  This book is like a walk in the park chat about my journey through drug addiction. It tells the story of how we got started at the early age of 10 years old smoking marijuana. For fourteen years of my life, this led to the hallucinogens, snorting cocaine, drinking alcohol and that dangerous monster; crack cocaine. We were able to come through this dangerous lifestyle and live to document the steps that we were able to take to free ourselves from this living hell. We are honored to share this process in hopes that we can reach the hearts and minds of all who will walk this path with us, as we are now 29 years free and clear of drugs, alcohol and cigarettes as a result of "Walking The Road To Recovery; 9 Steps In Motion. Enjoy.

  At his own expense, he self-published Thirty Problems Concerning Creation (De Creatione Problemata 30) from his home. This work aimed to restore the classical doctrine of creation and to address intricate philosophical and theological questions related to the creation of the world and faith. The present edition is the first translation of the Latin edition that was published in 1635, nearly 400 years ago. The thirty problems explore various questions, including the existence of a beginning of the world, the nature of the raw material, the origin of Moses' knowledge of creation, the universality of this knowledge, the duration of the world's creation, the existence of other worlds before ours, the direct emanation from God, the number of elements necessary for creation, the creation of souls and bodies, the creation of Paradise and Hell, the existence of Purgatory, the creation of demons and angels, the roundness of the sky, the final cause of the world's creation, and the alterability of the world if it is eternal. These problems invite deep reflections on the nature of existence and faith.

  Tezcatlipoca: The History and...

  Editors Charles River

  Worshipped by many cultures, one of the main deities of the great Aztec Empire, the “Lord of the Smoking Mirror,” is also one of the most interesting and elusive Mesoamerican deities. Known as the master of the destinies of the world, giver and despoiler, patron of kings and slaves, sower of discords and revealer of sins, Lord of night and darkness, first Sun of the creation, he is as fascinating as he is complex. Tezcatlipoca was as feared as he was revered, for the god was all-knowing, all-seeing, all-powerful, yet also fickle, capricious, and with a wicked sense of humor to boot. 
  	The study of Tezcatlipoca must necessarily be framed in the Mesoamerican historical-cultural context, which is an undertaking entailing a fair amount of difficulties. Due to the complexity of each culture’s mythology, the many different gods, languages, and people involved, their study and the attempts made thus far to understand and explain it all have not resulted in a clear, unified discourse, but in a multiplicity of interpretations. This can make getting a clear and consistent picture from the available literature a little daunting. 
  	From differences in the spelling of names to differences in the gods that are attributed to each pantheon and their roles in the myths and their unique features, the reader venturing into the mythology and history of Mesoamerica - and of Tezcatlipoca in particular - should be aware that, while there are certainly incontrovertible facts and data on which there is a general consensus. In addition, the information offered in one source may very well differ from that found in another, as each author makes their own interpretations and draws their own conclusions from the evidence studied.

  “If you really want to learn the basic principles of practical alchemy, Frater Albertus’ Alchemist’s Handbook is literally is worth its weight in gold.”—from the foreword by Israel Regardie, author of The Golden Dawn: The Original Account of the Teachings, Rites, and Ceremonies of the Hermetic OrderThe Alchemist's Handbook has long been considered a modern-day classic on the actual practice of alchemy since its first publication in 1960. The book still stands as a groundbreaking work presenting in clear, concise language a practical manual of working knowledge that was formerly handed down only under oath of secrecy.The scope of alchemical work is to provide both a means to synthesize all the other sciences and the necessary training of the intellectual and spiritual faculties. “Hermetic philosophy, with its practical arcanum,” writes Frater Albertus, “repeats itself over and over again in the ancient axiom ‘As above, so below. As below, so above.’"The Alchemist's Handbook discusses in detail:The basic fundamental principles of alchemy.A guide to the formation of an inexpensive home laboratory with illustrations of the necessary equipment.Step-by-step instructions for the work of the Lesser Circulation, the alchemical transformation within the plant kingdom.  “The teachings of Frater Albertus are part of a lineage that traces back to Rosicrucian sources and much earlier and The Alchemist’s Handbook is still the best introduction to that lineage. If you feel the call of Alchemy and want real information on the subject, this is definitely the book you will want to read, reread, and read again. It may just turn out to be the book that changes your life.”—From the foreword by Robert Allen Bartlett, author of Real Alchemy: A Primer of Practical AlchemyFirst published by Weiser Books in 1974, this new Weiser Classics edition includes a new foreword by Robert Allen Bartlett, author of Real Alchemy.
