Recent exciting discoveries by independent researchers have dramatically challenged our understanding of ancient Egypt, raising profound questions about our past. STARGATE CONSPIRACY exposes the most insidious & dangerous plan of our times. It involves intelligence agencies, politicians, bestselling writers, scientists & industrialists. The authors believe that this conspiracy, centred upon the eternal mysteries of ancient Egypt, targets & threatens us all. Tracing the identity of the groups involved, Lynn Picknett & Clive Prince argue that at the heart of this strange plan is the belief that the ancient Egyptian gods were-and are-real extraterrestrials, about to return through the 'stargate' between our world & theirs. They suggest that the US-funded excavations on the Giza plateau - officially denied, but for which the authors produce documented evidence - now appear to be the result of directives allegedly received through communication with beings of higher intelligence, who are instructing the conspirators to lay the foundations for great global changes. Provocative & stimulating, STARGATE CONSPIRACY is a book of and for the new millennium.

The Chemical Wedding of Christian Rosenkreutz, often looked upon as
the third Rosicrucian manifesto, has an entirely different tone
from the other Rosicrucian documents. Unlike the Rosicrucian
manifestoes, which address the transformation of society, The
Chemical Wedding is concerned with the inner transformation of the
soul. It is a deeply interior work, one which asks the reader to
step into its world of symbols and walk with Christian Rosenkreutz
along his path of transformation. Despite its importance as a key
text of the Western esoteric traditions, this is the first ever
contemporary English translation of The Chemical Wedding, made
especially for this edition by Joscelyn Godwin. Also included in
this edition is an introduction and commentary by Adam McLean,
which illuminates the transformative symbolism.
For many people, monsters are nothing more than myth, folklore and
legend combined. For others - and particularly those who have
encountered monstrous forms surfacing and emerging from shadowy
caves, from the dark waters of ancient lakes and from the vast
jungles and forests of our worlds - monsters are all too
terrifyingly real. Werewolves, Bigfoot, the Loch Ness Monster, the
Chupacabra, Mothman, the Abominable Snowman and sea serpents may
represent the most famous monsters, but they are not alone.

fascinated by the unknowable. Drawing on contemporary folklore,
unsolved mysteries, and unsettling phenomena from the dark corners
of the internet, this book celebrates the joy of asking questions
and the thrill of finding answers which stop you dead in your
tracks. Featuring a group of men who scared themselves to death,
Space's version of the Bermuda Triangle, a cat who can sniff out
the dying and the tale of Slender Man, the monster who stepped out
of Photoshop and into our nightmares, this fascinating book is a
catalogue of the extraordinary, the strange, the mysterious and the
downright creepy.

The famous Victoria ghost who appeared to a tour group listening to
her story, the little boy playing with a red ball in Nanaimo, the
phantom "helper" in a restaurant kitchen - these are among the true
stories in Robert Belyk's new Ghosts. Encounters with entities from
a different reality do occur in the rational, modern world; the
experiences collected here range from the colonial days to the year
2000. Many ghosts haunt private houses, but some are associated
with public places and buildings, such as Beacon Hill Park in
Victoria, the Vancouver General Hospital and the Qualicum Heritage
Inn on Vancouver Island. " Ghosts: True Tales of Eerie Encounters"
is an expanded and updated collection of stories, some of which
first appeared in "Ghosts: True Stories from British Columbia."
A look inside the hospitals, asylums, and sanatoriums in which
formal spectral residents refuse to move on. Hospitals are supposed
to be places of healing, places of birth, and places of hope. But
with all of the varying highs and lows that are experienced in
these buildings, is it any wonder when echoes linger indefinitely?
How about asylums, which house some of society’s worst offenders
and troubled inmates, or sanatoriums, places where the mentally and
physically ill find themselves trapped, even after death? Journey
inside the history of these macabre settings and learn about the
horrors from the past that live on in these frighteningly eerie
tales from Canada, the United States, and around the world.
For centuries, humans have experienced and explored strange
experiences perceived as supernatural or paranormal. In the 21st
century, reality television and the Internet boosted public
interest in ghosts, UFOs, mystery animals, and unusual phenomena
worldwide. By 2010, there were about 2000 self-formed amateur
research and investigation groups (ARIGs) in the US whose goals
were to "prove" paranormal activity existed or help others who have
experienced such events. The ghost hunters, Bigfoot chasers, and
UFO researchers were serious in their pursuit, calling themselves
professionals, using an array of equipment, and stating that their
methods were scientific. High regard for scientists and the
honorific use of science in American culture, coupled with the
public's lack of familiarity with scientific methods, created a
niche for self-styled paranormal experts to become locally and
nationally renowned, often assuming the scientist role without
having scientific training or credentials. This volume is a
fully-referenced, comprehensive and unique look at the history of
research into these paranormal topics by scientists and the
mission, methods, and ideas promoted by passionate amateurs.
'There is evidence to suggest that our world and everything in it -
from snowflakes to maple trees to falling stars and spinning
electrons - are only ghostly images, projections from a level of
reality literally beyond both space and time.' This is the
astonishing idea behind the holographic theory of the universe,
pioneered by two eminent thinkers: physicist David Bohm, a former
protege of Albert Einstein, and quantum physicist Karl Pribram. The
holographic theory of the universe encompasses consciousness and
reality as we know them, but can also explain such hitherto
unexplained phenomena as telepathy, out-of-body experiences and
even miraculous healing. In this remarkable book, Michael Talbot
reveals the extraordinary depth and power of the holographic theory
of the universe, illustrating how it makes sense of the entire
range of experiences within our universe - and in other universes
beyond our own.
The Pleiadian Workbook is a direct transmission from the Pleiadian
Emissaries of Light--Light beings from the Pleiades--who say it's
time now for spiritual growth, ascension, and healing. Through
Amorah Quan Yin, we are taught to open our "Ka Channels," which
pull energy from our multidimensional, holographic selves into our
physical bodies. These galactic healing techniques align us with
our divine selves, raise our vibratory rates, and rejuvenate and
balance our bodies, while accelerating spiritual evolution and
stimulating emotional healing.

collection to treasure.
Have you ever had your car keys or television remote control
inexplicably vanish from under your nose, only to reappear months
later in another part of the house for no evident reason? Most
would dismiss it as absent-mindedness, with perhaps a joking remark
about paranormal activity. Yet remarkable circumstances surrounding
many such accounts suggest that the mysterious disappearance of
objects could be more than ""just one of those things."" Examining
a large selection of fascinating narratives, this book investigates
the ""disappearing object phenomenon from a scientific standpoint.
Both skeptical and supportive perspectives on DOP are considered,
leading to the conclusion that ""objects behaving badly"" are
subtle indicators of a controversial take on the nature of reality.
