 | | Advanced Magick for Beginners | | | A new paradigm that delivers a genuine transformation of occultism. The author assumes no previous knowledge, only a willingness to explore what magick offers, yet its apparent to anyone with a background in the subject that Alan Chapman is drawing on a wide range of experience, from classical Crowleyean Magick, to eastern metaphysics, and back again to Discordianism and Chaos Magick. Chapmans writing-style is humorous, direct, seductively logical, and his enthusiasm for the benefits of magick is both tangible and infectious. The novice magician will indeed find themselves equipped to commence all sorts of magickal operations: trance work, enchantment, divination, and even some of the higher forms of spiritual development. To experienced magicians, Chapman offers a subtler challenge: he revitalises magick by cutting it free from the extreme relativism Chaos Magick bequeathed, provocatively redefining it as: the art, science and culture of experiencing truth.

| | | |  | | Traveling : An Accidental Experts How To Leave Your Body Handbook | | | Lucid dreaming, astral projection, out-of-body experiences... There is much philosophical baggage implicit in these terms, but in this refreshing and humorous book Alan Guiden casts it all aside to present the most intelligible guide to 'traveling' outside the body that has yet appeared in print. An accidental adept at 'traveling' since his childhood, Guiden shares his techniques and tricks for falling asleep without relinquishing control, transferring our consciousness from the sleeping physical to the non-physical body. Breaking down the process into seven clear steps, he also provides invaluable advice on the crucial differences between physical experience and non-physical 'travel', plus guidance on successful interaction with the denizens of the non-physical world. Guiden writes in a wry and joking style, demonstrating firsthand the playful mental attitude required of us to become a successful 'traveler'. This book will prove a fascinating and invaluable guide to anyone interested in learning the secrets of non-physical experience from a naturally-talented master. Alan Guiden is an average person. He is like any other person that you may pass on the street or see in your mirror, with one notable exception: Alan Guiden began to fall out of his physical body at the age of eight. Although the experiences were initially frightening, and after many years of searching for answers, his determination to understand what was happening made him an accidental 'out of body' expert. Now, the how-to's of non-physical travel, and Alan's story, are revealed. His characteristic style of offbeat humour and jargon-free language will guide you through your own nonphysical adventures.

| | | |  | | Spirit of the Tarot : Numbers as Initiators of the Major Arcana | | | This is a new exploration of the Tarot, which reveals the esoteric numerological links underlying this ancient system and connects the teaching of the Tarot to the initiatic journey of the Soul. If you are aspiring to connect with the mysteries of our life on this planet or you are already a disciple in some school of spiritual attainment, this is a book which will illuminate your way. As we explore beyond those physical emotional and mental aspects that we call the personality, we find another energy that is not so easy to define and which seems to move us at a deeper level; this is the Soul. When we are receptive to the Soul's mystery we can start to connect to the universal collective energy of the Spirit. The different stages in the fusion of personality and Soul and the unknown, unseen alchemy of transmutation from matter to Spirit are illustrated by the twenty-two cards of the Major Arcana. The symbols are explained and the deeper esoteric meaning of each card is explored with the help of number. This provides practical steps that can be applied to the everyday lives of those who seek greater consciousness. Claudine Aegerter started Transcendental Meditation in 1970, then joined the National Federation of Spiritual Healers, where she realised her abilities to channel. She then started teaching and giving workshops in esoteric subjects. As a leader in her field, a counsellor and a healer, she founded the Connaissance School of Numerology in 1993, bringing unique insights into the initiation of consciousness to many around the world. Berenice Benjelloun has worked as a professional artist, Homeopath, workshop leader and Numerologist. The inspiration and underlying energy behind all her occupations has always been the promotion of the expanding consciousness of mankind. She teaches at The Connaissance School of Numerology and is Vice chair of the Association Internationale de Numerologues. (more...) |

| | | |  | | Mastering the Core Teachings of the Buddha : An Unusually Hardcore Dharma Book | | | The very idea that the teachings can be mastered will arouse controversy within Buddhist circles. Even so, Ingram insists that enlightenment is an attainable goal, once our fanciful notions of it are stripped away, and we have learned to use meditation as a method for examining reality rather than an opportunity to wallow in self-absorbed mind-noise. Ingram sets out concisely the difference between concentration-based and insight (vipassana) meditation; he provides example practices; and most importantly he presents detailed maps of the states of mind we are likely to encounter, and the stages we must negotiate as we move through clearly-defined cycles of insight. Its easy to feel overawed, at first, by Ingram's assurance and ease in the higher levels of consciousness, but consistently he writes as a down-to-earth and compassionate guide, and to the practitioner willing to commit themselves this is a glittering gift of a book.
