Seed Mantra Magick: Master the Primordial Sounds of the Universe
Summary
The seed mantras that are in this book are the core sounds. These sounds have embedded into them the universal creative energies. They are potential power and do not have attributes such as "good" and "evil". These sounds transcend those human labels. However, it does not mean they cannot be used for both "good" and "evil". As I stated in other books, the universal energies are like electricity. They will manifest in the way they are guided. For example, plug in your computer and your lamp, and you will see they are using the same electricity, but it is manifesting differently in each object based on its intended use. If you stick your tongue in an electric socket, you will quickly learn that electricity will light you up as well. It's the same when you use these mantras. Mantras do not have morality issues; they are not biased; they are simply energies waiting to be guided, and guide them we shall.

Surya Mantra Magick
Summary
From the many planets that abound in space, only one, besides our own, can be said to be the most important, and that is the Sun. It provides for every life that exists on this great earth. Without it, nothing would grow; nothing would live. It is for this reason the sun has been worshiped since the dawn of time. The ancients intuitively knew the Sun was the power behind life and the universe. Countless sun cults sprang up throughout spiritual texts. Most of these Sun-centric spiritual traditions are now just memories that fill dusty old books. There is only one world religion that still makes the God of the Sun the center of its universe, and that is Hinduism. We find in its sacred texts the god Surya, a good of unsurpassed power and glory. To many Hindus, he is the creator of the universe and the source of all that lives. He appears first in the Rigveda, the oldest spiritual text of Hinduism. In it, he is the defeater of darkness. So popular is he that for millions around the world, he is the first to be honored in the morning, either through ritual or through yoga. In this audiobook, we will discuss this wonderful being. I will take you through his 12 mantras. Each has its own power to change various aspects of your life, such as: Finding friendship and love Acquiring inner strength and fortitude Dispelling darkness in your life, no matter what the source For health and well-being For the attainment of goals For wisdom, be it occult or mundane Just to name a few... I will also discuss a novel way to get in tune with the Sun while you chant Surya's mantras. It involves geomagnetic rhythms. By adding this one element, you will enhance not only your work with Surya, but all other magical and mantra practices you may already be doing. I do hope you enjoy this audiobook. Blessings to you, Baal Kadmon PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Chakra Mantra Magick
Summary
It is said that when one balances his or her chakras, the rest of life falls into place. This is very true, but there is much more than chakra balancing to strive for. Chakras themselves can be a source of energy to create magick. Using chakras for magick makes perfect sense., since spiritual and physical energies travel via the chakras. You are, in essence, your chakras. Everything in the world, whether this world or the spiritual world, communicates with you via your chakras. Everything you have in this life, or don't have for that matter, is a result of your chakras. In this book, we will perform seven rituals, one for every chakra. We are not so much looking to balance or clear our chakras - what we will be doing is using the chakras as magickal vehicles to attain what we desire. Let us proceed.

The Sages of Naimishiranya
Summary
Srimad Bhagavatam is the most prominent of the Puranas, or histories of the Ancient World. The original Sanskrit text of the work, penned by the great sage Vyasadeva, says it is "as brilliant as the sun", because its teachings can illuminate our consciousness even in the darkest times. Much like the Arabian Nights, it has an intricate structure of stories within stories; epic tales of divine incarnations, saints, sages, gods and earthly kings that span vast periods of time. This volume introduces the foundational story; a conversation among many learned sages and yogis at the holy site of Naimisharanya. Srimad Bhagavatam describes how the earth goes through cyclical ages not unlike the four seasons in a year. Five thousand years ago, the world entered the most terrible of the four ages, otherwise known as Kali Yuga, or the "Age of Quarrel and Hypocrisy". This era is characterized by terrific acts of violence such as large scale animal slaughter, systematic destruction of the planet's food supplies, and the merciless affliction of civilian populations by warlords and governments alike. All of this leads to escalating miseries as the dreadful age unfolds. Aware of our impending plight through prophetic visions, the compassionate sages of Naimisharanya seek a way to help us. One of their number, Suta Goswami, goes in search of a solution and encounters a dialogue between an emperor cursed to die and a great mystic. From this discussion Suta discovers how anyone, no matter how drastic their circumstances, can transcend their misery and experience boundless joy by comprehending the science of God and the soul. He returns to the sages and faithfully repeats the secrets he has heard, and this becomes the Srimad Bhagavatam. Described as the "literary incarnation of God", Srimad Bhagavatam elevates its sincere readers to pure spiritual consciousness, beyond the reach of all misery. It describes the living being as an eternal part of the all attractive Supreme Person, Krishna. We are not meant to suffer and Srimad Bhagavatam assures us that our pain will end when we properly apply the spiritual science it expounds. It is the most conclusive self-help book ever written, offering the reader the means to rise above all of the personal, interpersonal, national, and international problems we face today. Krishna Dharma, is the author of popular retellings of the Indian epics Mahabharata and Ramayana. With the assistance of his wife Chintamani Dhama Dasi, he now brings to life the greatest of India's spiritual classics without compromising its essential spiritual message.

Shiva Mantra Magick
Summary
Shiva is one of the most mysterious gods of the Hindu pantheon. His energy can be found in all things, yet his tranquil and fierce energy can seem out of reach for some. His images often depict him in a meditative state or in his most common form, the Nataraja, or the one who dances within the circular fires that represent creation and dissolution. He is by far one of the most ancient of the Hindu gods, there are hints of him in the Vedas, and this form is often called "proto-Shiva". In his current incarnation he is part of the Hindu Trinity that is comprised of the gods Brahma and Vishnu. Shiva's name means "the auspicious one". Shiva is the god of creation, destruction, and regeneration. It is for this reason his mantras are so powerful; they are multipurpose and can serve the magician in any way he or she sees fit. Although most deities that I work with are female, Shiva is the only exception. He has been my patron for decades. I even have a tattoo of his image on my back. He is very close to me. Often Shiva is associated with unbridled sexuality, eccentricity, and nirvanic states. He has all these within himself. He is no doubt a figure that would be interpreted in the west as the embodiment of all that is evil, sinful, and dark. This reputation is not helped by the fact many of his followers are known to perform actions that are often shocking and even downright lewd. They do this not because they are degenerates, but because they are trying to prove a point. In many ways, Shiva is the god of the outcasts. Shiva will challenge you in ways other gods will not. He will force you to go deep into your nature. If you are not introspective, Shiva will and can be a nightmare for you. He will force you to break open. His mantras are often recited when people need help. All problems you may have, be they physical, mental or spiritual he can help you.

The Complete Works of Swami Vivekananda: Volume 3
Summary
This universe of ours, the universe of the senses, the rational, the intellectual, is bounded on both sides by the illimitable, the unknowable, the ever unknown. Herein is the search, herein are the inquiries, here are the facts; from this comes the light which is known to the world as religion. Essentially, however, religion belongs to the super-sensuous and not to the sense plane. It is beyond all reasoning, and is not on the plane of intellect. It is a vision, an inspiration, a plunge into the unknown and unknowable, making the unknowable more than known for it can never be “known”. This search has been in the human mind, as I believe, from the very beginning of humanity. There cannot have been human reasoning and intellect in any period of the world’s history without this struggle, this search beyond. In our little universe, this human mind, we see a thought arise. Whence it arises, we do not know; and when it disappears, where it goes, we know not either. The macrocosm and the microcosm are, as it were, in the same groove, passing through the same stages, vibrating in the same key. I shall try to bring before you the Hindu theory that religions do not come from without, but from within. It is my belief that religious thought is in man’s very constitution, so much so that it is impossible for him to give, up religion until he can give up his mind and body, until he can give up thought and life. As long as a man thinks, this struggle must go on, and so long man must have some form of religion. Thus, we see various forms of religion in the world. It is a bewildering study; but it is not, as many of us think, a vain speculation. Amidst this chaos, there is harmony, throughout these discordant sounds, there is a note of concord; and he who is prepared to listen to it will catch the tone. Swami Vivekananda

Harmony and the Bhagavad-gita: Lessons from a Life-Changing Move to the Wilderness
Summary
After a lifetime of metaphysical study and practice, a journalist joins a diverse community of joyful spiritual pioneers in a remote British Columbia valley.

The Gospel of Ramakrishna
Summary
He alone teaches who has something to give, for teaching is not talking, teaching is not imparting doctrines, it is communicating. The present upheaval of the spiritual tide, the waves of which, traversing nearly half the world, have touched the shores of America, was produced by the Christlike character and divine personality of Bhagavân Srî Râmakrishna - revered and worshiped in India today as an ideal manifestation of the divine glory.

Tibetan Mantra Magick: Tap Into the Power of Tibetan Mantras
Summary
When we think about Tibet, we are often taken back to the stories of the search for Shangri-La. We are beguiled by stories of men and women who spend their entire lives in meditation in hopes to achieve liberation from the ties that bind us here on this Earth. We are further in awe of those stories of the great mystics who, though Tibetan rituals, develop supernatural powers. All these stories have elements of truth in them. Rumors of this nature are often unconfirmed facts, as it were. Tibetan Buddhism is fascinating. It is by far the most mystical and most complex form of Buddhism throughout the spectrum of Buddhist sects. Most in popular culture associate it mostly with the Dalai Lama, the spiritual leader of Tibet. However, there is so much more to it, so much in fact that no single volume could ever capture the magic and the wonder of this great tradition. Like most Eastern traditions, Tibetan Buddhism has a rich tradition of mantra chanting and magick. Some of the rituals are so elaborate they can often intimidate the minds of those with entrenched Western sensibilities. A good way to pierce the mystery is to work with the mantras of this great tradition. In this book we will perform seven rituals using Tibetan mantras.

Tap into the Power of the Chant: Attaining Supernatural Abilities Using Mantras
Summary
If you have listened to my other books you know that I recommend the use of mantras as a vehicle for magick. They are very powerful and oftentimes easy to recite. In my other books that deal with mantras I provide a bonus chapter on something called Siddhi. I have been asked several times to go into greater depth about this and so I have decided to write this text. By attaining Siddhi, while using a mantra, you are literally embodying the power of that mantra. You will have the mantra's power. For example, if you are looking to attract material abundance, the seed mantra for that is "shreem". If you recite "shreem" 10,000 times, you will attain the essence of that Supernatural power. You will be able to recite "shreem" and attain your material goals easily. You will be a magnet, as it were. You will attain supernatural powers. In this book, we will discuss, in greater depth, what Siddhi is. After that, I will present a few powerful mantras and provide you the exact number of recitations you will need to attain Siddhi. Not all mantras have the same recitation count. I will also provide helpful tips on how to keep track of your recitations and most importantly, we will discuss the immense responsibility given you once you achieve Siddhi. Do not take this lightly, as once you achieve Siddhi for any given mantra, you will possess that power.
