THE BOOK OF ST. CYPRIAN: THE SORCERER'S TREASURE is a translation of one of the most complete Portuguese grimoires attributed to St. Cyprian of Antioch, O GRANDE LIVRO DE S.CYPRIANO OU THESOURO DO FEITICEIRO, including extensive commentaries on the history of Western Iberian Bruxaria and Feiticaria, Catholicism, the blood war of Old and New Christians, the slave trade, and the Empire. The Book of Saint Cyprian is revealed as a manifestation of vaster and pre-existent magical and folkloric traditions and is inserted into its proper cultural background, providing the reader with the keys to its unwritten content including the Book's connection to the vast mythical corpus of the Mouras Encantadas. THE BOOK OF ST. CYPRIAN: THE SORCERER'S TREASURE is an essential read for all those interested in folk magic, be it diabolical or saintly, fey traditions, the largely unknown West Iberian magical current and its various traces and manifestations in the modern Ibero-African-American cults of Brazil."

Ren Gunon (1886-1951) is undoubtedly one of the luminaries of the twentieth century, whose critique of the modern world has stood fast against the shifting sands of recent philosophies. His oeuvre of 26 volumes is providential for the modern seeker: pointing ceaselessly to the perennial wisdom found in past cultures ranging from the Shamanistic to the Indian and Chinese, the Hellenic and Judaic, the Christian and Islamic, and including also Alchemy, Hermeticism, and other esoteric currents, at the same time it directs the reader to the deepest level of religious praxis, emphasizing the need for affiliation with a revealed tradition even while acknowledging the final identity of all spiritual paths as they approach the summit of spiritual realization. The present volume, first published in 1958 by Gunon's friend and collaborator Paul Chacornac, whose bookstore, journal (first called Le Voile d'Isis, later changed to tudes Traditionnelles), and publishing venture-ditions Traditionnelles-were so instrumental in furthering Gunon's work, was the first full-length biography of this extraordinary man to appear, and has served as the foundation for the many later biographies that have appeared in French, as well as the lone biography in English, Ren Gunon and the Future of the West, by Robin Waterfield. Its translation and publication in conjunction with The Collected Works of Ren Gunon represents an important step in the effort to bring Gunon's oeuvre before a wider public.

What if there was a place in the universe, or in another universe, where no evil forces, dark beliefs, negative thought projections, energy blockages, or control issues were present? Is there a place such as an intact field of light, benevolence, and love? In "The Book of Origins, " author Ivonne Delaflor presents lessons she received that propose a new vision of a universe, in which harmony is seen not as something to fight for, but as a natural ebb and flow of events through the choices we make. Throughout a period of five years, Delaflor received more than five thousand messages during conversations with her transpersonal masters. In this text, she does not interpret the lessons but rather shares them in order to help people form better relationships with their inner voices and make sense of their spiritual experiences. A clear and readable map for navigating the harmonic energy dimensions, "The Book of Origins" supports humanity within the inner ascension process as we evolve as species of consciousness in the here and now and beyond.

Nadia Finley offers a lifestyle program that is practical and easy to understand. Based on her own life experiences, Finley developed the "Project Elinor" program for those dealing with personal hardship, and for any one of us who simply want to lead healthier, happier lives.

In this book, Finley guides readers through pathways to emotional, spiritual, and physical well-being. By sharing her moving story about the loss of her mother, Finley provides unique perspectives to overcome any of life's obstacles, accompanied by a series of practical exercises to help you through the process. You will understand how to separate the mind from the body when coping with negative experiences and learn strategies for gaining control of the mind when things are at their worst. Essentially, you will learn how to "live" life - as opposed to being "victim"ized by it.

In order to refer to the manner of life's difficulties in a clear and simple way, Finley conceptualizes these hardships as "Illnesses', "demonstrating how these experiences can negatively affect your overall well-being. Therefore, in this book, the term "Illness'" is not necessarily linked to a physical sickness, but rather it is connected to your personal struggle with any of the following: the loss of a loved one; loss of a job; loss of self-esteem or self-identity; the breakdown of a marriage or relationship; or a drastic change in your financial status. You determine what your "Illness" is. To put it simply, our "Illnesses" are our most profound negative life experiences, the kinds of experiences that each of us must contend with at one point or another. This book offers the tools needed for optimizing every experience and opportunity that life will provide, despite the negative circumstances that any of us fear to face and overcome at the present time.

We suffer from the most insidious kind of addiction
one we don t even realize we have.
It is the addiction to power itself.

The Way of Powerlessness by Wayne Liquorman, brings together the Living Teaching of Advaita and the 12 Steps of Recovery.

Central to both disciplines is the recognition of our complete personal powerlessness.

When we recognize personal powerlessness in our own actions, the twin burdens of pride and guilt vanish. When we recognize powerlessness in the actions of others, we are freed from the poisoning effects of resentment and hatred. Relieved of pride, guilt, resentment and hatred we live comfortably with life as it comes, in true humility and peace.

The Way of Powerlessness reveals that recognizing our personal powerlessness is the unguarded secret to harmonious living and ultimate Freedom.

Wayne s loving heart acknowledges the suffering of our human condition and nurtures the possibility for another way of being.

Ryan Spielman, Lucid Living

Fresh, vibrant and dead on
If you think you have power, use it to read this book

Bill C. HTML Author description The Way of Powerlessness (hardcover and softcover)

Wayne Liquorman (b. 1951) describes himself as being "completely ordinary."

He grew up in the suburbs of Los Angeles and then attended the University of Hawaii where he graduated with a BA in Creative Writing. He then returned to Southern California, married, fathered two children and started an import/export business.

A nineteen-year bout with active alcoholism and drug addiction ended spontaneously in 1985 leaving him sober and a spiritual seeker. His goal became to determine, "what power in the Universe could transform me so suddenly and against my will." After 16 months of daily involvement with the Twelve Steps and intensive spiritual seeking, he met his guru, the retired president of the Bank of India turned Advaitic Sage, Ramesh S. Balsekar. He soon began publishing Ramesh's books and arranging Ramesh's speaking tours. Spiritual Awakening occurred for Wayne in April of 1989, soon after which he wrote the book NO WAY for the Spiritually Advanced. He published the book under the pen name Ram Tzu because he didn't want "a bunch of miserable seekers cluttering up my living room."

Clearly, life had other plans for him. In 1996 Ramesh instructed Wayne to teach. When Wayne tried to convince Ramesh he was not suited to be a teacher, Ramesh answered his objections with the simple words, "if they come, talk to them " People began coming and Wayne now spends half of each year traveling the world, talking about personal powerlessness and Advaita to groups of interested people (and often has a bunch of spiritual seekers cluttering up his living room when he is not traveling ) His Living Teaching and his powerful presence continue to touch the lives of many.

This is his fifth book.

It is said the greatest love is that which exists between a student and his spiritual teacher. In a bond through study, their hearts and consciousness are awakened. As these two souls travel on a path toward convergence, they carry the lineage of previous masters and ignite the way for future generations of students. This book is a rare glimpse of the relationship between Kabbalist Rav Brandwein and his beloved student Rav Berg, the present leader of the Kabbalah Centre. These 60 letters provide deep insights into the loving spiritual lessons taught by Rav Brandwein. As their involvement goes beyond spiritual studies to all aspects of the practical material world, we discover Rav Brandwein was connected with Rav Berg with all his soul and might. The letters are presented without the filter of interpretation, allowing readers to leave with answers -- and more questions -- and a yearning for greater wisdom.

"The guides, when they come, should bring great feelings of love. This is the true indication that a high guide is present; there are few else...The guides can only come in the space between two thoughts - in that space between the in-breath and the out-breath, that space that is the quiet pool or reservoir of the deep wisdom within." - IAM IAM represents the wisdom in each of us, and is a true teacher and friend. Written from a whole-brain perspective, The Space Between Two Thoughts is profound and accessible to individuals of all faiths and paths. With humor and compassion, this text weaves over 70 healing transmissions with commentary, dialogue, and easy to use Armchair Enlightenment exercises, demonstrating that the spiritual and material planes are not separate. What people are saying about IAM: "IAM's advice and exercises have been very useful for my personal growth and mental well-being." "IAM has made me realize that there truly is a higher power, and it cares very much about every aspect of our lives, no matter how small." "IAM tells us things about ourselves that are really helpful and transformative in a way that no one else would know. It gives us the clues or guideposts to help us transform and evolve." A realization that I gained from IAM was the importance of each person, each animal, every plant, every action, every moment. We are all interconnected."

This is a true story with no embellishments whatsoever about a woman coming out of the Occult and its bondages into the immense glory of a Risen, Resurrected Lord. She had been involved in astrology and could easily make selection of what your Zodiac (Divining Angel) is by a mere short conversation. When coming to the Lord Jesus Christ, Anna believed her life would be so very quiet and simple, until one day after much darkness physically overpowered her, the Holy Spirit spoke: The Powers of Darkness have arrayed themselves in battle against you." Anna was in for the time of her life and God's Holy Spirit teaches her how to war in and for His Kingdom. Take this journey with Anna as the difference between True and Truth are defined throughout these pages. The 'Two Bibles' are clearly demonstrated to reveal what is 'Divining Lies against Diving Truth'.

Ren Gunon (1886-1951) was one of the great luminaries of the twentieth century, whose critique of the modern world has stood fast against the shifting sands of intellectual fashion. His extensive writings, now finally available in English, are a providential treasure-trove for the modern seeker: while pointing ceaselessly to the perennial wisdom found in past cultures ranging from the Shamanistic to the Indian and Chinese, the Hellenic and Judaic, the Christian and Islamic, and including also Alchemy, Hermeticism, and other esoteric currents, they direct the reader also to the deepest level of religious praxis, emphasizing the need for affiliation with a revealed tradition even while acknowledging the final identity of all spiritual paths as they approach the summit of spiritual realization. Studies in Freemasonry and the Compagnonnage is both an attempt to rediscover the lost roots of Masonry and a fascinating look into the many controversies swirling around the subject of Masonry in serious intellectual circles during the first half of the twentieth century. It must also be classed, along with Symbols of Sacred Science, Spiritual Authority and Temporal Power, Traditional Forms and Cosmic Cycles, The Esoterism of Dante, Insights into Christian Esoterism and Insights into Islamic Esoterism and Taoism-not to mention related sections in many of his other books-as one of Ren Gunon's masterful excursions into esoteric myth, symbolism, and secret history. Freemasonry may indeed be, as Gunon ultimately concluded, a largely degenerated and thus no longer strictly 'operative' offshoot of a true initiatory lineage; yet its symbolism, like that of the original Rosicrucians, remains profound, traditional, and therefore ultimately legitimate. And given that the 'Spirit bloweth where it listeth', it is always possible that symbolism of this order may awaken in a receptive soul intimations of the Truth and the Way, which can be of inestimable of value in 'the path to the Path', the quest for a living initiatory spirituality.

How does a Vampire Cult differ from a Satanic Cult? How do seemingly "normal" or "ordinary" citizens suddenly find themselves committed to a group whose leader promotes criminal activities and isolation from families and friends? What should you do if a loved one becomes indoctrinated by a potentially dangerous cult? This book focuses on various cults and their often criminal belief systems. Most readers are shocked by stories of mass suicides and ritualized cult killings, but few understand how such crimes come to be committed. Snow, a seasoned police officer with experience working on cult crimes, examines those cults that commit offenses from murder and fraud to kidnapping and sexual assault. By providing specific accounts of dangerous cults and their destructive acts, Snow illustrates how seemingly innocent groups can turn pernicious when under the sway of a charismatic leader with an agenda, or when members take things too far. He offers advice on how to avoid falling victim to cult indoctrination, concluding with chapters on how to identify cults, how to protect yourself and your family, and what to do if a loved one is ensnared by such a group.
