Sex, The Secret Gate to Eden - Alchemy, Tantra, and Kabbalah, by Glorian Publishing. This documentary contains no lewd or graphic imagery and is illustrated entirely by the worlds heritage of art, illuminating core mysteries of humankind: temptation. The serpent. The expulsion from Paradise. Archetypal stories that have moved millions of human beings: but who has understood their real meaning? Theories abound, but humanity remains suffering in the wilderness, removed from the state of bliss (which in Hebrew is "Eden"). Drawing upon the greatest teachers of humanity, like Jesus, Buddha, Moses, and others, and investigating what they actually taught, we can see the emergence of the genuine root of all of their teachings: that creation, the most sacred act in the universe, is always sexual. All life emerges from sex, even spiritual life. But unfortunately, we have corrupted sex; that is why humanity was expelled from Eden. By learning the ancient science of sacred sexuality, anyone can return to the natural state of existence: harmony with nature and God.

The Roots of Tantra

The Roots of Tantra, by Katherine Anne Harper and Robert L. Brown. Among the many spiritual traditions born and developed in India, Tantra has been the most difficult to define. Almost everything about it-its major characteristics, its sources, its relationships to other religions, even its practices-are debated among scholars. In addition, Tantrism is not confined to any particular religion, but is a set of beliefs and practices that appears in a variety of religions, including Hinduism and Buddhism. This book explores one of the most controversial aspects of Tantra, its sources or roots, specifically in regard to Hinduism. The essays focus on the history and development of Tantra, the art history and archaeology of Tantra, the Vedas and Tantra, and texts and Tantra. Using various disciplinary and methodological approaches, from history to art history and religious studies to textual studies, scholars provide both broad overviews of the beginnings of Tantra and detailed analyses of specific texts, authors, art works, and rituals.
