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.

"New Thought" adherents at the turn of the 20th century vehemently
believed in the concept of "mind over matter," and one of the most
influential thinkers of this early "New Age" philosophy offers

extraordinary ability we all have deep within our minds: the power
of Mental Influence. You'll learn about: the vibratory force of

the first thing occult authorities teach their pupils the alluring
sway of Fascination and more.American writer WILLIAM WALKER
ATKINSON (1862-1932) was editor of the popular magazine New Thought
from 1901 to 1905 and editor of the journal Advanced Thought from
1916 to 1919. He authored dozens of New Thought books under

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.
