Exploring the Mysteries of the Ancient Religion of the Sun In the cycles of the sun and stars, in the movements of the earth and the cosmos, the message of a journey to enlightenment is written. Many thousands of years ago, ancient seers understood this--revering the sun as the highest symbol of divine consciousness, and its light the spiritual source of creation. Its major stages at the solstices and equinoxes became the dominant alignment of sacred sites all over the world, as well as central events in the lives of many spiritual figures. Today, these ancient remains can still be decoded to reveal their message of spiritual enlightenment. The roots of this knowledge trace to a distant time before a global cataclysm destroyed a prior civilization. After this disaster, mysterious wisdom-bringers are recorded as traveling the world on a divine mission to establish this cosmic knowledge anew and initiate the spiritual beginnings of our current human age. They oversaw the building of some of the most enigmatic sacred sites on the planet, and gave rise to a civilization of the religion of the sun that extended across much of the earth. However, over time, strife and persecution took its toll, and after a while it was lost--left in scattered fragments that echo a bygone era of great spiritual knowledge. The Path of the Spiritual Sun aims to restore this lost knowledge--exploring the sites, symbols, and sacred texts connected to the ancient spirituality of the sun--and provide celebrations and ceremonies to re-enliven its transformative practice once more. About the author Belsebuub is the author of a number of books on spirituality, out-of-body experiences, dreams, self-discovery, and esoteric knowledge. He has appeared on radio and television programs internationally, and writes from decades of spiritual and mystical experience, while his wife Lara Atwood contributes with the research into history, cosmology, ancient sites, and sacred texts.

The sun was the most celebrated religious symbol of the ancient world and hundreds of the most enigmatic sites were aligned to it at the solstices and equinoxes. This book answers why the sun was so spiritually important to ancient people and describes how to practice this same ancient religion of the sun today.

A fascinating read. -Associated Press Joshua Greene, who studied meditation with the legendary Beatle George Harrison, draws on personal remembrances, recorded conversations, and firsthand accounts to create a moving portrait of Harrison's spiritual life, his profound contribution to the Beatles' music, and previously unpublished anecdotes about his time with music legends Bob Dylan, Elvis Presley, and others. ""Many well-known artists have touched people's hearts with their music, but few have ever succeeded in touching people's souls.

A powerful story of one man's redemption through the Lakota Sun Dance ceremony. • Written by the only white man to be confirmed as a Sundance Chief by traditional Lakota elders. • Includes forewords by prominent Lakota spiritual leaders Leonard Crow Dog, Charles Chipps, Mary Thunder, and Jamie Sams. The Sun Dance is the largest and most important ceremony in the Lakota spiritual tradition, the one that ensures the life of the people for another year. In 1988 Michael Hull was extended an invitation to join in a Sun Dance by Lakota elder Leonard Crow Dog-- a controversial action because Hull is white. This was the beginning of a spiritual journey that increasingly interwove the life of the author with the people, process, and elements of Lakota spirituality. On this journey on the Red Road, Michael Hull confronted firsthand the transformational power of Lakota spiritual practice and the deep ambivalence many Indians had about opening their ceremonies to a white man. Sun Dancing presents a profound look at the elements of traditional Lakota ceremonial practice and the ways in which ceremony is regarded as life-giving by the Lakota. Through his commitment to following the Red Road, Michael Hull gradually won acceptance in a community that has rejected other attempts by white America to absorb its spiritual practices, leading to the extraordinary step of his confirmation as a Sun Dance Chief by Leonard Crow Dog and other Lakota spiritual leaders.

The Teachings in this book are a modernized restoration of the ancient "Mysteries of the Light." The book is a standalone do-it-yourself training manual for elevating and expanding consciousness and experiencing a spiritual transformation by sun gazing. Spiritual transformation is the process by which a human being becomes a spiritual being. Someone solely identified with their body and personality/ego becomes identified with their Soul, or Higher Self. Sun gazing is not a religion. It's a spiritual practice like meditation, prayer, fasting, and various types of yoga that can be applied by anyone no matter their religious belief, philosophy, or worldview. Sun gazing is perfect for the undeclared aspiring mystic. Spiritual refers to matters pertaining to the spirit and does not imply any necessary religious connotations. By sun gazing in the proper manner with the correct attitude, one can harmonize with Divine Light and Love emanating from the Sun. This process will purify your spirit, allowing the Light of your Soul to shine forth. Then you radiate Divine Light and Love to all of Creation. You become a "Sun of God." After basic sun gazing suggestions and proper attitude are discussed, several sun gazing techniques are presented in clear, well explained detail, followed by some dietary recommendations and commentary about the sun gazing experience. The rest of the book goes into great detail about the actual process of spiritual transformation, starting with a few words about the origin of the Universe and the Soul and the forces involved in transformation -- Prana and Kundalini. The Soul, spirit, and the various bodies/vehicles of the Soul and their force centers/chakras are defined and described. Next, subtle psychology and spiritual transformation are thoroughly explored, followed by a description of the elevated and expanded states of consciousness that can be realized by sun gazing. Finally, the concepts of the "awakening of the Soul," spiritual evolution, and karma are explained in relation to sun gazing. This book supersedes the small introductory manual "Sun Gazing for Spiritual Transformation" by the author.
