By Frederick Aardema 2012 In Explorations in Consciousness, Frederick Aardema, a clinical researcher, provides a profound, in-depth account of the out-of-body experience, during which the explorer of consciousness is able to transcend the boundaries of time and space.
In his quest for knowledge, the author seamlessly weaves in his own travels into different fields of consciousness. These include experiences in the personal field, where he is confronted with the constructs of his own psyche, as well as visitations to collective fields of consciousness that appear to have an independent existence beyond the eye of the beholder. Highly original and groundbreaking, Explorations in Consciousness presents a model of reality in which nothing can ever be taken for granted.
It proposes that consciousness is embedded within a wider field of possibilities that become real depending on our interaction with the world around us. Regardless of what you believe about the out-of-body state, this book will challenge and excite you to become an explorer of consciousness. It provides you with all the tools you need for your own journey.
By William W. Aber 1910 There is no system of religion or philosophy, no new theory or science that Spiritualism does not embrace. It has obtained a foothold among men that no other religion or science has been able to reach in regard to a future life. Like other reformations we have and are building such powerful auxiliaries to the success and growth of Spiritualism that no force can disturb its progress.
We hope to make this work plain and comprehensive to its readers. All of this and much more is now easily to be learned by any one who will investigate and study the constantly increasing literature of Spiritualism at the present day. The short, terse paragraphs and independent sentences contained in the three books, Rending the Vail, Beyond the Vail, and the Guiding Star, have given food to the hungry soul. This book will be entirely written by us, different than the other three books, being fully satisfied that the thoughts and expressions contained in this book will richly repay for the time consumed in their study, and that they will throw much needed light in what Spiritualism is, and what Spiritualists believe; this book is herewith presented to the public. By Pandit Shriram Sharma Acharya 2001 From Preface: A detailed description of the history and trends in the oriental and occidental philosophy and science of dreams is presented here. The myths and facts about acquisition of extra sensory knowledge, precognition, and psychological depths of the unconscious mind and the unknown subtle world of the inner self through dreams are elucidated here.
Thorough reviews of Freud’s, Jung’s and contemporary psychological theories vis-à-vis the relevant aspects of the ancient science of spirituality are discussed under broad perspectives. The book presents the invaluable pearls of ancient knowledge in terms of – elucidation of the five levels of dream vis-à-vis the five subtle sheaths of consciousness and the deeper aspects of creative conjugation of mind with the inner impulses of the soul. It is up to us how best we make use of this rare guidance on spiritual evolution and opportunity of epoch-making research bestowed on us. The current status and future scope of research on dreams is discussed with substantial references. Special attention is focused on dream based early detection, diagnosis and therapies in the context of reported scientific experiments. The readers will also get to know how the decipheration of dreams could help resolving the complexities of psychosomatic disorders and elevating one’s psychology.It is said that the ‘time-capsule’ existing in the inner cores of unconscious mind contains the key to realization of supernormal faculties like –– clairvoyance, telepathy, premonition, intuition, audio-visual perceptions beyond the constraints of time and space, complete knowledge of the past and future and of the esoteric features of nature.
The false convictions, illusions and the truth of the transcendental realities of dreams and the subliminal world of the unconscious mind are brought out trenchantly by the author with discussions on a wide variety of live examples of dreams collected from authentic reports and research documents. The list of examples includes the dreams that led to great scientific discoveries or masterpiece creations of literature, art and music in the modern age, as well as the significant dreams of the architects of world history.
By Aaron G.L. Adoni 2012 The Gnosis of Kali Yuga penetrates into the most essential and practical aspects of the esoteric teachings that exist hidden within all great religions and spiritual doctrines. A vast range of schools and systems are explored and found to possess at their core the same essential qualities and ultimate goal: for a radical psychological change to manifest within the aspirant. This transformation occurs through the acquirement of gnosis, or self-knowledge, and only through this pursuit can one acquire true happiness and final liberation.
Unlike many spiritual books, here we will find that neither vain beliefs nor a positive ideology is enough to sustain real contentment and triumph over life’s difficult ordeals. Rather, one must must work for an authentic awakening, an enlightenment, something that is brought about only through intimate self-analysis and fundamental change. By Henry Cornelius Agrippa 1654 The Fourth Book of Occult Philosophy, by Henry Cornelius Agrippa and unnamed others, is considered one of the cornerstones of Western magic, and the grimoires it contains are among the most important that exist in the Western tradition. For more than three hundred years, this mysterious tome has been regarded as difficult or even impossible to understand—until now.
Occult scholar Donald Tyson presents a fully annotated, corrected, and modernized edition of Stephen Skinner’s 1978 facsimile edition of the original work, which was six tracts published as one volume in 1655. For the first time, these classic works of Western magic have been rendered fully accessible to the novice practitioner, as well as occult scholars and skilled magicians. Tyson presents clear instruction and practical insight on a variety of magic techniques, providing contemporary magicians with a working grimoire of the arcane. Astrology - History - Geomancy - Ceremonial Magic - The Nature of Spirits, Angels, and Demons - Geomantic Astronomy - Necromancy - Invocation and Evocation of Spirits. By Henry Cornelius Agrippa 1992 Now you can learn from the original, most important source for magic in the Western world that has ever been published, when you get Agrippa's Three Books of Occult Philosophy. This massive volume was originally published in 1531, and occultists have been drawing on it ever since.
Now, Llewellyn is proud to produce the first complete reprint of the original English translation in the last 500 years. Donald Tyson edited this work and removed the hundreds of errors that appeared in the original translation. He also fully annotated the work, to make it understandable—and usable—by people today.

By Muhyi'ddin Ibn Al-'Arabi 1911 A rabic and Persian poetry, I think it will generally be allowed by those familiar with the mystical literature of both nations that the A rabs excel in prose rather than in verse, while the Persian prose-writers on this subject cannot be compared with the poets.
Faridu ddin A ttar, Jalalu ddin Rumi, Hafiz, and Jami to mention only a few of the great Persian poets whose works, translated into various languages, have introduced the religious philosophy of Sufiism to a rapidly widening circle of European culture are as much superior to their Arab rivals, including even the admirable I bn al-F arid, as the Futukdt al-M akldyya and the Fusus al-H ikam are superior to similar treatises in Persian. The Tarjuman al Axhwaq is no exception to this rule. The obscurity of its style and the strangeness of its imagery will satisfy those austere spirits for whom literature provides a refined and arduous form of intellectual exercise, but the sphere in which the author moves is too abstract and remote from common experience to give pleasure to others who do not share his visionary temper or have not themselves drawn inspiration from the same order of ideas. Nevertheless, the work of such a bold and subtle genius deserves, at any rate, to be studied, and students will find, as a reward for their labour, many noble and striking thoughts and some passages of real beauty.
The following lines are often quoted. They express the Sufi doctrine that all ways lead to the One God. My heart has become capable of every form; it is a pasture for gazelles and a convent for Christian monks, And a temple for idols and the pilgrims Ka ba and the tables of the Tora and the book of the Koran. I follow the religion of Love: whatever way Love scamels take, that is my religion and my faith. L1 xii, 13-15.
(Typographical errors above are due to OCR software and don't occur in the book.) About the Publisher. By Jay Alfred 2006 This book elaborates further on the notion of a 'dark Earth' which is coupled to the visible Earth in the context of Dark Plasma Theory (using a popular approach). This parallel Earth is the habitat of plasma life forms, including human dark bioplasma bodies, and is composed wholly of low density magnetic plasma. The biosphere of this counterpart Earth is many times larger than the (currently) visible Earth and there is enormous biodiversity in this oceanic dark plasma planet which teems with plasma life forms. Unexplained atmospheric plasma (UAP) objects which sporadically appear in our skies and exhibit intelligent behavior are manifestations of these co-inhabitants of Earth.
Depending on the (dark) electromagnetic interactions between dark plasma life forms (including human bioplasma bodies) with vertical electrical fields (radiating from the center of the Earth) and the plasma density of different 'shells', life forms in this parallel Earth (including human bioplasma bodies which have decoupled from their linked carbon-based bodies) gravitate or levitate into particular shells 'higher' shells being coincident with the physical atmosphere of the visible Earth and 'lower' shells with the crust and interior of the Earth. It is possible that these shells have been loosely described as 'heavens' and 'hells' in the anecdotal literature. By Jay Alfred 2006 Can human beings perceive reality directly? Can we enter into a mode where space and time are meaningless but which feels more real than anything you've ever experienced? It is a common theme in religious theory, particularly in the East, that the reality we perceive in our everyday waking consciousness is an illusion - much as a stick in water appears 'broken' because of the refracting light. Most of us would dismiss this suggestion, except for the fact that Science is beginning to say the same.
Modern physics clearly points out that we live in a universe where space and time may be stubborn illusions. The intriguing question is: How did mystics who lived more than 2,000 years ago come to the same conclusions without the aid of scientific instruments or advanced mathematics? Is there really a timeless and spaceless sphere that we can access here and now by merely altering processes in the human brain? This book aims to answer this question.
It also provides insights on how our dark bioplasma bodies (whose existence is theorized by Dark Plasma Theory) communicate with our biochemcial brains and the effect of brain laterlization on the post-mortem state of our dark bioplasma bodies. By Jay Alfred 2005 Do you survive the death of your physical body? What is the nature of the next body and universe you will inhabit? There is growing evidence that human beings possess a series of very high frequency (currently invisible) electromagnetic bodies that survive the death of our physical bodies. These bodies have sometimes been referred to as 'bioplasma' bodies by leading contemporary metaphysicists and 'subtle bodies' in the general metaphysical literature.
This book provides detailed descriptions of the anatomy of these bodies and how they operate in 'counterpart-Earths' - using theories found in established fields in physics - including plasma cosmology, M theory and dark matter theories. It also offers conceptual solutions and breakthroughs in understanding the nature of qi, prana and kundalini; in the context of plasma physics. By James Allen 1909 'There is, and always has been, a widespread belief in Fate, or Destiny, that is, in an eternal and inscrutable Power which apportions definite ends to both individuals and nations. But, contradictory as it may appear, there is an equally widespread belief in man's responsibility as a free agent.
This dual experience of fate on the one hand, and freedom on the other, has given rise to the interminable controversy between the believers in Fatalism and the upholders of free will. Man is the doer of his own deeds; as such he is the maker of his own character; and as the doer of his deeds and the maker of his character, he is the molder and shaper of his destiny.' By James Allen 2011 We cannot alter external things, nor shape other people to our liking, nor mould the world to our wishes but we can alter internal things,-our desires, passions, thoughts,-we can shape our liking to other people, and we can mould the inner world of our own mind in accordance with wisdom, and so reconcile it to the outer world if men and things. The turmoil of the world we cannot avoid, but the disturbances of mind we can overcome. The duties and difficulties of life claim our attention, but we can rise above all anxiety concerning them. Surrounded by noise, we can yet have a quiet mind; involved in responsibilities, the heart can be at rest; in the midst of strife, we can know the abiding peace.
The twenty pieces which comprise this book, unrelated as some of them are in the letter, will be found to be harmonious in the spirit, in that they point the reader towards those heights of self-knowledge and self-conquest which, rising above the turbulance of the world, lift their peaks where the Heavenly Silence reigns. By James Allen 2007 In Byways of Blessedness James Allen instructs us on how to improve our life and spiritual wellbeing through the power of positive thinking. Allen teaches how to see what is right in front of us and to not simply rush. Life is full of beginnings. They are presented every day and every hour to every person. Most beginnings are small, and appear trivial and insignificant, but in reality they are the most important things in life.
James Allen was a British philosophical writer known for his inspirational books and poetry and as a pioneer of self-help movement. Allen's practical philosophy for successful living has awakened millions to the discovery that 'they themselves are makers of themselves'. Allen insists that it is within the power of each person to form his own character and create his own happiness. By James Allen 2011 James Allen (1864-1912) was a philosophical writer of British nationality known for his inspirational books and poetry.
His best known work, As a Man Thinketh, was mass produced since its publication in 1903 and has provided a key source of ideas to countless bestselling motivational and self-help authors of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. As a result he is considered as the pioneer of self help movement. As with many of Allen's works, the book's launch was quiet and its full impact was not felt until after his passing. A passage from the book.
Spiritual meditation is the pathway to Divinity. It is the mystic ladder which reaches from earth to heaven, from error to Truth, from pain to peace. Every saint has climbed it; every sinner must sooner or later come to it, and every weary pilgrim that turns his back upon self and the world, and sets his face resolutely toward the Father's Home, must plant his feet upon its golden rounds.
Without its aid you cannot grow into the divine state, the divine likeness, the divine peace, and the fadeless glories and unpolluting joys of Truth will remain hidden from you. Meditation is the intense dwelling, in thought, upon an idea or theme, with the object of thoroughly comprehending it, and whatsoever you constantly meditate upon you will not only come to understand, but will grow more and more into its likeness, for it will become incorporated into your very being, will become, in fact, your very self. If, therefore, you constantly dwell upon that which is selfish and debasing, you will ultimately become selfish and debased; if you ceaselessly think upon that which is pure and unselfish you will surely become pure and unselfish. By James Allen 1910 James Allens classic AS A MAN THINKETH. The Bestselling Classic That Inspired 'The Secret'.
AS A MAN THINKETH, Allen's most famous book, today is considered a classic self-help book. Its underlying premise is that noble thoughts make a noble person, while lowly thoughts make a miserable person. In 'As a Man Thinketh,' James Allen reveals how our thoughts determine reality. Whether or not we are conscious of it, our underlying beliefs shape our character, our health and appearance, our circumstances, and our destinies. Allen shows how we can master our thoughts to create the life we want, lest we drift through life unconscious of the inner forces that keep us mired in failure and frustration. 'The Vision that you glorify in your mind, the Ideal that you enthrone in your heart-this you will build your life by, this you will become.' This principle, which others have called THE SECRET or the LAW OF ATTRACTION, was clearly and convincingly stated for the first time in 'As a Man Thinketh.'
As a being of Power, Intelligence, and Love, and the lord of his own thoughts, man holds the key to every situation, and contains within himself that transforming and regenerative agency by which he may make himself what he wills.

By Robert Ambelain 1946 EXCERPT FROM TRANSLATOR PREFACE: Martinism has been in existence in its present form for over one hundred years, and there is an abundance of source material, commentaries and modern exegeses available in French, but regrettably little had been translated into English for the benefit of the many anglophones who desperately seek information about this mystical current. Robert Ambelain was a singular force in the preservation and popularization of the Martinist and Elus Cohen Orders, and this book is interesting in both a historical and ritualistic sense, being written during the later years of World War II, when all esoteric societies in France were proscribed. The reader should note that this book was published in 1944, and therefore should realize that later research has shown some of the assertions to be outdated or incorrect.
The reader should take this for what it is, a seminal work on Martinism while remembering its history and the resources available to the author at the time. By Ruth Ann Amberstone,Wald Amberstone 2003 Learning to read the Tarot is a continuous process of change and growth.
Even experienced Tarot readers often find surprising insights in a reading or notice a detail in a Tarot card that had never seemed significant before.

Tarot Tips is a compendium of sage advice and practical Tarot wisdom from two respected teachers with decades of Tarot experience. Divided into six sections, the seventy-eight “tips” cover common questions of interest to beginning and advanced students alike, including choosing and cleansing a new deck, different interpretation systems and card combinations, clarifying the question, Tarot reading ethics, and designing your own custom Tarot spreads.
By Nur Ankh Amen 1999 It behooves the African anthropologist to use every scientific discipline that modern technology has to offer, in the tradition of Chiekh Anta Diop, to acquire the correct perspective on African high culture and civilization. Now is the time for Africans to wrestle Egyptology from the clutches of the distorters of our civilization, by a more forceful and public attack on their lies. We must expose to the light of truth, every falsification and every claim of a European or Asian origin of Kemit and re-establish the link with our ancestors for the sake of our children. By Ra Un Nefer Amen 2010 You cannot realize your divinity from your understanding of spiritual principles, however well you have understood.
Realization of divinity depends on the establishment of 11 divine Laws-Maat-into the mind and life-force of the initiate to give them spiritual power of realization. They must be placed into the mind In a specific order as they are interdependent And at a specific time of the year according to the receptivity of the spirit (Ra) which must provide the spiritual vehicles for their manifestation.
