An Esoteric Exposition of the Bardo Thodol (Vol. 5A of a Treatise on Mind) - Paperback

by Bodo Balsys (Author)

This book explores chapter 5 of the Bardo Thödol titled "The Spiritual Practice entitled Natural Liberation of Habitual Tendencies". This text incorporates a detailed exposition of the transformation of saṃskāras (consciousness attributes developed through past activity) into enlightenment attributes. This book provides a solid foundation to understanding the force centres (chakras) and the way their powers (siddhis) awaken. The ten stages of the evolution of consciousness are illustrated in correspondence with the doctrine of the Peaceful and Wrathful Deities and how they contribute to the Initiation process.
