Chapter One

An Introduction

The Golden Triangle recovers some of the keys to the powers described in the ancient writings by the discovery and translation of a very ancient Sanskrit document called the Paratrimshika or the Thirty Transcending Statements. These thirty short concise maxims, which date back long before the Christian era, do in fact open unknown doors that can lead you into the ecstasy and powers of life promised by so many of the world's mystical and religious writings.

The first invaluable contribution of the Paratrimshika is the presentation of some basic and very surprising definitions of terms used in many of the old writings. Without these proper definitions, it is easy to see how so much confusion about and misuse of the old religious and philosophical writings and teachings prevail today. For instance, consider your present definitions and feelings about the basic religious words: "heaven", "heart" and "spirit". You no doubt find these terms vague and abstract with little relationship to your daily life. As will be shortly demonstrated, the Paratrimshika defines these terms as relating to definite places and forces that exist within or emanate out of the lower abdominal region of your body, controlled by an almost unknown yet physically manifest organ which requires specific exercises for its full development.

As a brief introduction, "Heaven" as used in the old texts is not a place of your afterlife. Your "heart" is in fact the center of your existence, but is not in the head or chest. "Spirit" refers to an indwelling and controllable power that lies behind the supernormal and largely unexplained feats accomplished by individuals. The amazing Paratrimshika provides the long lost definitions of many of these mystical terms used around the world and provides the clues for finding a deeper understanding of many of the early writings and claims of Alchemy, the martial arts, Yoga, the Tao, Christianity as well as other mystical writings. With accurate definitions, the difference between the religious, mystical, and scientific fields also diminishes. It will also be shown that science is really built upon the ancient mystical four elements with a viewpoint of energy that is compatible with the forefront of modern physics today. Modern physiology and psychology have "thrown the baby out with the bath water" in by-passing subjective feelings. Instead of finding feelings subjective, the ancient Masters found many of them to be definitely objective physiological changes as will be discussed.

Another contribution of the Paratrimshika to the modern age is to point to the universality of the ancient writings. As an example, the meaning of the "One becoming Two" (A Creator starting with the creation of two items) is found in nearly the same wording in the Paratrimshika of Northern India, the Te Tao Ching of China, and in The Emerald Table of ancient Egypt. The "Two" is also generally described as the "Sun and Moon" or as an equivalent the "Masculine and Feminine". The "Two" also has two locations, either in the Heavens above or within you. It is the indwelling "Sun and Moon" that provide the powers to transform your world.

Another important teaching to be gained from the Paratrimshika is that many of the important ancient mystical documents were written as technical discourses that intended to elucidate important concepts rather than to simply inspire or preach. As technical writings, they can be compared to modern papers written on physics, psychology, chemistry, or other technical subjects that require a prior knowledge of the technical terms and their usage. Another important requirement of technical papers is that there must be a step-by-step reading of the text. You cannot take isolated statements out of text or attempt to randomly read the text out of order by skipping unintelligible paragraphs.

Perhaps the most startling aspects of the Paratrimshika are its references to androgyny as a necessity for evolution or transcendence. The Paratrimshika describes the center of androgyny as being within the "yoni". This connection clarifies the classical writings of Yoga which describe the location and activity of a yoni although generally misunderstood as being the female pudenda. It is also apparent upon reflection that androgyny appears in many of the world's early religious writings. For instance, many writings speak of sexual changes before ascending to higher realms. The union with the Divine is often described as entering into a sexual tryst with the Divine with a sexual role reversal. Another interesting point is that the traditional Priests from many religions can be identified because of the feminine nature of their garb. The source of this custom is no doubt long forgotten.

The Paratrimshika identifies the source of androgyny as resulting from the union of your inner Sun and Moon. This Sun and Moon in their union create your personal Heaven or perfected world. The inner Sun, Moon, and inner Heaven constitute a Trinity that corresponds to another external Trinity of Sun, Moon, and Earth. The ancient esoteric or secret powers lay in the control of the inner Sun and Moon and this was done in part by stimulating their dwelling place in the yoni.

The thirty statements of the Paratrimshika when combined with the extant mystical teachings, modern science, and experimental verifications form the basis of The Golden Triangle. The original philosophies taught that there is an underlying spiritual formation that precedes the physical manifestation of everything that you experience. This means that there is a real aspect of entelechy or directed and defined will power that must be addressed if you truly desire to find change or evolution in your daily life. However, to change your world and Self, there likewise must be a change within the physical body and its chemistry in order to connect the physical with the subtle or spiritual realms. This change corresponds to the rapid changes taking place in pre-pubescent children that, as will be discussed, are associated with intense lower abdominal activity. Although this activity is suppressed by our society as children mature, some adults can remember the strong sexual-like feelings associated with this state of the body and the associated zest, fervor, and passion for life. Many of the monastic-type practices used around the world loosen the abdominal tensions and mental controls gained in growing to adulthood such that the creative energy of childhood can be reclaimed.
