We are not alone.And we never have been . . .
For years we've been taught that human progress has been a long,
slow climb from the primordial ooze to hunter-gatherers to empires.
But what if that's only part of the story?
Bestselling author and legendary conspiracy researcher Jim Marrs
takes on his biggest subject yet: the history of mankind. Our
Occulted History overturns conventional knowledge and beliefs,
presenting compelling evidence that the earth once hosted
prehistoric civilizations of nonhumans, using technologies that
very well may have surpassed our own. From the flying shields
reported by the Romans to the mysterious airships of the 1800s and
the UFOs of today, Marrs argues that someone other than us is still
present on this planet. But are these visitors simply observers--or
do they play a much more active and controlling role? Jim Marrs
raises this shocking question and more in the provocative and
persuasive Our Occulted History.
Authored by Nikola Tesla Consultant editor Timothy Green Beckley,
William Kern NIKOLA TESLA - A WIZARD OUT OF TIME THIS WORK IS FOR
THE SERIOUS COLLECTOR WHO WISH TO OWN RARE COPIES OF THIS "MIRACLE
MAN'S" MOST IMPORTANT PATENTS AND INVENTIONS During his lifetime
Nikola Tesla was issued several hundred patents from over 25
countries. And while chosen to share the 1912 Nobel Prize with
Thomas Edison, Tesla simply ripped up his royalty contracts, saying
goodbye to millions of dollars that he justifiably had coming to
him. To this date, Tesla is not mentioned in most textbooks and is
virtually unknown to most Americans, though the tide has been
turning in recent years. Tesla actually invented the first AC
electric motor, invented the radio (he proceeded Marconi by several
years), and the arc light, broadcast the first television signals,
and even created an earthquake that virtually rocked Manhattan. The
device which shook buildings and shattered windows for miles was an
apparatus so small it could be placed in a person's pocket. Later,
before his passing, Tesla stated that this device was so powerful
it could prevent another World War. The large sized, 8.5x11 volume
is richly illustrated and contains the patents that many claim have
been withheld from the public. Some technicians still don't know
what to make of a number of his inventions. Can you help crack any
hidden "codes" that may be found in his remaining research papers?
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.
We fear them...revere them...wish we could have them do our
bidding...They live in our dreams and haunt our nightmares Dragons
and Unicorns...the magical beasties recognized throughout the
world. The authors take us beyond folk lore and legend to an
invisible realm where such creatures are part of everyday
reality... DRAGONS: Few creatures of folklore and mythology conjure
up more sinister and magical images than the Dragon. Also known as
the firedrake, these mercurial creatures pervade almost every
pantheon of classic literature. Said to be larger than elephants,
they are generally accept as having bat-like wings, twin horns of
varying length, and a fiery breath that can destroy all that comes
in their path. UNICORNS: The word "unicorn" is based on the Hebrew
world re'em ("horn"), in early versions of the Old Testament
translated as "monokeros," meaning "one horn." The Unicorn is
mentioned in Greek literature, in India and throughout Europe. .
.The strange legends of the Dragon and the Unicorn persist to this
very day. Figment of the imagination? Misinterpretation of ordinary
creatures? Symbolic of a mystery occult school? Beautifully
illustrated, printed on quality paper, this large - 8x11 - format
book will peek your interest and keep you entertained for hours as
you travel around the world in the present and the past in search
of creatures thought to have been made of imagination; but which
probably has some basis in a physical reality.

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.
FEAR NOT 2012. . . THE WORST IS YET TO COME Join Sean Casteel and
Tim Beckley as they summarize the latest catastrophic data and
speculate along with Ignatus Donnelly as he searches for proof that
global chaos caused by cosmic influences have wreaked havoc upon
earth throughout the ages. FACT -- Ancient mythology recalls the
devastation of Earth by flood and fire eons ago. FACT -- The coming
of Planet X is thought by many to fulfill certain passages of
Biblical prophecy, which refer to an unknown space-faring body

there are "SKY ISLANDS" all around us in a parallel universe, and
that "Planet X" might be invisible to the human eye, yet still have
a tremendous pull on Earth. Over 250 large size pages. Dramatic
cover. Must reading for all fans of Charles Fort and Immanuel
Velikovsky.

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

American airwaves'? Here is the inside story as told by the author

Center; Freemasons and the JFK Assassination.
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.
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.

Investigations."
There is probably not an Oklahoman or a visitor to Oklahoma who
hasn't wondered about the meaning or origin of the names of many of
the cities and towns and other landmarks. Those names mirror the
46th state's diverse culture and unique history. They sing with the
beauty of American Indian languages, reflect the hope or earthy
humor of early settlers, or ring with the energy of entrepreneurs.
In some instances, the record documenting the birth of an Oklahoma
place name no longer exists - if it ever did. In others, the
"official" version varies from local legend - or is greatly
enlivened by it Respected Oklahoma author Jim Etter examines both
history and folklore - and that intriguing blend of both - in this
work that results from his years as a journalist whose work has
taken him to hundreds of Oklahoma communities where he talked with
- and listened to - thousands of Oklahomans. The result is a book
that is both informative and entertaining and quintessentially
Oklahoman - part fact, part fiction and bigger and better than
either.
