Kalee Bhava: The Goddess and Her Moods was born out of torment and love crashing together like lightning hitting the Earth to ignite life into existence. It is nothing but passion for the spiritual. This book was the work of Healing Sakti in my life. I began to heal what has seemed to be a never-ending torrent of wounds, everything from the wounds of Jesus, to the wounds of inability to attain Advaita (non-dual transcendence) permanently. The distorted imprint of this world leaves us with many delusions, scars, and schisms: sexual, psychological, and religious. My healing began as I began to embrace the Image of Kali as my Ishta Sakti, the Chosen Ideal of Spiritual Power. Because of Atma: Essays on Self and Empathy was the work of Vedanta Sakti coming back to me. It is my inquiry into the Pure Atma; true self as What is Behind and yet Within the Curtain of Enchantment. But I must confess my own non-originality. If Ashtavakra describes the Atma as 'glory' and thousands of years later Swami Abhedananda describes Atma as 'glory' and then perhaps a decade or two after that someone else uses the very same word, well, who is then original? No one person is the holder of Truth; it is Truth that is the Holder of every individual. The Lamp of the Turiya was translated into Dutch and republished in the journal Vedanta. Spiritual Solutions to Psychological Equations was republished in The New Times. Bursting the Sharp Midpoint of the World Mind Cultus was republished in Prabuddha Bharata and The New Times. The Skills of Kalee came later as a process of autonomous self-arrival. As it is with almost all writing and poetic efforts, some of it is a scholarly construct and some is spontaneous creativity. As it is, I think the feeling within each sentence speaks for itself. This manuscript was the work of Loving Sakti in my life. The text is an exercise in the practice and application of learning to love and to use my own mind as an instrument for loving the Goddess. Measuring Sky Without Ground: Essays on the Goddess Kali, Sri Ramakrishna and Human Potential came out of thinking upon Turiya Sakti, that is Mother's Advaita returned from the waking, dreaming, and deep sleep states back into the fourth state (turiya), at least, in a cerebral perspective, but expressed with powerful feeling. For me it was like the dawn of spiritual life inside my heart. The title essay, Measuring Sky Without Ground: A Pragmatic Psychology of Non-Duality was republished in The New Times. Kalee: The Allayer of Sorrows is a return address to some important historical and spiritual subjects that for me are a salute to Tantra Sakti and how She has expressed Herself in my life. From this text, The Radical View of Kali: A Study in Religious Distortion was republished in the journal Matriarch's Way. The Guru Problem: Spiritual Trauma and Abuse in the Causal Dynamic of the Guru Dilemma was republished in The New Times. The Goddess and the God Man: An Explorative Study of the Intimate Relationship of the Goddess Kali with Sri Ramakrishna of Dakshineswar was my greatest pleasure and joyful labor, being in itself a work on pure Kali Sakti. It is a probing search, and an unworthy attempt to fathom the depth of his spiritual experience, written at the borderline where the absolute transcendent Goddess expressed Herself in the person of Sri Ramakrishna of Dakshineswar (1836-1886). Living Sakti: Attempting Quick Knowing in Perpetual Perception and Continuous Becoming, I prayed, was to be my culmination, after thirty years of writing, perhaps that I now might live in Peace. To enjoy what has been discovered in Sakti and to live what Sakti has uncovered. But Mother would not let me rest and just live in Her Sakti. She once again forced me to continue writing and so the eighth text was born from my mind womb wherein She could not resist impregnating me with more thoughts on Her.
