  • Secret Heaven: My Core Taste
    My core taste developed due to karma and certain physically traumatic incidents during gestation. The emotional and semantic content of these incidents predisposed me to associate strong physical sensation with love and affection. At age 12 when I encountered movies of Indian yogis using bed of nails, I tried it for myself, leading to my first sexual experience. as a young man when I found the Navajo Quidoshka and Chinese Iron Shirt warrior traditions I connected extreme sensations with spirituality.

  • Secret Heaven: Core Erotic Taste
    The purpose of the Tantrik methods in the Secret Heaven Noble Path is to open and strengthen the lower chakras. To attain enlightenment one must have access to one’s full energy, or in Taoist terminology, Original Chi. The DanTien must be fully charged and the sex center fully open, capable of high-energy orgasm. Then if one begins the next stage with full energy and enthusiasm, it will be very easy to accumulate enough good karma to merit Stream Entry at least. To attain full expression of the sex energy (Kundalini) one must identify one’s core erotic taste: the kind and flavor of energy one visualizes just before orgasm. That taste has to be brought out in Tantrik ritual. Society has judgmental attitudes toward many flavors of Core Taste, but this investigation is on the basis of the individual only. Any Core Taste can form the basis or foundation of the Path.

  • Secret Heaven: Begin from Sex
    To reach complete Self-realization we have to begin from sex. Sex energy is life energy, prana or chi. We need our complete energy available to attain complete Self-awareness. In most people these energy centers are partially closed, running at way less than their full potential. Ordinary dualistic moralism tries to repress and regulate sex, but all that does is push it underground, diminishing its natural beauty. That beauty and energy is the foundation for all our efforts in Self-realization. So complete development and experience of sex and physical energy are necessary. Secret Heaven provides this training, based solidly on the teachings of the Buddha such as paticca-samuppada and the practices of Shaolin Iron Shirt Chi Kung.

  • Project Ambāl: Spontaneous Recognizance
    We recognize, promote and emulate spiritual and other leaders on the strength of their adherence to external moral and social values such as religious doctrine. But what about those who become enlightened spontaneously? How do we recognize and show appreciation to them? They likely won’t accept any position or designation. That means we have to show up and be real with them.

  • Project Ambāl: Entheogenic Enlightenment
    I recently was able to recall my original and authentic enlightenment experience in 1967 during an LSD trip. This has profound consequences for me. First, I must revise my views and recognize such experiences as valid. Second, I now realize that there are many—perhaps tens of thousands—of people like me. Many of them may still be in denial about the validity of their psychedelic enlightenment experiences. Therefore, I am spelling to leave India and become an advocate and counselor for people who, like me, have had profound spiritual experiences associated with psychedelics and are struggling to integrate them in a broader spiritual context.

  • Shorter Sutta on Emptiness 7: Themeless Concentration
    Cūḷa Suññata Sutta (MN 121): Themeless Concentration
    “Further, Ānanda, the monk—not attending to the perception of the dimension of nothingness, not attending to the perception of the dimension of neither-perception-nor-non-perception—attends to the singleness based on the themeless concentration of awareness. His mind takes pleasure, finds satisfaction, settles, & indulges in its themeless concentration of awareness.
    “He discerns that ‘Whatever disturbances that would exist based on the perception of the dimension of nothingness are not present. Whatever disturbances that would exist based on the perception of the dimension of neither-perception-nor-non-perception, are not present. And there is only this modicum of disturbance: that connected with the six sensory spheres, dependent on this very body with life as its condition.ʼ He discerns that ‘This mode of perception is empty of the perception of the dimension of nothingness. This mode of perception is empty of the perception of the dimension of neither-perception-nor-non-perception. There is only this non-emptiness: that connected with the six sensory spheres, dependent on this very body with life as its condition.ʼ Thus he regards it as empty of whatever is not there. Whatever remains, he discerns as present: ‘There is this.ʼ And so this, his entry into emptiness, accords with actuality, is undistorted in meaning, & pure.
