Selection from a new book: Himalayan Mysticism, by
Ralph Nataraj.
http://www.advaita-tantra.com/teksten/Himalayan%20Mysticism.htm
This book is a work in the yogic tradition, a tool on the path
of courage, the path of wisdom and
the path of love and an introduction into the mystery school of
the Goddess. Ralph embraces fully
the dazzling paradox and leads us to the full experience of
divine madness. After the initiations
in Tantra and Sri Vidya that he received, Ralph 'channeled'
several outstanding revelations in
tantric theology and mysticism.
The receptivity and awareness, with which you go through this
text, is the key to make you
recognise and celebrate your inherent greatness.
In this book many topics that carry a certain load for people are
addressed. Ralph is trying to
shake us up and get us to look from every perceivable angle to
these issues; to increase the
flexibility, not only of our mind, but also of our perceptions
and will.

News
On this glorious day I have great new for you. You are free! You
are children of Zion. Only one
'problem'; we suffer a sort of amnesia.
But the other good news is that Grace is working in and for you.
The inevitable is inescapable. Try
to understand: Your mind is linked or plugged into the matrix.
The matrix is all the mind-stuff and
thought-forms.
Are you beginning to understand?
I hope that I am not writing all this for nothing.
..........
So many people are still so much in the matrix ... It is really
not necessary.
So many liberated souls have already shared their energy with
you.
If you would only absorb it and take it in.
......................................................
Really take it in!
Swallow the whole thing!
There are two worlds. But you only live in one of them.
In order to step into the other world, the mind needs to be
unplugged. We can do it for you, but
only when you prepare and are ready. When you are holding on much
it becomes tough.
