"The New Hermetics: 21st Century Magick for Illumination and Power" by Jason Augustus Newcomb (scan)

"Study and practice that teaches the science of illumination and the ability to alter reality. The ancient Egyptian form of Hermetic philosophy was that the mind shapes reality. The New Hermetics extends that philosophy - the universe is a great mind or consciousness, and we are a part of that consciousness; therefore by learning to control the mind, we learn to control our part of the universe. With updated versions of the ancient Rosicrucian brotherhood's 10 levels of initiation, combined with ancient and modern mind-expanding techniques such as visualization and NLP (neuro-linguistic programming), The New Hermetics progressively gives initiates power over their minds and world.

“The Book of Enoch: Scripture, Heresy or What?” by Brian Godawa

"The Book of Enoch: Scripture, Heresy or What?" by Brian Godawa

"Did you know the ancient book of 1Enoch is quoted and referenced many places in the New Testament? So why isn't it a part of the Bible? Is it a conspiracy? Many Christians are afraid to attribute truth value to ancient books outside the canon of the Bible. They fear that the authority of Scripture will be compromised. Others want to believe every legend as if it were true because they think it makes God more miraculous. The book of 1 Enoch is one of those controversial books that has a long history of squabbling over its veracity and influence on Bible interpretation. This is an introduction to the ancient book of 1Enoch, its content, its history, its affirmation...>>

“Arguing Science: A Dialogue on the Future of Science and Spirit” by Rupert Seldrake and Michael Shermer

"Arguing Science: A Dialogue on the Future of Science and Spirit" by Rupert Seldrake and Michael Shermer

"Two controversial authors debate the nature and methods of science, its dogmas, and its future. Rupert Sheldrake argues that science needs to free itself from materialist dogma while Michael Shermer contends that science, properly conceived, is a materialistic enterprise; for science to look beyond materialist explanations is to betray science and engage in superstition. Issues discussed include: materialism and its role in science, whether belief in God is compatible with a scientific perspective, and parapsychology. Michael Shermer is Editor-in-Chief of Skeptic magazine and the author of numerous books including Skeptic. Rupert Sheldrake is a biologist and author of ten books including his most recent, Science Set Free, which challenges scientific dogma."...>>
