Originally published in 1920. Author: Joseph McCabe Language: English Keywords: Philosophy Many of the earliest books, particularly those dating back to the 1900s and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. Obscure Press are republishing these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions, using the original text and artwork.

Lust isn't the only driving force behind this book--also factoring in are rage, regret, humiliation, longing, affection, and an appreciation of the folly of existence--but it plays the biggest role. In largely rhyming, rythmic verse, the author narrates a series of erotic vignettes that, while arousing, are always more than a little literary. And his forays into other subject matter sometimes even get serious. Each poem features an illustrated cover page; much of the artwork is original and is itself worth much more than a passing glance.

Internationally acclaimed and Pulitzer Prize nominated author Michael A. Allen, takes you on a journey into the recesses of your soul and explores the ontological question, "What is our underlying essence?" Mr. Allen uses the metaphor of the sea, and its ebb and flow, to describe the Tao of life's cycle.

His long time interest in film brought him to write the screenplay adaptation with his brother in law Alex Carig in order to make "Tao of Surfing" into a full-length feature motion picture. Mr. Allen was initially inspired to write "Tao of Surfing" after his brother-his surfing partner-died from the complication of AIDS.

Genitalogy Most great civilizations cultivate honored traditions which provide tools to help people understand themselves, each other, and an unpredictable world. These often insightful teachings invite us to look at the stars (Astrology), our eyes (Iridology), our hands (Palmistry), the space around us (Aurus), magical cards (Tarot decks), Yarrow sticks (the I-Ching), tea leaves, Ouija boards, and today's favorite, Science, to help us explain our lives - past, present, and future.

It's striking that, with rich and vast diversity, none of these traditions explore genitalia as a key to understanding the mysteries of life, especially when it comes to love. Why have almost all cultures ignored what is, perhaps, the most intimate part of our own bodies - our genitals?

Carlos Castaneda takes the reader into the very heart of sorcery, challenging both imagination and reason, shaking the very foundations of our belief in what is "natural" and "logical." His landscape is full of terrors and mysterious forces, as sharply etched as a flash of lightning on the deserts and mountains where don Juan takes him to pursue the sorcerer's knowledge--the knowledge that it is the Eagle that gives us, at our births, a spark of awareness, that it expects to reclaim at the end of our lives and which the sorcerer, through his discipline, fights to retain. Castaneda describes how don Juan and his party, left thisworld--"the warriors of don Juan's party had caught me for an eternal instant, before they vanished into the total light, before the Eagle let them go through"--and how he, himself, upon witnessing such a sight, jumped into the abyss.

Purple star is an angelic being, who is a star that shines in the night sky but also can transform into human shape living on the spiritual realm. This book is her story to what she has witnessed with the fight between heaven and hell and how earth is always in the middle. Purple star is a seerer and can see the path in which knights and warriors are to take. She is also known as a path finder as she sees things that others do not. This book is all based on the spiritual realm known as the angelic realm. She tells of fights between the light and the dark, a rescue mission and how her life becomes in danger, and a dark star angel that lives in the dark and who has fallen in love with purple star, and she knows it, but they both accept their own path and side they live. Many keep them apart, and the dark will not release him to be with her in the light. He is punished many times for protecting her to the point his life force flows from his body. Together they are a mighty fighting force their gifts combined, and they would withstand all that is thrown at them; one protects the other, and nobody would be able to come between them. The light accepts him as he has harm none.
