Raja Yoga Elevation Of The Mind From Consciousness To Hyperconsciousness: Theory And Practice. Indian And Greek Thought

This book was first published in 1983. It is the highest level of my teachings in Esoteric Initiation. In essence, the subject being taught, is the ascendance of consciousness to places and worlds of another, unknown frequency.
A practical method of ascending towards the transcendental and hyper-conscious state of the human mind. Any person can enter this grand and sacred path of the Divine Encounter.
Written with enthusiasm and with the hope that it will assist anyone in using this simple method for the activation of the up until now immobilized other half of the human mind.
Counted in second minutes, the times of the different phases of concentration, meditation and ecstasy-union-Samadhi, provide the student with the ability and certainty of walking on the spiritual and mental paths of their own self with great ease and certain results.
Raja Yoga or the Royal Way is the organized union of the human mind with the area of the transcendental frequency-state.
Socrates, or rather the Platonic Socrates, calls it stochasmos (intense focusing or concentration or meditation). This is the most suitable word to use. Only through stochasmos can the mind locate its third side, the hyper-conscious side. Then, the conscious and the subconscious sides completely recede to the back of the mind and leave the hyper-conscious in full control, which leads humans to the proper frequencies so that they become capable of sensing higher stimuli.
At the same time, it is harmony and perfection itself. The entrance of anyone in the vibrations of these frequencies will culminate in their being eternal from that moment on. They will feel perfection and will vibrate with harmony itself.
There is no need for any special equipment. Determination and genuine enthusiasm are the only things needed. Take this system, this holy gift, in your hands without fear and head towards the dawn, illuminated by the light of knowledge.
This book is considered a unique work. The entirety of the psychophysiology of elevation of the Mind from consciousness to hyperconsciousness, in places and worlds of another unknown frequency, are given in a practical and fully detailed way through meditation.
It is a complete, practical scientific method of ascending to the transcendental and hyperconscious state of the human Mind, which creates the hope for every person to become worthy to ascend to this Holy Path of the Divine Meeting. It constitutes the natural continuity and extension of the homonymous study of the great spiritual Master Vivekananda, which spread the spiritual aspect of yoga in the West.
With the publication of this book, an avenue of access is being opened to the authentic and profound analysis, both theoretical and practical, on Raja Yoga internationally, which is believed to be a springboard and undisturbed marker for every honest seeker of the spiritual path and of the practical means of support, necessary for this purpose.
