If the Western world knows anything about Zen Buddhism, it is down to the efforts of one remarkable man, D.T. Suzuki. The twenty-seven year-old Japanese scholar first visited the West in 1897, and over the course of the next seventy years became the world's leading authority on Zen. His radical and penetrating insights earned him many disciples, from Carl Jung to Allen Ginsberg, from Thomas Merton to John Cage. In Mysticism: Christian and Buddhist Suzuki compares the teachings of the great Christian mystic Meister Eckhart with the spiritual wisdom of Shin and Zen Buddhism. By juxtaposing cultures that seem to be radically opposed, Suzuki raises one of the fundamental questions of human experience: at the limits of our understanding is there an experience that is universal to all humanity? Mysticism: Christian and Buddhist is a book that challenges and inspires; it will benefit readers of all religions who seek to understand something of the nature of spiritual life.

During a client hypnosis session, author Despo Pishiri unintentionally managed to communicate with her Higher Self. The client was in a deep state of hypnosis, and Despo’s Higher Self used this opportunity to talk to her through her client. The Higher Self provided valuable information about Despo’s past lives which triggered her curiosity to understand the mechanisms involved in the process of spiritual development. This initial channeling encouraged her to find her true self, and it became the catalyst for writing this, her first book, From Darkness to Light. With a blend of personal and professional testimony, she reinforces the message of love, compassion, and tolerance inherent in the three religions of Hinduism, Buddhism, and Christianity against the backdrop of knowing who you are. She stresses the similarities between the three religions and reinforces the ideas of their teachings. Useful and enlightening, From Darkness to Light shares Despo’s personal discoveries as well as offers principles about self and healing your body, mind and spirit.

History is full of people who have claimed they came from God or bore messages from God, such as Confucius, Buddha, Bahaullah, Muhammed, Jesus, and many others. Buddhists believe in the wheel of reincarnation to reach nirvana or nothingness. Hindus believe God reveals Himself through various avatars. Muslims believe Muhammed is the final prophet and Jesus is not the Son of God. Orthodox Jews deny Jesus as the Messiah. Christians believe Jesus fulfilled the Messianic prophecies and is the Son of God. Atheists deny God’s existence altogether! These belief systems cannot all be true, so how can we know who is telling the truth? Promoting religious literacy is crucial to addressing the devastating impact of false religions. Religious literacy enables individuals to critically evaluate different belief systems, recognize the signs of manipulation, and differentiate between genuine spiritual teachings and false ideologies. Find out how to determine whether there is a God and which faith is telling the truth in this book, which applies a litmus test to seek God’s revelation to humanity through His prophets and prophecies.

The Divine CEO is a no-nonsense, pragmatic book about the hierarchy of spiritual ascent. It comes from the pen of acclaimed writer Geoff Thompson; former bouncer, world ranking martial arts guru, and BAFTA winning screenwriter. This is a masterclass on how to contract your ego, expand your conscious awareness, and build a powerful internal hierarchy, through mastery of mind, body and senses. For anyone looking to break their negative associations with the world and create a divine covenant with their Greatest Potential (their own internal Chief Executive Officer), this empirical, muscular and direct study of spiritual ascension is the perfect companion. It is the essence of the author's fifty year apprenticeship in practical spirituality, and high end Budo martial arts.

It deals extensively with Decembrism, the political conspiracy so known after its culmination in a failed attempt to overthrow the tsarist autocracy in December 1825. The Decembrist writers and other romantics influenced by Freemasonry, including Kondraty Ryleyev, Alexander Bestuzhev-Marlinsky, and Alexander Pushkin, were adept in the application of thaumaturgical skills to literature.

An alternative history of philosophy has endured as a shadowy parallel to standard histories, although it shares many of the same themes. It has its own founding texts in the late ancient Hermetica, from whence flowed three broad streams of thought: alchemy, astrology, and magic. These thinkers' attitude toward philosophy is not one of detached speculation but of active engagement, even intervention. It appeared again in the European Middle Ages, in the Renaissance with Rabelais, Paracelsus, Agrippa, Ficino, and Bruno; and in the early modern period with John Dee, Robert Fludd, Jacob Böhme, Thomas Browne, Kenelm Digby, van Helmont, and Isaac Newton. In the 18th-19th centuries, this book considers Lichtenberg's Fragments, Berkeley's Siris, Swedenborg, Hegel, von Baader, and great Romantics such as Novalis, Goethe, S. T. Coleridge, and E. A. Poe, as well as Nietzsche; and in the 20th century it turns to the great modernist literature of Fernando Pessoa, Robert Musil, Ernst Bloch, and P. K. Dick.

CHAKRAKEY is a book for spiritual students and teachers who seek a greater understanding of the meaning of life. If we are to evolve in a loving way here on Earth, we will do so because we grow in knowledge of our spiritual nature, and begin to love and honor one another as the kind and gentle people we truly are. ChakraKey reveals the humanspiritual design. Th rough the marriage of two ancient symbols, and one symbol recently found in the form of a crop circle, ChakraKey is an educational tool that reveals the energetic nature of all humanity, and thus our purpose in life. It is through understanding and awareness of our human spiritual nature that we are able to transcend our bodies and live in the light of love as spiritual beings. We do better, when we know better. ChakraKey marries ancient Hindu wisdom of the chakra system with the seven-candle menorah. When the menorah is turned sideways and placed next to the seven energetic points of the human chakra system, a map is revealed of our human spiritual design, our core essence, and love. The Knowledge and Wisdom contained within the ChakraKey, will provide you with the greatest gift you might ever hope to find, the ability to live a life filled with love, meaning, and purpose.
