  In this third and final book of The Magus, Francis Barrett turns from magical practice to magical history—presenting a rare and invaluable compendium of the great minds who shaped Western occult philosophy. 
  Book III offers concise biographical accounts of dozens of ancient, medieval, and Renaissance adepts, including Zoroaster, Hermes Trismegistus, Pythagoras, Paracelsus, Roger Bacon, Agrippa, and more. These are the sages, mystics, alchemists, astrologers, and magicians whose teachings laid the foundation for everything in The Magus. 
  Far more than a bibliography, this is a spiritual lineage—a transmission of ideas and inspiration across generations. By exploring the lives and writings of these visionaries, Barrett reveals the continuity of esoteric wisdom through the centuries and situates his own work within a long tradition of initiates and seekers. 
  Whether you're a student of occult history or a practitioner of the arts, Book III offers insight into the intellectual and spiritual giants upon whose shoulders modern magic stands. Their philosophies echo across time—and this volume preserves their legacy.

  Master Your Patience : A...

  Preface by the Monk Coen. ”In this book, Pedro Costa makes an important analysis - an anamnesis of altered states of consciousness, and gives us guidelines, recipes, suggestions so that we can perceive our moods and develop the ability to deal with them. We will need patience a lot - in order to have physical, mental and social health. 
  We can identify the enemies of patience. Not only we can, but we should. Let us define them as the main causes of our daily unrest. First, the people. Second, time. Third, the situations. The fourth can be understood as the union of the first three: chaos, or ”people with no time in difficult situations”. Normally, when we lose patience completely we fall into this last stage of impatience. It`s this combination of factors that disturbs our peace. In this book, we describe a method so you always remember the ”good allies” of patience. A way to improve your life. It`s the ”4S” rule, a shortcut to memorizing it. Thus, the four allies of patience are: Silence, Sight, Smile and Sure. Easy, right? We`ll go into detail about this method and each of the four allies as well as the enemies of a complete change to a better life. We must also observe that the more we focus on the present, the more likely we are to find the allies of patience. The authors P. COSTA and G. COSTA bring a two-fold vision from different areas. First a broad approach of patience by medical science, linked to mindfulness, and on the other hand an approach by anthropology, closely related to the totality of the human being, including all of its dimensions.

  Death to Self-Help - Escape an...

  In a culture consumed with self-improvement, many Christians become entangled in the relentless pursuit of a "better" life. But the more we try to refine ourselves, the more we find that our efforts lead to burnout, frustration, and a deep sense of emptiness. In surrendering it all to Christ, we can take on new meaning and fulfillment, build better mindsets, and find that contentment and happiness are found in a deep relationship with God. 
  Death to Self-Help challenges this mindset, showing that true transformation is not found in perfecting the self but in surrendering it entirely to Christ. This journey involves a tension between striving for worldly perfection and embracing God's definition of "good"—a shift from mechanical processes of self-betterment to a deeper, meaningful relationship with God. 
  Eli Bonilla explores various philosophies that have influenced modern Christians, from New Age spirituality to semi-works-based gospel—a subtle belief that we can contribute to our salvation through our own efforts. Through the story of Daniel and his friends in Babylon, Death to Self-Help presents a countercultural narrative that prioritizes God's principles over personal preferences, fulfillment over improvement, and being in God's presence over merely doing more. 
  Death to Self-Help is for thosestruggling with mental health surrounding purpose and meaning;burnt out from trying every option to improve their lives;frustrated with being stuck; andattempting to untangle from trauma in a world that embraces it as an identity. 
    
  This book also addresses the modern human obsession with immortality—through technology, AI, transhumanism, and legacy-building—contrasting these pursuits with the biblical perspective that all earthly things are temporary until the arrival of the new heavens and new earth. It challenges readers to shift their focus from the pursuit of personal immortality to embracing the eternal purposes of God. 
  Eli will not vilify the desire for self-improvement but will illuminate why self-improvement does not result in wholeness, and why God's way of improving our lives may result in suffering for seasons but resulting in a purpose much greater than our momentary affliction.

  Lenin Lives?

  Lenin's work and influence have often been written off as no longer relevant, and many today consider this to be so. Lenin has, they claim, had his day, even though he is still revered in China, the world's most populous country. However, Lenin, like his mentor Marx, has had a tendency to rise from apparent decline and oblivion to renewed force and influence. 
   
   
   
  This study examines the key elements of Lenin's life and career, the consolidation of his ideas into the doctrines of "Leninism," the influence of Leninism in promoting revolutionary movements around the globe, and the currently disputed issue of whether his ideas still have any relevance today. In particular, while considering his views on the role of the revolutionary party, often seen as the centerpiece of his theory and practice, this account identifies the root of Lenin's global influence in his opposition to capitalist imperialism and as a bedrock foundation for the opposition of many to fascism and associated ideologies. While recognizing that Lenin's reputation has reached its lowest point, not least in his home country where his legacy is reviled by Vladimir Putin and other contemporary leaders, the book concludes by weighing up the contemporary arguments of those who believe that Lenin still lives.
