  The Kybalion - A Study of the...

  Three Initiates

  Hidden behind the veils of ancient Egypt and whispered through the halls of esoteric schools, The Kybalion is a concise yet profound guide to the timeless principles said to govern all existence. First published anonymously in 1908, this small volume has shaped generations of mystics, philosophers, and seekers—yet its origin remains shrouded in mystery. 
  Presented through the cryptic voice of “The Three Initiates,” The Kybalion unveils seven Hermetic Principles—Mentalism, Correspondence, Vibration, Polarity, Rhythm, Cause and Effect, and Gender. These principles form a blueprint of how reality functions at every level, from the cosmic to the personal. They offer a way to understand the forces that shape thought, influence emotion, and guide the unseen currents of destiny. 
  Rather than dogma or doctrine, this work offers a practical metaphysical framework—one that invites the reader to explore the nature of mind, master inner states, and align with the universal patterns that weave through all life. Its teachings resonate across spiritual traditions, from alchemy and Kabbalah to modern psychology and self-transformation. 
  Whether you’re drawn to Hermetic philosophy, seeking deeper self-knowledge, or exploring the roots of Western esotericism, The Kybalion stands as a rare key: 
   a map for decoding the universe—and yourself.

  Ancient Greece

  It is difficult to determine the exact time periods of Ancient Greece. The time hardly seems to carry any information as historians were few. Other than Herodotus, Xenophon and Thucydides there were hardly any historians who jotted down the happenings. Archaeological excavations where temples and buildings were discovered form the source of information mostly. Pottery, sculptures, artefacts etc. also give much information. There are different time periods into which ancient Greece has been distributed. It begins from the Neolithic Period and ends in Hellenistic Period.

  Break Blow Burn and Make - A...

  From the award-winning author of On Fragile Waves comes an inspirational, surprising guide to creation and creativity, and how both bring us closer to God.   Centuries ago, sound theology and good fiction were friends and not strangers. Decades ago, authors strove not for self-expression and self-disclosure but for a mastery of craft and language and books that transformed the reader with wisdom and love. In more recent years, the old ideals have been exchanged for lesser ones.   Few guides to writing, which tend to focus on mechanics, point of view, and plot, address the more important matters of meaning, depth, and heart. But it is the latter qualities that make a book a blessing and gift to both writer and reader. Like Christ’s invitation to follow, they demand a risk and sacrifice of the self and all it holds dear. Writers from George MacDonald to James Baldwin understood this, but in recent years this understanding has been lost. Making old things new, this book proposes an ethics of reading, writing, and living based on truth and love.  Break, Blow, Burn, & Make returns the literary conversation to the practices of co-creation with God. Part bugle call, part compass for writing and for life, and part love song to the books that set us on fire, it offers those who are willing to receive it the courage to live, read, and write more deeply and honestly.

  Permian Period The: The History...

  Among the most interesting of the prehistoric eras is the Permian age, the most extreme period in the planet’s history. It spanned 47 million years, beginning with an ice age, warming, and ending with the most cataclysmic volcanic episode in the planet’s history. The great bulk of all life on the Earth was almost immediately snuffed out, barely crawling back over the following 10 to 30 million years, and it set the stage for the “Age of Dinosaurs.” 
  	What is termed by some as the “Pennsylvanian” or “Carboniferous” period prepared the emergence of the Permian age. Named for the abundance of rocks from the period found in the state of Pennsylvania, many prefer the term “Silesian” or “Carboniferous” era. In the preceding “Mississippian era,” warm, shallow seas disappeared causing serious upheaval to marine life in a tendency toward glaciation.  
  	“Significant glaciation” marks the beginning of the Carboniferous immediately preceding the Permian. Carboniferous glaciation began in the late Ordovician Period long before. The eventual Andean-Saharan glaciation, a minor ice age, occurred later in the Silurian Age. These were all remnants of the “Snowball Earth” period of the Cryogenian. 
  	The resultant sea level drop as the Carboniferous ice age set in produced conditions much like that of today, with ice on both poles, wet tropics near the equator and temperate regions in between. Despite similar conditions, the Carboniferous lacked the output of greenhouse gases produced by humans. 
  	Fragments of plates collided as continents were still fusing into the supercontinent Pangea. During glaciation, “latitudinal climactic belts were widespread.” Permian rocks have been found on all the continents and some have been displaced “considerable distances from their original latitudes” in the Mesozoic and Cenozoic eras that followed the Permian.

  The Pretiosissimum Donum Dei, 'the most precious gift of God', is an important early alchemical work, with a famous series of 12 illustrations. There have been identified over 60 manuscripts of the Donum Dei, the earliest dating from the 15th century. Some of these versions ascribe the work to Georgius Aurach de Argentina [sometimes 'Anrach'] and date it to 1475, though this unverified. There are versions in Latin, German, French and Italian, and one in English in the British Library.

  The American Presidents In 100...

  America's many presidents, both famous and obscure, have been as varied as the history of the country they have ruled. Over two centuries the presidential seat has been occupied by soldiers and school teachers, judges and journalists, haberdashers, Hollywood actors, professors, postmasters and even, believe it or not, a peanut farmer. Each had their own strengths and weaknesses, some perhaps with more of one than the other, but all were influential in shaping the history of this unique and influential nation. 
  In this fun and informative book, Jem Duducu introduces us to the famous, the infamous, the unknown and the occasionally unfortunate men who have led a country from its early years as a colony fighting for independence, through to it becoming the most powerful nation in the world.
