First published in Latin in 1418, this Christian devotional book is considered to be the most widely read Christian text in the world, aside from the Bible. The translators of this version set out to create the most clear and readable version possible, which is updated into modern English. They also removed the original "statement" format, and placed relevant text into paragraphs that connect ideas together more fully, for easier reading. The reason for this book's popularity is due to its personal approach toward the reader. One can focus on self-improvement through inner work, based on Christ's teachings, via prayer and meditation. This process includes lessons that elevate one's spiritual nature toward a Christ-like way of being, rather than following outward rules that often fail. It has been popular throughout the ages with all devout Christians, as well as mystics and religious researchers. This Book Tree published version is highly recommended for those wishing to get the most out of their experience with this great Christian classic.

This is the complete edition, which includes the 40-page Editor's Introduction. This well-known study is essential reading for those interested in the importance of culture and how to nurture its positive growth. Creating a harmonious growth of all facets of culture has become much more of a challenge in modern times. Following the precepts of this book can help insure success. Arnold is a champion for what he called an "organic" society-one that evolves slowly, grows into maturity, and avoids making great leaps into new forms of change that could, as a result, create trouble. There have always been those who are unhappy and wish to stir up unrest. If society can remain strong from the foundation that it has built, then anarchy will develop no foothold. Arnold provides a clear contrast between culture and the unrest that was prevalent in Victorian England, when this book was written. We can learn much from this study. From time to time, deep divisions can emerge in society. These social divisions often come from those who hold more radical ideologies from the norm. They attempt to create mistrust of authority, stereotyping, and the growth of fear in an effort to incite others and bring down the system. From studying this book one can better see how we got where we are today, and what may be needed to keep us going in a relatively safe way into the future, despite the increasing complexities we now face in the world today.

The Mother Goddess has been a powerful figure throughout most of human history. This symbol is unquestionably the most persistent feature in the archaeological record throughout the entire ancient world. This makes the Mother Goddess a supremely important figure that is vastly overlooked today. All of the major female goddesses are covered, including Aphrodite, Rhea, Athena, Isis, Demeter, Astarte, Hathor, Serapis, Asherah, Artemis, Inanna/Ishtar, Kore/Persephone, Kybele, and the unnamed Venus figurine deity, as seen on the cover, that has been found in related forms in at least 17 different ancient cultures worldwide. Also covered is the worship of Mother Earth and other non-goddess mother figures such as Eve, the Madonna, and Mary the Virgin. This book provides a complete historical overview of the Mother Goddess and her influence.

Neville Goddard wrote his books mostly from the 1940s through the 1960’s, always using his first name only—Neville. His books remain popular to this day, due to their timely and powerful messages. In this case, with Awakened Imagination, Neville reveals how one can use their own power to reach goals, no matter how lofty, using a rather simple process. The inner world is the key to achieving outer results if one knows how to use it. Most struggle by battling everything “out there” in a physical way, trying to force things into existence, with very little mental finesse except for recognizing their desire. Neville reveals how one can use their limitless imagination to create an attractive force that will bring certain things to them, rather than them having to fight for it with less chance of success. Using the wisdom of the Bible and the works of the mystic William Blake to back up his system, one receives not only proof, but encouragement, to delve into one’s inner world to achieve the outer results one seeks. He details how happiness actually works, and thereby allows us to work to achieve happiness. This powerful little book is well worth your attention if things have not worked out perfectly in life, but you still know that whatever is missing can truly be achieved. This book is a great tool for finding a better way that actually works.

Nicholas of Cusa was a Christian mystic who lived during the 1400s. The Vision of God is known as a classic of Christian mysticism, putting many believers in touch with the divine.Many Christians have a desire to experience God, rather than just believe in Him. Nicholas of Cusa provides an excellent guidebook for Christians who sense something deeper to the Christian experience. He was a mystic. He experienced God on a number of levels and taught people to move beyond mere belief and have similar experiences.By bringing spiritual principles into the Christian religious setting, Nicholas was able to instruct and enrich thousands of people. This he did at a time when Christianity was beginning to cast a long shadow of strict dogma over the masses -- it was the dawning of the Inquisition -- yet Nicholas was able to keep his mystical teachings Safely within the boundaries of the Church.During this incredibly busy and volatile time, Nicholas engaged himself whenever he could in meditation and study. It is from these introspective journeys that he received his spiritual insights. He also spent much time with a group of Benedictine monks, who asked for spiritual guidance from Nicholas after recognizing his gifts. Nicholas responded with The Vision of God in December of 1453. A rare classic brought back into print.

This is a guidebook on world control and management, a program that Wells believed should be orchestrated (and would be successful) through what he called the "Open Conspiracy." This conspiracy is fully outlined in this work and is designed to be run by many separate organizations working together, as opposed to being run by just one group. Is this required reading for the world's most powerful people? Maybe it is. Or maybe it should be. Wells was a visionary and genius whose work should be paid attention to. Chapters include The Idea of the Open Conspiracy, We Have to Clear and Clean Up Our Minds, The Revolution in Education, Religion in the New World, What Mankind Has to Do, Modern Forces Antagonistic to the Open Conspiracy, The Resistances of the Less Industrialized Peoples to the Drive of the Open Conspiracy, The Open Conspiracy Begins as a Movement of Discussion, Explanation and Propaganda, Development of the Activities of the Open Conspiracy, Human Life in the Coming World Community, and more.

Considered one of the best books on Native Americans ever written. The author and compiler reveals how Indians once lived and what they believed in relation to spiritual principles. As we move further away from the time when Native Americans were living completely free and unencumbered in what was to become the United States, before the arrival of the white man, it becomes increasingly difficult to preserve or remember the way of life that they had. Seton preserves all of the most important information in this book, gathered from the best sources at a time when it could still be accurately found. Like other Bibles, it includes creation stories and mythology as well as the trials and tribulations of the people. Chapters include The Soul of the Red Man, covering spiritual beliefs; The Ancient Way is about family life, laws and medicine men; The Wisdom of the Old Men covers the ancient teachings and myths; and Prophets of the Red Race shares stories on 13 different prophets, including Hiawatha, Tecumseh, Crazy Horse, Sitting Bull, Wabasha, Geronimo and Wovoka. The Epilogue, originally written shortly after the Great Depression, repeatedly emphasizes the failures of the white race due to money-madness, and how important it is to bring back an awareness that is not based so heavily on materialism.

UFOs do not exist are not the words of the author, but of government authorities. The evidence revealed here should once and for all expose this long-standing lie. Are alien beings capable of abducting humans and implanting objects into our bodies that we do not know about? The evidence is the implants themselves - tiny metallic objects of unusual composition, surgically removed from people who have claimed to have histories of alien abduction. Presented here is the most advanced research on the reality of alien implants, coming directly from eminent scientists. The author, an actual doctor, had originally thought such implants were nothing more than a joke - until he found the evidence. Since doing so, Roger Leir has been the only person to share these other-worldly objects with both scientists and the general public. Thousands of suspected pieces of alien craft, soil samples and trace landing evidence have been tested, but none have revealed scientific proof indicating off-world origin. For the first time, revealed in this book, scientists have made legitimate off-world claims and proven it. Also covers worldwide sightings, what they mean, and the latest findings surrounding the amazing 1996 Varginha, Brazil crash case, where the author has traveled to investigate first-hand. Includes a Foreword by Apollo 14 astronaut Edgar Mitchell, who describes what it's like to set foot on another celestial body, and shares opinions on intelligent life in the universe. This book takes the next step in the study of other life forms that may be visiting our earth and leaving evidence. From the Foreword, Edgar Mitchell says, In spite of denials and serious efforts by many governments to deny, the evidence has continued to mount for alien presence and activities. The learned and intelligent citizenry is becoming convinced that, indeed, our Earth is being visited by an advanced technological species.; Concerning Dr. Leir discovery of implants in humans, the TV documentary Unsealed

This book is the new, expanded second installment of the God-Kings trilogy, which traces the descendants of Jesus down through the ages. Other books purport to do this with great fanfare, however this trilogy quietly goes about its business in an academic style, often based on rare supporting documents that in many cases no other researchers have had access to. This includes the results of important DNA studies. In this second volume Montgomery picks up the trail of direct descendants from Jesus with Maria of the Elchasaites. She married the King of the Visigoths, Ataulf, which proved to be the beginning of the great Viking Ulvungar dynasty. A detailed history of these families follows, showing how they conducted themselves throughout the centuries between the years 850 to 1086 C.E. Many important historical events are covered in relation to this bloodline, including the conquest of England herself. Includes accurate, carefully researched genealogies and DNA related evidence supportive to the thesis of this work. You will not find much direct reference to Jesus in this particular book, but there is a bigger picture at work that, once grasped, may reveal a new understanding of world events. If you thought the idea of of a "bloodline from Jesus" was improbable, found only in novels like "The Da Vinci Code," then you need to look again, very closely, at the entire God-Kings trilogy.

At the Council of Nicea in 325 A.D. the actual genealogy of the family of Jesus was presented so the Council could decide on how Jesus should be presented from within the Church. His human side was rejected and from that day forth, the accurate genealogy of Jesus has been covered up. Until now. Dr. Hugh Montgomery's research into the descendents of Jesus continues in part three of his trilogy, bringing us into the time following the First Crusade. After its success, a number of Crusader states were set up in and around the Kingdom of Jerusalem. This area was ruled by those who were the claimed descendents of Jesus. Dr. Montgomery's work on this subject follows genuine and proven sources, sometimes using important historical documents that no one else has access to. Therefore, this trilogy gives the claim for Jesus having descendents more credibility than found from most if not all other sources. Dr. Montgomery's work continues to be discovered by scholars and lay readers interested in provable research and genuine, newly-found documents regarding a bloodline from Jesus. This book presents the story of how the descendents of Jesus returned from Europe into the Holy Land, to rule over the area. At the end of their rulership in Outremer, their power waned. The families continued to survive in Europe, however, as they do to this very day. This book ends their compelling story, but reveals the last chapter in their amazing "God-Kings" saga.

After many years of research and with the help of scholars from around the world, Professor Hugh Montgomery has released a book that is clearly one of the most scholarly examinations of the heritage of European rulers to date. The implications of this work are enormous as they involve a lineage traced back to Odin, once believed to be a Norse god, whose lineage then merged with the bloodline of Jesus Christ himself. Those who have dismissed the idea of a lineage from Jesus have given credence to popular fiction and what many would consider flawed research, as until now, that is all that has been commercially available. This is a subject whose time has come, with a well-researched book that goes far beyond mere speculation. This work fills in many holes that existed previously in this subject area and brings all the relevant pieces together in one place for the first time. It is a must read for all those interested in the truths behind "The Da Vinci Code" and in the way Europe has been ruled for centuries.

If the Devil exists, where is he? Is he really in a place called hell? If so, where is that? This well-researched book may shock you by exposing all the basic facts about the devil. Things like: -- The origins of hell.-- Where the Christian Devil was borrowed from.-- Why the church needed a "bad guy" to represent evil.-- What the words Devil and hell really meant in the Old Testament.-- "Endless punishment" and its devastating effects.-- The Devils twin brother -- God Was this true?-- Why God was the author of evil according to the Bible.These and other startling facts are found in this work. Don't just accept the reality of the Devil blindly. Read this book and decide for yourself if he exists

Although he did not know it at the time, the author of this book, King James, was to become one of the most influential people in mankind's religious history. He was responsible for the widely accepted King James Bible, based in part on the beliefs set forth in this book. Written directly by his own hand, it is shown that he believed himself to be an instrument of God. He believed in Satan and that his mission was to seek out and kill "witches" (the Devil's ministers). He was convinced that they had tried to cast spells and kill him on numerous occasions. This book provides the reader with an interesting psychological profile of this man -- revealing his mindset and the tactics used to hold sway over his people.

The Masonic Quiz Book is the most comprehensive and educational learning tool for the Freemasonic craft that one could possibly ever encounter. It covers every imaginable question that one could have about Freemasonry and answers many of them with information that would be difficult to find elsewhere. It clearly took years to research and create this amazing book, which is now being recognized as a valuable resource for Freemasonic information.

The word Atrahasis means "extra wise" and refers to the earliest known version of Noah, who built an ark and saved mankind from destruction. This is that story, from ancient Sumeria, which many scholars believe was the original from which all known flood stories came from. This was the most popular story in the ancient world and has survived for over five thousand years. It is the only one that all cultures, worldwide, seem to share. Why? Was there really a great flood? And why do we not explore the oldest known version carefully for clues? That is the purpose of this book, which also includes a number of other interesting flood story fragments and documents.

According to some sources, this book was once the original start of the Bible. Originally translated from Hebrew in A.D. 800, "The Book of Jasher" was suppressed, then rediscovered in 1829 when it was once again suppressed. Reemerged again, in his preface Alcuin writes the reference to Jasher in 2 Samuel authenticates this book.

The Babylonian and Assyrian Legends Concerning the Creation of the World and of Mankind. The Enuma Elish is one of the oldest stories known to mankind. It is a story first written down by the ancient Sumerians thousands of years ago. As a one time assistant in the Department of Egyptian and Assyrian Antiquities at the British Museum, L.W. King provides us with a qualified translation of the tablets which were originally written in cuneiform script. The Enuma Elish is receiving renewed interest from modern researchers delving into the origins of mankind, the earth, and the solar system. Over the centuries a copy ended up in the library at Nineveh in the 7th century B.C., and was uncovered by archaeologists in the late 1800s. Written in cuneiform text and preserved on seven clay tablets, the entire story was called "The Seven Tablets of Creation". After being translated the story revealed how the planets became aligned, how a cosmic catastrophe affected the earth, how mankind came upon the scene, and how the "gods" played a role in all of it. The Seven Tablets of Creation have had many profound implications since they were first discovered and subsequently published. They predate many parts of the Book of Genesis as well as other worldwide creation myths. Volume One includes this epic poem's English translation. It also includes information on parallels in Hebrew literature, the date and origin of the Babylonian creation legends, and more. Volume Two includes other accounts of creation, an Assyrian "Tower of Dabel" story, and supplementary texts showing the actual cuneiform tablets.

Translated from the Slavonic by W.R. Morfill. Edited, with Introduction and Notes by R.H. Charles For 1200 years this book was known only to a few people in Russia. When it was finally revealed to the world in 1892, it was announced that it was a Slavonic version of The Book of Enoch. This was wrong, Once translated, it was found that we have an entirely different book on and about Enoch, described, by the editor, as having no less value than the other book. This is a completely new and valuable pseudoepigraph, one which every person should read who is interested in Apocalyptic literature and the origins of Christianity. This particular book was read extensively by many separate Christian groups during the first three centuries, and it has left us today with many traces of its influence. It is now time to bring this book back into print so we may relearn its value to the world. This work was written in Egypt and we have determined that its author or original editor was a Hellenistic Jew. The Greek original has been lost to history, but the Slavonic text somehow survived. In its original Greek form it had a direct influence on the writers of the New Testament. This book was also referred to by Origen and used by the Church father, Irenaeus. It was read by, and considered valuable, by the heretics of the day in addition to mainstream Christians. This may be one reason why it was excluded from the Bible. We do not believe in banning or keeping hidden important works that have proven to be of such value in the past. We hope this book will enlighten and inform those who are seeking the truth.

If you think that UFOs are not real or that only crazy people believe in aliens, think again. This story was originally reported in the Wall Street Journal, then was forgotten. According to numerous eyewitnesses, an unidentified flying object crashed near Varginha, Brazil on January 20, 1996 and at least two beings were reported to have survived. One was taken to a local hospital for treatment and was operated on while the military stood guard. Join Dr. Roger Leir and follow in his footsteps as he takes you through the entire investigative journey. This could well be the most important UFO story to ever come out, and is a must read for anyone interested in the subject.

"Then came Neil Freer (who) undertook a different kind of mind-boggling task. If all that I had concluded was true, he said, what does it all mean not to the human race and the planet in general -- what does it mean to the individuals, to each one of us? He titles his new book God Games. But, if all the above is the Truth, it is not a game." Zecharia Sitchin (From the Introduction). This new book by Neil Freer, author of Breaking the Godspell, outlines the human evolutionary scenario far into the future. We are a genetically-engineered race with a dual racial heritage. Our half-Terran, half-alien genes place us on an accelerated, unique evolutionary path, already eagerly emerging from racial adolescence. Freer describes what''s in store for us as this dawning genetic enlightenment reveals the new human and the racial maturity of a new planetary civilization on the horizon. We all can contribute to our racial future as we evolve from a slave species to far beyond what we could previously even imagine. The godspell broken, we new humans will create our own realities and play our own "god games." Once we understand our true genetic history we will eventually move beyond the gods, religion, linear consciousness and even death. The subtitle. What do you do forever?, inspires us to contemplate how things like four-dimensional consciousness, the realization of a Law of Everything and the option of immortality will enable the new human to determine his own evolutionary path. It is quite possible that great thinkers in the future will look back on this book, in particular, as being the one which opened the door to our full evolutionary potential and a new paradigm. Neil Freer is a brilliantphilosopher focused on the freedom of the individual and what it means to be truly human. This book will make you think in new and different ways. Accept the challenge of God Games and you will be greatly rewarded.

This obscure and ancient religion is receiving more and more attention in modern times due to its claimed influence by scholars upon Christianity. This particular author, however, focuses upon the relationship between Zoroastrianism and Judaism, as he sets out to prove that Christianity did in fact receive influence from Zoroastrianism, but that it was transmitted through Judaism. This route of transmission allows the author to clearly show how Judaism itself was directly affected by Zoroastrainism during the Exilic Period, a time when these two faiths were existing in close proximity to one another. Chapters include Zoroaster Himself, The Mission and Ministry of the Prophet, The Scriptures of Zoroastrianism, Doctrine of God, Doctrine of Man, and Developments and Contacts.

This book is a tribute to the life and work of Zecharia Sitchin. He was a pioneer who left a great legacy behind regarding our ancient past and the origins of mankind. He taught us to think in new ways based on his breakthrough research and exciting discoveries. Sitchin was one of about 200 people who could translate the first form of writing on the earth - ancient Sumerian cuneiform script. By combining translated text with modern scientific knowledge and archaeological discoveries, he pieced together in his books a more complete mosaic of mankind''s shrouded past. He believed that mythological stories were not figments of people''s imaginations, but records of events that had actually taken place, and spent his life proving it. As modern science catches up with ancient knowledge, we have continued to discover, largely through Sitchin''s work, that the gods were once here and that they may be coming back. M. J. Evans, Ph.D., presents in this work an extremely well researched overview of Sitchin''s contributions to the knowledge of ourselves and our true origins. His work is put within the framework of a new paradigm, which is looming on the horizon. It will grow as our minds continue to open and new discoveries continue to corroborate his findings.

This rare and important holy book sheds new light on Judaism and early Christianity. It reflects a form of Jewish mystical thought at around the time of Christ and retells much of the Old Testament story. It includes additional material not found in the Bible and relies heavily on the "Book of Enoch," making this a good companion text for that title. Covers the fall of the angels, Adam & Eve, the great flood, evil spirits, the fall of man, and much more.

In this book, one of the greatest scientific minds to have ever lived, Nikola Tesla, presents his life story. Although titled My Inventions, it goes beyond his scientific achievements and recounts his childhood in Croatia, his early education in Europe, and his work with Thomas Edison, then followed by his most vital research and inventions. His inventions include the AC electrical system, fluorescent lighting, X-rays, remote control, the electric motor (which the modern Tesla car is designed after), robotics, the laser, the famous Tesla coil transformer, the wireless transmission of power, which could have provided us all with limitless free energy, and radio. Six months after Nikola Tesla died in 1943 the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that Marconi's radio patents were invalid and awarded them, rightfully, to Tesla. He was so amazingly gifted that his inventions would appear 3-D in his mind so he could examine them from any angle before building them perfectly, from this powerful inner blueprint. The book allows us to get to know him on a personal level and share his great achievements.

In the Introduction, Aleister Crowley, who translated the book, called it the masterpiece of Levi. The author, Eliphas Levi, reveals how to use the most hidden of occult secrets to reach the highest order of the human mind. The author has determined that the key to the world's mysteries resides on a higher plane that can only be accessed by reconciling the contradictions found in the dualism of reality. The methods used to accomplish this are explained as being this key. One may discover in this book the absolute knowledge of good and evil, why alchemy is the daughter of the Qabalah, secrets of life and death, the astral world, and the deeper mysteries of religion, including the Christian Cross. It also covers the use of Spiritualism, the Tarot, mesmerism, mediumship, magnetic powers, and various forms of magic that may be used to invoke either angels or demons. Eliphas Levi is legendary in the field of the occult, transcendental magic and the hidden world. If this book is indeed his masterpiece, it should leave no question in the minds of readers regarding its ability to live up to its title - the key of the mysteries.
