0n September 1, 1994, I flew to Israel and met in Jerusalem with a close friend of Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin, the poet Chaim Guri. I gave him a letter which he immediately gave to the Prime Minister.

"An Israeli mathematician has discovered a hidden code in the Bible that appears to reveal the details of events that took place thousands of years after the Bible was written," my letter to Rabin stated.

"The reason I'm telling you about this is that the only time your full name Yitzhak Rabin is encoded in the Bible, the words 'assassin that will assassinate' cross your name."

On November 4, 1995, came the awful confirmation, a shot in the back from a man who believed he was on a mission from God, the murder that was encoded in the Bible three thousand years ago.

The I Ching (pronounced ee-ching) is the oldest and most respected oracle or divinatory system in the world. There are currently two translations available which offer somewhat conflicting interpretations - the popular Confucian version and an earlier Taoist version called Zhouyi. Reconstructed by twentieth-century scholars and archaeologists, Zhouyi presents the highly imaginative world of myth and ritual that is the hidden base of thousands of years of Eastern thought. Now, for the first time ever, Stephen Karcher fuses these two traditions using modern scholarship and archaeological and linguistic research, along with a wide background in Eastern philosophy and comparative religion, and presents them to the modern Western reader in a comprehensive and accessible new form. TOTAL I CHING is a complete oracle with instruction for immediate use in all life situations, but is also the first translation to detail the mythology of the divinatory system, offering a revolutionary new approach to the world's oldest wisdom tradition.

George Combe (1788 1858) rose from humble origins to tour widely in Europe and the United States, lecturing on phrenology, the popular Victorian belief that character traits were determined by the configuration of the skull. He founded Britain's first Phrenological Society in 1820 in Edinburgh, and was considered the foremost phrenologist of the nineteenth century. These volumes, first published in 1841, contain Combe's account of a phrenological lecture tour he undertook in the United States between 1838 and 1840. In the form of a journal, Combe describes the social and political institutions of the United States, and provides vivid descriptions of American society and customs. He also provides accounts of phrenological practice and the lectures he presented. These volumes provide a wealth of information on nineteenth-century society in America, and invaluable details concerning the practice of phrenology. Volume 1 covers his stay in New York and New England.

Date Selection practitioners, specialists, and students will finally breathe a sigh of relief when they encounter this compendium! Compiling and streamlining all the information from important classical Date Selection sources such as The Tome of Heaven and Earth (Qian Kun Bao Dian), The Heavenly Precious Calendar (Tian Bao Li) and most significantly of all, The Book of Unifying Times and Discerning Dimensions (Xie Ji Bian Fang Shu), this book will make Date Selection research and study that much easier. An integral and important part of Chinese Metaphysics, Date Selection has largely been overlooked in importance due to the vast amount of resources available on the subject. The compendium attempts to summarise and unify all this information in a clear and understandable format and presents it within organised, systematic tables and charts. This is the first reference book of its kind to attempt to tabulate all the Stars relating to all the Jia Zi (Year Pillar), specifically the Directional Stars, Location-based Stars, and the Year-Based Stars (Positional Stars). Its benefits are multi-purpose and varied, and can be applied to all systems of Feng Shui (including San He, San Yuan, Xuan Kong), all systems of BaZi (Four Pillars of Destiny) including the Shen Sha systems and structural systems, Purple Star Astrology, and many other forms of Chinese Metaphysics. The highlight of this vast and comprehensive compendium is that you'll be able to refer to every Star that is associated with a particular Jia Zi (Year Pillar), and hence have at your fingertips the 60 Jia Zi Annual Stars. Some of these include: Annual Positive Stars for every Jia Zi (Year Pillar); Annual Negative Stars for every Jia Zi (Year Pillar); Annual San Yuan Purple White Stars; Monthly Purple White Stars; Mountain Covering Yellow Path Stars; Heaven Penetrating Force Stars; Qi Men Three Nobles Stars; Plenty more, including the 12-Month Auxiliary Stars Reference Table.

The ancient Chinese wisdom of emperor Fu Hsi's I Ching or The Book of Changes has served as a guide to human behaviour for millennia. Pondering the highly visual images imparted in the hexagrams of the I Ching, the seeker finds complex responses to questions or situations imbedded in the multiple layers of images that must be deciphered and applied to one's individual circumstances. Among the I Ching's remarkable qualities is its capacity to speak universally through lyrical allegories of the natural and human worlds. Photographers and collaborators Janet Russek and David Scheinbaum have long been students of the I Ching. As landscape photographers accustomed to the teachings of the natural world, the relationship between their work as visual artists and their personal experiences working with the I Ching naturally led them to create this visual companion to the hexagrams. Their photographic interpretation of the Chinese Oracle -- featuring sixty-four duotone landscape portraits paired with text from the I Ching -- offers an additional metaphorical dimension to consultations with the book.

A practical guide to the fascinating art of reading hands. Cheiromancy is the art of handreading in which all aspects of a person's hand are considered in order to gain an accurate picture of their inner nature, distinct from the fortune telling of palmistry. What has come down to us as palmistry today is a rather degenerate and effete form of the ancient discipline of chiromancy. The word cheiromancy comes from the Greek chir meaning 'hand', and manteia meaning 'divination', literally meaning 'divination through the hand'.  The Hand Reveals is not merely theoretical: at various points throughout the book readers are encouraged to try and apply this knowledge at every opportunity to find confirmation of the ideas. There is a considerable amount of knowledge and information compressed into these pages, and even the most diligent student would have difficulty in digesting it in one reading. It is recommended that you refer back as often as necessary to go the material you have read, to allow your understanding of cheiromancy to grow gradually. Originally published in 1993, this edition has been revised and updated with new material.
