Foreword

The protection of ones own physical, mental, and spiritual integrity has always been a fundamental component of old as well as new survival and cultural technologies: Primordial shamanism, the god and demon cults of Sumer and Egypt, the yoga practices of Indian Vedic culture, the culture of the Taoist martial arts rooted in China and Southeast Asia, the mystery schools of Greco-Roman antiquity, the hermetic ceremonial magic of the Renaissance and its renewed formation in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, the New Thought movement, positive thinkingthey all deal in detail with the magical protection of humanity.

In a completely different context, the more secular disciplines have applied themselves to this subject since their inception. From psychology to the social sciences, from anthropology, cognitive psychology and applied neurology to the more pragmatic areas of success and management coachingthe same question is always foremost: How does a person function on their own and in a social setting, and what must they do to weather lifes challenges successfully?

This work goes into the basics of Western and Eastern survival disciplines; namely the three fundamental levels of human existence: body, mind, and soul. The concept will be communicated through easily comprehensible and undemanding instructions and practices. The emphasis is on the practical application of oldand yet ever new, all the samespiritual and anthropological knowledge.

What follows is an unconventional approach to a genuinely integrated everyday model of protection, still proven to be extremely powerful.

Our Strengths, Our Weaknesses, and Our
Self-inflicted ImmaturityAn Appraisal

You dont have to continue referring to the Crown of Creation to pay appropriate tribute to humanity and its place in nature. It is beyond dispute that humanity should be recognized as the epitome of evolutions success. No other species has come anywhere as close to bringing the planet so comprehensively under its control as the human race has. It really doesnt matter that in the hit parade of successful life forms, rivals emerge that could be taken seriously purely in a numerical sense, for example insects, bacteria, or viruses. To a great extent they might even be better equipped for survival. It is said that there are certain species of insects that would even live through a nuclear war, something that humanity could barely hope to do. However, we have stamped our mark upon the earth. Our level of influence has reached so far that we, in the truest sense of the word, could utterly obliterate our home planet overnight; a thing that most of us probably agree would be a rather dubious achievement.

For sure, there are arguments over when exactly human development began, whether it was fifty thousand or two million years ago. That is merely a question of definition and of ones particular academic method of approach. All the same, it cannot be denied that humanity is without a doubt anything but all-powerful and invulnerable. There have in fact already been several evolutionary biologists who have maintained that the survival of humanity is more than a little bit surprising, as the human being is actually quite a fragile creature. Even though it has proved itself to be eminently adaptableto the deserts of Africa, the Asian steppes, and the ice fields of the Arctichumanity also requires a very finely balanced environment. Just a half percent more or less nitrogen in the earths atmosphere and it could all look quite different. No one knows for sure what would happen to the human project it if actually came to a pole shift, which has certainly taken place several times already in the earths history. Todays concerns about the ways and means in which we collectively but also individually treat our environment are more than a passing fad. It might take a long time for humanity to become fully aware of its dependencies and to have an inkling that the flipside of the progress fetish that has so fervently gripped us since the Enlightenment and the subsequent Industrial Revolution has within itself the potential capacity for failure, which might not be described as merely a low-level industrial accident, if it manifests itself in the entire species complete extinction.
