Is anyone reading this book? While my notion of what the book was going to be and what it is are entirely different I am enjoying the excercises in it.

Swear
What is the dirtiest word you know? Whatever word is the filthiest for you, say it out loud when you are alone.
Say it several times. Then say, “I love you,” imagining that you are with someone you love. Say, “I love you,” several times, with real feeling.
Alternate between saying your dirtiest word and “I love you,” until you can say the dirty word with as much love, heart openness, and soft benediction as, “I love you.”
Then, with a trusted friend or lover, alternate saying your chosen bad word and “I love you” out loud, until he or she feels your love equally transmitted through both expressions.
Choose another filthy word, and repeat this process. Bad word, I love you, bad word, I love you… until the felt offering of your love is carried equally by both expressions.
After turning bad words into carriers of your love, practice saying every word that you utter, from now until you die, in a way that feels like “I love you” to whoever hears you.
When you notice yourself speaking lovelessly, return to this exercise, starting with the filthiest word you can, until you can speak every word, once again, as a felt carrier of love. This may take minutes or decades of practice.

There is also another practice like this in Aghora...
One Aghori I read in a book went and offered his shit on his puja to the Hanuman idol painting in a temple... the swami of the temple was upset and kicked the Aghori out... and the story goes that Hanuman idol peeled off the wall and began to follow the Aghori
there are other practices that Aghori's can eat dead-flesh from corpses...
some Aghori's are also able to take the dead-flesh and transmute it to a fruit, like a banana... and it will hold that form just like a regular banana

the real 'essence' of this practice is to come to realize the 'unchangeable' in underlying in everything
it is the same self, the same awareness, the same "Purusha" that everything is made of, and being animated from
