New book on Kundalini Nov 16, 2009 Caduceus: A New Perspective on Historical Knowledge and the Spirituality of Man
I became interested Kundalini and have been reading on Kundalini awakening for some time. Whilst there are many books out there on Kundalini rising I have found Hamilton's Caduceus to be the most informative. Caduceus provides perspective for those who have had such an experience and for those who wish to know more about it. Unlike many new age spiritual texts which are often lacking in substance, Caduceus presents the Kundalini experience in a scholarly way backed by fact, best evidence and much research which has not previously been done. For instance Caduceus also presents the history of Kundalini in the context of the bibles of the world, the forerunners and initiators of our religions and spiritual movements and even philosophers of note who have had this very same Kundalini experience. What I found very enlightening was that Hamilton wrote such a book many years after his own experience of Kundalini.
Just when you think that the Caduceus has come to an end, Hamilton presents a volume of research that parallels the Kundalini experience with the near-death experience and includes a commentary of a discussion he had with Dr Raymond Moody (who coined the phrase near-death experience or NDE) on these many amazing similarities.
I would highly recommend Caduceus not only as a starting point on Kundalini, the mystic experience and its parallels with the near-death experience but as a permanent guide to be used in conjunction with the following books on Kundalini, mystic and near-death experiences.

Great original perspective Jun 11, 2009 A very enjoyable read, interesting and thought stimulating, raises some very good questions to get you thinking about spirituality and a very good description of the authors own personal journey and experience of kundalini. Does a good job of bringing together the scientific and metaphysical and I enjoyed the very personal way the author has of discussing the topic while sharing his own experiences.
