Awake!: Walking a Shamanic Path to Freedom Book

Notable claims:
Greco-Roman deities and mythological cycles describe respiration and interoception. The labors of Hercules are really twilight-language to describe progressive jhana absorption. Hercules is a yogi. The Iliad is a terma. Druids and Celtic head-hunters were rishis, aware of a cosmic map in the bones and inlets of human skulls.
...Big if true. Sansonese, as he makes no effort to hide, is himself a tantrist arguing in support of an underlying tantric current beneath exoteric religious tradition, especially the hellene mystery schools which fed the monastic tradition of Orthodox Christianity. He defines the role of Greco-Roman deities as comparable, or equivalent, to the tantric symbolism of Hindu deities in the accomplishment of yogic exercises.

While there are several, perhaps even valid parallels between Greek "navel-gazing", Orthodox hesychasm, Hindu tantra, the pagan rites of the British isles, and the I Ching, among other things, the scholarly rigor required to lucidly unify them is not presented here.
