The Spiritual Engineering of Sacred Ecstasy - Paperback

by The Keeneys (Author)

Spiritual engineering brings a radically profound contribution to spirituality: clear instruction in the specific action needed to induce, enhance, and sustain sacred ecstasy, the utmost mystical communion and union with the divine. This groundbreaking book introduces creative practices and mystical techniques that ready you for old-school ecstatic spiritual awakening.The Keeneys initially get you working with the essential "ingredients" of sacred ecstasy-fascinating rhythm, spontaneous movement, tonal alignment, and sacred emotion. You are next introduced to the required but typically overlooked art of ecstatically turning a mystical prayer wheel. This enables the heartfelt reception and soulful expression of sacred song, the triggering of sanctified shaking, the activation of an inner rhythm machine, the release of spontaneous ecstatic healing, and more. Rather than offer reductionist techniques that dilute the sacred, the tools in this book invite you to plunge more deeply into divine mystery, empower your hookup to God, and set your soul on fire.The beginning inspiration for spiritual engineering arose from the Keeneys' visionary dreams of the forgotten genius and pioneer sensory physiologist Charles Henry who conducted his work at the Sorbonne in Paris during the late 19th century. Dreams of Henry, along with Nikola Tesla, William Blake, Zora Neale Hurston, and others led the Keeneys to "reverse engineer" sacred ecstatic experience so that sincere seekers from any spiritual tradition can open the door to an ecstatically charged spiritual life.This book is a mutual and equal collaboration of Hillary Keeney, Ph.D. and Bradford Keeney, Ph.D., authors of Sacred Ecstatics: The Recipe for Setting Your Soul on Fire, Climbing the Rope to God: Mystical Testimony and Teaching, Way of the Bushman: Spiritual Teachings and Practices of the Kalahari Ju/'hoansi, Circular Therapeutics: Giving Therapy a Healing Heart, Creative Therapeutic Technique: Skills for the Art of Bringing Forth Change, and Recursive Frame Analysis: A Qualitative Research Method for Mapping Change-Oriented Discourse. www.sacredecstatics.com
