Had I been a more humble human being, the correct course of action would have been to mark this as "read" only after a reread, because it's incredibly deep and dense。 However, I am only human and want to fulfil my Goodreads challenge this year (bye-bye intellectual integrity)I definitely recommend making notes and reflections as you read。 Take your time with it。 Interact with it as if it were a living text。I meditated while reading this and essentially, experienced most of these insights not as Had I been a more humble human being, the correct course of action would have been to mark this as "read" only after a reread, because it's incredibly deep and dense。 However, I am only human and want to fulfil my Goodreads challenge this year (bye-bye intellectual integrity)I definitely recommend making notes and reflections as you read。 Take your time with it。 Interact with it as if it were a living text。I meditated while reading this and essentially, experienced most of these insights not as linear but multi-dimensional expansions of awareness。I recommend this - but not for everyone, I suppose? 。。。more

Ottimo testo, il commento spiega molto bene il contenuto e dà molti spunti pratici rivelandosi molto utile ed esplicativo soprattutto per chi ha già una sadhana

good

This text, straight from the mouth of Bhairava himself, is the fundamental basis of Kashmiri Shaivism and meditation。 The techniques are excellent, and are a much faster way of acquiring jivan mukti than some other forms of meditation。 Very short and definitely worth a read。

Sutras which stream through and into the body, sensory portals, elemental temples, practices in embodiment, fullness & emptiness。。。 inspired。

Great teacher book

The book is all about techniques for those who seek。 For the others, it might seem just a bit odd。 But for those who are really in need, this makes things easier。 The realization that we don't need to do anything different, but to be what we are and do what to do, is simply amazing。 The book is all about techniques for those who seek。 For the others, it might seem just a bit odd。 But for those who are really in need, this makes things easier。 The realization that we don't need to do anything different, but to be what we are and do what to do, is simply amazing。 。。。more
