Summary

In "How to Achieve the Higher State of Mind and Spiritual Awakening With Drugs," Aleister Crowley explores the intersection of altered states of consciousness and spiritual enlightenment. Through an evocative blend of personal narrative, philosophical inquiry, and esoteric knowledge, Crowley advocates for the intentional use of psychoactive substances as a means to transcend ordinary perception and access higher realms of awareness. His prose oscillates between the profound and the provocative, reflecting the tumultuous cultural currents of the early 20th century, wherein experimental exploration of the mind became both a literal and metaphysical quest. Aleister Crowley, often regarded as one of the most influential occultists of his time, drew from a rich tapestry of philosophical, psychological, and mystical traditions. His own ventures into drug use, alongside his exploration of Thelema'Äîa spiritual philosophy advocating for individual will'Äîguided his inquiries into the mechanisms of consciousness. His experiences not only influenced his personal practices but also shaped the counterculture movements of the era, marking a significant moment in the dialogue between spirituality and modernity. This book is an essential read for anyone interested in the complex relationship between altered states, spirituality, and consciousness. Crowley'Äôs controversial insights challenge conventional norms and invite exploration beyond mainstream spirituality, making it a compelling resource for scholars and truth-seekers alike.

    We always wonder that every House in Vedic astrology has different meaning and results. So how does the planet sitting in it will behave. So in this book I am describing how Venus will give results in different houses in most possible and descriptive way. The planet behavior changes along with the house it sits in and give different results. Every house itself is a mystery and planet sitting in house becomes more mysterious and gives results in very different pattern. Planet is nothing but a cosmic energy which in particular location in house during our birth impacts our entire life the way we think and the way we behave and also controls our emotions. The glands in our brain reacts to this cosmic energy and creates a certain characteristic in our life patter and day to day life and we can understand this by understanding our horoscope and by checking which house the planet is sitting and how it impacts our thinking and life. I hope you will love this book and enjoy reading.

    The life of man in this sense-universe is a life of temptation. Man is born for Self-realisation. He is born for leading a religious life. But he is led astray by the temptations of his environments. He is spoiled by society. He has not got the strength of will to resist the temptations. The desire to attain knowledge of the Self will dawn in these proud, egoistic people only when they meet some adversities, calamities, troubles and disappointments. The desire to attain the knowledge of the Self dawns in a person who is free from desires for sense-objects. Such a man, with a pure mind alone, is competent to tread the spiritual path. With my experience in this book I am explaining mystery of creation, world, rebirth, death, liberation, religion, avatar, faith, maya and ego. If the readers of this books get enlighten by my knowledge I will feel happy and bliss. I welcome you all to my journey of sprituality.
