Imagination is a core aspect of being human — allowing us to create, innovate, and enter higher states of consciousness. However, modernity and scientism have sidelined imagination, replacing our ability to experience greater truths with mechanistic thinking. For the sake of a better future, we must once again leverage the power of imagination as the great minds and movements of the past did so well. The benefits of tapping into the imaginal are supported by both ancient philosophies and the latest developments in neuroscience Not only is imagination essential to our knowing reality to the full but to our very humanity itself.

We understand the doctrine of karma, including its many misunderstandings and parallels to other ideologies. This exploration includes accessible ways to overcome and master the karmic forces in your life: ethics, spirit guides, mindfulness, soul-purification, past-lives work, and more. Can we break the bonds of fate and predestination? From ancient Gnostic praxis to novel insights on Hinduism, we face instant and non-instant karma to find liberation.

Beyond a fascinating biography of a chief scholar in Western Esoterica, Jeff Kripal, we deeply delve into the intersection of esoteric and erotic spirituality. This includes the sexual expressions of religion and their tragic suppression. From Hinduism to American Christianity, we uncover erotic undertones that liberate the artistic souls of humans. And study how intense sexuality is found in famous poets, extraterrestrial encounters, and (of course) Gnosticism. As a bonus, we are joined by Dr. Joanna Kujawit, who discusses Tantra, the relation between Sophia and Shakti, the sensual dimensions of Mary Magdalene, and much more.
