Shiva Somadev

""All things perish, Truth alone remains" - Katha Upanishad

What if this seemingly solid world and our life within it is not an "objective reality" but an illusion "Maya" (that which is not but yet appears to be) -an extremely detailed and very complex dream of our True Self?

Have you ever wondered of how would it feel like to wake up from this dream-illusion of a separate "little me" and realise yourself as none other but Almighty God-Absolute in all Astonishing Divine Glory?

What as an Awakened God would you experience then?

In the same way as the Great Seers (Maharishis) pierced through the veils of illusion and discovered in great amazement the magnificent Divine Language (Para Vak) at the Source of Creation, so is the author of the "Journey into the Heart of Reality" has been blessed to break through all illusory boundaries into the Highest Realm of Supreme Divine Language - the Living Word of God - Logos - Source-code - the Creatrix of all "realities".

In this exalted state of SAMAVESHA (Divine Possession), being fully possessed by the Supreme Energy (Shakti) of the Absolute (Shiva), he was taken on an astonishing ride of an untangling from the webs of illusion into the Purest Joy, Undiminishing Wonder, Divine Ecstasy and Boundless Freedom of Self-Realization.

Shiva Somadev dares to speak about the True Nature of Reality not because of his vast theoretical knowledge but purely because of his Direct Experience of It.

Unlike the majority of spiritual teachers who belittle, trivialise and devalue the role of psychedelic substances and mystical experiences in a process of spiritual awakening, Shiva Somadev integrate the wisdom of Sacred plants with his extremely powerful Kumbhaka Prana Yoga.

This combination of the quintessential aspects of Tantrik, Yogic and Shamanic practices with the "heroic doses" of plant teachers and psychedelic substances, in author’s view and experience, although undoubtedly frightening, is the most powerful vehicle towards Self-Realization and Liberation (Moksha, Kaivalya).

Following the author's fascinating story and his courageous experiments with the psychedelic substances you will be taken into the higher and lower dimensions, dropped into the frightening depths of cold hells and raised to the Ecstatic realms of Pure Divine Intelligence. You will be visiting parallel universes, and ascending with the rapture of wonder and astonishment into the pulsating Heart of Creation.

"Journey into the Heart of Reality" is a deeply personal writing from experience, which is what is most important. There are so many layers to this book, heart warming and poetic, exciting travel log in India, mysticism, science, romance, compassion, adventure and very well written visual into the higher realities of consciousness beyond the screen or ordinary view.

From start to finish Shivasoma takes one on a journey into his life and realizations from the ordinary to the profound and beautifully binds it all together into an exciting adventure where one can learn many things about consciousness, culture and ways to invoke the sacred while keeping one entertained and interested from page to page." - Markandeya Dasa

JHR is not only entertains you but most importantly lays out practical way to discovery of the greatest treasure of all - Self-Knowledge.

If you enjoyed reading such books as "In Search of the Miraculous" by P. D. Ouspensky, "Autobiography of a Yogi" by Paramahansa Yogananda, "Food of the Gods" by Terence Mckenna or "The Psychedelic Experience" by Timothy Leary, you would love the "Journey into the Heart of Reality"

Review

ASTONISHING REVELATION

Shiva's courageous experiments with the heroic doses of sacred plants teachers in tandem with his extremely powerful KUMBHAKA PRANA YOGA brought him to the state of full Divine Possession ( SAMAVESHA [Kashmir Shaivism]). Possessed by the Divine Energy (SHAKTI) of Highest Reality (SHIVA) he lost the sense of separate individuality in Bliss and Ecstasy of Absolute Freedom.  Shiva's consciousness broke through all veils of illusion to the Highest Realm of Reality - the Divine Dynamic Language - Word-God

The central teaching of Journey into the Heart of Reality, KUMBHAKA PRANA YOGA is truly a quintessence of yogic-shamanic techniques, triumphant vehicle to realization of Absolute Truth. This outstanding book is destined to become a spiritual classic.
