Welcome to a world of subversive literature filled with magical
wisdom and the decoding of the occult. In this volume, author
Azazel Rama explores the ancient secrets of astral travel and
reveals a doorway to the multiverse of endless potential. He then
reveals how the heretical views of science and nature can slay the
dragon of religion with common sense. This is not a self-help
seminar filled with happy sunshine, nonsense codes, and false
rainbows; this is a journey into the forbidden. "The Church of the
Free Mind" has opened its gates, and within this Holy Temple no
messiah shall be said to exist.
Written as a diatribe against words, this is the true philosophy
of a snake swallowing its own tail. Behold the self-consuming god
that exists within the flesh and souls of all living beings. Embark
upon a spiritual exploration of a higher order of freedom as it
relates to an unconsciously connected society of human animals, and
learn the moral codes of Mother Nature as she echoes a sense of
natural law through the depths of our collective being. This
collection of essays proposes a way to enter a new cycle of human
understanding.
Every statement that a person makes is either true or false-that
is, a lie. In his comprehensive study, "Lies Have Ruined the
World," author Dennis Proux seeks to expose the dishonesty, myths,
and fabrications provided by powerful influences in the most
important areas of our lives, including religious institutions,
government, and our legal system.
Proux feels that all humans yearn to be free to discover their
own worlds and realize their full potential. While relying on the
wisdom and insight from such authors as Charles Darwin, Thomas
Paine, Carl Sagan, and countless others, Proux offers a compelling
glimpse into the lies surrounding western monotheistic religions,
Wall Street, and our nation's government and justice system. As he
examines biblical tales, reveals corruption within our society, and
dissects many painful realities, Proux offers insight and potential
solutions that will ultimately inspire a life based on fact and
honesty, rather than on fiction and lies.
"Lies Have Ruined the World" encourages seekers of the truth to
explore their own perceptions of the failure of western
institutions to garner and hold trust.
Philosophy and the advances in cosmology, neurology, molecular
biology, and the social sciences have made the convincing and
converging arguments for God's existence more probable than ever in
history. On God's Existence is concise summary of these arguments
as well as new arguments inspired by the advances of the sciences.
Why Jesus’s historic and cultural influence makes him fascinating, provocative, and relevant for everyone, not only Christians.
Two thousand years after his birth and death, Jesus of Nazareth continues to be of vital interest. Yet much of the scholarship around Jesus focuses on his religious significance. Jesus for Everyone examines his most famous teachings from a fresh perspective, exploring how they have continued to shape ethics and civilization in the West for two millennia.
Even for those who reject faith, Jesus’s life and his philosophy are important to study, writes renowned biblical scholar and author Amy-Jill Levine, because of the insights they hold for us today. Poring through scripture, analyzing what historical scholarship has revealed about Jesus’s views on a number of subjects—including women—reveals surprising messages sure to be fascinating to all readers.
Placing Jesus of Nazareth within his historical context, Levine brings him vividly into focus and invites everyone from faithful Christians, agnostics, and the most committed nonbelievers to appreciate his lasting impact on the modern world.

freedom. Freedom is not just a passion but a God given right. This
book explores the realms of freedom and discusses some of the
various types of freedom needed in different facets of human lives
and endeavors. It lays hold on the reasons freedom may have been
curtailed in certain environments, and how it can be released and
restored. Freedom is discussed as a case of deliverance in the
realms of the spirit and the natural. Learn how to raise a battle
against the enemy in order to obtain emancipation from all manner
of satanic terrorism and interferences. You need the gift of
freedom. You can be free. This book provides the antidote to your
freedom.
Conventional medicine focuses on the body's physical symptoms. But
more and more patients are questioning the limitations of this
approach and are exploring holistic approaches, such as
anthroposophic medicine, which also addresses the human soul -- our
individual thinking, will and feelings -- and the human spirit, our
self-awareness and essence. Anthroposophic medicine is an extension
of, not a replacement to, conventional medicine. This comprehensive
book introduces and explores the philosophy and practice of
anthroposophic medicine, which is based on principles developed by
Rudolf Steiner. It discusses many alternative therapies and areas
of health including artistic therapies, massage, childhood
illnesses, cancer and psychiatry. Healing for Body, Soul and Spirit
will inform and engage a general reader, with no medical
background, who is interested in alternative and holistic
approaches to human health.
