Opis

The Hindu Tantric Tradition known as Kashmir Shaivism bore within it the understanding that neither God nor Self are beings 'with' awareness. Instead, God like the Self, IS Awareness. This is not an awareness that is 'yours' or 'mine' - the private property of a self or selves, being or beings - or the product of a body or brain. Instead every body and being is a 'Shakti' - an individualised portion and expression of that singular, universal and Divine Awareness known as Shiva. The New Yoga of Awareness is not a scholarly commentary 'on' the Kashmiri Shaivist tradition, but the most comprehensive and original contribution TO that tradition since its synthesis by the great 10th century teacher - Sri Abhinavagupta. Through its innovative principles and practices, Acharya Peter Wilberg unites philosophy and theology, psychology and metaphysics in a way that makes this yoga not just 'a' new yoga but THE New Yoga - a new exposition of Tantric Wisdom evolved from and for Today's World.
