Finally! Here is a book that shows explicit, clear, and non-sectarian methods for spiritual development and research in the most genuine sense. Here is a book for fully conscious and free modern people, living completely in daily life, which has nothing to do with following some Guru in the Himalayas, or subscribing to a new religious dogma. The Cognitive Yoga or spiritualization of thinking and perception that is carefully explained in the text will appeal to researchers of consciousness in every field and mode of pursuit, whether they are Wiccan, following the Golden Dawn tradition, orthodox Jews, atheists, electrical engineers following the path toward free energy, Buddhist, Catholic, Protestant, Muslim, and so on. The ancient eastern yogic practice transformed inhalation and exhalation of the breath into spiritual experience outside the body. This practice is no longer healthy for modern human beings. But the new cognitive and perceptual yoga, where one ‘exhales’ personal thinking into universal world-thought outside the body, and ‘inhales’ pure color and sensation to transform the body, offers a healthy and sane path of the development of consciousness for modern human beings everywhere, no matter what faith you follow. In fact every mental image and ideology that you have before you begin will be challenged and transformed by the cognitive yoga practice itself. In this way, it uncovers the pathway to a self-grounded experience which is no longer one-sided. This book was written for what is most human in every single person on the earth. It shows the individual how to develop, above all else, in a truly moral sense. How? By leading human consciousness to the field and source of all moral impulses.
The text is built on the ground of the strongest capacity of the human personality selfhood and individuality, but shows how to connect your free individual nature with your highest and most essential nature, living outside your old ideas of the physical body and outdated concepts of space and time. It is in line with the most progressive concepts at work in biology, physics, philosophy, and politics. Cognitive Yoga has been written to offer a reasonable and scientific alternative to the soon to be realized dream of the AI researchers: downloading a human life into a machine. This book offers the complete method for uploading our life and consciousness into a freely created spiritual body, which is not in far off Lala land, but which remains connected to the spiritual sphere of the earth, and to a fully aware and active physical life. This is not a path of escape, but a path to begin living responsibly and maturely. This book is for humans who want to be creative in transforming the spiritual form of the earth, and giving substance to its future nature. All of this is based on the 40 years of research, work, and experience of the author, as he has encountered and engaged in open partnership with the new spiritual Event that is happening in the spiritual world in our time. The source of the work is the same living source that inspired the anthroposophical developments of Rudolf Steiner, and Dr. Ben-Aharon has brought real spiritual research into the 21st century. He is not offering unexamined dreams, hopes, wishes, or visions, nor is he merely using abstract words and concepts which are empty at bottom. What you see in this book is carefully researched and reexamined information and substance gained from years of first-hand experience living in the spiritual world as a daily reality. It is not speculation or a mere summary of Steiner in a new form. The ancient yoga practice was offered as a gift to the Western world, now it is time for a fully modern yoga practice to return the gift to the world. It is a spiritual path guided by the true spirit of our time.
A case in point: have you ever seen a book which shows you how to spiritualize your sense of smell?
Have you ever read a book which shows you how to create the organs of spiritual speech from your experiences following the living creative impulses in a painting?
Have you ever read a book which shows you precisely how the highest Spiritual Self can lower itself into you to transform your lowest instincts into spiritual organs?
These things are in this text, and much more, including preparation for the work of the supersensible work of the Michael School in actively transforming evil in the supersensible heart of the Earth.
Are you ready to begin creating a new etheric body and a new spiritual individuality? This book is in a class by itself.
“In daily life, we live in our physical body and use our senses and our intellect. When we are meditating, we live in our etheric body. We must become completely free of the body in meditation. When we are meditating, we live in the heavenly body, in Christ. What do we do then when we meditate? We form something new, we create something new in the cosmos. We imprint a new etheric body upon the cosmos. When we bear this is mind, then we will gradually become aware of the great responsibility for what we do when we become a meditant.” Rudolf Steiner, notes from Esoteric Lessons, Vol. 3 (GA 266c), pp. 289-90.
