 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
By PatrickP
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.
Caduceus - New Book on Kundalini Oct 04, 2010
By Robert Hamilton
Watch Video Here: http://www.amazon.com/review/R1P1VLZXERU0PN Caduceus is a thoroughly researched book based on fact and best evidence. It is a unique text which presents the case that the one initial and common element in our religions and spiritual movements is Kundalini, otherwise known as the `mystic experience' (William James) and Illumination (Dr Richard Maurice Bucke).
The author cites this very specific Kundalini or mystic experience as being at the emergence of our religions, at the very foundations of our spiritual thought and therefore the codes by which we live today. It has pervaded our lives and our existence yet we know little of this experience and of the global unifying potential it affords.
Caduceus discusses the forerunners and initiators of our religions and spiritual movements who have had this very experience as well as philosophers of note such as Plato, Nietzsche and Jung who have experienced the very same. This highly informative book presents further evidence of the Kundalini experience from the `bibles' of the world which transcends many cultures of great antiquity.
Furthermore Caduceus elaborates on the astonishing parallels that the Kundalini experience possesses with the Near-death experience. A commentary of the discussion between the author and Dr Raymond Moody (Life After Life) agreeing on the profound similarities is included as well reference to works by Dr Ian Stevenson on reincarnation and Dr Brian Weiss (Many Lives Many Masters).
Caduceus is published by Apollo Publications Ltd. and written by Robert Hamilton who spent some 15 years of travel and research before writing this unique revelational work. Apollo Publications feels that Caduceus fills a gap in the marketplace and whilst there are authors who have written on specific and related topics discussed within Caduceus, we feel that there is no one book `out there' which has brought all the elements together as Caduceus has achieved

Caduceus Delivers!! May 12, 2010

Buy this book today!!
Before reading this book, I was growing more and more negative and cynical towards the ancient myths of popular religions and the people that loved them. I began to look at these stories as over-rated worshipped fiction for the blind masses. I was tired of the superstitious emphasis on worshipping mythological characters and blind faith that seems to be the foundation of most religions today. That was until I read Caduceus.
This book gave scientific validity to the common spiritual happenings that span across cultures. It showed that there is more to the ancient stories than what is usually displayed by the religious leaders and priests. It is thourough in showing the short comings of having a blind faith in popular science and religion and reveals that people that have deeply spiritual experiences are not always of the superstitious type. The evidence in this book points towards the fact that there are certain universal spiritual forces that don't need the power of belief to exist. The primary focus of this book is on the kundalini force and the change it brings to the people that come in contact with it. This book helped me to regain my "faith" in a higher power. Although to call this new found realization and knowing "faith" is doing it much injustice. This book makes religion fun to revisit for you eyes will be made anew!!

the mystery of Light Feb 07, 2010
By Daniel J. Neiman
This book is really split up into two parts. The first part details a fascinating new theory on the explosion of civilizations after the last ice age, with their resulting pyramid structures and advances in knowledge. The latter part deals with the experience some people have of connecting with a higher form of consciousness that is pervaded by light. In this state of rapture, knowledge seems to come together, like one has access for a brief moment to the knowledge of the entire universe. This experience, described as a "Kundalini" experience, often results from study of profound matters, comtemplation, and meditation according to Hamilton. Also, it occurs very suddenly and the person is completely taken by surprise. Hamilton does a great job of tracing this phenomenon back to the founders of religions and famous writers and philosophers worldwide. For anyone interested in the mysteries of ancient civilizations, consciousness, or religion, this book is for you!
