  Inspired by the poetry of William Blake, Heaven and Hell delves into the murky topic of human consciousness through a discussion of religious mystical perception, biochemistry and psychoactive drug experimentation. Heaven and Hell explains how science, art, religion, literature, and psychoactive drugs can expand the reader’s everyday view of reality, offering a more profound grasp of the human experience. 
  Like his earlier essay, The Doors of Perception, Aldous Huxley’s Heaven and Hell exerted a tremendous influence on the counter-culture movement of the 1960s, inspiring the imaginations of an entire generation of artists and revolutionaries like Jim Morrison and Jackson Pollack.

  The Kybalion - A Modern Version...

  The Kybalion is the fundamental book on Hermetic Philosophy. 
  This book explains the nature of existence in Seven Principles according to Ancient Egyptian Philosophy. This information was kept hidden and passed down throughout the ages and contains the underlying principles of Truth found in all systems of thought. 
  This information can be applied to life in a practical or magical way. 
  This book was created based on the message inscribed on the Emerald Tablet of Thoth or “Hermes Trismigestus”. Thoth is said to be an Ascended Master who came back to Egypt to share the secrets of the Universe with Civilization. 
  Some of the most prominent thinkers and inventors credit the Emerald Tablet as the Secret to their achievements including Sir Isaac Newton, Madam Blavatsky, Fulcanelli and many more. 
  This mythological knowledge is the basis of Hermetic Law, explained by the Seven Hermetic axioms which describe by nature, the operating principles of existence. 
  These principles can be used to experience maximum fulfillment in life, make new discoveries and attain extraordinary goals. These are the secret principles on which our world operates and they can be applied in order to fulfill our deepest desires. 
  The Kybalion was written anonymously by the Three Initiates in the early 1900’s as a book to share the secrets of the Hermetic Order. 
  These initiates claim to be Masons of the highest degree although they never disclose their identities. Much speculation has gone into who the actual author(s) of the book were but regardless of who wrote it, this document serves to be the fundamental guide to the structure of reality as we know it. 
  “The Lips of Wisdom are Closed. Except to the Ears of Understanding.” 
  —The Kybalion

  Reckoning with History confronts the histories of settler colonialism and slavery and illumines how these two devastating realities informed and ultimately deformed Protestant Christianity in the North American colonies and antebellum United States. 
   
   
   
  This book explains how Christians engaged the sinful realities of Indigenous land dispossession and Black enslavement, shaping American Christianity in distinctive and enduring ways. It further underscores how white Christians justified land theft and racial oppression against Indigenous and Black persons with scriptural interpretations and theological expositions that remade Christianity into an American religion that bolstered economic, political, and social interests. Along the way, Yoo also features inspiring accounts of resistance to the Indian Removal Act of 1830 and the westward expansion of slavery. A final chapter draws lessons from these histories for the possibilities of what ministries of racial justice could be in American churches today. Yoo integrates cogent historical analysis with contemporary lessons for Christians that make Reckoning with History a definitive resource for understanding racism and pursuing racial justice in the United States.

  Tolkien's Faith - A Spiritual...

  Tolkien described The Lord of the Rings as “a fundamentally religious and Catholic work” and declared, “I am a Christian (which can be deduced from my stories).” Yet he insisted his writings were not allegories, and Middle-earth is loved by millions who do not share his religious beliefs. How were his faith and his fiction related? Holly Ordway answers that question biographically, focusing on Tolkien’s spiritual development, a dramatic story that previous accounts of his life have left largely unexplored. Here we find that Tolkien’s faith was hard won. His Anglican upbringing was overturned when his mother converted to Catholicism. Soon afterward, she died, leaving Tolkien under the guardianship of a Catholic priest, who forbade him to see his Protestant girlfriend, whom nonetheless he eventually married. The Great War, in which most of his close friends were killed, deepened Tolkien’s reliance on his faith, but then for a decade he “almost ceased to practise” his religion. Friendship with C.S. Lewis and success with The Hobbit were followed by another war and by turmoil in the Church that sternly tested Tolkien’s commitments. The challenges and triumphs in his religious life are reflected in his masterpiece, The Lord of the Rings, that epic tale of endurance against the odds. As Ordway shows in her expertly researched and richly illustrated study, Tolkien’s faith and Tolkien’s fiction are intimately related, though in subtle and complex ways. This long-overdue spiritual biography gives new insight into his works by shedding fresh light on their author’s deepest-held convictions.
