“The Original I Ching: An Authentic Translation of the Book of Changes” by Margaret J. Pearson

"The I Ching's purpose is universal: to provide good counsel to its users in making decisions during times of change. Since its origins about 3,000 years ago, it has become a compendium of wisdom used by people of many cultures and eras. This groundbreaking new translation by Dr. Margaret Pearson is based on the text created during the first centuries of the Zhou Dynasty, study of documents showing how it was used in the dynasty, and on current archaeological research findings. Her translation removes centuries of encrusted inaccuracies to better reveal the I Ching's core truths for today's readers. Whether you are interested in trying this millennia-tested method of making wise choices or in understanding the...>>

“The Visionary I Ching: A Book of Changes for Intuitive Decision Making” by Paul O’Brien

"The Visionary I Ching is a modern illustrated version of the world's oldest and wisest book, designed to facilitate intuitive and decision-making. This orientation of the "Book of Changes" helps the reader balance logic with an intuition that is informed by the timeless wisdom of the great Chinese classic, which for millennia has served as a sourcebook for Taoist philosophy, Chinese medicine and the martial arts.

“Opening the Doors of Perception: The Key to Cosmic Awareness” by Anthony Peake

"Opening the Doors of Perception will update Huxley's work and suggest process and procedures whereby man can, indeed, perceive reality in its true glory. The book will be in two sections. The first will discuss in great detail a concept I first introduced in my book The Daemon: A Guide to Your Extraordinary Secret Self. I termed this the "scale of transcendence" and suggested that there is a scale of perceptions whereby the doors of perception are slowly opened and, bit by bit, they reveal the true nature of "reality" as suggested by most esoteric teachings and mystic traditions. Most human beings perceive the doors as being securely closed. However there are occasions when...>>
