Sinossi

This edition includes the following editor's analysis: "The Golden Bough" as an essential analytical treatise on mythology, magic and religion


Originally published in two volumes in 1890, “The Golden Bough” is a wide-ranging, comparative study of mythology and religion, written by the Scottish anthropologist James George Frazer. The title is taken from Virgil’s epic poem “The Aeneid,” where the hero, Aeneas, uses a golden bough (or golden twig) to gain admission into Hades, the underworld.

The themes of “The Golden Bough” include humanity’s relationship to mortality, common narratives across cultures and times, and the gradual progression from superstitious to scientific thinking.
Frazer compares and contrasts scientific and religious thoughts. With events such as fertility rates and human sacrifice being compared both religiously, and scientifically, “The Golden Bough” makes for a unique book.

    This book is the core textbook of a quantum science of acting on stage and in life. At a time when the arts and sciences converge more than ever, Perceptual Acting and Directing theory and method (PAD) speaks about a contemporary, tangible metaphysics, fusing theories of quantum physics with mindfulness and the famous Method of the Actors' Studio, in a new harmony. Konstantin Stanislavski had said that the actor of the future, a new actor in the new life, is the one for whom art springs from spiritual intuition. He used the word Supraconscious, indicating to the actor the levels of consciousness he needed to attain. He considered the art of theater as the spiritual path to wholeness. PAD is the new system of translating and decoding, frame by frame, the experience, bringing us in touch with the higher self, by reference to Nietzsche's superhuman and the transcendental Kazantzakis, creating a new transitional space where everything is in motion and evolves in the face of inertia, continuously actualizing that Alma-Quantum Leap of being.

    ACCOMPLISH YOUR GOALSDO NOT USE WHILE DRIVINGThe late Dick Sutphen, was a pioneer in the Hypnosis field. America’s foremost psychic researcher, he was also considered to be America’s leading past-life therapist.His subliminal recordings require that you read the information below in order to fully benefit from them and achieve optimal results.Example of Suggestions: You have the power and ability to do more in less time. You divide big jobs into workable steps, and them one step at a time. 
    * You now increase your speed and productivity. You love and believe in yourself. You have the power and ability to focus your concentration at will.  Total concentration is yours when you want it.  You are self-directed winner who accomplishes your goals. What you hear is 60 minutes of relaxing, digitally mastered stereo music. Each title uses different music and different suggestions. Listen while you are driving, working, or doing other things. What you don’t hear are the suggestions, which are embedded into the music. Only your subconscious mind will hear the suggestions.What happens?  Because the suggestions are not challenged by your conscious mind, they tend to be accepted by your subconscious mind, although they can’t make you do something you don’t want to do. To be effective, you must be favorable disposed to the programming goal. With repeated listening, the suggestions become new beliefs. Your subconscious mind will then generate the circumstances necessary to match your day-to-day life to your new beliefs. To generate further mental acceptance, you may also use this programming as sleep programming. Simply listen as you fall asleep.Make certain you are fully alert and awake at the end of this session.As a specialist in brain/mind technology, Dick instructed medical professionals in how to use his life-changing techniques and was often a featured speaker and trainer at professional hypnosis conferences.
