YOU CAN LEARN TO PERFECT ANCIENT ARTS

NOT A PARLOR TRICK

A former military intelligence operative and author of over a dozen best sellers says not only has the intelligence community beenable to perfect invisibility through projects such as the Philadelphia Experiment and the use of Stealth technology, but that such techniques were actually derived from psychic abilities that are a part of psychic, occult and religious lore.

"There are many accounts of Popes, Saints and Monks -- as well as ordinary individuals -- vanishing into thin air and appearing elsewhere almost instantly,"says Commander X. "Nor is the science of Levitation to be taken lightly, for didn't even Jesus 'walk' upon the water? Cases of human levitation aren't that rare," the author reveals. "The power of levitation is dormant in us all and needs but the proper catalyst to be set into motion."

Members of various Secret Societies have long been practicing both invisibility and levitation as a matter of daily routine.

This book offers various techniques that really WORK, providing the reader with dozens of examples of How-To Training Course which takes the subject out of its mystical surroundings and places it in a scientific -- and most -- practical framework.

Philip Jenkins looks at how the image of the cult evolved and why panics about such groups occur at certain times. He examines the deep roots of cult scares in American history, offering the first-ever history and analysis of cults and their critics fromthe 19th century to the present day. Contrary to popular belief, Jenkins shows, cults and anti-cult movements were not an invention of the 1960's, but in fact are traceable to the mid-19th century, when Catholics, Mormons and Freemasons were equally denounced for violence, fraud and licentiousness. He finds that, although there are genuine instances of aberrant behavior, a foundation of truth about fringe religious movements is all but obscured by a vast edifice of myth, distortion and hype.

"The Dome of Provisions" refers to a sacred place under God's Throne that is only accessible by His chosen ones. It is the main source of heavenly secrets and blessings sent to the hearts of people. This collection of spiritual discourses is based on ancient teachings of famous Sufi masters of the Naqshbandi Golden Chain, to whom the author is directly connected. Lessons outline the mind-body-spirit connection and inspire readers to "Maqam al-Ihsan," the Station of Moral Excellence, in which one surrenders the ego and personal desires to Divine Will. Memorable accounts of previous masters and their disciples, the struggles they faced and the lofty heights they reached rounds out this work. Basic knowledge of Sufi principles is recommended.

The first critical treatment of Scientology that seeks to identify and correct what is wrong with it rather than to merely expose or advocate against the subject. A handbook for former, current and prospective members. The book can help to heal any damage done by misuse while rehabilitating any positives derived from Scientology. The book also serves to proof up an individual against being harmed by misapplication of Scientology in the future. As the first simple, accurate description of the philosophy from its introductory to its most advanced levels, the book will inform those interested in Scientology as no other available work has.

VectorsBackCover French philosopher Rene Guenon (1886-1951), who spent many years searching for a true esoteric Way, crossed paths with many false and subversive spiritualities before arriving at the threshold of Islamic Sufism. In his prophetic masterpiece The Reign of Quantity and the Signs of the Times he classed the worst of these spiritualities as examples of the Counter-Initiation. Anti-Tradition-secularism and materialism-opposes religion; Counter-Tradition inverts it; and the esoteric essence of Counter-Tradition is the Counter-Initiation. The author expands on this concept, recognizing the action of the Counter-Initiation in such areas as the politicizing of the interfaith movement, the anti-human tendencies in the environmental movement, the growing interest in magic and sorcery, the involvement of the intelligence communities in the fields of UFO investigation and psychedelic research, the history of Templarism and Freemasonry, and the de-Islamicization of the famous Sufi poet, Jalaluddin Rumi. Vectors of the Counter-Initiation is conceived of as a sequel to The System of Antichrist: Truth and Falsehood in Postmodernism and the New Age Sophia Perennis, 2001]. The Counter-Initiation has six main features: syncretism; inverted hierarchy; deviated esoterism; the granting of the temporal transmission of spiritual lore precedence over the vertical descent of Revelation; the reduction of religion to utilitarianism (magic) and esoterism to a purely technical knowledge (Promethean spirituality); and the mis-application of the norms of the individual spiritual Path to the supposed spiritual evolution of the collective. The Counter-Initiation is the ego's idea of spirituality. It appears in the Old Testament as the Serpent in the garden, Cain's murder of Abel, the "sons of God who looked upon the daughters of men and found them fair," the Tower of Babel, the degeneration of Sodom, and the magicians of Pharaoh whom Moses defeated. In the New Testament it is personified by Judas, and in the Qur'an by the figure of as-Samiri, who forged the Golden Calf, and the angels Harut and Marut-testers of man by God's design-who taught magic to the human race in Babylon. For both traditions, it is destined to culminate in Antichrist. This book brings together two schools of thought: the Traditionalists or Perennialists (writers on comparative religion and traditional metaphysics) and the conspiracy theorists who are investigating the origin, nature, and plans of the New World Order. The NWO researchers can throw a penetrating light on the social and political dangers presently threatening the Perennialists, while the Perennialists can provide these researchers with a deeper and wider spiritual context for their vision of human evil. In Guenon's time the Counter-Initiation appeared in terms of this or that secret society operating in the shadowy underworld of European occultism; it has now come up into the open, and moved inexorably toward the centers of global power. In the words of American Eastern Orthodox priest Seraphim Rose, "in our time Satan has walked naked into human history."

This peer-reviewed study represents a culmination of years of research into the history of the Theosophical Society. In this unique project which combines biographies with source analyses, Jeffrey D. Lavoie records a detailed history of the early Theosophical Society and examines its relationship with the modern Spiritualist movement between the years 1875-1891. Special attention has been paid to some of the neglected figures associated with these organizations including Arthur Lillie- the Gnostic-occultist and early critic of the Theosophical Society; the Davenport Brothers- the Spiritualist mediums who developed many of the standard elements which became associated with modern Spiritualism; Alfred Wallace- the prominent scientist, Spiritualist, and supposed member of the Theosophical Society and many others. This work will appeal to a wide array of readers including those interested in modern religious movements, Western Esotericism, South Asian history, and Victorian studies.

This volume is a direct revelation by Lord Maitreya, who was the master teacher in a mystery school known commonly as the Garden of Eden. Maitreya explains in great depth what caused the fall of man, which was truly a fall into a lower state of consciousness.

Scientology is one of the wealthiest and most powerful new religions to emerge in the past century. To its detractors, L. Ron Hubbard's space-age mysticism is a moneymaking scam and sinister brainwashing cult. But to its adherents, it is humanity's brightest hope. Few religious movements have been subject to public scrutiny like Scientology, yet much of what is written about the church is sensationalist and inaccurate. Here for the first time is the story of Scientology's protracted and turbulent journey to recognition as a religion in the postwar American landscape.

Hugh Urban tells the real story of Scientology from its cold war-era beginnings in the 1950s to its prominence today as the religion of Hollywood's celebrity elite. Urban paints a vivid portrait of Hubbard, the enigmatic founder who once commanded his own private fleet and an intelligence apparatus rivaling that of the U.S. government. One FBI agent described him as "a mental case," but to his followers he is the man who "solved the riddle of the human mind." Urban details Scientology's decades-long war with the IRS, which ended with the church winning tax-exempt status as a religion; the rancorous cult wars of the 1970s and 1980s; as well as the latest challenges confronting Scientology, from attacks by the Internet group Anonymous to the church's efforts to suppress the online dissemination of its esoteric teachings.

"The Church of Scientology" demonstrates how Scientology has reflected the broader anxieties and obsessions of postwar America, and raises profound questions about how religion is defined and who gets to define it.

When The Flying Cow was first published in 1975, it revealed a world of psychic wonders in Brazil hitherto barely explored by outsiders. Author Guy Lyon Playfair had spent two years as a member of the Brazilian Institute for Psychobiophysical Research (IBPP), the first group of its kind to investigate and document the wide range of inexplicable phenomena - from poltergeists and psychic surgeons to trance artists and children who recall previous lives. He spent several days and nights in a poltergeist-haunted house, managing to record several inexplicable happenings on tape. He watched as a young man untrained in art dashed off a series of portraits in the styles of numerous deceased masters, some in a matter of seconds. He witnessed some of the country's unorthodox healers at work, and saw them open bodies with their bare hands, eventually finding out for himself how it feels to be on the receiving end of this most bizarre form of alternative surgery. He also looked into some of the best known cases from the past, collecting new eye-witness evidence for the mysterious abilities of such legendary figures as Arigo, the 'surgeon of the rusty knife', colourful and controversial mediums such as Carlos Mirabelli, Peixotinho and Otilia Diogo. He even obtained an account of the rarest of all psychic phenomena - materialisation - from a chief of police. The Flying Cow was followed by its sequel The Indefinite Boundary in 1976. Material from the latter has been included in this edition, making it the most comprehensive survey available of the paranormal world of Brazil. The author gave up a secure and lucrative career as freelance journalist and translator to explore that world, and in this book, fully revised and updated, he describes what he found there. Much of it is as surprising today as it was when it was first published.

Each of us is made of the same "stuff," yet we continuously see each other and the world around us as dissimilar and separate. It's important to see ourselves as part of a greater entity. In "Wholarian Vision, " author Katrina Mayer presents a new way of seeing the world and bringing it together. With prose, stories, and poems interspersed, Mayer introduces the Wholarian vision-a process of being connected to all things and to all people in order to see others without prejudice or bias. "Wholarian Vision" introduces and explains this new concept and describes how it affects the mind, body, and spirit. It discusses both the Wholarian world and the relationships within it. With the goal of bringing the world together through a global perspective, "Wholarian Vision" shows how we all originate from one and we will always be part of one. Our actions, our choices, our lives, and our voices are the message of one heart, one world, and one love.

This report deals with the discovery of an ancient and secret system of workable magic, which, if we can learn to use it as did the native magicians of Polynesia and North Africa, bids fair to change the world ... provided the atom bomb does not make all further changes impossible.Union is strength, prosperity and safety. The High Beings ruling the ants and bees demonstrate this. Rugged individualism and disunion, as demonstrated by preying animals who eat other animals, and are in constant danger of being eaten, represent the stage of growth in which the hard lessons of life under Free Will must be learned. Following that stage comes the one which we have been missing so long; the stage in which the man returns to united and cooperative effort, still possessing his free will, but using it in the right relation to his fellows and their free will. And, above all, in the right relation to the High Selves from whence come both help and guidance.

Why am I here? What should I be doing? What happens when we pass away? Have you ever felt an invisible presence around you? These are some of the questions addressed in this book. In the Beginning...A Spiritualist's Bible presents the philosophy of Spiritualism through the wisdom and insightful awareness of the patriarch of the Chapel of Awareness Spiritual Church, Reverend Eugene C. Larr. Rev. Larr was a Renaissance Man. Following his naval service in WW II, he began the practice of Buddhism in Hawaii. In college, he majored in the sciences and began his study of spiritualism under the guidance of Rev. Jean Bradley, a master clairvoyant, clairaudient and trance medium. Rev. Bradley was an African-American woman with a passion to teach others. These experiences led Rev. Larr to see clearly the golden thread of truth running through all religions. Rev. Larr's enlightened blending of Eastern and Western traditions into the golden thread is captured in this monograph. Teachings taken from his lectures and writings shared with students for more than thirty-five years are presented for the benefit and personal growth of all. Rev. Larr gifted these teachings to his long-time friend, Reverend Donald R. Schwartz, a talented healer and world-renowned artist. Rev. Schwartz compiled the many sources of these teachings and now shares Rev. Larr's teachings with the world through, In the Beginning...A Spiritualist's Bible.

'Taking up the challenge' is the story of one man's determination to find an answer to the question we will all ask at some time or another - Is there life after death? When Eric Hatton's much-loved brother was killed in1946, he was determined to embark on his own investigation. Thus began a quest for evidence which has so far spanned more than six decades. During that time Eric has become one of Spiritualism's best-known figures, respected for his transparent integrity and the level-headed approach he brings to the examination of evidence for survival beyond death. An accomplished speaker and broadcaster, Eric has shared a platform with many of the greatest mediums the Spiritualist movement has produced. Though his experiences of the next world - some of them breathtaking - have left him with a complete conviction of the reality of the afterlife, his career as a successful businesman has meant that his feet have always been planted firmly on the ground. Eric's extraordinary story is at times challenging and at others heartwarming. Above all, it is the startlingly honest and inspiring account of a man who had to find out the truth for himself.

THE GREAT QUESTION Since mankind came up out of savagery, the great problem has been: What is the ultimate end? What, if anything awaits on the other side of death's mysterious door? What happens when the hour strikes that closes man's earth career, when, leaving all the gathered wealth of lands and goods, he goes out into the dark alone? Is death the end--annihilation and repose? Or, does he wake in some other sphere or condition, retaining personality? Each must solve this great question for himself. Edward C. Randall. (1860-1935) - A prominent New York trial lawyer from Buffalo who served on the board of directors of a number of large corporations, Randall became interested in Spiritualism around 1890 following his attendance at a seance. Soon afterwards he established a 'Rescue Circle' in order to help 'earthbound' spirits progress. The circle comprising of Randall's wife and some close associates including a prominent judge Dean Stuart of Rochester, sat every week for over 20 years at the Randall family home. Soon after the sittings began Randall met Emily French, a 'direct voice' medium in her 60's, also from Buffalo. Emily was from a well-known family, and had a reputation in her community as a person of integrity; she sat with the Randall's circle for many years until she passed away in 1912. During the long and dedicated relationship she never charged a cent for her time. In 1905 Randall wrote to Isaac K. Funk, a prominent psychic researcher and co-owner of the publishing house Funk and Wagnalls of New York & London, asking him to arrange for Emily French to be scientifically tested. Dr Funk agreed on condition that Mrs French would come to New York City and conduct sittings every day for two weeks in the homes of people she did not know surrounded by highly experienced and skeptical observers. Then 72 years old and not in good health, Emily sat with Dr Funk night after night with barely any time to rest after the journey from her home in Buffalo. Funk and his associates conducted tests that proved the voices did not originate in the vocal organs of the medium. Her Indian control "Red Jacket" had a loud masculine voice that would have easily filled a hall with a seating capacity of 2000 people. The medium at that time was a frail old woman with a weak heart and was deaf, yet the sitters could hear every remark of the communicators. Night after night she produced magnificent direct voice phenomena as spirits communicated and told of their experiences of the afterlife. Dr Funk published the full results of these detailed tests in his book, The Psychic Riddle.A" Randall and French sat together more than 700 times and he stated, Hundreds, yea thousands [of spirits], have come and talked with me, and to many whom I have invited to participate in the work - thousands of different voices with different tones, different thoughts, different personalities, no two alike; and at times in different languages. Edward Randall's books documenting his experiences with Emily French include 'Frontiers of the Afterlife' and 'The Dead Have Never Died'

Choosing God: A Birds Eye View of A Course in Miracles by Charles L Whitfield, MD While summarizing the main messages of A Course in Miracles with remarkable clarity, in this new book Charles Whitfield goes well beyond the other books on the Course. Here the best-selling author of Healing the Child Within and nine other self-help and recovery oriented books, draws upon his vast clinical experience assisting people with addictions, "mental illnesses," and other problems in living. He does so by correlating the simple yet profound teachings of this modern holy book with the reader's current personal and relationship problems and recovery needs. Dr. Whitfield writes, "A Course in Miracles is the most spiritually exciting book I have ever read. I have found no other spiritual writing as intellectually stimulating yet so practical in our relationships with ourself, others and God. "Do you want peace or pain? If you want peace, the Course suggests, Choose God. It's that simple. What is not so simple is knowing exactly why, when and how to choose God. "In this book I give you a reader friendly summary of what I and selected other writers believe to be the most important spiritual psychology in the Course." In this new Second Printing edition we have corrected the six minor tyopgraphical errors that were in the first printing. If you bought a copy of the first printing and would like a summary of these errors, please email me requesting them at [email protected]
