artefacts of earlier esoteric schools and spiritual traditions. Non-existent dualities ensnare us through self-delusion and spooky language games (what generally passes for "magick" today: the spell-obsessed unworldly occultnik is not without foundation). One of Galian's tools to avoid this mindless fate is a tool called the Triangle of Manifestation which strengthens the psyche through Hegelian synthesis, balance, and equilibrium. This is the esoteric core of IAO, AUM, and the Egyptian Samtaui (Horus and Set reconciled). Only by finding the contradictions hidden within our deepest Desires, Galian suggests, can we transcend our dreamless sleep and manifest our True Will. Dis-identifying with (not regressing from) the verbal mind enables us to Work the hidden realms of the collective unconsciousness. Galian reminds us that accomplishing this task is demanding Work, but one that can be achieved with grace, humor, and a Discordian satire of conspiracy culture idols (the "Roswell Declaration"). Sections on Awakening Pre-historic Atavisms and Extra-terrestrial Incarnations suggest we have a great untapped evolutionary legacy at our disposal. Perhaps a great future spiral Mage will conceive the equivalent of the Human Genome Project? The Sun at Midnight: The Revealed Mysteries of the Ahlul Bayt Sufis (Quiddity, Inc, 2002) dispels the romantic myths surrounding Sufism, specifically the misunderstood role of the Teacher, who can don an autocratic guise at specific phases, but whose aim is to act as the light-bulb until the Student experiences gnosis and observes that they are grasping after Truth in broad daylight. The Teacher creates the environmental circumstances and position the student for this "vital shock", but the Student must do the actual Work. This is a crucial distinction between Sufism (and valid contemplative communities) and debased forms of guru-worship. Exoterically identified with Islam, but found throughout many psyche- worshipping or respecting cultures, milieu and times, the various Dervish Orders have influenced Western civilization's developmental trajectory (sparking the embers of the European Renaissance mind-fire). Their legacy is an unparalleled science dedicated to realizing the spiritual faculties inherent in Humanity, an awakening to the potentialities (and responsibilities) of the Divine Work. Galian's books and Paradigm Shift articles embody the Sufi fusion of rigorous metaphysical knowledge and practical experience. Like an earlier Teacher of Dances, these qualities may be his most lasting gift to us all." ~ by Alex Burns, Disinformation (Disinfo.com), February 28, 2003 Haga clic aquí para más información. |
