International therapists and teachers share their insights and
experience, showing how their work has been influenced and guided
by the vision of the enlightened mystic Osho. This book is a
journey through a kaleidoscope of different therapeutic methods
aligned around the essential importance of meditation and love for
healing and spiritual development.
The Book of Baruch is a Bible pseudepigrapha; a deuterocanonical
work attributed to Baruch ben Neriah, the scribe of the prophet
Jeremiah. The Assumption of Moses is a Jewish apocryphal work
concerning hidden prophecies that Moses revealed to Joshua prior to
the latter inheriting his leadership of the ancient Jews. Together
these works constitute typical examples of popular Biblical texts
which are extra-canonical; most Christian and Jewish groups do not
regard their contents as true. Their origins are definitively
proven to be several centuries after the time they purport to be
from. However, theological scholars have expressed some interest,
particularly given the time and context of the writing; being as
these pseudepigrapha are old texts, they themselves carry value.
This edition contains a lengthy, explanatory introduction by W. O.
E. Oesterley, and the well-regarded translations of Bible scholars
R. H. Charles (for Baruch) and William John Ferrar (for Moses).
The Book of Black Magic is Arthur Edward Waite's magnum opus of
occult lore; this edition contains the author's original icons,
symbols, seals and illustrations. The first part is entitled ""The
Literature of Ceremonial Magic."" Here, Waite examines the
ritualistic traditions which have surrounded the occult movement
for centuries. He notes various texts, and how they each had a
bearing upon the practice of the occult; of magical ceremony; and
the phenomena of spirit summoning. The second part, ""The Complete
Grimoire,"" concerns how those who practice black magic and occult
ritual become versed in the craft. The stringent physical and
mental requirements, and the need to practice a spiritual
attunement and inner ablution, is detailed. Astronomical knowledge
of the planets and their movements is a necessity, as is possession
of a variety of instruments, plus a deep knowledge of the various
symbols and scripts used in the occult craft.
