En todos existen poderes ocultos y habilidades, aptitudes que
algunos despiertan solo despues de haber pasado por un proceso
ancestral que los esoteristas conocen bien y que le llaman
Iniciacion. Algunos huyen, otros se quedan y los menos son los que
alcanzan altos grados y obtienen el verdadero conocimiento, pero
mas aun, tienen acceso a mundos desconocidos para la mayoria. Este
libro devela que es y como entrar a la Iniciacion, algo que muchos
no estan dispuestos a afrontar.
Kaos Hieroglyphica Alchemy for the New Aeon In the year 1564, Dr
John Dee published his work, Monas Hieroglyphica. Its central
symbol represented the unity which was the gnosis of the
monotheistic aeon. Now over four hundred years later, Anton
Channing has published his long awaited debut work Kaos
Hieroglyphica, within which he expounds a new symbol, the Kaos
Hieroglyph. This symbol represents the plurality and freedom of the
New Aeon. This work of magical alchemy draws on such diverse
material as Thelema, the Chaos Current, the Maat Current, Timothy
Leary, Witchcraft, Paganism, the Hermetic Tradition, Taoism,
Shamanism and the author's own Pineal Gland. The Kaos Hieroglyphica
offers the reader interpretations of Hermetic symbolism in a way
that is both insightful and relevant to New Aeon Magic.

one subject of permanent interest, the soul. It is a truth easily
forgotten in the press of prac tical undertakings...
"This book is very valuable. Today, there are too many books on the
Work that are either deliberately impersonal and as a result are
just a re-explaining of basic ideas which are already there in
Ouspensky. Or else, the purely subjective 'what I felt, what I
experienced'. Dorothy strikes a good balance, because the
subjective experience in this context is the ground through which
precious memories of the Work in its early and soon-to-be forgotten
period can be shared." Peter Brook (Author, Film and Theatre
Director, and a student of Gurdjieff himself)
As time goes on, man still has the same unanswered questions
regarding the unknown phenomenon that's infected our planet.
Without expectation, the unknown has appeared and disappeared
without a clue as to what they are, who they are, and why they are
here. We know there is an outer space beyond Earth which contains
an endless mass of stars planets, asteroids, and moons. We call it
the cosmos, which refers to everything in space including Earth. Is
there anyone or anything out there besides us?
Once we take up the writings of Ch'an (Zen in Japanese) we will be
conscious of having entered another world different from any other.
The Foundling is the story of the legendary masters and
semi-recluses named Feng Kan, Han Shan, and Shih Te who lived their
lives outside the rules of mainstream Buddhist conventions and
achieved a higher level of enlightened perception. Their historical
authenticity is uncertain. What we actually know about these famous
figures in paradoxical Ch'an tradition comes from their more than
three hundred poems, the complete set of which has for the first
time been translated into Western language.
Although they did repeatedly talk what seemed to be nonsense,
this practice of entry into the world of absurdity was not
nonsensical at all. Moreover, their "madness" was highly praised
through centuries not only in China but in Japan, Korea, and in the
other Asian countries. Why is this so? For anyone interested in
throwing a clearer light on the mysteries of Ch'an studies, as well
as to find out what actually was behind the exterior clumsiness and
buffoonery of Ch'an masters, The Foundling ought to be made
compulsory reading.
ULTIMATE TRUTH is the first volume of the 'TRUTH' series. It is a
riveting, thought provoking masterpiece of theories, philosophy and
great spiritual insight about our Divine nature and Celestial
origins. It delves heavily into the esoteric and occult teachings
that many are often unaware of or too afraid to accept. In this
book, author Peter C. Rogers, D.D., Ph.D takes on many of the
topics that are taboo or often hard to understand and simplifies
them for the common lay person. This book will prompt you to ponder
and even question a lot of the things you hold to be true. It will
shake your foundation to the core causing you to wonder why you've
never been taught these things in school, in church or in society.
By the same token, this book will be met with public ridicule,
controversy and resistance by those who are still unwilling to
accept the 'Ultimate Truth' about our Being. As this book will
point out, we are living in an age where truth is our only
salvation and the deception of the elite will no longer be
tolerated by the masses. Our planetary consciousness is stirring
and we as a race of Cosmic Spiritual Beings are heeding the call of
the Divine in our spirits and in our genetic memory code. This book
is yet another piece of the awakening process for all those who
look therein. It is a synthesis of various truths, fundamental
spiritual beliefs, powerful incite and thought provoking stimuli.
The only thing that now stands between you and a new way of life is
You --for a closed mind is a barrier against change. May your life
be forever altered by the renewing of your mind and the liberation
of your Spirit.
