One of the more interesting books I've read is Dion Fortune's:
The Esoteric Philosophy of Love & Marriage,
which goes into a good bit of detail on the structure and function of
the higher planes, and their interrelations. I understand that the
original edition, published in the United Kingdom, is now out of
print. I'm looking to purchase a copy of ANY edition of this, as I had
to borrow the copy I read.
Another interesting book I read recently is Ceanne DeRohan's:
The Right Use of Will: Healing and Evolving the Emotional Body
available for $7 from the
Brotherhood of Life
110 Dartmouth, SE
Albuquerque, New Mexico 87106
which explains a lot about the current state of the world, and how it
evolved from Pan(gea) through Lemuria and Atlantis, and the future
direction of spirit on Earth.

Since a number of you have asked for further information about chakras
and Tantra, I'd like to recommend the book "Tantra for the West"... my
copy is loaned out, and I don't remember further details, but will post
when I have them. The chakras are the interface between the eternal
spirit and the physical body, and correspond closely with the endocrine
system. The union I speak of is of the spiritual bodies and the energy
bodies. Just snuggling brings two people close enough together for
their auras (their energy bodies) to merge and melt into one. Further
union on the energy plane is via channeling spiritual energy through
the chakras, between the partners. This increases as orgasm is
approached, and subsides once it is achieved. Prolonged union is aided
by avoiding orgasm, and each time orgasm is approached but avoided, the
level of energy flow and spiritual union is enhanced. The subject
we're discussing is the application to sexual union of Tantra Yoga and
Kundalini Yoga.

The subject Isn't this the kind of stuff that (germany guy who lived in Maine) was studying when he built the orgasmitron? Unfortunately he chose the wrong time to study it (the 50's) and most of his work was burnt and he was thrown in jail. The only references I've ever seen to him (other than the sign outside a museum they built in Maine) were in "The Harod Experiment" (not bad, but too much emphasis on sex - roommates were expected to make out) and in "Schrodinger's Cat" (there's a scene where one character sees this man struggling with people who are burning his books). I believe he claimed that lovemaking actually produced physical energy that could be measured.

Does anyone know any more? You're talking about Wilhelm Reich, who had some rather unusual theories about stuff called orgone that we all need, that comes from lovemaking and from outer space. He had a box that supposedly concentrated orgone inside, which people could sit in and absorb the stuff. There's been some discussion on love-hounds (ARPA Kate Bush mailing list), because Kate Bush's song "Cloudbusting" is directly about him, seen through his son Peter. His theories are generally regarded as being completely off the deep end; he was mostly likely a schizophrenic who gained a bit more repute than most since he chose to publish books about his beliefs rather than shout them on street corners. But then, I consider chakras and auras at least as zany, so perhaps I should stop talking about this stuff right away. -- --Peter Alfke "Man, Woman, Child: alfke@csvax.caltech.edu All Is Up Against the Wall of SCIENCE" --Firesign Theatre

The orgasmitron is from a Woody Allen movie but he did theorize about something called the "Orgone" and I think he made some sort of closet like chamber called an "Orgone box". I believe he did spend some time in jail or possibly an insane asylum. I don't actually know what the "orgone" was supposed to be other than one of those "energies" people talk about when they don't really know exactly what they're talking about. I guess this is about all I can dredge up from my junkyard of rusty memories (blech!) -Steve "Bring me a bucket" Dunn
