Compassion Conquers All reveals the heart of Buddhist wisdom in eight short verses, as elucidated by a fearless pioneer of contemporary Dharma. Unconditional love and freedom are here and now if we let go of self-centered obsession and let ourselves be embraced by what is. The very life we are living, with all its difficulties, failures, and frustrations, can be the road to liberation. The world can be our school of transformation. Everybody becomes our best friend. We become our own best friend. Deeper and deeper, from learning to cherish all beings as precious, to realizing that those we perceived as enemies are our supreme teachers, the teachings in Compassion Conquers All transport us into our innermost heart where we discover that we are the light we have been longing for. Indeed, compassion conquers all.

Are there 10,000-year-old secret societies that still exist today?Was there a race of giants that once inhabited the Americas?>Lost Secrets of the Gods delves into these ancient mysteries and many more in articles by some of the world's most intrepid and knowledgeable researchers. The old paradigms of history are being radically transformed as we discover more evidence of little-known cultures and what they achieved. Many ancient cultures spoke and wrote of visitors that gave them knowledge and helped shape their societies. Who were they, and where did they come from? We now know that many ancient cultures had advanced knowledge of science, agriculture, and astronomy, only some of which has been rediscovered in the last 100 years. Were The Iliad and The Odyssey really about an epic struggle in pre-Celtic Europe? What happened to the Persian army that completely disappeared from Egypt 2,500 years ago? Did the ancients know how to create psychic guard dogs to protect sacred sites? There is much more to history than what has officially been recorded. Lost Secrets of the Gods reveals startling truths and asks fascinating questions traditional historians have long ignored.

Are UFOs celestial saviours, coming to save Earth from self-destruction? Are UFOnauts advancing human evolution by birthing hybrid children? Is it time for a new "astrotheology" that enshrines the UFO phenomenon at the same level as the space sciences at NASA and SETI? UFOS: GOD''S CHARIOTS? uncovers and exposes the clandestine spiritual dimensions within the UFO phenomenon. UFOs vibrate with transcendence, omniscience, perfection and redemption. UFOS: GOD''S CHARIOTS? delves deeply into government conspiracies, analyses the newest models of close encounter interpretation and reveals the results of The Peters ETI Religious Crisis Survey, in which self-identified believers were asked if making contact with an intelligent extraterrestrial civilisation would undermine our historic religious traditions. They said no. Does this mean we''re ready to share our pews with aliens?

Everyone has heard of Close Encounters of the Third Kind. But what about close encounters of the fatal kind? The field of UFOs is rife with unsettling examples of suspicious deaths. Accounts of accidents that might not have been accidents after all, abound. Researchers and witnesses have vanished, never to be seen again. Conveniently timed heart attacks are reported. Out-of-the-blue suicides that, upon investigation, bear the distinct hallmarks of murder, are all too common. And grisly deaths at the hands of both extraterrestrials and government agents have occurred. Highlights of CLOSE ENCOUNTERS OF THE FATAL KIND include:┬╖The strange saga of the incredible melting man.┬╖The UFO-related death of the first U.S. Secretary of Defense, James Forrestal.┬╖The mysterious disappearances of military pilots and their connection to UFOs.┬╖The connections between national security and the sudden deaths of UFO investigators. Getting too close to the cosmic truth about alien abductions, Roswell and what the government really knows about UFOs can-clearly-be a deadly business. The government''s latest admission of the existence of Area 51 is barely the tip of a very big iceberg.

Like runes, the Theban Oracle is a unique and singular writing system or, more appropriately, an alphabet-codex that is based on the ancient magical writings devised by the 14th-century magus, Honorius of Thebes. It was later utilised as an oracle by such masters of the occult sciences as Heinrich Cornelius Agrippa, Petrus De Apono, Dr. John Dee and other mediaeval and renaissance contemporaries of high magick. The Theban code-writing system appeared to go dormant until 1801, when Englishman, Francis Barrett, brought it and other esoteric aspects of magick back into vogue. It was later re-discovered by Gerald Gardner in the 1930s, when it caught on in select covens and metaphysical circles.Now Greg Jenkins reveals the secrets of this magical alphabet and oracle system to provide wisdom and guidance for today. This book is designed for anyone with an interest in divination as well as those interested in ancient writings and mediaeval metaphysics and is sure to deliver on its promise to illuminate your life. Prepare yourself to discover the hidden mysteries of the ancients and the magick within you.

Was America truly unknown to the outside world until Christopher Columbus discovered it in 1492? Could a people gifted enough to raise the Great Pyramid more than 4,000 years ago have lacked the skills necessary to build a ship capable of crossing the Atlantic? Did the Phoenicians, who circumnavigated the African continent in 600 bc, never consider sailing farther? Were the Vikings, the most fearless warriors and seafarers of all time, terrified at the prospect of a transoceanic voyage? If so, how are we to account for an Egyptian temple accidentally unearthed by Tennessee Valley Authority workers in 1935? What is a beautifully crafted metal plate with the image of a Phoenician woman doing in the Utah desert? And who can explain the discovery of Viking houses and wharves excavated outside of Boston? These enigmas are but a tiny fraction of the abundant physical proof for Old World visitors to our continent hundreds and thousands of years ago. In addition, Sumerians, Minoans, Romans, Celts, ancient Hebrews, Indonesians, Africans, Chinese, Japanese, Welsh, Irish, and the Knights Templar all made their indelible, if neglected, mark on our land.

Selections from writings of Aleister Crowley on sex magick as published famed magical journal the Equiniox. The Equinox, in print from 1909-1919, was a magical journal published by Aleister Crowley and included Crowley's own A...A... laws, rituals and rites, reviews, and magical works by other important practitioners. Much of this material was collected by Israel Regardie and published in the massive Gems from the Equinox (1974). Now, renowned scholar and U.S. Deputy Grandmaster General of the O.T.O. Lon Milo DuQuette presents readers with his own selections from this classic publication, The Best of the Equinox. Volume III of the series presents perhaps the most controversial of esoteric subjects, sex magick. Once Aleister Crowley grasped the fundamentals of sexual magick, he came to understood it to be the key that unlocks the secrets of the universe. He dedicated the entire second half of his life to exploring its mysteries. This volume presents the bulk of Crowley's written works on the subject and includes "The Gnostic Mass," "Energized Enthusiasm," "Liber A'ash," "Liber Chath," and "Liber Stellae Rubeae."

We live in an age of information. But there are things in our prehistory "e;about which we do not have the faintest idea,"e; writes best-selling author Erich von Daniken in his gripping new book, REMNANTS OF THE GODS. Stone structures erected by master builders, mysterious underground complexes, geometrically aligned stone circles, the breathtaking pyramids of Egypt - who built them? And, perhaps more importantly, where did these builders obtain such incredible knowledge? Erich von Dniken shows in detail how whole countries were surveyed thousands of years ago. Hundreds of Stone Age holy places are located at equal distances from one another, forming giant squares and triangles. How was all of this possible? Classic archaeology provides no answers to these questions. Worse still, it doesn't even appear to be interested. Are we all threatening to become "e;camp followers of disinterest,"e; as Erich asks? Featuring more than 160 colour photos and illustrations, Erich reveals the secrets of "e;impossible buildings"e; in Europe and the Mediterranean region, describes "e;crazy facts"e; and relentlessly exposes false doctrines. REMNANTS OF THE GODS will make even strident sceptics reconsider what they think they know of the past.

Where the bloodlines of the Nephilim leave off, the real story just begins. Or does it go back even further than that? The very real probability that non-human intelligences visited and even copulated with primordial humans is detailed in civilisation''s most ancient cultural and religious records. These historical records further reveal that these intelligences were reptilian in nature - or, at the very least, have been represented throughout human history in reptilian form. From the Serpent, Nawcash, in the Garden of Eden; Atum, the Egyptian snake-man and Quetzalcotl, the feathered serpent god of the Mayans to the double-helix snake symbol of Enki/Ea in ancient Sumerian literature, the serpent has been the omnipresent link between humans and the gods in every culture.In THE SECRET HISTORY OF THE REPTILIANS, Scott Alan Roberts investigates and examines the pervasive presence of the serpent in human history, religion, culture and politics. Are we the product of an extraterrestrial race that moves and breathes - and even breeds - beneath the surface of all of human history?Put on your thinking cap and take an historical, anthropological, archaeological plunge into the heady waters of extraterrestrial origins.

When first published in 1801, The Magus presented a complete study in the practice of ritual magic. It was compiled by Barrett from many different occult sources, such as Agrippa's work, the Heptameron, and various manuscripts of The Key of Solomon, in response to renewed public interest in magic and the ancient, classic texts. As such, it was the first readily accessible English translation, or republication, of rare, long-out-of-print works, and was fundamental for many exploring the Western magic tradition at the dawn of the Victorian Occult Revival. The Magus is actually separated into three books combined in one volume.Book I covers: Natural Magic -- the occult properties of animals, minerals, and vegetables; including the preparation of charms, potions, "monsters", and sorcery; alchemy -- the Philosopher's Stone and how to make it; transmuting base metals into gold, the origin and history of alchemy including famous alchemists; the nature of the elements, the spirit world, planets, numerology, astrology, and talismanic magic.Book II covers: the occult powers and uses of magnetism, including an essay on the Weapon Salve; and a comprehensive study of the cabala and ceremonial magic; includes divine names associated with cabala; use of the cabala to contact, summon, and bind spirits; names and descriptions of good and evil spirits along with the numbers, characters, and seals associated with them; construction of magic circles; and ceremonies of consecration, invocation, and conjuration.Book III is a compilation of biographies of famous magi, cabalists, and philosophers, such as Zoroaster, Albertus Magnus, Doctor Dee, Raymond Lully, and many others.This facsimile is a photo-reproduction of all three books from the first edition. A renowned and often-referenced classic of the Western Mystery Tradition, it remains a useful foundation for the study and practice of magic.
