The Secret Teachings of All Ages is perhaps the most comprehensive
and complete esoteric encyclopedia ever written. The sheer scope
and ambition of this book are stunning. In this book Manly P. Hall
has successfully distilled the essence of more arcane subjects than
one would think possible. He covers Rosicrucianism and other secret
societies, alchemy, cryptology, Kabbalah, Tarot, pyramids, the
Zodiac, Pythagorean philosophy, Masonry, gemology, Nicholas
Flammel, the identity of William Shakespeare, The Life and
Teachings of Thoth Hermes Trismegistus, The Qabbalah, The Hiramic
Legend, The Tree of the Sephiroth, and Mystic Christianity. There
are more than 200 illustrations included here (and in the trade
paperback edition) many of which have been omitted from other
publisher's editions of this book. This is essential reading for
anyone wishing to explore esoteric knowledge.
The Heart is the meeting place of the individual and the divine,
the inner ground of morality, authenticity, and integrity. The
process of coming to the Heart and of realizing the person we were
meant to be is what Carl Jung called 'Individuation'. This path is
full of moral challenges for anyone with the courage to take it.
Using Jung's premise that the main causes of psychological problems
are conflicts of conscience, Christina Becker takes the reader
through the philosophical and spiritual aspects of the ethical
dimensions of this individual journey toward wholeness. This book
is a long overdue and unique contribution to the link between
individuation and ethics. Christina Becker, M.B.A. is a
Zurich-trained Jungian Analyst in private practice in Toronto,
Ontario Canada.
In this truly unforgettable book, Jesse Anson Dawn, author of
the national award-winning, 258-page volume, Never "Old," shares
his global discoveries, whereby very effective ways to stimulate
((regeneration-sparking)), self-healing and (protection energy) are
clearly revealed.
For example, by traversing this international journey, you can
learn the (body-saving) secrets of Vietnamese Buddhists, along with
the vital wisdom of an amazingly ageless, 121 year-old, Tunisian
mystic, followed by a visit with a truly enlightening, Incan healer
who, at 118, looks like a very healthy 55 or 60.
This is a book about curses. It is not about curses as insults or
offensive language but curses as petitions to the divine world to
render judgment and execute harm on identified, hostile forces. In
the ancient world, curses functioned in a way markedly different
from our own, and it is into the world of the ancient Near East
that we must go in order to appreciate the scope of their
influence. For the ancient Near Easterners, curses had authentic
meaning. Curses were part of their life and religion. They were not
inherently magic or features of superstitions, nor were they mere
curiosities or trifling antidotes. They were real and effective.
They were employed proactively and reactively to manage life’s
many vicissitudes and maintain social harmony. They were
principally protective, but they were also the cause of misfortune,
illness, depression, and anything else that undermined a
comfortable, well-balanced life. Every member of society used them,
from slave to king, from young to old, from men and women to the
deities themselves. They crossed cultural lines and required little
or no explanation, for curses were the source of great evil. In
other words, curses were universal. Because curses were woven into
the very fabric of every known ancient Near Eastern society, they
emerge frequently and in a wide variety of venues. They appear on
public and private display objects, on tomb stelae, tomb lintels,
and sarcophagi, on ancient kudurrus and narûs. They are used in
political, administrative, social, religious, and familial
contexts. They are the subject of incantations. They are tools that
exorcise demons and dispel disease; they ban, protect, and heal.
This is the phenomenology of cursing in the ancient Near East, and
this is what the present work explores.
