Since the advent of flight and the infancy of the space program,
there have been numerous accounts of UFOs and alien beings. But
what about ancient times? Did people observe mysterious objects in
the skies prior to the invention of the airplane? Did they speak of
mysterious, intelligent creatures from the stars? The answer is
"Yes." Since the earliest days of human history, UFOs and their
occupants have been witnessed and recorded in detail. These
accounts can be found in the writings of Assyria, Babylon, and
ancient Egypt; in the Old Testament and apocryphal texts; in the
ancient Sanskrit texts of India; in the literature and "legends" of
Rome, Norway, Ireland; and in the oral traditions of many tribal
cultures around the world, including those of Africa, the Hawaiian
Islands, the Easter Islands, and the Americas. Humanity: The Alien
Project examines ancient tablets, codices, hieroglyphs,
manuscripts, scrolls, and oral traditions that describe alien
encounters throughout history. These accounts span centuries,
cultures and continents, but they all share the same central theme:
the origins of man as it relates to the history of the "gods" and
ancient UFO sightings. Author Vincenzo Macrino presents astonishing
evidence that our ancestors not only observed strange objects in
the skies, but at one time had a close, personal, face-to-face
relationship with their occupants, and that in truth, we owe our
very existence to the "gods" of the ancient world. In modern times,
alien encounters have largely been covered up by media and the
military or debunked as "conspiracy theories" or fiction. However,
this fascinating investigation of thousands of years' worth of
literature and artwork shows that such encounters occurred long
before anyone had a desire to cover them up; instead, they recorded
these encounters so that mankind would remember them. Are our
ancestors really extraterrestrials? The wealth of evidence
presented in this work invites you to investigate this theory.
2013 Reprint of 1959 Edition. Exact facsimile of the original
edition, not reproduced with Optical Recognition Software. Eliphas
Levi (1810-1875), born Alphonse Louis Constant, was a sage, poet
and author of over twenty esoteric books. He began writing at 22
years of age and was imprisoned twice for the critical nature of
his work. Eliphas Levi was steeped in the Western occult tradition
and a master of the Rosicrucian interpretation of the Qabalah,
which forms the basis of magic as practiced in the West today. The
"Key of the Mysteries" represents the culmination of Levi's
thoughts and is written with subtle and delicate irony. It reveals
the mysteries of religion and the secrets of the Qabalah, providing
a sketch of the prophetic theology of numbers. The mysteries of
nature, such as spiritualism and fluidic phantoms, are explored.
Magical mysteries, the Theory of the Will with its 22 axioms are
divulged. And finally it offers "the great practical secrets." The
true greatness of this work, however, lies in its ability to place
occult thought firmly in Western religious traditions. For Levi,
the study of the occult was the study of a divine science, the
mathematics of God.

The well-known phrase 'Beam me up Scotty' from Star Trek introduced
the public to the idea of Teleportation -- instantaneous transport
through time and space -- though the term was actually coined by
the world famous author of books on unexplained mysteries, the late
Charles Fort. Long thought to be the work of ever imaginative
writers, the author now takes the subject beyond the void of pure
speculation into the realm of 21st century science. For according
to the author -- a former military intelligence operative with
connections to the CIA and the defence department -- on a number of
occasions he witnessed the testing of 'highly classified', super
Top Secret 'black project' aircraft engaged in manoeuvres over Area
51 in the Nevada desert. What was so unusual about these over
flights is the fact that the technology being tested involved
principles of Teleportation gleamed from reverse engineering of
alien spacecraft which have crashed on earth. The author maintains
that extraterrestrials have been trying to feed us clues regarding
the existence of this stellar mode of transport which will enable
us to instantly manoeuvre between two points in the tinkling of an
eye.
2012 Reprint of 1936 Edition. Exact facsimile of the original
edition, not reproduced with Optical Recognition Software. After
arriving in the United States, Leedskalnin moved to Florida around
1919, where he purchased a small piece of land in Florida City.
Over the next 20 years, Leedskalnin putatively constructed and
lived within a massive coral monument he called "Rock Gate Park,"
dedicated to the girl who had left him years before. Working alone
at night, Leedskalnin eventually quarried and sculpted over 1,100
short tons of coral into a monument that would later be known as
the Coral Castle. Leedskalnin's is also well known for his theories
on magnetism, detailing his theories on the interaction of
electricity, magnetism and the body; Leedskalnin also included a
number of simple experiments to validate his theories. Most
importantly, Edward Leedskalnin claimed that all matter was being
acted upon by what he called "individual magnets" -- simply a
positive and a negative, as a battery. It is obvious from the
pamphlets that he produced that this theory became the base of all
of his work, and most likely thoughts as well. He also attempted to
claim that scientists of his time were looking in the wrong place
for their understanding of electricity, and that they were only
observing "one half of the whole concept" with "one sided tools of
measurement." In addition to all these studies, he found the time
to write this little booklet called "A Book in Every Home." Many
believe the answers to the questions surrounding Coral Castle lie
within. Indeed, every other page is BLANK; did he purposefully
leave room to interpret a code? Could all the answers to how this
amazing feat was accomplished lie buried in this "social
commentary"?
2011 Reprint of 1947 Edition. Full facsimile of the original
edition, not reproduced with Optical Recognition Software. This
book is a manual for the attainment of knowledge of higher, more
spiritual worlds. It opens new perspectives on the essential tasks
of life. Not everyone can immediately achieve spiritual vision, but
the discoveries of those who have it can be health-giving life
nourishment for everyone. This process is facilitated by this
manual. From 1899 until his death in 1925, Steiner articulated an
ongoing stream of experiences that he claimed were of the spiritual
world - experiences he said had touched him from an early age on.
Steiner aimed to apply his training in mathematics, science, and
philosophy to produce rigorous, verifiable presentations of those
experiences. Steiner believed that through freely chosen ethical
disciplines and meditative training, anyone could develop the
ability to experience the spiritual world, including the higher
nature of oneself and others. Steiner believed that such discipline
and training would help a person to become a more moral, creative
and free individual - free in the sense of being capable of actions
motivated solely by love.
IT WAS through Saint Germain's assistance that I was privileged to
have the experiences recorded in this series of books, and that
permission has been granted for them to be put in a form which can
be given to the public. No one can realize, unless he too has had
similar assistance, how great and eternal is my love and gratitude
to him and those other Ascended Masters, whose assistance I had.
Those, who accept the Truth herein recorded, will find a new and
powerful "Force" entering their lives. Each copy carries with it
this Mighty "Presence," Its Radiation, and Sustaining Power.

Harlan Ford was the first person to pour plaster castings of tracks
and report a sighting to the media of an unknown creature known
worldwide as the legendary Honey Island Swamp Monster. Harlan Ford
was my grandfather. While recently moving everything from the Ford
home after it was sold, we came across a letter that Harlan Ford
wrote in the 1970's about his encounter with the Honey Island Swamp
Monster. After Harlan Ford passed away in 1980, his story of the
Honey Island Swamp Monster has been told and retold by many people.
As we all know when things are retold so many times, certain
details change, get exaggerated, maybe by accident, maybe on
purpose. But luckily Ford's encounters were documented in his own
words in the letter. I have inserted Harlan Ford's actual letter in
this book for you to read. There are also recent eye-witness
encounters that are documented in this book.
Forensic pathologist Philippe Charlier - dubbed the "Indiana Jones
of the graveyards" - travels to Haiti where rumors claim that some
who die may return to life as zombies. Charlier investigates these
far-fetched stories and finds that, in Haiti, the dead are a part
of daily life. Families, fearing that loved ones may return from
the grave, urge pallbearers to take rambling routes to prevent the
recently departed from finding their way home from cemeteries.
Corpses are sometimes killed a second time...just to be safe. And a
person might spend their life preparing their funeral and grave to
ensure they will not become a wandering soul after death. But are
the stories true? Charlier's investigations lead him to Vodou
leader Max Beauvoir and other priests, who reveal how bodies can be
reanimated. In some cases, sorcerers lure the dead from their
graves and give them a potion concocted from Devil's Snare, a plant
more commonly known as Jimsonweed. Sometimes secret societies use
poudre zombi - "zombie powder" - spiked with the tetrodotoxin found
in blowfish. Charlier eagerly collects evidence, examining Vodou
dolls by X-ray, making sacrifices at rituals, and visiting
cemeteries under the cloak of night. Zombies follows Charlier's
journey to understand the fascinating and frightening world of
Haiti's living dead, inviting readers to believe the unbelievable.

early mentors of the New Thought Movement. As an author Trine has
far outsold other New Thought authors.
On 5 November William Cooper was shot to death by sheriff deputies
in Arizona, fulfilling his often stated wish to go out in a blaze
of glory. He was considered one of the most controversial men in
America. But who was Cooper? UFO expert? Conspiracy Theorist? Navy
Intelligence Operative? Controversial radio personality, and the
person the President once called the 'most dangerous man on
American airwaves'? Here is the inside story as told by the author
of such best sellers as Incredible Technologies of the New World
Order and Cosmic Patriot Files. Here -- collected together for the
first time -- are Cooper's thoughts and findings on such subjects
as: UFOs and the MJ12 Cover-Up; The New World Order; World Trade
Center; Freemasons and the JFK Assassination.
In "Subterranean Worlds Inside Earth," author Timothy Green Beckley
has collected many stories from a vast wealth of sources on the
subject of what is often called "The Inner Earth Theory." The
theory holds that the Earth does not consist of molten metal at its
core, as modern science tells us, but is instead quite hollow
inside, and supports several different races of sentient beings as
well as their impressive underground cities. Those cities are said
to be linked to one another by underground tunnels with
above-ground openings that the occasional surface-dwelling mortal
stumbles on to. Much of the information Beckley presents comes from
a man named Richard Shaver, a spot welder on the Detroit automobile
assembly lines who one day began to hear strange voices projected
at him as he went about his work. Following the trail that began
with that unearthly auditory experience, Shaver eventually came to
the conclusion that the voices were coming from somewhere beneath
the Earth, from a race of creatures he came to call the "Deros,"
which is short for "degenerate robots." The Deros have a story of
their own. They were once a gentle race who lived on the surface of
the Earth, until it became apparent that the sun was being
transformed in some way that caused an increase in the amount of a
form of dangerous radiation contained in its rays. Some of the
Deros escaped the planet by going into space in their
highly-developed spacecraft, but not all of them managed to do so.
Those forced to remain went underground and built the cities
referred to above, but the sun's poisonous radiation also caused
them to go insane and to develop cruel and sadistic personality
traits. It is because of their evil madness that mankind suffers so
much today, and Shaver himself experienced some bizarre
mistreatments as he sought to learn more about the mysterious
Deros. Shaver eventually published many of his Dero tales in a
magazine called "Amazing Stories," which were so popular that they
greatly increased the magazine's circulation. But Shaver's story of
the Deros is only one of many versions of exactly what is down
there in the Hollow Earth. Beckley also offers stories by
journalist John J. Robinson and others whose research has turned up
different legends and personal experiences, some of which tell of a
hidden paradise below our feet where beautiful, spiritually
benevolent creatures reside. Beckley's use of numerous and
divergent reports helps to paint a wonderfully complete picture of
the centuries of folklore that have become mingled with scientific
fact through real-world investigations into the "Subterranean
Worlds Inside Earth." Some of what's here stretches credibility a
little more than might be totally comfortable. But if you have an
appetite for unsolved mysteries that extend beyond the realm of the
safe and the knowable, then Beckley's thorough overview of what may
be inside the Hollow Earth is well worth the time spent reading it.

2011 Reprint of 1923 Edition. Full facsimile of the original
edition, not reproduced with Optical Recognition Software. The
author seeks to expose every conceivable type of human fad and
fraud. The subject matter is divided into five chapters: one each
for Fads, Fakes, Freaks, Frauds and Fools. Including the obvious
manias chronicled elsewhere, the author treats such exotic subjects
as "manufacturing Egyptian mummies," "gypsy charms," "the criminal
diploma," and many varieties of fools. An encyclopedia of the human
penchant for delusion and gullibility.
This short book on ancient 'Phallic worship', as the Victorians
called it, contains much which is covered in the other entries in
this literature. Jennings has a compelling thesis about the role of
sexuality in ancient religions and their modern successors which
bears careful examination. A tremendous and controversial
undertaking for its time, this book unearths some of the most
fascinating connections between the world of Christianity and
sexual imagery, adventure and exotica. Without missing a beat,
Rocco has seen to it that her readers are not only kept fascinated,
but that her own theories and precepts remain strong in the
reader's mind. It doesn't matter that her words reach out from a
past century. Their ring is clear and their message loud, even by
today's standards. Rocco moves from an intrinsic philosophy of the
cross and its shape and form in theoretical gendering, while
leaving no stone unturned in her discussions of the Triad and
Vocabulary of the ancients. This woman finds sex in every nook and
cranny of history, letting nothing stand in her way to complete
sexual discovery. Her writing style remains clear and easy to read,
while packed with the most interesting of facts, theories and
suggestions.
