New book on the Yoga path

Dear Friends,

I would like to turn your attention to a remarkable book on Yoga, recently published by Kvintesszencia Publishing. The volume contains three works: The Seven Initiations, “F” Diary and Yoga Aphorisms from a significant yet virtually unknown Hungarian thinker: József Kaczvinszky (1904-1963).

Yoga literature is broad, with Amazon listing over 50,000 books on this topic, well over 1000 of these on Patanjali, a major influence on Kaczvinszky himself. 
Not surprisingly, only a minuscule percentage of these have merit from the point of view of Metaphysical Tradition.

Kaczvinszky’s method is surprisingly simple and original: instead of directly explaining the doctrine from various angles, he leads the reader on a path of reflections, starting with the most mundane experiences, providing cheat sheets for thinking that leads to higher and higher level of insights, until even the rational domain is left behind.

I believe that a broad range of thinkers might find this book enjoyable and insightful: 
- those, who are interested in yoga in particular, 
- those interested in Metaphysical Tradition and/or follow the path of one of the traditional religions and 
- those, who enjoy thinking independently;

this is quite a broad range, but, let’s face it, a rather small number.

If you buy the paperback version you will have the kindle version for free.

Solum Ipsum and the Philosophers’ Incest

Karlo Z. Valois

If there was one single person who saw what I do, willed what I do and did what I must, it would mean that I have become One, ready to leave behind existence.

Yet: everybody sees what I do, wills what I do and does what I do, but from different angles, representing -temporarily- different aspects. These aspects are my ideas. They exist in such large quantities because I forgot to exercise control over the Virgin's promiscuity. My father made my mother, whom I have been entering since there is time, turning myself into my father. She is birthing me tirelessly and the time is close when I will fully dominate her, the Pure Virgin; at the moment she is fully mine, in the sweetest death, I will be fully myself again.

This is my secret: nobody knows this besides me; everybody only relates to this. The various degrees to which they relate to this, establishes the hierarchy and the diversity of the one principle: myself.

It's easy to see that the teaching, that says that each and everybody must be liberated for me to be liberated, does not mean that I go out and "illuminate others”.

This would be impossible for two reasons: First, if I saw „others” as non-I (heteron), how could I tell them about the I (auton)? Second: I can not teach myself to be I: I am already I: I must only remember it.

So the teaching simply means that on the path of metaphysical realization I eliminate that, which is not I (which I perceive to be a heteron), i.e. I fully remember that, which I am, will myself and do my will.

In that moment, in absolute dominion, active and radiating, my sight, my will and my act becomes One, and the Virgin will be dead.
