Alchemy is the ancient sacred science concerned with the mysteries of life and consciousness as reflected through all Nature. It is a harmonious blending of physical and subtle forces which lifts the subject, whether it be man or metal, to a more evolved state of being. The Way of the Crucible is a ground-breaking modern manual on the art of Alchemy that draws on both modern scientific technology and ancient methods. A laboratory scientist and chemist, Bartlett provides an overview of how practical alchemy works along with treatises on Astrology, Qabalah, Herbalism, and minerals, as they relate to Alchemy. He also explains what the ancients really meant when they used the term "Philosopher's Stone" and describes practical methods toward its achievement. The Way of the Crucible provides directions for a more advanced understanding of the mineral work -- what some consider the true domain of Alchemy.

And with The Map of Consciousness, we can truly understand the total spectrum of human consciousness. Using a unique muscle-testing method, Dr David R.

New in paperback: A renowned health authority reveals how we can protect ourselves against the harmful effects of electromagnetic fields. The hazards of electronic pollution may once have been the stuff of science fiction, but now we know they're all too real. And now that 5G ultra-wideband technology is here to stay, the danger is greater than ever. Dr. Joseph Mercola, one of the world's foremost authorities on alternative health, has mined the scientific literature to offer a radical new understanding of how electromagnetic fields impact your body and mind. In this eye-opening guide, now available in paperback for the first time, he reveals: What EMFs (electromagnetic fields) actually are, where you find them in your daily life, and how they affect you The toll that EMFs have been proven to take on human health--and why you've been largely kept in the dark about this threat How you can actually repair the damage done by EMFs at a cellular level Practical strategies to protect yourself and your loved ones from EMFs at home, at work, and out in the world "Dr. Mercola's groundbreaking new book on the health effects of EMFs is both a sobering tale and an effective call to action." -- Thomas Cowan, M.D., author of Vaccines, Autoimmunity, and the Changing Nature of Childhood Illness and Cancer and the New Biology of Water

Chock-full of wisdom and inspiration, this deck, based on Dr. Hawkins's groundbreaking and remarkable book of the same name, offers ways to dissolve negativity and move toward love in an engaging, accessible format.

When Dr. Hawkins wrote his groundbreaking and remarkable book Power vs. Force, he didn’t realize what a huge response it would receive―one that continues to this day. People from all over the world are so excited when they learn that instead of using “force” for answers, which is exhausting and debilitating, they can use “power,” the innate energy within all of us that brings about lasting positive changes and uplifts the world.

This inspirational card deck highlights the main ideas from the chapters in Power vs. Force that a person can encompass every day, to light their day, and to contemplate for better understanding.

Messages include:

· It is not life's events, but one's reaction to them, that activates the symptoms of stress.
· To become more conscious is the greatest gift anyone can give to the world.
· Simple kindness to one's self and all that lives is the most powerful transformational force of all.
· Power gives life and energy. Force takes these away.
· The discovery that nothing is hidden and truth stands everywhere revealed is the key to enlightenment about the simplest practical affairs and the destiny of mankind.

Whether you are puzzled as to what to do in a given situation, or want to start your day with a bright message that carries you throughout the day, the card you choose will bring you an encouraging message.

It started in 1978 with an ordinary coffee shop near Kyoto. Word spread that the waitresses wore no panties under their miniskirts. Similar establishments popped up across the country. Men waited in line outside to pay three times the usual coffee price just to be served by a panty-free young woman. Within a few years, a new craze took hold: the no-panties "massage" parlor. Increasingly bizarre services followed, from fondling clients through holes in coffins to commuter-train fetishists. One particularly popular destination was a Tokyo club called "Lucky Hole" where clients stood on one side of a plywood partition, a hostess on the other. In between them was a hole big enough for a certain part of the male anatomy. Taking the Lucky Hole as his title, Nobuyoshi Araki captures Japan's sex industry in full flower, documenting in more than 800 photos the pleasure-seekers and providers of Tokyo's Shinjuku neighborhood before the February 1985 New Amusement Business Control and Improvement Act put a stop to many of the country's sex locales. Through mirrored walls, bed sheets, the bondage and the orgies, this is the last word on an age of bacchanalia, infused with moments of humor, precise poetry, and questioning interjections.
