Publisher Description

Kali's Child is largely about the cultural, religious, and historical processes by which the saint's astonishing 'secret talk' guhya katha in the Bengali texts was systematically censored and suppressed by the tradition as it passed into the English translations and Western culture. Of course, these same censorship processes continue into the present witness the two ban movements , and they can easily be seen again now on Wikipedia, on the 'Talk' pages of the entries involving Ramakrishna, Kali's Child , and me.

Just go and look. But don't read the Wikipedia entries. Read the 'Talk,' that is, the 'secret talk' behind the Wikipedia entries. As with the original Bengali texts behind the English bowdlerized texts, or the unconscious behind the conscious surface ego, the truth is not what appears on the surface to the public. The truth is what does not appear, what has been erased and suppressed. Kripal' is a bit like listening to Rush Limbaugh for accurate information about President Obama. If you agree with Limbaugh, it's great stuff.

If you don't, it's a lesson in bad logic and grossly distorting rhetoric. Answer: "The fact that I have published six books and so many people are still stuck on the first, which they don't read, or read and don't understand. If people read all six books, they would understand why I wrote Kali's Child and what it really means in the long run, what it evolved into. Question: "Okay, so let's talk about the others. What did you write after Kali's Child? Answer: "You know, I was not trained simply to study Hinduism. That was only one of many interests.

I knew they could, of course, because I had originally developed my ideas about the homoerotic structure of male mysticisms in the context of an enlightened and caring Roman Catholic seminary, but I wanted to show this now. I also wanted to show that scholars of mysticism are not the dry academics or eggheads people think they are, that they study what they study because they themselves have had profound mystical experiences out-of-body or near-death experiences, altered states of consciousness, paranormal and psychical cognitions, visions, precognitive dreams, you name it. These experiences are often profound, and sometimes bizarre, and they almost never fit into the religions or cultures in which the scholars live.

It is often precisely that not-fitting-in that makes a scholar in the humanities a scholar and an intellectual an intellectual: if you fit in, you don't question, you can't question. In terms of the study of comparative mysticism, I argued that the scholarship is essentially an attempt to understand and re-fit a deeply personal anomalous experience back into some acceptable cultural form, in this case, professional scholarship and the academy, where 'unconventional' is a compliment and an ideal, as in the new motto of Rice University.

Its title comes from the 'Proverbs of Hell' of the great British Romantic visionary William Blake: 'The road of excess leads to the palace of wisdom. Answer: "It wasn't. It was totally ignored. It's as if the book doesn't exist, and this despite the fact that I think it is one of my best, if not the best. Very recently, the Sinhalese anthropologist Gananath Obeyesekere cited this book as immediately congruent with his own intellectual-visionary project on the first page of The Awakened Ones.

He reads my work, correctly, as an attempt to bring together rational and non-rational or super-rational modes of knowing into a single rigorous spiritual-intellectual practice. And that gives me hope. Perhaps Roads will still find its ready readers, then. Answer: "Well, I decided to try again.

The controversies around Kali's Child continued to simmer. I tried, as best I could, to sit with them. I corresponded with hundreds of colleagues and correspondents, even some of the critics.

This taught me a great deal. I became more and more sensitive to and savvy about the intimate and sinister practices of censorship and ideological control, which work through a hundred different channels, all at once: political, economic, cultural, emotional, religious, and journalistic. Essentially, these experiences of being the constant object of someone else's censorship and shaming campaigns radicalized and politicized my thinking about the study of religion in the modern world.

I now knew, in my bones as it were, just how important and yet misunderstood the professional study of religion is, how incredibly radical and liberating it can be, and, most of all, how vulnerable it is to non-liberal ideologies. I decided to sublimate the darkness into light. That's how I wrote The Serpent's Gift. The central image of the serpent's gift here refers to the biblical story of Adam and Eve, which features a gracious snake who wants to teach a beautiful young couple and awaken them to their own godhood through the fruit of eros this is why the two become immediately aware of their genitals the moment they eat it.

A jealous and petty god refuses this first classroom and banishes the couple to exile and mortality. Nor is it intended to be. But neither did I make it up. It goes back to the ancient Jewish and Christian gnostic writers of the second and third centuries, who used it for their own purposes. And so I used it for my own. I employed it to speak openly about the power, beauty, and risks of teaching the critical study of religion in the modern world, particularly as it involves the study of eroticism chapter 1 , mystical humanism chapter 2 , comparativism chapter 3 , and esotericism chapter 4.

The book begins with a chapter on the sexualities of Jesus and ends with a chapter on the X-Men. Not your typical academic book. Answer: "Well, really well.

Still enjoying being a young man, but looking over the wall into the other side, you know?

We meet in a London park on a bright and chilly spring day, and it strikes me that Murphy slender, slouching, his cheeks reddened by cold and a long fringe swept boyishly to one side would not look out of place with a muddy football under his arm. If you can maintain it. We begin a circular stroll around the park and discuss Tommy Shelby, the character Murphy plays in Peaky Blinders , the BBC historical drama that first broadcast in and starts its third series next month.

Shelby is a racecourse hustler turned crime lord in interwar Birmingham: extremely violent, extremely determined and centrally defined by an absolute disregard for his own existence. Deep down, maybe wishing to die. Which makes him terrifying, you know? Knife fights are not infrequent, but it would be an uncharacteristically benign episode of Peaky Blinders were Tommy Shelby to be threatened only with razors.

The new series will pick up after a second-series finale during which Shelby avoided execution in a muddy field. At the very end of that long, fierce scene — a piece of properly unforgettable telly — he staggered away looking almost aggrieved not to have been finally put down.
