{"quotes":[{"text":"In Demons of the Flesh, Zeena describes how Shiva and Shakti are actually ‘two sides of the same deity’. 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":"Zeena Schreck believes that the right-hand path and the left-hand path have traditionally had the same end goal; it is only the method that is different and the fact that adepts on the left-hand path seek liberation in this life.--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":79168,"author_id":"Zeena+Schreck"},{"text":"Nothing could be easier than disturbing a status quo instituted by others; the real work of the sinistercurrent is to break the rules we rigidly establish for ourselves.”-Zeena Schreck for 'Contemporary notions of Kundalini, its background and role within new Western religiosity,' University of Stockholm, Malin Fitger 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":137886,"author_id":"Zeena+Schreck"},{"text":"Zeena Schreck believes that the right-hand path and the left-hand path have traditionally had the same end goal; it is only the method that is different and the fact that adepts on the lefthandpath seek liberation in this life.--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":185965,"author_id":"Zeena+Schreck"},{"text":"Zeena believes that the breaking of taboos creates access to blocked energy that is let loose in a forceful way. The left-hand path is about consciously breaking with a ‘sleepwalker orthodoxy’ to be able to act as a fully awaken and conscious individual. In her book, George Orwell (1984) is quoted: “Orthodoxy means not thinking – not needing to think. Orthodoxy is unconsciousness.” At the same time she notes that the left-hand path is the ‘way of action’. It is not about intellectual contemplation, or worse, just reading about action.'About Zeena Schreck by Malin Fitger from: Contemporary notions of Kundalini, its backgroundand 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":204021,"author_id":"Zeena+Schreck"},{"text":"Shapeshifting requires the ability to transcend your attachments, in particular your ego attachments to identity and who you are.
