How Your Mind Can Heal Your Body: 10th-Anniversary Edition
Par David Hamilton. 2018
&‘This book will teach you that healing by thought alone is not only possible, but it is a reality.&’ -…
Dr Joe Dispenza, New York Times bestselling author of Becoming SupernaturalThere is no longer any doubt that the way we think affects our bodies: countless scientific studies have shown this to be true. For former pharmaceutical scientist Dr David Hamilton, the testing of new drugs highlighted how profoundly the mind and body are connected. Time and time again, the control group of patients in drug trials improved at similar rates to those who actually received the medicines. Astounded, Dr Hamilton decided to change the direction of his work to explore the relationship between the mind and the body.This bestselling acclaimed book was first published 10 years ago. In it, Dr Hamilton explores the effect of visualization, belief and positive thinking on the body, and shows how using our imagination and mental processes can stimulate our own defences and healing systems to combat disease, pain and illness.In this new edition, Dr Hamilton has added four new chapters to discuss the latest cutting-edge information and extraordinary new techniques. These include using imagery to stimulate the immune system - a method that can benefit cancer patients undergoing conventional treatment - effectively using the mind to speed up rehabilitation from stroke, and powerful visualization strategies to help facilitate recovery from injury and illness.ThetaHealing: Introducing an Extraordinary Energy Healing Modality

Par The Disinformation Guide. 2013
This compendium of ancient mysteries and controversial knowledge is “an excellent briefing on the genre and its complexities” (Fortean Times).Where…
did “modern” civilization begin? What lies beneath the waves? Do myths describe interstellar impact? How’d they lift that stone? Was the Ark of the Covenant a mechanical device? Were there survivors of an Atlantean catastrophe? Who really discovered the “New” World? “Hidden history” continues to fascinate an ever wider audience. In this massive compendium, editor Preston Peet brings together an all-star cast of contributors to question established wisdom about the history of the world and its civilizations. Peet and anthology contributors guide us through exciting archeological adventures and treasure hunts, ancient mysteries, lost or rediscovered technologies, and assorted “Forteana,” using serious scientific studies and reports, scholarly research, and some plain old fringe material, as what is considered “fringe” today is often hard science tomorrow. Contributors include: Graham Hancock (Fingerprints of the Gods and Underworld), David Hatcher Childress (Lost Cities and Civilizations series), Colin Wilson (From Atlantis to the Sphinx), Michael Cremo (Forbidden Archeology), William Corliss (Ancient Infrastructures), Robert Schoch (Voyages of the Pyramid Builders), John Anthony West (Serpent in the Sky), Michael Arbuthnot (Team Atlantis), Erich Von Daniken (Chariots of the Gods), and many more.Indigo Adults: Understanding Who You Are and What You Can Become
Par Kabir Jaffe, Ritama Davidson. 2009
A New Age guide for to help individuals determine if they or their family members are part of a collective…
called to a higher purpose in the Aquarian age.Are you an Indigo Adult Soul and don’t know it?A new type of person is coming into incarnation right now, almost a “next step” in human evolution. These people hold great hope for the future—the promise of a new humanity and civilization. They are visionary and creative, progressive and independent. They carry new energies and manifest different ways of thinking and feeling.These people are called “Indigo,” because the color indigo (the color seen in the “third eye”) is unusually prominent in their aura. You may be familiar with the concept of “Indigo Children” and never realized that there are also Indigo adults . . . or that you might be one of them!Do you feel different? Do you experience:Unusual sensitivities?Feelings of being separate or misunderstood?Frustrations and dissatisfactions with the “normal” world?A deep feeling, thinking, and introspective nature?A driving need to contribute to creating a better world?A powerful longing for something more?Indigo Adults is rooted in the authors’ personal experiences of the subtle dimension of life and reflects their explorations into the esoteric and mystic teachings of many traditions. This subtle dimension is not tangible to our “normal” analytical mind, and it is only beginning to be scientifically documented. Take what the authors are presenting as a hypothesis. Experiment with it, and come to your own conclusions.Indigo Adults will help you identity if you (or your children) are Indigos and understand yourself, and especially your purpose on Earth more clearly.An examination of archaeological controversies, with arguments showing evidence of prehistoric civilizations not recorded as part of human history.Are history…
books giving us the whole story? Or is civilization far more complex and older than we have been taught?Our school textbooks barely mention the 6,000-year-old Sumerian civilization, yet the latest archaeological findings at sites such as Jericho and, most recently, Gobekli Tepe in Turkey have been dated to 10,000 BC.Civilization goes back at least another 10,000 years, if we are willing to believe what our ancestors themselves claimed.The Lost Civilization Enigma reveals the truth about:Lost magnitudes to known cultures, such as the Bosnian Pyramids and the civilization of “Old Europe.”The fabled lost “golden” cities of South America and the Amazon, which are slowly being rediscovered.Fascinating examples of lost technology, such as the Antikythera Device.Atlantis and the fact that it was a real civilization.Analyzing the historical and archaeological record, best-selling author Philip Coppens demonstrates that there is substantial evidence that civilization is far older, far more advanced, and far more special than is currently accepted. Clearly, our history books have left out a great deal!John Dee's Natural Philosophy: Between Science and Religion (Routledge Library Editions: Alchemy)
Par Nicholas Clulee. 1988
This is the definitive study of John Dee and his intellectual career. Originally published in 1988, this interpretation is far…
more detailed than any that came before and is an authoritative account for anyone interested in the history, literature and scientific developments of the Renaissance, or the occult. John Dee has fascinated successive generations. Mathematician, scientist, astrologer and magus at the court of Elizabeth I, he still provokes controversy. To some he is the genius whose contributions to navigation made possible the feats of Elizabethan explorers and colonists, to others an alchemist and charlatan. Thoroughly examining Dee’s natural philosophy, this book provides a balanced evaluation of his place, and the role of the occult, in sixteenth-century intellectual history. It brings together insights from a study of Dee’s writings, the available biographical material, and his sources as reflected in his extensive library and, more importantly, numerous surviving annotated volumes from it.Astral Dynamics: The Complete Book Of Out-of-body Experiences

Par F. Mencken, Christopher Bader, Joseph Baker. 2017
The untold account of the countless Americans who believe in, or personally experience, paranormal phenomena such as ghosts, Bigfoot, UFOs…
and psychics Given the popularity of television shows such as Finding Bigfoot, Ghost Hunters, Supernatural, and American Horror Story, there seems to be an insatiable public hunger for mystical happenings. But who believes in the paranormal? Based on extensive research and their own unique personal experiences, Christopher Bader, Joseph Baker and Carson Mencken reveal that a significant number of Americans hold these beliefs, and that for better or worse, we undoubtedly live in a paranormal America. Readers will join the authors as they participate in psychic and palm readings, and have their auras photographed, join a Bigfoot hunt, follow a group of celebrity ghost hunters as they investigate claims of a haunted classroom, and visit a support group for alien abductees. The second edition includes new and updated research based on findings from the Baylor Religion survey regarding America’s relationship with the paranormal. Drawing on these diverse and compelling sources of data, the book offers an engaging account of the social, personal, and statistical stories of American paranormal beliefs and experiences. It examines topics such as the popularity of paranormal beliefs in the United States, the ways in which these beliefs relate to each other, whether paranormal beliefs will give rise to a new religion, and how believers in the paranormal differ from “average” Americans. Brimming with fascinating anecdotes and provocative new findings, Paranormal America offers an entertaining yet authoritative examination of a growing segment of American religious culture.Astral Travel: Your Guide to the Secrets of Out-of-the-Body Experiences

benefits. While on a research trip in Peru, science journalist Alice Robb became hooked on lucid dreaming—the uncanny phenomenon in which a sleeping person can realize that they&’re dreaming and even control the dreamed experience. Finding these forays both puzzling and exhilarating, Robb dug deeper into the science of dreams at an extremely opportune moment: just as researchers began to understand why dreams exist. They aren&’t just random events; they have clear purposes. They help us learn and even overcome psychic trauma. Robb draws on fresh and forgotten research, as well as her experience and that of other dream experts, to show why dreams are vital to our emotional and physical health. She explains how we can remember our dreams better—and why we should. She traces the intricate links between dreaming and creativity, and even offers advice on how we can relish the intense adventure of lucid dreaming for ourselves.Why We Dream is both a cutting-edge examination of the meaning and purpose of our nightly visions and a guide to changing our dream lives in order to make our waking lives richer, healthier, and happier.&“Robb offers a welcome antidote to the medicine administered by most sleep gurus.&” —New YorkerFact, Fiction, and Flying Saucers: The Truth Behind the Misinformation, Distortion, and Derision by Debunkers, Government Agencies, and Conspiracy Conmen
Par Stanton Friedman, Kathleen Marden. 2016
There is a clear conspiracy to deny the existence of UFOs.The mainstream media has misinformed us for years about UFO…
studies conducted by highly regarded scientists associated with some of the finest universities in the country. There is significant evidence that the U.S. government has covered up the alien presence through misinformation, distortion, obfuscation, and ridicule. Some prominent, politically connected scientists have engaged in the cover up. And a few professional writers have helped to successfully label any scientists who have been persuaded by the evidence and brave enough to take a stand as unscientific charlatans, fanatics, and kooks.Fact, Fiction, and Flying Saucers examines the wealth of archival documents that clearly demonstrate this cooperative disinformation effort and refute the false claims made by these professional scoffers. Friedman and Marden set the record straight by examining politically motivated misinformation and presenting the compelling evidence that separates fact from fiction. They reveal:The most compelling UFO evidence, including a variety of large-scale scientific studies.The current state of UFOlogy and what the future holds.The media’s role in disclosure and denial.The government scientists whose job it is to deny.The Air Force, FBI, CIA, and NSA’s involvement.Learn everything you need to know about psychedelics with this ultimate guide packed with information on popular psychedelic drugs like…

Par P. Newman. 2023
Connects the magical practice of theurgy to the time of Homer• Explores the many theurgic themes and events in the…
Odyssey and the Iliad• Analyzes the writings of Neoplatonists Porphyry and Proclus, showing how both describe the technical ritual praxis of theurgy in Homeric terms• Examines the methods of telestikē, a form of theurgic statue animation and technique to divinize the soul, and how theurgy is akin to shamanic soul flightFirst defined by the second century Chaldean Oracles, theurgy is an ancient magic practice whereby practitioners divinized the soul and achieved mystical union with a deity, the Demiurge, or the One.In this detailed study, P. D. Newman pushes the roots of theurgy all the way back before the time of Homer. He shows how the Chaldean Oracles were not only written in Homeric Greek but also in dactylic hexameter, the same meter as the epics of Homer. Linking the Greek shamanic practices of the late Archaic period with the theurgic rites of late antiquity, the author explains how both anabasis, soul ascent, and katabasis, soul descent, can be considered varieties of shamanic soul flight and how these practices existed in ancient Greek culture prior to the influx of shamanic influence from Thrace and the Hyperborean North.The author explores the many theurgic themes and symbolic events in the Odyssey and the Iliad, including the famous journey of Odysseus to Hades and the incident of the funeral pyre of Patroclus. He presents a close analysis of On the Cave of the Nymphs, Porphyry&’s commentary on Homer&’s Odyssey, as well as a detailed look at Proclus&’s symbolic reading of Homer&’s Iliad, showing how both of these Neoplatonists describe the philosophical theory and the technical ritual praxis of theurgy. Using the Chaldean Oracles as a case study, Newman examines in detail the methods of telestikē, a form of theurgic statue animation, linking this practice to ancient Egyptian and Greek traditions as well as theurgic techniques to divinize the soul.Revealing how the theurgic arts are far older than the second century, Newman&’s study not only examines the philosophical theory of theurgy but also the actual ritual practices of the theurgists, as described in their own words.
