4. Advanced Yoga Practices: Easy Lessons for Ecstatic Living - Yogani 1994
The premise of Yoga is simple. There is an outer reality and an inner one, and our nervous system is the doorway between them. Effective Yoga practices stimulate and open that doorway. The result? Peace, creativity, happiness, and a steady rise of ecstatic bliss radiating from within us...
Advanced Yoga Practices (AYP) brings together the most effective methods of Yoga in a flexible integrated system that anyone can use. Instructions are given in plain English for deep meditation, spinal breathing pranayama, bodily manipulations (asanas, mudras and bandhas), tantric sexual practices, and other methods that are systematically applied to swing open the door of our nervous system to permanent higher experience. This is a non-sectarian approach that is compatible with any belief system or religious background.
There are over 240 easy-to-follow lessons here, including many hands-on questions and answers between Yoga practitioners and the author. Whether you are a beginner or a veteran in Yoga, the AYP lessons can serve as a useful resource as you travel along your chosen path.
Extensive reader feedback is provided in the book. Here are a few excerpts:

6. Out of Body Experiences: How to Have Them and What to Expect - Robert Peterson, Charles Tart 1997
Out of Body Experiences could be summed up in Robert Peterson's own words: it's "what the books didn't tell me." Many people have tried to have out of body experiences (OBEs) and are discouraged when things don't go exactly as the books suggest they should. Peterson assures readers that anyone can have an OBE, and relates the difficulties and discoveries in his personal quest for them. His anecdotal, reassuring approach makes the whole experience seem much more accessible than do other books on the subject, which tend to read like textbooks. Peterson also addresses odd and potentially startling aspects of the OBE that the more technical books neglect to mention. Out of Body Experiences is a casual, friendly approach to astral travel that should be the first book anyone attempting an OBE reads, and should be high on the reading list of anyone who has tried unsuccessfully to leave his body.
7. Flying Without a Broom: Astral Projection and the Astral World - D.J. Conway 2002
In this book the author shows how anyone can have the key to a profound astral experience. She shows in clear and accessible terms how this natural part of out psyc hic make-up can be cultivated to enhance both spiritual and daily life.

11. Jyotisha-Siddhanta-Sara: The Esstenials of Hindu/Vedic Astrology - rama r rao 1994
Curiosity to know one`s future is both natural and universal; and therefore any method which attempts to unravel the mystery of the future has an attraction for the future has an Astrology, palmistry, numerology and various extrasensory processes which claim to predict the future have a popular appeal. An elementary knowledge of astronomy and a historical perspective are indispensable for a beginner. After going through the authoritative texts like Brihat Jataka, Brihat Parasara, Horasastra, Phaladipika etc., one arrives at the conclusion that the variables one has to tackle are far too many and the interpretations far too numerous and the task of integrating the diverse material is too complex. The subject requires deep study and one has to develop an insight and intuition to become a successful astrologer. The author has tried to present the essentials of Hindu Astrology with as objective an approach possible.
12. Arcana Mundi: Magic and the Occult in the Greek and Roman Worlds: A Collection of Ancient Texts - Georg Luck 2006
A hugely important achievement." -- Daniel Ogden, author of Magic, Witchcraft, and Ghosts in the Greek and Roman Worlds
"This lengthy volume contains wide-ranging samples of material from literature, philosophy, and real-life practitioners of magic... There is immense food for thought here in many aspects of the field." -- American Journal of Philology
"A 'must' for mythology courses and the classical civilization curriculum!" -- Classical Outlook
"An excellent work. It will rapidly and deservedly become one of the standard works on magic and the occult in the Greek and Roman worlds." -- Ancient Philosophy
"An excellent translation of ancient texts on the subject, but it's a lot more than that. It's a glimpse into the minds of the everyday people of the times and what made them turn, what made them stop, what made them look over their shoulders." -- Courier-Gazette, Rockland, Maine
"An indispensable guide." -- Bradford Lee Eden, Classical Bulletin
"No one currently at work in ancient magic or related fields can remotely compare with Luck for the breadth and profundity of his knowledge of the literary texts... or for the humility and lightness of touch with which he conveys his scholarship." -- Daniel Ogden, Magic, Ritual, and Witchcraft
13. The Big Book of the Weird Wild West: How the West was Really Won - john whalen 1998
Written by John Whalen, Jonathan Vankin, Rick Klaw and various; art by Russ Heath, Lennie Mace, Randy DuBurke and various
We've all heard stories of the Wild West: pioneers, stagecoach robberies, and tough frontier lawmen. But things can get plenty strange when people are on their own in a strange land, and this Big Book tells the the bizarre tales you don't usual hear about the conquering of the North American continent. Among the highlights: covert cannibalism, mummified murderers, sadism, lynch mobs, overt cannibalism, bad luck curses, unexplained decapitations, mysterious airships, cults, and communes. Along the way you'll meet Judge Roy Bean, the Donner Party, the James Gang, and a nice fella named Liver Eatin' Johnson. Let's see Ken Burns make a documentary out of this.
14. The Encyclopedia of American Law Enforcement - Michael Newton 2007
In the ancient Greco-Roman world, it was common practice to curse or bind an enemy or rival by writing an incantation on a tablet and dedicating it to a god or spirit. These curses or binding spells, commonly called defixiones were intended to bring other people under the power and control of those who commissioned them. More than a thousand such texts, written between the 5th Century B.C.E. and the 5th Century C.E., have been discovered from North Africa to England, and from Syria to Spain. Extending into every aspect of ancient life--athletic and theatrical competitions, judicial proceedings, love affairs, business rivalries, and the recovery of stolen property--they shed light on a new dimension of classical study previously inaccessible. Here, for the first time, these texts have been translated into English with a substantial translator's introduction revealing the cultural, social, and historical context for the texts. This book will interest historians, classicists, scholars of religion, and those concerned with ancient magic.
15. Weapons of Mass Destruction: An Encyclopedia of Worldwide Policy, Technology, and History (2 volume set) - Eric Croddy, James Wirtz 2005
The first accessible reference to cover the history, context, current issues, and key concepts surrounding biological, chemical, and nuclear weapons. The United States has conducted some 900 atomic tests since 1945 and has stockpiled enough smallpox vaccine to inoculate most of the U.S. population. The topic of weapons of mass destruction is perhaps the most controversial subject of our time. Policy debates require understanding of key issues, concepts, and events. A collection of information on everything from aerosols to zones of peace, these two volumes cover historical background, technology, and strategic implications of biological, chemical, and nuclear weapons, thus providing facts, terms, and context needed to participate in contemporary policy debate. This encyclopedia is the only comprehensive reference dedicated to the three types of weapons of mass destruction. With over 500 entries arranged alphabetically, volume one covers biological and chemical weapons, while volume two focuses on nuclear weapons. Experts from eight countries cover issues related to these weapons, policies, strategies, technologies, delivery vehicles, arms control concepts, treaties, and key historical figures and locations. Entries are written to make difficult concepts easy to understand by cutting through military and scientific jargon. Students, lay readers, scientists, and government policy makers are provided with the broad range of information needed to place today's policy discussions in proper strategic or historical context.
16. The Peloponnesian War (Oxford World's Classics) By Thucydides, P. J. Rhodes, Martin Hammond 2009
The greatest historian that ever lived." Such was Macaulay's assessment of Thucydides (c. 460-400 BC) and his history of the Peloponnesian War, the momentous struggle between Athens and Sparta that lasted for twenty-seven years from 431 to 404 BC, involved virtually the whole of the Greek world, and ended in the fall of Athens. A participant in the war himself, Thucydides brings to his history an awesome intellect, brilliant narrative, and penetrating analysis of the nature of power, as it affects both states and individuals. Of the prose writers of the ancient world, Thucydides has had more lasting influence on western thought than all but Plato and Aristotle. This new edition combines a masterly new translation by Martin Hammond with comprehensive supporting material, including summaries of individual Books; textual notes; a comprehensive analytical index; an appendix on weights, measures and distances, money, and calendars; ten maps; an up-to-date bibliography; and an illuminating introduction by P.J. Rhodes.

19. ANTIGRAVITY: THE DREAM MADE REALITY THE STORY OF JOHN R. R. SEARL - BY JOHN A. THOMAS, JR.
This book contains information that was received by me from John R. R. Searl
about his life and inventions. Searl has had an antigravity device since 1946. He also
developed a generator of electricity that uses no input power as we know it.
There has been much written about Searl and his work but most of it is
misinformation or guesswork. Many people have tried to duplicate his work but none
have succeeded. All information in this book is correct and directly from the source,
Prof. John R. R. Searl himself. This book is the story of a man who is trying to move
the world into the future... and has been for years.
20. Macmillan Encyclopedia of Energy - John Zumerchik 2001..($444.97)
With much media attention on the energy problems in California and the current debate on U.S. energy policy, this three-volume set is a timely contribution to this subject. This work takes an interdisciplinary approach to the study of energy, offering 253 articles representing the fields of physics, chemistry, biology, economics, and ethics. The articles, which range in length from two to 20 pages, were contributed by international scientists and educators. Traditional fuels such as gasoline and diesel are covered, as are alternative fuels such as methanol and hydrogen, alternative fuels for vehicles such as hybrid and electric cars, and alternative energy sources such as wind, solar, and fuel cells. Topics also include energy concepts such as electricity, thermodynamics, combustion, and catalysts, with basic formulas for essential physical and chemical processes. In addition, there are 60 biographies of scientists and engineers who made major contributions to the understanding of energy and energy technologies, among them Rudolph Diesel, Enrico Fermi, Pierre Laplace, and Alessandro Volta. The text features numerous photographs, illustrations, sidebars, and easy-to-use charts and graphs. All articles include bibliographies, and Volume 3 contains an energy time line and a good index. Bits and pieces of similar information can be found in the Encyclopedia of Environmental Science (LJ 2/15/01), but overall this is a unique resource. Aimed at public, high school, and undergraduate libraries, it should be purchased if funds and interest are sufficient. Eva Lautemann, Georgia Perimeter Coll. Lib., Clarkston
21. OUTSIDE THE BOX: SPACE AND TERRESTRIAL TRANSPORTATION AND
ENERGY TECHNOLOGIES FOR THE 21ST CENTURUY - Theodore C. Loder, III
This paper reviews the development of antigravity research in the US and notes how research activity seemed to
disappear by the mid 1950s. It then addresses recently reported scientific findings and witness testimonies - that
show us that this research and technology is alive and well and very advanced. The revelations of findings in this
area will alter dramatically our 20th
century view of physics and technology and must be considered in planning for both energy and transportation needs in the 21st century

23. Pentagon Aliens - William R. Lyne 2007
Everyone into UFO's, aliens and the Illuminati should read this
book. This guy reads very believable. He believes that the CIA
with strong Nazi and Illuminati influence created flying saucers
and that a l l the sources saying that they're "alien" is a giant
subterfuge.
Don't give up while reading the first 68 pages. That's a lot of
basic electronics and Tesla. Then on page 68 he starts writing
his own story, apparently not needing to impress us any more as
to whether or not he's a genius. He relaxes and reads as very
believable. (I hope it's not actually a different author.)
What Bill says will make you view everything you experience
in UFOlogy differently, or at least question a little more.
24. Aliens Among Us: A Ufo Conspiracy Hypothesis In A Religious Mode - By John White
Let's play "What If." Recently, John Lear provoked widespread discussion
and debate in the UFO research community by his hypothesis that aliens
(or "Grays") and what is presumed to be a CIA/MJ-12 amalgam have had
a longtime joint venture in which hidden underground bases for alien
activities play a part. Lear characterizes this as nefarious. I agree with Lear
and see aspects to the UFO abduction experience which indicate there may
be even more vast and sinister dimensions to it than Lear has described.
Here is the "worst case scenario" I project.
The thrust of UFO research is into the metaphysical, where things are not
always as they seem. In the case of the Gray abducting aliens, my
judgment is this: they are diabolical and completely untrustworthy. I get a
strong of sense of conspiracy by them--a vast, subversive plot of long
duration and careful coordination which aims at nothing less than the
complete enslavement of humanity. I see nothing--absolutely nothing--
about their words and deeds which indicates anything but deceit, evasion,
misdirection, manipulation, exploitation and total disregard for human
values, personal property and our concept of respect for the inviolability of
person hood. We humans consider kidnapping and violation of civil rights
to be criminal, rape to be loathsome , brainwashing and mind control to be
heinous, lying to be despicable, unauthorized surgical invasion of the body
to be monstrous, and damage to personal property to be vandalism. The
Gray aliens exhibit such behavior. On the other hand, I know of no
behavior by them which is clearly intended to show respect for our person
hood, property, civil rights, moral values and concern for truthful speech;
they routinely violate all that. As I view the situation, it's a ghastly picture
which emerges. It is not me rely alien; it is profoundly evil in precisely the
sense given in the Book of Revelation and other sacred scriptures which
describe a battle between the forces of light and the forces of darkness for
the salvation or damnation of humanity and the planet. So when abducting
aliens say, "We're here to serve you," I take it to mean they have have cookbook recipes in mind.

26. Electrogravitics II, Validating Reports on a New Propulsion Methodology - Thomas Valone 2005
A companion volume to "Electrogravitics Systems: Reports on a New Propulsion Methodology," this book delivers (1) the scientific validation from three different authorities; (2) the compelling public history of gravity research conducted by the aviation industry before it became 'unacknowledged' and (3) testimonials which eye-witnesses have provided. In total, this anthology attests to the validity of the Biefeld-Brown high voltage force effect. The book's Science Section includes a well-known "electrokinetic force" and how it works; the proposed ion mobility explanation; and how electricity and gravity may couple. The Historical Section contains seven articles about T.T. Brown, gravity research, etc. Also included are a Testimonial Section and Patent Section.
27. Electrogravitics Systems - Thomas Valone 1995
Having made a theoretical case for electrogravitics, the book also makes an historical one. Hints of electrogravitics in the history of aviation, revealed through the developments and statements made by major aircraft industries in articles from the Aviation Report in the mid-1950s, are reprinted. T.T. Brown's work is described in detail. The paper by Paul LaViolette was an intriguing speculation that the B-2 stealth bomber operates on T.T. Brown's principle of propulsion. Statements from government and ex-government workers and officials were shown to fit nicely with this possibility...This book can be appreciated by anyone who is interested in electrogravitics. -- Leslee Kulba, Electric Spacecraft Journal, Issue 12, 1994, p. 37
In the early 1920's Dr. Paul A. Biefield, a physicist and adquaintance of Albert Einstein, working at the California Institute for Advanced Studies, discovered that a highly charged capacitor has an anomalous tendency to move in the direction of its positive pole. Biefield assigned Thomas Townsend Brown, his prodigy, to study the phenomena as a research project. That the effect is not due to ion wind is borne out in claims that the effect exists under insulating oil and high vacuum...T.T. Brown devoted considerable effort, time, and means to researching this effect. Although his work has been sensationalized, it also has attracted professional attention. "Electrogravitics Systems: Reports on a New Propulsion Methodology" edited by physicist Thomas Valone, MA, PE, is a currect and cogent anthology of reports on the electrogravitic research of T.T. Brown. -- Vincent Coon, New Energy News, Vol. 2, No. 5, Sept., 1994, p. 10
Many readers may recall the name of T. Townsend Brown as it was historically associated with UFOs. Brown was the first director of the now-defunct, but once very active, National Investigations Committee on Aerial Phenomena (NICAP), a Washington, DC-based lobby group that was very instrumental in the 1960s for getting congressional leaders interested in the UFO mystery. But what the majority may not realize was that Brown was also a very highly acclaimed physicist who held many patents and worked on a variety of highly classified projects...In fact, in the recently published report titled, Electrogravitics Systems--Reports on a New Propulsion Methodology, Valone sees a very strong tie between Brown's discoveries and the development of the B-2 Stealth Bomber. -- UFO Sightings, Summer 1995, p. 17
Product Description
A 130-page book presenting information that antigravity has been and is being seriously investigated by leading aircraft industries as well as the government. The theme is that T. Townsend Brown's propulsion method, once developed, will usher in an age of flight so revolutionary it will make all previous aviation the Stone Age of flight. Included are two historical reports from 1956 on electrogravitics ("electrogravity") with an updated article by Dr. Paul LaViolette showing "there is substantial evidence that the electrogravitics research of the 1950s actually resulted in the B-2 Stealth Bomber auxiliary propulsion system." Thought provoking and exciting to read with supporting illustrations and patent copies.

29. Scarlet And The Beast 22: ENGLISH FREEMASONRY AND THE HITLER PROJECT
Hitler's entire personal career was, after all, but one product of the oligarchy's cultish world outlook, and it was the same oligarchy which, on the urging of Hjalmar Schacht [Germany's leading banker], decided to raise onto its shield in 1932. Hitler was their man!
30. Illuminati: The Conspiracy - By Stephen Esdale / With a plethoria of information and assistance and information provided by Anders Sandberg
We are prisoners in our own World.
Since the dawn of time we sleepers...mortals...humans have been the pawns of greater powers. To them we were nothing; used as tools and exploited for their enjoyment.
The first to become our "masters" were those horrible creatures society would label Werewolves. These things that call themselves Garou subjected us to the harsh tyranny called the Impergium. For millennia they culled our numbers, stopped us from growing, and stole our world from us. We all have a legacy from it. For to look upon one of the beasts still causes madness and overriding fear; a racial memory of undying intensity.
No one remembers those dark days...no one but us.
Vampires sought to continue the cycle of dominance. These creatures exist in a limbo between life and death. They have great mystic power and have the will to use it. Many of our most talented, famous, and infamous people have been taken over to their side. Our greatest resources have been stolen from us, the collected treasures of humanity have been raped by abominations! They walk among us, unseen by most. They control mortals from the darkness, unknown by most. They are a danger to all of us, incomprehensible by most.
We are not like most people. We see, know, and comprehend.
Magic exists all around us. Those of us have master magic in some form are called Hedge Wizards. This moniker was bestowed by those of Supernatural origin; our magic cannot compare to that of the Vampire's Thaumaturgy and those of the immortal Mummy. Mummies, like their magic, are potent but not a threat. They seek the destruction of Vampires, and that could be the key to bringing them over to our side.
There is another magic so potent in this world, that its source defies logic. Only these people deserve to be called Magi. Once they were like us and are still very much mortal. I have been told they have seen the true nature of reality, and are bestowed with the power to shape it to their will. I have also been informed by those of their kind that they have only limited control, lest powers beyond their scope crush them underfoot. We would have called these Magi brothers, but they have continually attempted to control humanity. They have herded them into an alien philosophy they call Ascension.
31. The Archaic Revival: Speculations on Psychedelic Mushrooms, the Amazon, Virtual Reality, UFOs, Evolution, Shamanism, the Rebirth of the Goddess, and the End of History - Terence Mckenna 1992
McKenna's ( Invisible Landscape ) wild theories about how hallucinogenic experiences are the last best hope of a world gone mad are at the center of these essays and interviews, most previously published. McKenna interprets three decades of flying through the deepest and highest levels of consciousness, encountering extraterrestrials, unknown languages and "the Other," the self seeking new levels of interior human existence. Much of his experience comes from trips--physical and drug-induced--to and with Amazonian Indian shamans. McKenna is best when he describes the multicolored landscapes and backgrounds of his visions and their settings. Such description, though, is rare; the author serves mostly as millenarian missionary, predicting an apocalypse for the year 2012. He gives short shrift to the demonstrable healing properties of the Amazon drugs, neglecting the most persuasive data as to why natural hallucinogens ought to be taken more seriously. He opts instead to promote hallucination as a messianic panacea for the individual psyche, not unlike the New Agers and pop psychologists against whom he rails incessantly.
32. The Black Seals of Solomon the King - carl nagel 1989
Within the pages of the book you are now holding in your hands will be found the precise instructions for the evocation of seventy-two spirits that, according to legend, were imprisoned within the limited confines of a brass vessel and cast into a lake by that well-known practitioner of things bizarre and mysterious - Solomon, King of Israel.
33. Ancient Egyptian: A Linguistic Introduction - antonio Loprieno 1995
As one would expect from this expert in Afroasiatic aspect studies, this is an exemplary application of current textlinguistic thinking to an ancient language and it will certainly inform the work of any Semitist....Semitists also have a lot to gain on the subjects of word order and clausal relations. The discussions of TAM and negation functions and grammaticalization rate among the main contributions for linguists not concerned with Afroasiatic languages. Loprieno ends with a very provacative bried reference to an issue close to the life of any field linguist-the relation between writing system and cultural ideology." Andy Warren, Notes on Linguistics
"This book is no doubt a turning point in the study of Egyptian language with potential far reaching impact, and should be consulted by linguists and Egyptologists alike." Mu-Chou Poo, The International Journal of African Historical Studies
"Loprieno's book is therefore most welcome and will serve as an excellent, state-of-the-field account of Ancient Egyptian. As a general linguistic and diachronic account, it bridges the gap between specialist grammars and linguists and others who want an overview of Egyptian. The book will be particularly useful for those who teach later stages of the Egyptian language (demotic and Coptic) to students who have not done prior work in Egyptian. Those who have had some training of are at the beginning stages of learning Egyptian will find the index of passages very helpful." J.G. Manning, Stanford University
34. The Golden Dawn-the Original Account Of The Teachings - Israel Regardie 2002
The Golden Dawn by Israel Regardie is considered by many to be the book that started the modern occult movement. The original Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn, which started in the late 1800s, borrowed from a wide variety of occult traditions ? Kabalah, Tarot, Geomancy, Enochian Magic, Theosophy, Freemasonry, Paganism, Astrology, and many more ? and created a unique and viable system of magic that is still being practiced today. Almost every contemporary occult writer and modern group has been influenced, directly or indirectly, by the Order or its members, making The Golden Dawn one of the most influential occult books of the past 100 years. The book is divided into several basic sections. First are the knowledge lectures, where you will learn the basics of the Kabalah, symbolism, meditation, geomancy and more. This is followed by the rituals of the Outer Order, consisting of five initiation rituals into the degrees of the Golden Dawn. The next section covers the rituals of the Inner Order including two initiation rituals, equinox ceremonies, and more. Then you will learn the basic rituals of magic and the construction, consecration, and means of using the magical tools. Once you have these you can go on to evocation rituals, talismans, and invocations. The book gives explanations for how to design talismans, do skrying and travel on the astral plane. You will also learn geomancy, the Tarot, and Enochian magic. Filled with numerous illustrations, lists, and tables, The Golden Dawn provides guidance for a lifetime of magic and life-changing transformation.
35. CIA Controlled Remote Viewing Training Manual
Remote viewing is a another name for telepathy or clairvoyance, the alleged psychic ability to perceive places, persons, and actions that are not within the range of the senses.
