Foreword

The writing of this book is supported by the discovery and the translation of an ancient Sanskrit document called the Paratrimshika. The author found the Paratrimshika in an eleventh century Indian document called the Paratrishika written by the Indian sage and mystic, Abhinavagupta. The Paratrishika Vivarana was an extension and commentary on the much older Paratrimshika which probably was based on oral traditions going back to or preceding the Indian Vedas, Agamas and Tantras, the world's oldest religious writings.

The formidable Paratrishika Vivarana was written to expound upon the Paratrimshika that is contained within it. However, as you read the Paratrishika Vivarana more closely, you discover that it is really a tutorial upon the concepts required to understand the inner text. Over twenty percent of this interesting mystical book is spent in telling the reader how to dissect and manipulate the Sanskrit terms to properly translate the much older inner document. The genius of Abhinavagupta can be understood as he uses a surface translation of the Paratrimshika to explain the complex system of the Tantrik model of the mystical body and mind. The meaning of the inner document is still hidden, however, even with the assistance from Abhinavagupta. This is because the inner document speaks of processes that will be interpreted wrongly if they have not been experienced. Without that experience, you can only rely upon the commentary that is very complex and difficult to follow with a science foreign to the modern world. Modern references to this writing claim it to be one of India's most challenging books to read. The Paratrimshika can best be described as a very scientific or technical writing and like any other technical writing it is meaningful only to those who have been initiated into the specialized nomenclatures and teachings.

The Paratrimshika, in summary, was written for that one person in a thousand spoken of as one of the "select" in religious writings. If the reader has not experienced the higher realms or sensations that were written about, the document becomes a meaningless and obtuse manuscript. However, if you are curious, open and willing to explore, then you will be fascinated with this strange document and feel that something great is contained within it. The obscurity of the writing can also be explained in that it was written for the kaliyuga age or the "age of darkness" to preserve the ancient wisdom for the dawning of a better time.

This book is intended to be primarily a modern extension of the contents of the Paratrishika Vivarana, with support from other ancient writings, as well as a source of modern scientific wisdom. The Golden Triangle reveals much of the philosophy and practices as well as other material assumed to have been taught by the ancient sages. The Golden Triangle is written in the same technical style as the earlier writings and hence is not academic with each statement limited or supported by the normal outside authoritative references. Rather, it is written to be self-supportive in that the preceding statements as well as personal experiential verification supports each new statement. If this is not found to be true, then this book may not be for you or you need to restudy the prior discussions. Statements cannot be taken out of context nor read out of order. Further, the reading of the whole document is necessary for understanding since all of the statements are inter-connected. References to authoritative books are given in the Appendix if you care to investigate further.

The Paratrimshika discusses a super power that resides within the hridaya, heart or "center-of-self'' located between the thighs. This power is associated with strong feminine and androgynous characteristics that is maintained by the generation and flow of an inner creative fluid called soma (the mystical elixir of the Vedas). Because it is the source of powers, knowledge, and ecstasy of living, this center provides a connection directly to Heaven. The opening of this heart is reached through what is called matrena or the union of the "Sun" and "Moon". Upon opening the heart, one finds the mystical gifts and powers described by the world's major religions as well as the very physical forces utilized by the original martial arts. The Sun, Moon and created Heaven which constitute the basis of The Golden Triangle is found to have been at one time universal and expressed in many ways throughout the world.

The Golden Triangle was written for you if you are an active, creative person who has found inexplicable changes in your mind and body that include six or more of the following:

a) inexplicable pleasurable sexual-like or upward rushes of feelings,
b) sensations of an increased opening or sensitivity of the perineum,
c) feelings of being androgynous or having opposite sex characteristics,
d) perceiving the nature of the world as different from what you were taught,
e) increased faith in your own goals in life or a sense that your dedications are coming to fruition,
f) pressures in the head and chest initiated with slight or subtle emotions,
g) strengthened drive to understand the self and life,
h) increased awareness of inner ringing of the ear (tinnitus) or in the head,
i) some ability to intentionally change your world and how you feel,
j) moments of transcendence in levels of awareness or consciousness,
k) increased sense of softness, tenderness toward others or more people,
l) increased desire to have more intimacy (non-sexual) with others,
m) feelings of not belonging and being separated from others.

The contents of this book are also the result of an extensive verification of the esoteric models and practices by several large groups of volunteer middle class Americans (without any exchange of money). These people were willing to attempt to undergo and evaluate each exercise or practice to determine its fitness and value in today's world. After 20 years of research and practices, it was concluded that participants would find changes in the physiology of the body and increases in mental capabilities that agree in general with those mentioned in ancient writings. It also became evident that another mode of presentation of these practices was required for the modern age and that the participants' efforts also helped to produce those modes of presentation.

The author wishes to honor the traditions of India that maintained, preserved and revered the ancient documents without burning, destroying, or excessively modifying them as was commonly done in Western history. The author also pays homage to the early sages and teachers who wrote in such a remarkable manner that their Truths could be discerned in the modern world. Also, this book could not have materialized without the continual dedication of those supportive people seeking to explore the relevancy of the ancient writings to today's world. The author also honors the couples who meticulously worked and experimented with the "yoni" couplings of "maithuna" and reported their findings. The author offers his thanks to these generous people and to their faith that the ancient truths could be enlivened in the midst of the market place of our materialistic society.

WARNING

The disciplines in this book work with the interaction of the body and mind. The body can be stimulated, for instance, to increase sensory perception, strength, sensitivity, and the power to give reality to the constructs of the mind. If the body is stimulated without the necessary mental controls, the mind can become deeply depressed, fearful, or aggressive. Similarly, if the mind is developed without the necessary physical development, the body can become more stimulated than it can withstand, resulting in severe damage and possible death. As an example, imagine placing your present mind in the body of a child, or the mind of a child within your body.

You should be careful in seeking personal assistance. Masters of the spiritual path do not profit from their services and the reader should avoid seeking assistance from anyone who requires a fee or donation for guidance. Since the results of the included practices are systemic, any Master should be able to explain all of your symptoms or problems based only on a few interrogative questions or observations. No Master needs to revert to any further analysis. Do not entrust yourself to the guidance of anyone who has not directly experienced your level of development as well as the higher levels.
