Roswell: The Ultimate Cold Case
Par Thomas Carey, Donald Schmitt. 2020
“[The authors] have, like each whistleblower before them, paid a price for their . . . amplification of the truth. . . . The most profound…
event in human history.” —Joseph G. Buchman, Ph.D, moderator for the Citizen Hearing on DisclosureTwo of the world’s leading investigators declare definitively that the Roswell Incident happened and present their closing arguments.For more than seventy years, the crash at Roswell and its ensuing controversies and cover-ups have been investigated. Yet despite continually mounting evidence, there are still disbelievers. Roswell: The Ultimate Cold Case is Carey and Schmitt’s final and commanding word on the case in which they declare victory once and for all.The government has changed their official story on Roswell more than a dozen times, but the witnesses have not recanted. The evidence has not gone away. And won’t go away. The Roswell Incident is the most hotly debated and investigated UFO crash in history with seemingly endless evidence, and eyewitnesses coming forward even years later. Finally, late in life people feel safe enough or feel duty bound to reveal what they know, saw, and heard.Roswell: The Ultimate Cold Case will bring all new exclusive eye witness testimonies to light as well as cover the:Connection of astronauts Edgar Mitchell and Neil Armstrong to Roswell.Connection of Clinton, Carter, Goldwater, Schiff, and Richardson to Roswell.First time artist conception of impact site with craft and bodies based on firsthand testimony.First time full-size model of crash survivor based on eyewitness testimony.And more eyewitness corroboration.“There is no one on this planet who knows more about the Roswell incident than these two guys.” —Larry Landsman, director of special projects for the Syfy ChannelDreaming While Awake: Techniques for 24-Hour Lucid Dreaming
Par Arnold Mindell. 2000
“Mindell examines addictions & relationships, time travel, lucid healing & preventive medicine, and Dreaming as world work.” —The Dream Network…
JournalWhat if you could dream twenty-four hours a day, even while awake? According to innovative psychotherapist Arnold Mindell, Ph.D., we already do. The seeds of dreaming arise in every moment of the day, in body symptoms, problems, relationships, subtle feelings, interactions, random thoughts, and fantasies. We’re getting countless little cues from the unconscious every minute. All are signs from the world of dreaming. And, according to Mindell, we can be in this state of lucid dreaming all day long.In Dreaming While Awake, Mindell shows how to become aware of these “flirts” from the dreamworld and how to interpret their message. The goal, he says, is to be wide awake and lucid 24 hours a day in the midst of this unending dreamfield of information.Practicing twenty-four-hour lucid dreaming:Helps you solve personal, physical, and emotional problemsServes as a preventive medicine for relationships and health, helping you catch the earliest warning signs before they turn into problemsHelps resolve conflicts in relationships, families, large groups, corporations, even politicsDreaming is the mystical source of reality, says Mindell. “My goal is to make the Dreaming roots of reality so accessible, so visceral, that your conscious mind will give you back your right to dream.”The Arcana of Freemasonry: A History of Masonic Signs and Symbols
Par Albert Churchward. 2005
In this illustrated volume, an expert in arcane symbolism traces Masonic history from Ancient Egypt to the twentieth century through…
more than one hundred symbols.The Freemasons have profoundly altered the course of history. Their belief in liberty and equality influenced both the French and American Revolutions, as evidenced in part by the symbols on our currency. In The Arcana of Freemasonry, first published in 1915, Albert Churchward weaves a tale of Masonry’s origins in ancient Egypt and its continuance through history—all told via Masonic symbols and symbolism.From Egyptian history and Mayan relief work through Greek mathematicians, philosophers, and metaphysicians, Churchward traces the development of the most basic symbols of Freemasonry. He also reveals the hidden symbolism found in the signs and tools of modern Freemasonry and helps readers find hidden meanings in all areas of life from art and architecture to geometry and poetry.The History of Magic
Par Éliphas Lévi. 2001
An extensive classic work on the origins of ceremonial magic throughout the world&’s many cultures and religions. French occultists Alphones…
Louis Constant (1810–1875) was born in Paris to a shoemaker father. At age twenty-two, he entered the seminary at Saint Sulpice for an education that would prepare him for the priesthood. While he did become ordained a deacon, he found that his doubts regarding the doctrine of the Catholic Church precluded him from completing his ordination. A week before he was due to take orders as a priest, he left the Church and returned to civilian life. Through the 1850s and 1860s, Constant developed and disseminated his growing ideas of the occult, mysticism, and the Kabbalistic school of thought. He became a ceremonial magician and developed a social circle of other mystical and occultist thinkers. Eschewing the charlatan&’s tricks and parlor illusions, Lévi believed that the practice of ceremonial magic required a strong will, psychic force, and powerful imagination to discover true science and influence reality. And anyone who attempted to use magic for personal gain would lead to their own destruction. Writing under the name Éliphas Lévi—a literal translation of his name Alphonse Lewis into Hebrew—he began to share his ideas on magic with the public. In 1860, he began work on The History of Magic, an assessment and analysis of sacred magic through many past cultures. By exploring the magical components of the pagans, Kabbalists, ancient Greeks, Chinese, Indians, Catholics, and many other groups, Lévi sought to find the secret wisdom hidden within each. He also explored the secret traditions of the Illuminati, Freemasons, and the Knights Templar, among many others.The History of Magic is an essential test for any student of ceremonial magic, revealing the truths behind the fables, allegories, and parables of these cultural traditions. Translated into English by the British poet and mystic, A.W. Waite, it was published posthumously in 1913. Waite was one of the creators of the well-known Rider-Waite Tarot Deck, one of the most widely used tarot decks in the world.Asatru: A Beginner's Guide to the Heathen Path

Par Bernard Haisch. 2010
“If you think that science has nothing to do with God, and vice versa, read this book—and you just may…
change your mind.” —Professor Peter Sturrock, Dept. Physics, Stanford UniversityIn this engrossing new book, Dr. Bernard Haisch contends that there is a purpose and an underlying intelligence behind the Universe, one that is consistent with modern science, especially the Big Bang and evolution. It is based on recent discoveries that there are numerous coincidences and fine-tunings of the laws of nature that seem extraordinarily unlikely.A more rational concept of God is called for. As astrophysicist Sir James Jeans wrote, “the Universe begins to look more like a great thought than like a great machine.”Despite bestsellers by Christopher Hitchens, Richard Dawkins, and Sam Harris that have denounced the evils of religion and proclaimed that science has shown that there is no God, The Purpose-Guided Universe shows how one can believe in God and science.“Committed atheists, traditional Christians, or hard-core Muslims will no doubt try to dismiss this book . . . provocative.” —Prof. Owen Gingerich, Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics, author, God’s Universe“Neither science nor theology can consider itself informed without taking into account Haisch’s views.” —Larry Dossey, MD, author, Healing Words“Merits being read and pondered by everyone seeks deeper meaning underlying science’s ever more astounding view of the world.” —Dr. Ervin Laszlo, author, Science and the Akashic Field“An enlightening exploration.” —Julia Ann Charpentier, ForeWord ReviewsSerpent of Light: The Movement of the Earth's Kundalini and the Rise of the Female Light
Par Drunvalo Melchizedek. 2008
“Serpent of Light is a masterful description of the great Earth activations that are occurring during the end of the…
Mayan Calendar.” —Barbara Hand Clow, author of The Mayan CodeEvery 13,000 years on Earth a sacred and secret event takes place that changes everything. Mother Earth’s Kundalini energy emerges from its resting place in the planet’s core and moves like a snake across the surface of our world. Once at home in ancient Lemuria, it moved to Atlantis, then to the Himalayan mountains of India and Tibet, and with every relocation changed our idea of what spiritual means. And gender. And heart. This time, with much difficulty, the “Serpent of Light” has moved to the Andes Mountains of Chile and Peru.Multi-dimensional, multi-disciplined and multi-lived, for the first time in this book, Drunvalo begins to tell his stories of thirty-five years spent in service to Mother Earth. Follow him around the world as he follows the guidance of Ascended Masters, his two spheres of light, and his own inner growing knowledge. His story is a living string of ceremonies to help heal hearts, align energies, right ancient imbalances, and balance the living Earth’s Unity Consciousness Grid—in short, to increase our awareness of the indivisibility of life in the universe. We are all—rocks and people and interdimensional beings—one!“Life may seem to be business as usual, but it is not. We are changing fast . . . Remember this for life is going to present stranger things to you in your lifetime, and they all have meaning and purpose . . . Only Mother Earth and ancient Maya know what’s going to happen.” —from Serpent of LightThe Mysteries of Druidry: Celtic Mysticism, Theory & Practice
Par Brendan Myers. 2006
“A clear, accessible, and forthright exploration of Celtic tradition as the foundation of a personal path of mystical transformation.” —John…
Michael Greer, former Grand Archdruid, Ancient Order of Druids in America, and author of The Druidry HandbookThe Druids were the mystics, philosophers, and magicians of the ancient Celtic world. Their spirituality was borne from their near-worship of poetry and music, their warrior prowess, and the world of nature. The Mysteries of Druidry reveals this mystical romanticism as it was in ancient times, and shows various ways to bring it to life today. It includes:A professionally researched survey of Druidic history, tradition, and customsDetailed descriptions of the mysteries of Celtic spirituality, including the Sacred Truth, the Great Marriage, the Hero’s Journey, and the OtherworldPractical guidance for meditation and ceremony, for individuals and for groupsThe Celtic story of the creation of the world, presented together with a plan for re-enacting the story in ritual“An exemplary look at one man’s approach to Druidism, with excellent food for thought and suggestions for group ritual and personal practice . . . His personal stories of working with and discovering the spirits of the land are inspiring and useful guides to the readers.” —Erynn Laurie, author of A Circle of Stones, cofounder of the Inis Glas Hedge School“With gentle clarity, [Myers] writes not only of myth, folklore, and Celtic history, but also of and for our Celtic present. With his words, he inspires, calling the reader to breathe in the songs of the ancestors, and so to sing those songs with both a celebratory pride and a profound relevance for today.” —Emma Restall Orr, Joint Chief of the British Druid Order; author of Kissing the HagLucid Dreaming, Plain and Simple: Tips and Techniques for Insight, Creativity, and Personal Growth (Plain & Simple)

Par Robert Salas. 2014
“A compelling and heartfelt journey through the minefields and thickets of government secrecy . . . a concise history of the modern UFO…
phenomenon.” —Thomas J. Carey, bestselling coauthor of Witness to RoswellIn 1969 the US Air Force issued a statement that read‚ “No UFO reported, investigated and evaluated by the Air Force was ever an indication of threat to our national security.” This statement is patently false. It has been proven untrue by the testimony of many military officers and airmen and documentation of incidents involving UFOs and nuclear weapons, testimonies of which the US Air Force was fully aware. Unidentified details many of these testimonies, some for the first time.As partial justification for its position, the Air Force cites a University of Colorado study that was contracted and paid for by federal funds. Unidentified reveals how this study was actually just another part of the plan to cover up the reality of the UFO phenomenon. For the first time, Unidentified publishes evidence that the investigators for the Colorado study knew about the UFO-related missile shutdown incidents but did not investigate them or include them in their final report.Robert Salas, a retired United States Air Force Officer, witnessed first-hand a UAP visiting and disabling nuclear missiles at that Malmstrom Air Force Base and shares his experience as well as the many incidents of the last 80 years of similar visits that have been covered-up.A new expanded edition will be published November 2023 under the title UAPs and the Nuclear Puzzle.“A sober yet heartfelt narrative which dares you to dismiss it without due consideration.” —Fortean TimesWild Wisdom: Zen Masters, Mountain Monks & Rebellious Eccentrics Reflect on the Healing Power of Nature

Par Nick Redfern. 2007
The British paranormal investigator recounts his five-year journey through America in pursuit of the monstrous unknown in this memoir.For centuries,…
people across the world have had a fascination with monsters and strange creatures.

Par Scott Roberts, John Ward. 2014
“An intriguing narrative . . . A complementary blend of scripture, ancient legends, history, and archaeology, it will stir your curiosity.” —Lorraine Evans,…
Egyptologist and author of Burying the DeadIn this groundbreaking work, the authors reexamine humanity’s most enduring account of bondage, emancipation, and freedom. The Great Exodus is the story of how one man, empowered by divine epiphany, brought the mighty ancient kingdom of Egypt to its knees. For thousands of years, this story has bolstered the faithful of three major religions, though little historical data confirms it. So the question must be asked: Did it ever really happen?Roberts, a historian and theologian, and Ward, an archaeologist, Egyptologist, and anthropologist, dig deeply into historical records to answer the most vexing questions:Is there any historical evidence for the biblical account of the Great Exodus?Was Moses a real person?Where is the Biblical Mount Sinai?What is the Ark of the Covenant, and where did it come from?Why did Moses write about the Serpent and the Nephilim?Is there a Templar and Masonic connection to the events and personages in the story?Did the Exodus take place under Amenhotep II or Amenhotep III, two pharaohs of the same royal house separated by two generations and eighty-odd years? Or were Thutmoses III, Hatshepsut, and Amenhotep Son of Hapu at the core of the action? The authors present two opposing, yet strangely interlaced historical accounts for the Exodus, naming the historical pharaohs and surprising candidates for the historical Moses. While Roberts presents an account that finds its moorings in the efficacy of scriptural historicity, Ward presents a new and completely unique theory for the Exodus and its cast of characters.The Essential Mystics, Poets, Saints, and Sages: A Wisdom Treasury

Par Bob Curran. 2007
Almost since the dawn of time, the image of the Green Man—the carven enigmatic head surrounded by leaves and foliage—has…
both intrigued and mystified viewers and folklorists alike. Appearing in churches, taverns, and even on stately buildings, the carving seems shrouded in supernatural obscurity. Is it merely a fertility symbol, or is it something much deeper, which calls for a response from us all? Though it seems a predominantly Celtic icon, does the concept of the Green Man also appear in other places and in other cultures? What is its relevance for the world today? In an absorbing new book, Dr. Bob Curran traces the many strands that make up this enigmatic image. Tracing its origins from prehistoric times, he explores its significance in the medieval world and discusses its development in the modern world. He also investigates the image’s psychological appeal, which has allowed it to continue down through the ages, and, pulling from a variety of sources, its impact upon other cultures in various parts of the world. From heroic archetypes such as Robin Hood to Demigods such as Herne the Hunter; from the King of the Woods to the Jack in the Green, Walking With the Green Man examines the interconnection of man and Nature throughout history. Whether as a man amongst the trees, a man of the trees, or a symbol of Nature used to express secrets and solidarity, the Green Man’s visage is traced throughout lands and cultures. Walking With the Green Man will appeal to all those who are interested in the image of the Green Man as an example of symbolic art, as well as to those who are interested in folklore and the interplay between folklore and culture. It is a fascinating study, which not only examines the history of the icon but also its development within human perception.
