The Saffron Tiger is a unique and vivid first-hand account of a Kundalini Awakening?the ultimate goal of Yoga. It stands out by exploring the stages of the evolution of consciousness embedded in the allegories of classic mythology and weaving them into a true story of self-realization in a modern setting.
The work draws upon the central myth of the Tantric gods of Kundalini Yoga?Shiva and Shakti?in the five-thousand-year-old Vigyan Bhairav Tantra, known as the birth of yoga. The myth of the Hero's Journey in Homer's epic poem The Odyssey is explored and integrated, among many others, such as King Midas, Oedipus and the ancient Sumerian myth of metamorphosis in the goddess Inanna's descent to the underworld. These myths reveal the timeless path and principles to evolving consciousness, individuation and self-realization.
The Saffron Tiger is a gripping exploration of the archetype of transformation and the mechanics of consciousness. It unravels the secrets of consciousness and spiritual awakening by exploring Carl Jung's hidden journal, The Red Book: Liber Novus. This work spawned his unique approach to psychology, his revolutionary theories on the archetypes and the collective unconscious, and their connection with the symbology and innate transformational processes described in medieval alchemy.
What is the role of endogenous DMT?the most potent psychedelic molecule in existence that is produced in the human body?in our dreams, shamanic visions, and the path to the undiscovered Self? What is the Kundalini, the Divine Mother and archetype of the Goddess?the energy of all Creation? How can we reconcile Her mythology and immense power with psychology and science?
The Saffron Tiger is a remarkable story that challenges our understanding of reality and the true potential of human consciousness. It exposes the fault lines of Western medicine by exploring the most suppressed archetype in modern times: the archetype of transformation, Socrates' highly desirous state of "Divine Madness" as a catalyst for metamorphosis, and the chaotic and spontaneous awakening of the coiled serpent?Kundalini Shakti?in the unprepared and modern initiate.
It posits an essential question inspired by Hermetic philosophy, which states that all paradoxes have the potential to be reconciled: What if God is consciousness, and the supreme paradox is that God is evolution? In the spirit of alchemy, which seeks to convert seemingly valueless metals into gold, can one story of life and transformation turn an atheist into a mystified believer?
