InfiniteMind Posted July 26, 2015 Greetings to all, I've been studying and practicing esoteric gnosis and occult subjects for the last five years. Read a lot of publications on Buddhism, meditation & concentration practice ( studying Mouni Sadhou at the moment), on astral projection, theosophy, and on spirit invocation and evocation (with the latter i didnt mess much due to my still novice status - mostly King Solomons books,Aleister Crowley books) I practice also martial arts. With theory i'm ok, it's practice i need to delve into deeper. Apart from Mouni's books, and 'mainstream' meditation techniques and astral projection, what other books offer good material to strengthen the core faculties and 'instruments' to build a solid base to move forward ? (e.g concentration, will power, imagination etc) I am thirsty for exercise ! I had a glimpse of the astral, and came across with some dark entities in my first steps of experimenting, but i gave a promise to myself to return when i'm spiritually stronger. So what books you recommend for exercising ? Thanks alot ! *sorry for any mistakes, english is not my native language 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RiverSnake Posted July 26, 2015 Welcome to TTB. For Buddhist Meditation book recommendations Wisdom Wide and Deep may be a beneficial text. Also i'd recommend you find some energetic circulatory practices, meditation and energetics go quite well together (IME). For books on Imagination and the power of thought-forms i'd recommend Mindscape: Exploring the reality of Thought-forms. Hope this is helpful and best of luck in your path. Blessings. http://www.amazon.com/Wisdom-Wide-Deep-Practical-Mastering/dp/086171623X/ref=pd_bxgy_14_img_y http://www.amazon.com/Mindscape-Exploring-Reality-Thought-Forms/dp/0835606600/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1437913989&sr=1-1&keywords=Mindscape+exploring 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
