Joseph shares his experiences with the disease Guillain-Barre Syndrome (GBS) which twice (less than 1 in 1,000,000 chance of this) and very quickly, paralyzed him. He slowly healed. In the paralysis state, his mind was at a heightened level of awareness. Unable to do anything physical, he applied himself to understanding the vivid messages that became so present to him. He provides a chronicle of the GBS, but more, he provides a detailed account of the discoveries made available to him, explained in his own simple language. Up From Paralysis shares Joseph's journey of discovery of "how it all works" for him, and he suggests for us too, when it comes to listening to that tiny whisper of wisdom some call intuition, Spirit, Guidance from the "other side," which is actually "inside." Learn how to, through increased clarity, live a more successful life in all dimensions.

Every hand is the map of a life, revealing the past and the potential of the future. Both a science and an art, hand analysis can provide a key to assessing accurately an individual's physical and psychological nature.

Mir Bashir's classic work is renowned for its comprehensive exploration of the art of hand reading. The text carefully explores and explains the two methods of analysis: cheirognomy and cheiromancy.

Cheirognomy is the study of the shape of the hand, finger formations, nails, skin texture and the eight mounts of the hand. Cheiromancy is the interpretation of the lines and markings engraved on the palm's surface. Mir Bashir considers the seven major lines, as well as treating in detail the wealth of minor and unusual signs and marks.

This new edition of The Art of Hand Analysis contains over 400 illustrations, providing the reader with a visual encyclopaedia to accompany this authoritative text.

By combining careful analysis with experience and intuition, Mir Bashir demonstrates that divination through hand reading is neither superstition nor game, but a path to self-discovery and a wonderful way to satisfy age-old curiosity.

Paul Foster Case was an American occultist of the early 20th century and author of numerous books on occult tarot and Qabalah. Perhaps his greatest contributions to the field of occultism were the lessons he wrote for associate members of Builders of the Adytum. The Knowledge Lectures given to initiated members of the Chapters of the B.O.T.A. were equally profound, although the limited distribution has made them less well known. Case was early on attracted to the occult. While still a child he reported experiences that today are called lucid dreaming. He corresponded about these experiences with Rudyard Kipling who encouraged him as to the validity of his paranormal pursuits. In the year 1900, Case met the occultist Claude Bragdon while both were performing at a charity performance. Bragdon asked Case what he thought the origin of playing cards was. After pursuing the question in his father's library, Case discovered a link to tarot, called 'The Game of Man, ' thus began what would become Case's lifelong study of the tarot, and leading to the creation of the B.O.T.A. tarot deck, a "corrected" version of the Rider-Waite cards. Between 1905 and 1908 (aged 20-24), Case began practicing yoga, and in particular pranayama, from what published sources were available. His early experiences appear to have caused him some mental and emotional difficulties and left him with a lifelong concern that so called "occult" practice be done with proper guidance and training.

Rider-Waite Tarot has set the standard for hundreds of other tarot decks, which follow the archetypal images created by Pamela Colman Smith in 1909 under the direction of Arthur Edward Waite. This edition includes Smith's original hand-drawn titles.

"A unique feature of the Rider-Waite deck, and one of the principal reasons for its enduring popularity, is that all of the cards, including the Minor Arcana, depict full scenes with figures and symbols. Prior to the Rider-Waite Tarot, the pip cards of almost all tarot decks were marked only with the arrangement of the suit signs -- swords, wands, cups, and coins, or pentacles. The pictorial images on all the cards allow interpretations without the need to repeatedly consult explanatory text. The innovative Minor Arcana, and Pamela Colman Smith's ability to capture the subtleties of emotion and experience have made the Rider-Waite Tarot a model for the designs of many tarot packs." -- (from The Encyclopedia of Tarot, Volume III).

Rider-Waite Tarot was named one of the Top Ten Tarot Decks of All Time by Aeclectic Tarot.
