Glenn Morris examines the fabulous Togakure Ryu in ninth century Japan and moves to present day applications of the ancient skills the stealthy ninja must apply to living in the modern world. Mr. Morris' fans will not be disappointed with the riches offered here: secrets of balance and alignment; seeing with the minds and eyes of gods and spirits; energy applications of qi for healing, warfare and sexual fulfillment; the care and feeding of Bujin, protective spirits; and cross-cultural comparisons of shamans, saints and masters of Budo and Bugei.

Using a lively style and the languages of transpersonal psychology, meditation, esoteric magic, and kundalini, Glenn Morris recounts his amazing adventures and hair-raising close calls while training and then practicing as a master of martial arts. Following in the tradition of the legendary Togakure Ryu of Japan, whose fighting techniques and lore inspired the fascination of westerners with Ninja warriors, he offers guidelines on how to tell sham from authenticity, how to keep friends while developing power, how to voyage safely into the inner landscape, and how to deal with dark forces-incarnate and disincarnate. At the same time, he provides exercises, tests, and adventures for the courageous-as well as spiritual and ethical compass.

The 1980s saw the peak of a moral panic over fantasy role-playing games such as Dungeons and Dragons. A coalition of moral entrepreneurs that included representatives from the Christian Right, the field of psychology, and law enforcement claimed that these games were not only psychologically dangerous but an occult religion masquerading as a game. Dangerous Games explores both the history and the sociological significance of this panic. Fantasy role-playing games do share several functions in common with religion. However, religionÑas a socially constructed world of shared meaningÑcan also be compared to a fantasy role-playing game. In fact, the claims of the moral entrepreneurs, in which they presented themselves as heroes battling a dark conspiracy, often resembled the very games of imagination they condemned as evil. By attacking the imagination, they preserved the taken-for-granted status of their own socially constructed reality. Interpreted in this way, the panic over fantasy-role playing games yields new insights about how humans play and together construct and maintain meaningful worlds. LaycockÕs clear and accessible writing ensures that Dangerous Games will be required reading for those with an interest in religion, popular culture, and social behavior, both in the classroom and beyond.

The Kundalini is a powerful pool of energy that lies dormant at the base of the spine. For thousands of years the Awakening of the Kundalini has been enshrouded in myth and mystery. The simple fact is that Awakening the Kundalini really isn't that hard! People do it all the time completely by accident. What can be extremely difficult is learning to deal with the changes that an Awakened Kundalini can bring about in your life. Robert Morgen had a Kundalini Awakening during a near-death experience in 1992 and then spent the next decade on a quest to understand what had happened and how to adjust to the changes in his life. "The kundalini can show you why you're here, what life is really all about and help unveil the mysteries surrounding our everyday lives. This book can teach you to calm your mind, improve your health and develop abilities that most people aren't even aware of," says Morgen. Using the exercises in this book, the dedicated Seeker (that's YOU) can not only learn to tap into these hidden reserves of energy, but do so safely and efficiently. The topics covered include: .Meditation Basics: unlocking your inner power .Kundalini and Enlightenment .Developing your Self-Awareness .Seeing and feeling energy .Complete Self Acceptance .Opening and Balancing the Chakras .And much more. "Personal Mastery is an incremental process," says Morgen. "Rather than making huge, unsustainable changes, it's all about developing your true self and becoming the person you were meant to be. No matter who or where you are, your path to your own personal mastery starts right NOW!"
