Where there is ecstasy, there is Creation;

Where there is no ecstasy, there is no Creation.

In the Infinite, there is ecstasy;

There is no ecstasy in the finite.

Chandogya

Upanishad

IN ECSTASY THROUGH TANTRA, Dr. Jonn Mumford

celebrates the joyous and mystical depths of sexual love.

Over the past decade, we have become more free and

healthy in our attitudes toward sex. Books such as The Joy

of Sex and More Joy attest to this. Now that understanding

has been broadened, however, it is possible, indeed necessary,

to go beyond joy; to go beyond the physical and emotional

aspects of sexual union to the ecstasy of union with Divine

Power that is centered in every body and throughout the

universe.

In Dr. Mumford's view, "The sexual dynamic represents

the most significant physical experience that we have at

our disposal, and it lies within our power to turn this function

into a spiritually regenerative act and a psychologically

integrative practice."

The value of his approach is that he makes the spiritual

potential of the sexual dynamic accessible to more than

the mystic, yogi and occultist. One need not go up to the

mountaintop to commune with Divinity: Its temple is the

body, Its sacrament the communion between lovers, and

that communion involves all the awesome powers of the

universe in the microcosm of the lovers.

The once hidden, and forbidden, secret practices of

magick are now explicitly revealed. This book traces the

ancient practices of Hindu Tantra through the Egyptian,

Greek and Hebrew forms where the sexual act is viewed as

symbolic of the highest union, oneness with God, to the

highest expression of Western sex magick in the Mass of

the Holy Ghost.

A psychotherapist trained in Yoga, Dr. Mumford (whose

initiated name is Swami Anandakapila) guides the reader

through mental and physical exercises aimed at developing

psycho-sexual power; he details the various sexual practices

and positions that facilitate "psychic short-circuiting" and

the arousal of Kundalini, the "Goddess of Life," within the

body; and in a chapter subtitled "The Semantics of the

Inner Life," he shows how language may be used to break

down comfortable categories of reality, inducing a creative

autism that unlocks esoteric knowledge and frees the mind

to experience enlightenment.

A great advantage of his approach is that he brings the

perspective of the East to bear on the newly quickened

interest in Western occultism. He shows, for example, the

fundamental unity of Tantra with Western Wicca as a

magickal religion and way of life-affirmation. And he plumbs

the depths of Western sex magick, showing how its techniques

culminate in spiritual illumination. While in the Western

tradition, sex magick may be employed without an emotional

commitment between the partners, in the Tantric use of

sex, which is grounded on mutual worship and aimed at

altering consciousness, the fire of love is utilized to carry

the participants through sexual union to union with the

Gods.

Previously published under the title, Sexual Occultism,

this new edition has been revised and expanded with new

materials, including:

• Original photographs of erotic sculptures from

Khajuraho in central India to illustrate the Indian

concepts of erotic beauty.

• Color photographs of couples engaged in the Asanas

of Love to illustrate those sexual positions for the

arousal of Kundalini in Tantric practice.

• The Rite of Naked Fire for use by individuals, couples

or groups as a consciousness altering preliminary to

individual work or Tantric practice by couples.

Ecstasy Through Tantra is a rare work of beauty, high

spirituality, and total practicality - restoring Magick to its

sacred place on the altar of sexual union.
