"The path to immortality is hard, and only a few find it. The rest await the Great Day when the wheels of the universe shall be stopped and the immortal sparks shall escape from the sheaths of substance. Woe unto those who wait, for they must return again, unconscious and unknowing, to the seed-ground of stars, and await a new beginning. Those who are saved by the light of the mystery which I have revealed unto you, O Hermes, and which I now bid you to establish among men, shall return again to the Father who dwelleth in the White Light, and shall deliver themselves up to the Light and shall be absorbed into the Light, and in the Light they shall become Powers in God. This is the Way of Good and is revealed only to them that have wisdom.” ― Thoth Hermes Trismegistus
- The Kybalion – Three Initiates - Since 1908, The Kybalion has served as a study of basic Hermetic teachings that outline an ageless wisdom and touch upon the inner workings of nature. In ancient times and even today, these teachings were not understood by the lay person, but were readily understood by students after the axioms and principles had been explained and exemplified by the Hermetic Initiates and Masters to their Neophytes.
- The Arcane Teaching - William Walker Atkinson - “The Arcane Teaching” says the author “has come down to the present age through the corridors of time, from the dim ages of past eras, races, and schools of thought. Even those highest in the councils of “The Custodians of The Scroll,” are unable to trace the Teaching, in an unbroken direct line, further back than the time of Pythagoras (about 500 b. c.), and a little later in Ancient Greece, although they find many references to, and extracts from, the teachings of ancient Egypt and Chaldea, which serve to show that the Pythagorean and Ancient Grecian Arcane Schools were founded on occult instruction still more remote, received in a direct line of succession of teachers and pupils extending over centuries.
- The Arcane Formulas - William Walker Atkinson - “The ‘Arcane Formulas’ is a supplementary addition to the ‘Arcane Teaching’, and includes exercises to achieve a higher consciousness to be used to transmute one mental state into another. Its occult beginnings are not to be confused with witchcraft or any other form of archaic magic, negative or positive. It is simply a Truth, and if used correctly will grant you the key to ‘heaven on earth’.
- The Power of Concentration - William Walker Atkinson - It is of the utmost value to learn how to concentrate. To make the greatest success of anything you must be able to concentrate your entire thought upon the idea you are working on. The person that is able to concentrate utilizes all constructive thoughts and shuts out all destructive ones. The greatest man would accomplish nothing if he lacked concentration.
- The Master Mind - William Walker Atkinson - What is the difference between a Master Mind and any other form of Mind? Simply this, good readers, that the Master Mind is consciously, deliberately, and voluntarily built up, cultivated, developed, and used; whereas the ordinary mind is usually unconsciously built up, cultivated, and developed, without voluntary effort on its own part, but solely by the force and power of impressions from the outside world, and is usually employed and used with little or no conscious direction by its own will. In short, the ordinary mind is a mere creature of circumstances, driven hither and thither by the winds of outside forces, and lacking the guidance of the hand on the wheel, and being without the compass of knowledge; while the Master Mind proceeds in the true course mapped out by Intelligence, and determined by will—with sails set so as to catch the best breeze from the outside world, and steered by the master-hand at the wheel, under the direction of the compass of intelligence.
- Practical Mental Influence - William Walker Atkinson - Influence others while resisting their attempts to influence you. In this seminal work, Atkinson details practical techniques you can use to achieve influence over others’ minds while at the same time using the same methods to identify and resist attempts by others to influence you.
- Clairvoyance and Occult Powers - William Walker Atkinson - an important work in the field of New Thought philosophy. It provides a detailed exploration of metaphysical concepts such as the law of attraction, karma, and psychic energies. Through his analysis, Atkinson argues that individuals have the capacity to access hidden mental powers through introspection and meditation. He also emphasizes that these powers are part of our natural human inheritance, and can be cultivated and developed with practice.
- The Art and Science of Personal Magnetism - William Walker Atkinson - The Art and Science of Personal Magnetism is a work from the New Thought movement by author Theron Q Dumont. Dumont, as one of the top thinkers of New Thought, wrote this work to help individuals to successfully use their mental abilities to further develop a powerful personality and radiate a dominating influence over others. The Art and Science of Personal Magnetism is highly recommended for those who are interested in reading a key writing from the New Thought movement and those who are interested in the writings of Theron Q Dumont
- The Science of Breath - Yogi Ramacharaka - “Breath is Life” Yogi Ramacharaka was an American pioneer of the New Thought movement. In this work, he hopes to awaken the minds of the Western world to the value of the Yogi “Science of Breath.” The Oriental teachers say that in addition to the physical benefit derived from correct habits of breathing, Man’s mental power, happiness, self-control, clear-sightedness, morals, and even his spiritual growth may be increased by an understanding of the “Science of Breath” (Pranayama). Yogi Ramacharaka explains how to acquire the yogi complete breath and its physiological effect. He also describes the favorite exercises of the Yogis for developing the lungs, muscles, ligaments, air cells, etc. He gives full directions for the acquirement of this superior method of breathing, with a lot of exercises (with step-by-step descriptions). They are quite simple, but marvelously effective.
- Energy Work - Robert Bruce - a simple, easy-to-learn approach to self-healing based on his breakthrough system of Body Awareness Tactile Imaging energy work. Bruce explains how to use tactile imaging based on one’s sense of touch rather than visualization to stimulate the flow of vital energy throughout the body.
- The One Year Manual - Israel Regardie - This twelve-month manual brings the serious student of consciousness to an ongoing awareness of unity to progress from the physical disciplines of body-awareness, relaxation, and rhythmic breathing, through concentration, developing will, mantra-practice, to the ultimate awareness that All is God.
- How to Know Higher Worlds - Rudolf Steiner - In this classic account of the Western esoteric path of initiation, Steiner leads the student from the cultivation of reverence and inner tranquility to the development of inner life through the stages of preparation, illumination, and initiation. Practical exercises in inner and outer observation and moral development are described. By patiently and persistently following these suggestions, new “organs” of soul and spirit begin to form, revealing the contours of higher worlds that had been concealed from us. Here, Rudolf Steiner is available as teacher, counselor, and friend. His advice is practical, clear, and powerful.
- Frabato The Magician - Franz Bardon - Though cast in the form of a novel, Frabato the Magician is in fact the spiritual autobiography of Franz Bardon, one of the greatest Hermetic adepts of the 20th century. Frabato was the author’s stage name during his career as a performing magician, and it is Frabato who takes center stage in the novel as well. Set in Dresden, Germany, in the early 1930s, the story chronicles Frabato’s magical battles with the members of a powerful and dangerous black lodge, his escape from the Weimar Republic, and the beginning of the spiritual mission which was to culminate in Franz Bardon’s classic books on Hermetic magic.
- Initiation Into Hermetics - Franz Bardon - Each step of the practical part of this book is divided into three parts: the magical spiritual or mental schooling, soul or astral schooling, and physical schooling. This allows the student to maintain a complete equilibrium. The student learns how to control all his mental faculties even to the point that he can control every thought. He will learn self-introspection, clairvoyance, clairaudience, clairsentience, astral and mental travel, control of the electric and magnetic fluids, and communication with the beings of the astral plain.
- A Bardon Companion - Rawn Clark - a comprehensive guide to the teachings of Franz Bardon, a modern master of Hermeticism. The book offers practical advice, exercises, and commentary on Bardon’s works, as well as insights from other authors and practitioners.
- The New Hermetics - Jason Augustus Newcomb - The New Hermetics is a powerful spiritual technology of the mind. It is a course of study and practice that teaches the science of illumination and the ability to alter reality. The root of traditional Hermetic thought is that the mind shapes reality. The New Hermetics expands this concept—the universe is a great mind or consciousness, and we are a part of that consciousness; therefore by learning to control the mind, we learn to control our part of the universe.
- Back Door Into Hermetics - Mark Rasmus - a groundbreaking work in spiritual development. A spiritual successor to the late mystic Franz Bardon’s book, “Initiation Into Hermetics.” Back Door Into Hermetics is a comprehensive description of the metaphysical principles necessary to attain liberation and freedom, along with detailing immediate steps to accelerate spiritual development. This monumental volume treats spiritual growth with a comprehensive depth that is unique in works of this nature. Back Door Into Hermetics draws upon much-coveted, “closed-door” insider’s information to provide a roadmap toward the soul’s ultimate desired destination.
- Autohypnosis for Franz Bardon´s Initiation into Hermetics - Ray del Sole - For the genuine spiritual seeker: This book provides the theory and practice of autohypnosis for the ten steps of IIH with all abilities and qualities of the future magician. Further on it contains very important and recommended additional hypnotic suggestions which accelerate progress, dissolve bad karma and all kinds of blockades.
- The Threshold of Initiation - Ordre Martinistes Souverain - The Ordre Martinistes Souverains (O∴M∴S∴) is open to all sincere seekers of the Divine Light who knock with a pure intention and the will to persevere the initiatory process. To assist in understanding the purpose, aims, means and processes of the O∴M∴S∴, we have compiled our preliminary public documents into The Threshold of Initiation: Information for the Aspirant.
- In Search of the Miraculous - P.D. Ouspensky - Since its original publication in 1949, In Search of the Miraculous has been hailed as the most valuable and reliable documentation of G. I. Gurdjieff’s thoughts and universal view. This historic and influential work is considered by many to be a primer of mystical thought as expressed through the Work, a combination of Eastern philosophies that had for centuries been passed on orally from teacher to student. Gurdjieff’s goal, to introduce the Work to the West, attracted many students, among them Ouspensky, an established mathematician, journalist, and, with the publication of In Search of the Miraculous, an eloquent and persuasive proselyte. Ouspensky describes Gurdjieff’s teachings in fascinating and accessible detail, providing what has proven to be a stellar introduction to the universal view of both student and teacher.
- Gnosis Volume I: The Exoteric Cycle - Boris Mouravieff - Boris Mouravieff was an enigmatic ‘third man’, known to Gurdjieff and Ouspensky, who found and learned to practice what he clearly believed to be the complete system of which only ‘fragments’ had been previously published in Ouspensky’s In Search of the Miraculous. On this basis, he formed the ‘Center for Christian Esoteric Studies’ in Geneva – now closed. Many of his discoveries are described in his book Gnosis, which contains in its three volumes the fundamental components of that Christian esoteric teaching revealed by Ouspensky in fragmentary form. This Gnosis is not a modern statement of the second century texts known as ‘Gnosticism’, but a previously unpublished ancient Christian knowledge tradition.
- Gnosis Volume II: The Mesoteric Cycle - Boris Mouravieff - Gnosis does more than simply explore the mysterious relation between the ‘Fourth Way’ and the little known ‘Royal Way’ of Eastern Orthodoxy; it forms a modern primer in the knowledge tradition of the early church, and gives practical instruction in methods of spirituality for serious seekers. After escaping the Russian revolution and the Nazi occupation of France, Mouravieff taught these doctrines in language compatible with modern thought at Geneva University. These three books agree to a high degree with the teachings of the early fathers of the church, as well as with the inner teachings of all religions.
- Gnosis Volume III: The Esoteric Cycle - Boris Mouravieff - Volume III of Boris Mouravieff’s Gnosis contains ancient keys to a tradition of Christian esotericism that was necessarily hermetized 1800 years ago and has since remained unpublished, surviving to the present only in unwritten form. For students who have read the first two volumes of this work, this final text will provide exact data making it possible to solve many of the practical problems attendant on spiritual practice under the pressures of everyday life in modern times.
- Return of the Warriors - Théun Mares - First in the Toltec Teachings Series, Return of the Warriors introduces the Warrior’s Path and the Toltec Path of Freedom. This is an action-based approach to life, in which individuals are taught to value their own experience more highly than information from others. Theun Mares introduces the basic concepts of this path, as well as the practical techniques, and provides the tools used by warriors in everyday life to build self-belief, self-reliance and self-empowerment - the true foundations for freedom.
- Cry of the Eagle - Théun Mares - Life challenge or life crisis? The crises in the world today – and in our lives – are forcing us all to re-evaluate. How do we respond to life when we are challenged? What happens when life deals us “an unfair hand?” The message of Cry of the Eagle is that none of us are victims. Theun Mares explains why, and shows how you can use the warrior’s techniques to overcome your challenges and build a successful and joyful life - whatever your present circumstances or your past misfortunes. In Cry of the Eagle, he reveals how to use your challenges to build your belief in yourself and how to acquire the warrior’s invincible spirit.
- The Mists of Dragon Lore - Théun Mares - What is true belief in self? How can we learn to believe enough in our own abilities to follow our own dreams with total conviction? What can we do to break free from our self-limiting doubts and fears - all that stops us from realising our full potential? The Mists of Dragon Lore, by Theun Mares, describes how we are imprisoned within the common dream - slaves to our past conditioning, with little control over our thoughts, feelings and reactions. In this book Theun Mares shows how we can use the techniques of the Warrior’s Path to recognise the nature of the dream and gain the belief and confidence in ourselves to wake up to our full potential and claim our freedom. Once we have woken up in the dream - once we have started to realise our potential - Theun shows how we can take full control of the circumstances of our lives and carve out a unique life, based on our own dream - a life filled with joy and meaning.
- Shadows of Wolf Fire - Théun Mares - Freedom is not a vague mystical concept. True freedom needs to be fought for and attained. In Shadows of Wolf Fire Theun lifts the veils of myth as he takes us back to the root of freedom buried within another time, another place. Having gone back to the very beginning, Theun goes on to show what freedom means for the warrior today, and how, in practical terms, we can set about achieving it in our lives.
- Autobiography of a Yogi - Paramahansa Yogananda - Autobiography of a Yogi is at once a beautifully written account of an exceptional life and a profound introduction to the ancient science of Yoga and its time-honored tradition of meditation. This acclaimed autobiography presents a fascinating portrait of one of the great spiritual figures of our time. With engaging candor, eloquence, and wit, Paramahansa Yogananda tells the inspiring chronicle of his life: the experiences of his remarkable childhood, encounter with many saints and sages during his youthful search throughout India for an illumined teacher, ten years of training in the hermitage of a revered yoga master, and the thirty years that he lived and taught in America.
- The Holy Science - Swami Sri Yukteswar Giri - This extraordinary treatise explores parallel passages from the Bible and the Hindu scriptures to reveal the essential unity of all religions. Swami Sri Yukteswar, the revered guru of Paramahansa Yogananda, outlines the universal path that every human being must travel to enlightenment. He also explains the vast recurring cycles of civilization (yugas), affording a profound understanding of history and the ever-changing panorama of turbulent world events. Rooted in the deepest truths of religion, it yet offers practical advice for fulfillment in everyday living, by delineating the physical, mental, moral, and spiritual principles that govern the expansion of human consciousness.”
- Spinal Breathing Pranayama - Yogani - Spinal Breathing Pranayama is one of the most important practices in all of yoga, producing positive effects in our health, wellbeing, and every aspect of our daily living. Moreover, this simple daily practice purifies and opens us to our ecstatic inner realms, taking us on an exciting journey to inner space. The consequences of this journey are as practical as they are profound. This book provides easy-to-read instructions for beginning and continuing with the practice of “Spinal Breathing Pranayama,” addressing in a surprising degree of detail the many experiences and questions that can come up.
- The Practical Psychic Self Defense Handbook - Robert Bruce - Is everything that goes on in your mind really you? Perhaps not, says Australian psychic researcher Robert Bruce. Drawing on more than two decades of firsthand research and experience, Bruce reports that our minds are subject to influences from many unseen spiritual sources. Some of these can influence how we think, feel, act, and even how our bodies function. They can make us unhappy, irritable, confused, sick, unstable, even crazy. This is why we need practical tools and countermeasures for psychic self-defense, all of which Bruce provides. This is the ultimate guide to combating the influences of earthbound spirits, deranged ghosts, astral snakes and spiders, demonic spirits, and poltergeists. This is a highly anecdotal and comprehensive practical guide to the dark side of the psychic universe.
- Psychic Self-Defense - Dion Fortune - After finding herself the subject of a powerful psychic attack in the 1930’s, famed British occultist Dion Fortune wrote this detailed instruction manual on protecting oneself from paranormal attack. This classic psychic selfdefense guide explains how to understand the signs of a psychic attack, vampirism, hauntings, and methods of defense. Everything you need to know about the methods, motives, and physical aspects of a psychic attack and how to overcome it is here, along with a look at the role psychic elements play in mental illness and how to recognize them. This is one of the best guides to detection and defense against psychic attack from one of the leading occult writers of the 20th century.

- The Middle Pillar - Israel Regardie - Here is the first step into High Magick and spiritual attainment – a system of personal ritual (that is also a mental yoga, alchemy, self-healing) and Qabalistic meditation – in a specific program of self-consciousness programming, energizing of the Centers, and circulation of the Light.
- The Secret of the Golden Flower - Richard Wilhelm - Secret of the Golden Flower is an ancient Chinese book from an esoteric religious sect. In “Memories, Dreams, Reflections” Jung wrote this about it: “I devoured the manuscript at once, for the text gave me undreamed-of confirmation of my ideas about the mandala and the circumambulation of the center. That was the first event which broke through my isolation. I became aware of an affinity; I could establish ties with something and someone.”
- The Golden Dawn - Israel Regardie - First published in 1937, Israel Regardie’s The Golden Dawn has become the most influential modern handbook of magical theory and practice. In this new, definitive edition, noted scholar John Michael Greer has taken this essential resource back to its original, authentic form. With added illustrations, a twenty-page color insert, additional original material, and refreshed design and typography, this powerful work returns to its true stature as a modern masterpiece. An essential textbook for students of the occult, The Golden Dawn includes occult symbolism and Qabalistic philosophy, training methods for developing magical and clairvoyant powers, rituals that summon and banish spiritual potencies, secrets of making and consecrating magical tools, and much more.
- Self-Initiation Into the Golden Dawn Tradition - Chic Cicero & Sandra Tabatha Cicero - The Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn has been considered one of the most important Western magical systems for over a century. Although much of their knowledge has been published, to really enter the system required initiation within a Golden Dawn temple―until now.

- The Book of Knowledge - Anonymous - Dear reader, I write this book because times are changing. Awareness is increasing rapidly. Every year, the powers at work in our world grow stronger, fighting for influence, both negative and positive. The knowledge contained within this book has long been available, but it has been hidden or ignored. The time for ignorance has come to an end. So, I write the truth. Please understand that the knowledge within this book is not theoretical. With enough practice and understanding, you can realize your true potential and see reality as it is…
- Magical Use of Thought Forms - Dolores Ashcroft-Nowicki - In this comprehensive reference manual, two leading occult researchers present step-by-step instructions, some never before in print, for developing the most basic and essential skills for magical practitioners of any tradition―creating thought forms through astral manipulation. Also includes sections on the structure of reality and on new visualization techniques to build correct astral images for highly potent magical work, from creating a Familiar or Guardian to building a Memory Palace.
- The Qabalistic Tarot - Robert Wang - Hailed by reviewers as “a masterpiece,” and as “the single most profound reference of its kind,” The Qabalistic Tarot has become the standard in its field, a book essential to all students of Tarot symbolism. It is both a textbook and a sourcebook for the symbols of the Western Hermetic Qabalah, a corpus of mystical ideas which have, for centuries, exerted a powerful influence on the development of Western thought. Dr. Wang explains the Tarot as an externalization of a mystical system which has evolved from approximately the third century C.E. to our own time. He traces the development of Qabalistic ideas from the Neoplatonic through the Medieval, Renaissance, and Modern periods, systematically discussing each Sephira and Path on the Tree of Life. He uses the Tarot images as a point of visual reference, and provides a thorough explanation of the symbolic intricacies of the Paths.
- The Mystical Qabalah - Dion Fortune - Dion Fortune’s classic, The Mystical Qabalah, explores all aspects of the Qabalah, including the esoteric sciences of astrology and tarot, which form the basis of the Western Mystery Traditions. It provides a key to the practical working of this mystical system for both novice and initiate alike.
- The Practice of Magical Evocation - Franz Bardon - A new translation of Franz Bardon’s second volume of The Holy Mysteries. In magical terms, the book is a practical guide to the proper evocation of and communication with spiritual, magical and divine entities. It is perhaps the only truly significant modern study of direct contact with the universal teachers – the other major works in the field are products of the Medieval, Renaissance, and Reformation periods. But beyond that, there is a fascinating glimpse into a complete magical universe. Bardon outlines a totally new and original hierarchy of magic, from the spirits of the four elements to those of the various planets, and even to each degree of the zodiac. Included with the names and descriptions of the various entities are a collection of previously unknown magical sigils, as well as a true account of ancient astrology.
- The Key to the True Kabbalah - Franz Bardon - In The Key to the True Kabbalah, Franz Bardon demonstrates that mysticism of letters and numbers, the true Kabbalah, is a universal teaching of great antiquity and depth. Throughout the ages, adepts of every time and place have achieved the highest levels of magical attainment through the understanding of sound, color, number and vibration as embodied in the Kabbalah. This book, the third in Franz Bardon’s remarkable text of Hermetic magic, is nothing less than a practical guide to such attainment. Using the common German alphabet, Bardon guides the reader through ever greater levels of Kabbalistic achievement. No other available text reveals as great a depth of Kabbalistic wisdom or provides the reader with as much practical training. Though intended primarily as a working text for those who have completed Bardon’s first and second volumes, Initiation into Hermetics and The Practice of Magical Evocation, the present work stands on its own, and even those without the requisite background in practical Hermetics will be fascinated by the author’s intellectual journey through the mysticism of Tantric India, Tibet, the Hebrew Kabbalah, and the ancient sources of the Western magical tradition.
- Franz Bardon: Questions & Answers - Gerhard Hanswille - Franz Bardon is regarded by many as the greatest Hermetic adept of the 20th century. A tireless worker for the light, he survived Hitler’s concentration camps but died a victim of Communist persecution in 1958. He left behind him four legendary books which have become acknowledged classics of occult literature. This present volume is the first complete new work from the hand of Franz Bardon to appear since his famous series of books on Hermetics. Compiled from the notes of his students in Prague, it represents his oral teachings on the nature of the magical universe. Set in the form of questions and answers, this book is an invaluable addition to the Bardon material.
- The Secret Teachings of All Ages - Manly P. Hall - The Secret Teachings of All Ages by Canadian mystic and astrologer Manly P. Hall, was first published in 1928. The book is Hall’s magnum opus, and is a comprehensive introduction to all aspects of the Esoteric, including the Qabalah, Tarot, Ceremonial Magic, Mystery Religions, Rosicrucianism, Neo-Platonic Philosophy, and Freemasonry - an encyclopedia of ancient mythology, ritual, symbolism, and the arcane mysteries of the ages with over 200 illustrations. The publishing of the book instantly gave Hall iconic status within the metaphysical movement. It ties together the secret teachings that have existed for centuries, including Druidic, Mithraic, Christian, Gnostic, Odinic, Gothic, Eleusinian, Orphic, Bacchic, Dionysian, Platonic, Atlantean, Cabric, Hermetic, Zodiacal, Astrological, Chaldean, Delphic, Orphic, and more.
- Lectures on Ancient Philosophy - Manly P. Hall - Complete in itself, this volume originated as a commentary and expansion of Manly P. Hall’s masterpiece of symbolic philosophy, The Secret Teachings of All Ages. In Lectures on Ancient Philosophy, Manly P. Hall expands on the philosophical, metaphysical, and cosmological themes introduced in his classic work, The Secret Teachings of All Ages. Hall wrote this volume as a reader’s companion to his earlier work, intending it for those wishing to delve more deeply into the esoteric philosophies and ideas that undergird the Secret Teachings. Particular attention is paid to Neoplatonism, ancient Christianity, Rosicrucian and Freemasonic traditions, ancient mysteries, pagan rites and symbols, and Pythagorean mathematics.
- Theosophy - Rudolf Steiner - Theosophy is a key work for gaining a solid footing in spiritual reality as described by Rudolf Steiner. It is organized into four parts. First, Steiner builds a comprehensive understanding of human nature: physical bodily nature; soul qualities; spirit being, or “I”-being; and the higher spiritual aspects. This leads us to Steiner’s description of the human being as sevenfold.
- The Rosicrucian Cosmo-Conception – Max Heindel - a comprehensive and authoritative guide to the spiritual evolution of humanity and the cosmos. It presents the Rosicrucian teachings on the origin, nature and destiny of the human soul, the role of Christ and the planetary spirits, the laws of reincarnation and more.
- Astral Dynamics - Robert Bruce - Astral projection is the classic term for what today is more commonly called out-of-body experience or OBE. In this fascinating volume, Robert Bruce has drawn on his lifetime’s experience not only traveling in the astral dimension, but teaching others to do so. Astral Dynamics provides, all in one package, a personal narrative, a “how-to,” a troubleshooting guide, and a theoretical perspective. Whether you are a skeptic, a veteran astral projector, a novice or an armchair traveler–there is treasure here.
- The Law of One: Book I - RA - Who are the ancient astronauts? Why did they first come to Earth? Why are they returning now? What part did they play in building the great monuments of antiquity? What part did they play in the formation of present and earlier civilizations? With what other beings do we share our universe? And where does the Earth fit into the cosmic scheme of things? Almost twenty years of experimental work with telepathy led to the “breakthrough” contact recorded in this book. The Ra Material is an account not only of the events leading up to this contact, but of over 200 pages of verbatim transcripts of each and every conversation!
- The Law of One: Book II - RA - In Book Two of The Law of One, the nature of each of the densities or dimensions of this octave of creation is explored in detail with special emphasis given to how evolution for our third density to the fourth density is accomplished. The relationship between the densities of creation and the energy centers of the body is investigated so that each experience can be used as catalyst for growth to balance and crystallize the energy centers of chakras of the student of evolution. Wanderers, sexual energy transfers, the physics of Dewey B. Larson, Polarization in consciousness, ritual magic, and the nature and function of the Higher Self are all explored as they are related to the Law of One.
- The Law of One: Book III - RA - Book Three of the Law of One builds on the information presented in Books One and Two, continuing the exploration of the nature and balancing of the energy centers or chakras, sexual energy transfers, healing, reincarnation, meditation, and Wanderers. The nature of psychic prophecy is explored in Book Three, as are the nature and ramifications of what are usually called psychic attacks. A good deal of information is given on the principles of ritual magic in general and white magic in particular, and a beginning is made in the study of the archetypical mind, which is the mind of the Logos and serves as a kind of blueprint for our evolutionary process and which serves as the foundation concept for each of our individual minds.
- Journey of Souls - Michael Newton - Learn the latest details and most recent groundbreaking discoveries that reveal, for the first time, the mystery of life in the spirit world after death on Earth–proof that our consciousness survives–in “Journey of Souls” by Michael Newton, Ph.D. Using a special hypnosis technique to reach the hidden memories of subjects, Dr. Newton discovered some amazing insights into what happens to us between lives. “Journey of Souls” is the record of 29 people who recalled their experiences between physical deaths.
- Destiny of Souls - Michael Newton - A pioneer in uncovering the secrets of life, internationally recognized spiritual hypnotherapist Dr. Michael Newton takes you once again into the heart of the spirit world. His groundbreaking research was first published in the bestselling Journey of Souls , the definitive study on the afterlife. Now, in Destiny of Souls , the saga continues with 70 case histories of real people who were regressed into their lives between lives. Dr. Newton answers the requests of the thousands of readers of the first book who wanted more details about various aspects of life on the other side.
- The Astral World - Swami Panchadasi - This is an exploration of a system of mental templates that can be built up and explored in inner vision. This swami has travelled extensively in the astral realms. If you doubt its reality and what is there, this is a good book to read. Great companion to the Robert Monroe material.
- The Astral Plane - C. W. Leadbeater - a quite dumbfounding account of the astral world from the perspective of a highly-developed clairvoyant. Leadbeater was not a daydreamer and high-strung delusional, but possessed a scientific mind. Judging what he wrote from the perspective of the lesser developed `ordinary consciousness’ would be a pitfall of perception. It’s a simple fact that this high development of lucidity is given not to ordinary people, for reasons we still ignore, even today, so many years after the death of the great scholar and theosophist.
- Fringe Knowledge for Beginners - Montalk - This book offers the most important and practical concepts known to me in the fewest number of pages, written to be understood by anyone with an open mind. Its goal is to provide an organized sequential overview of our “situation” regarding metaphysics, cosmology, human origins, aliens, the Control System, the Shift, and how to empower ourselves spiritually. I end with a finely honed list of books for further study.
- Discerning Alien Disinformation- Montalk - If aliens revealed themselves to the world, how would we know they were friendly? Would it be enough for them to arrive without violence, offer gifts of scientific knowledge, and guide us toward achieving global peace and unity? Not necessarily. Hostile aliens may disguise themselves as friendly helpers to capture our hearts before ensnaring our minds and souls. If we are to be ready for contact, we must acquire discernment to see through such deception. This book paves the way.
- Bringers of the Dawn - Barbara Marciniak - A book of channeled messages from the Pleiadians, a group of enlightened beings who have come to Earth to help us discover how to reach a new stage of evolution. Learn how to become media free, work in teams, eliminate fear, and reclaim your natural power as a member of the Family of Light.
- Operation Trojan Horse - John Keel - The real UFO story must encompass all of the many manifestations being observed. It is a story of ghosts and phantoms and strange mental aberrations; of an invisible world that surrounds us and occasionally engulfs us; of prophets and prophecies, and gods and demons. It is a world of illusion and hallucination where the unreal seems very real, and where reality itself is distorted by strange forces which can seemingly manipulate space, time, and physical matter-forces that are almost entirely beyond our powers of comprehension.
- The Cosmic Pulse of Life - Trevor James Constable - Presents evidence that UFOs are mainly invisible and consist of both physical craft and living biological creatures. The author convincingly shows that our atmosphere is the home of huge, invisible living organisms that are sometimes confused with spacecraft when they become visible. Mr. Constable has photographed both types of UFOs with infrared film, some of which are reproduced in this expanded, updated edition. Despite his bold leap into the future, the general public and official ufology have a hard time accepting the evidence. In more recent years, teams of engineers and technicians in both Italy and Romania, unaware of Constable’s earlier discoveries, obtained virtually identical infrared photos, published in Italy.
- Scarlet and the Beast - John Daniel - My research has revealed that there are two separate and opposing powers in Freemasonry. One, headquartered in London, subscribes to and promotes an idolatrous and pantheistic view of the world. It is monarchist, capitalistic, wealthy, right-wing. The other, in Paris, is atheistic and humanistic in origin and outlook. It is republican, socialist, poor, left-wing. One is Scarlet. The other, the Beast. The breakthrough theory which I have developed with Scripture as my guide makes sense of the massive literature I have collected on Freemasonry as well as its apparent contradictions. My library includes books written by members of and defectors from both English and French Freemasonry. This interesting twist in the historical drama, confirmed again and again by my research, points to the existence of a struggle between the two powers in Freemasonry.
- A Rosicrucian Notebook - Willy Schrodter - First-ever personal account of the secret sciences of the Rosicrucians, translated into English. Schrodter researched information on such topics as blood telegraphy, ever-burning lamps, optics, spiritual skills in healing, transplantation, isopathy, and magnetism.
- Behold a Pale Horse - William Cooper - Bill Cooper, former United States Naval Intelligence Briefing Team member, reveals information that remains hidden from the public eye. This information has been kept in Top Secret government files since the 1940s. His audiences hear the truth unfold as he writes about the assassination of John F. Kennedy, the war on drugs, the Secret Government and UFOs. Like it or not, everything is changing. The result will be the most wonderful experience in the history of man or the most horrible enslavement that you can imagine. Be active or abdicate, the future is in your hands.
- Extreme Privacy - Michael Bazzell - Michael Bazzell has helped hundreds of celebrities, billionaires, and everyday citizens completely disappear from public view. He is now known in Hollywood as the guy that “fixes” things. His previous books about privacy were mostly REACTIVE and he focused on ways to hide information, clean up an online presence, and sanitize public records to avoid unwanted exposure. This textbook is PROACTIVE. It is about starting over. It is the complete guide that he would give to any new client in an extreme situation. It leaves nothing out, and provides explicit details of every step he takes to make someone completely disappear, including document templates and a chronological order of events.

- How to Disappear - Frank Ahearn - How to Disappear is the authoritative and comprehensive guide for people who seek to protect their privacy as well as for anyone who’s ever entertained the fantasy of disappearing—whether actually dropping out of sight or by eliminating the traceable evidence of their existence.
- How to Be Invisible - J. J. Luna - From cyberspace to crawl spaces, new innovations in information gathering have left the private life of the average person open to scrutiny, and worse, exploitation. Using real life stories and his own consulting experience, J.J. Luna shows you legal methods for protecting yourself from information predators and how to secure your bank accounts, business dealings, computer files, and even your home address.
- Ghost in the Wires - Kevin Mitnick - Kevin Mitnick was the most elusive computer break-in artist in history. He accessed computers and networks at the world’s biggest companies–and however fast the authorities were, Mitnick was faster, sprinting through phone switches, computer systems, and cellular networks. He spent years skipping through cyberspace, always three steps ahead and labeled unstoppable. But for Kevin, hacking wasn’t just about technological feats-it was an old fashioned confidence game that required guile and deception to trick the unwitting out of valuable information. Driven by a powerful urge to accomplish the impossible, Mitnick bypassed security systems and blazed into major organizations including Motorola, Sun Microsystems, and Pacific Bell. But as the FBI’s net began to tighten, Kevin went on the run, engaging in an increasingly sophisticated cat and mouse game that led through false identities, a host of cities, plenty of close shaves, and an ultimate showdown with the Feds, who would stop at nothing to bring him down.
- Code: The Hidden Language of Computer Hardware and Software - Charles Petzold - Code: The Hidden Language of Computer Hardware and Software , crosses over into general-interest nonfiction from his usual programming genre. It’s a carefully written, carefully researched gem that will appeal to anyone who wants to understand computer technology at its essence. Readers learn about number systems (decimal, octal, binary, and all that) through Petzold’s patient (and frequently entertaining) prose and then discover the logical systems that are used to process them. There’s loads of historical information too. From Louis Braille’s development of his eponymous raised-dot code to Intel Corporation’s release of its early microprocessors, Petzold presents stories of people trying to communicate with (and by means of) mechanical and electrical devices. It’s a fascinating progression of technologies, and Petzold presents a clear statement of how they fit together.
