The goal of the initiate on the left-hand path is to become ‘this bisexual twin godhead’ and activate a state of perceptual sexual ecstasy within one's own consciousness. Zeena points out that a corresponding symbolism is found in the western hermeticism in the idea of ‘the inner androgyne.’--About Zeena Schreck by Malin Fitger 'Contemporary notions of Kundalini, its background and role within new Western religiosity,' University of Stockholm, 2004.","author":"Zeena Schreck","tags":["action","buddhism","dissident","initiation","jivanmukti","left-hand-path","liberation","magic","magick","magick-and-faith","materialism-versus-spiritualism","outcasts","revolutionary","self-examination","shamanism","sorcery","spiritual-journey","spiritual-transformation","spirituality","subversion","taboo-breaking","taboos","taking-action","tantra","tantric-buddhism","theology","vamamarga","women-warriors","zeena-schreck"],"id":11967,"author_id":"Zeena+Schreck"},{"text":"Engaging spirits isn’t an elitist ability or industry, it’s being active in the connection with All Things.

And whoever is with them is a black magician on the spot. Think for a moment, can you deviate from the path that your fellow men have lined up for you? And if you remain with them, your thoughts and your actions are fixed forever in their terms. That is slavery. The warrior, on the other hand, is free from all that. Freedom is expensive, but the price is not impossible to pay. So, fear your captors, your masters. Don't waste your time and your power fearing freedom.","author":"Carlos Castenada","tags":["existentialism","inspiration","meaning-in-life","shamanism","tales-of-power"],"id":19624,"author_id":"Carlos+Castenada"},{"text":"The only path that has any meaning is one that resolves your being in the feeling that your heart is empowered by doing what is necessary for your existence.","author":"Lujan Matus","tags":["heart","heart-path","meaning-of-life","shamanism"],"id":24795,"author_id":"Lujan+Matus"},{"text":"Healing stories are magickal tales born from personal tribulation and victory, which are then shared.","author":"S.

Who you are matters, how you are matters. Things like race and culture are a manifestation of flows of creation. Your identity doesn't just matter, without it your soul can't interact with the world. The key is we need to understand that all races, ethnic groups, cultures and like treasures are equal and we must remember to follow our soul rather than our identity. The identity is something the soul works through, not the other way around.","author":"Rebekah Elizabeth Gamble","tags":["alchemy","culture","inspirational","metaphysics","race","shamanism"],"id":39326,"author_id":"Rebekah+Elizabeth+Gamble"},{"text":"If we didn't have shadow we'd just sit around loving the light, likely doing nothing with it.","author":"S.
