“Hauntings: Dispelling the Ghosts Who Run Our Lives” by James Hollis

"Do any of us really believe that we are here to make money and then die? Does life matter, in the end, and if so, how, and in what fashion? What guiding intelligence weaves the threads of our individual biographies? What hauntings of the invisible world invigorate, animate, and direct the multiple narratives of daily life? In Hauntings, James Hollis considers one’s transformation through the invisible world—how we are all governed by the presence of invisible forms—spirits, ghosts, ancestral and parental influences, inner voices, dreams, impulses, untold stories, complexes, synchronicities, and mysteries—which move through us, and through history. He offers a way to understand them psychologically, examining the persistence of the past in influencing our present, conscious lives...>>

“Heldentod: The Nazi Culture of Death ” by Paul Garson

"Heldentod: The Nazi Culture of Death graphically focuses on the Third Reich’s conception and promotion of the “Hero’s Death” as it fostered and then fueled a cataclysm of apocalyptic carnage and destruction. This underlying driving force, ultimately self-destructive, is shown infusing both State-sponsored propaganda and echoed by the personal battlefield images captured by its soldiers' personal cameras. In so doing it confronts the matter of subject vs. observer and their intimate connection. The original, often one-of-a-kind and never before seen photos also serve as a searing documentation of man’s inhumanity to man and a stark warning to future generations."...>>

“You Can Have It All” by Arnold M. Patent

"The game of life most of us are playing is not the only game even though we have convinced ourselves it is. In this game each of the players is separate, independent and usually competing in a hostile and unforgiving world. We often feel like victims. This book describes another way of playing the game—one based on Universal Principles—that is natural to us and awaiting our remembrance. The format of the book is a re-enactment of a typical weekend workshop during which the Principles are described and practiced. We are not separate entities. We are all part of a singular experience: One that is loving, abundant, joyful and mutually supportive. The Universal Principles and...>>

“The Satanism Scare” edited by James T. Richardson, Joel Best and David G. Bromley

"Although there is growing concern over Satanism as a threat to American life, the topic has received surprisingly little serious attention. Recognizing this, the editors of this volume have selected papers from a wide variety of disciplines, broadly covering contemporary aspects of Satanism from the vantage points of studies in folklore, cults, religion, deviance, rock music, rumor, and the mass media. All contributors are skeptical of claims that a large, powerful satanic conspiracy can be substantiated. Their research focuses instead on claims about Satanism and on the question of whose interests are served by such claims. Several papers consider the impact of anti-Satanism campaigns on public opinion, law enforcement and civil litigation, child protection services,...>>
