The end of the age is upon us. Soon the heavens will be shaken, and the battlefield of an ancient war will make its way to the earth. The fabric of time and space trembles full of fractures under the strain of warring battalions, yet we of earth sit in stillness, in a quiet sector of our universe, primarily unaware of the forces about to embark upon us. Through the thinning veil, both the darkness, and the light are penetrating. And while the world becomes subtly entrenched in clouds of darkness, speckled rays of prophetic light have been piercing through, fulfilling the prophecies of Joel 2:28-32. Over 20 years ago, one such ray of light struck me, an ordinary 12-year-old boy. In a vision, I saw an eagle whose countenance and power was unfathomable. Electricity pulsated throughout the feathers of His body, and while He glared at me with His glowing eyes, He stretched out His wings. A star of light formed between them, and struck me on my forehead. I am finally beginning to understand the knowledge that was imparted to me on that night so long ago...

Rav Berg constructs a blueprint for those of us who are searching for total understanding of the world around us. According to kabbalistic principles, events on the earthly plane manifest as a result of cosmic influence. There are forces that shape human condition and exert their control over our physical universe.

Tales and parables of the Torah are symbolic reflections of the inner metaphysical realm through which one can perceive the divine mysteries of the universe. "Navigating the Cosmos" offers a bridge between the earthly realm and the celestial realm. Rav Berg shows that the roots of most misfortune can be traced to cosmic danger zones. He offers a precise timetable of celestial conditions so we can approach positive energy intelligences of the universe and tap their power. Armed with this information, we can transcend the realm of chance, luck and indetermination. We are keyed into specific dates to use when undertaking a new venture such as opening a business, getting married, moving into a new home. Kabbalah can guide us through illusion to the all embracing reality that the most fundamental natural laws date back to the heavens and its origins.

In the public imagination Satanism is associated with bizarre rituals, perverse hedonistic lifestyles, heavy metal music, immature adolescents acting out, horror movies, and rumors of ritual abuse. But what are the facts behind the urban legends and the "moral panics" that periodically sweep the country regarding this countercultural phenomenon? This authoritative reference work gathers together scholarly studies of Satanism and original source material, focusing on two major aspects-organized religious Satanism and the Satanic Ritual Abuse hoax that was prevalent in the 1980s and early 1990s. The contributors first examine modern Satanism, a decentralized movement whose only coherence is based on certain themes that date back to the writings of Anton Szandor LaVey, especially his Satanic Bible. Among other factors, the authors discuss how the emergence of the Internet as a form of communication has created some coherence among disparate groups through cross-reference. Many articles are devoted to the Satanic Ritual Abuse scare, an erroneous belief in a vast underground network of Satanists who were abusing children. For years members of the law enforcement community and numerous therapists, encouraged by the hype of mass media, bought into this panic. Other topics include the role of the media in the perceptions of Satanism and Satanic Ritual Abuse, juvenile delinquency and Satanism, and police pursuit of satanic crime. The volume concludes with primary source material, including a report from the Ritual Abuse Task Force and selections from current Satanism groups. This objective reference work will be useful for professionals in many fields and members of the public interested in sorting out the facts from the myths surrounding this controversial subculture.

"It is not the time of the creation in itself that disturbs us, nor is it the so-called fall or the time when mankind wandered the world between light and darkness. What disturbs us is what we suspect transpired in the time before time." Magister Amarantus Sodalitas Sanctum Seth Classical Gnosticism points to a path, which is not a path, but rather a path between the paths. It is a story told at the strike of the thirteenth hour on the mystical dial of the wise; from a mental position between truth and falsehood, reality and dream, in a spiritual place that unites all things in a point without a centre. The tradition, to which this book refers is based on Biblical stories of creation, the nature of God, how man came to live on earth, and how we may recapture what humanity lost. This tradition has a systematic enquiring approach to redemption. It thus relies on our own understanding and our own experiences to grasp it. This is the path called Gnosticism; Sethian Gnosticism.

In this work, H. Spencer Lewis leads an investigation and discussion on the cyclical hidden forces which work to alter and affect our lives each day. Notable within the occult movement for his research and accounts of forces unknown, Lewis pioneered a system that explains much of the unusual events that beset both people and the world at large. Namely that a supreme and unending series of cycles permeate the universe, themselves influenced by cosmic forces acting beyond our planet and solar system. These forces span all manner of things; life and death, the creation of souls, and the very passage of time. Each of the phenomena for which the cyclical forces are responsible receive explanation. Lewis was fascinated by this background energy, and would even invent devices intended to detect and measure cosmic rays. This book also acts as a life guide; by observing, predicting and acting according to the cyclical phenomena in our lives, we may enjoy fortune, prosperity and harmony in everyday existence.
