Der Weg zum wahren Adepten : Ein Lehrgang in 10 Stufen. Theorie und Praxis (3921338301)

Franz Bardon: Der Weg zum wahren Adepten. Aus der Einleitung Schon in den ältesten Zeiten galten die Magos als die höchsten Eingeweihten, von denen eigentlich auch das Wort Magie stammt. Die sogenannten Zauberer sind keine Eingeweihten, sondern nur Nachäffer der Mysterien, die zumeist teils die Unkenntnis, teils die Leichtgläubigkeit eines einzelnen wie eines ganzen Volkes ausnützen, um durch Lug und Trug ihre egoistischen Ziele zu erreichen. Der wahre Magier aber verachtet ein solches Vorgehen. In Wirklichkeit ist Magie eine heilige Wissenschaft. Sie ist im wahrsten Sinne des Wortes das Wissen alles Wissens, denn sie lehrt die Universalgesetze kennen und gebrauchen. Vielen Lesern wird bekannt sein, daß Tarot kein Kartenspiel ist, das mantischen Zwecken dient, sondern ein symbolisches Einweihungsbuch, das die größten Geheimnisse symbolisch beinhaltet. Die erste Karte dieses Buches stellt den Magier vor, der die Beherrschung der Elemente verbildlicht und den Schlüssel zum ersten Arka...

Robert Kuok : A Memoir (9789814189736)

Winner of Best Book of the Year at the Singapore Book Publishers Association awards 2018. Robert Kuok is one of the most highly respected businessmen in Asia. But this legendary Overseas Chinese entrepreneur, commodities trader, hotelier and property mogul has maintained a low profile and seldom shed light in public on his business empire or personal life. That is, until now. In these memoirs, the 94-year-old Kuok tells the remarkable story of how, starting in British Colonial Malaya, he built a multi-industry, multinational business group. In reflecting back on 75 years of conducting business, he offers management insights, discusses strategies and lessons learned, and relates his principles, philosophy, and moral code. Kuok has lived through fascinating and often tumultuous times in Asia - from British colonialism to Japanese military occupation to post-colonial Southeast Asia and the dramatic rise of Asian economies, including, more recently, China. From his front-row seat and as a...

Joseph's Hypocephalus (9781087942605)

A unique nugget of Latter-day Saint scripture is Facsimile 2 in the Book of Abraham. It is a picture-scripture called a hypocephalus and it is overflowing with symbolic meaning. Joseph Smith gave partial explanations of the figures and their meaning and then wrote: "The above translation is given as far as we have any right to give at the present time." Joseph knew there was more to discover! He left it for later generations to uncover. The original owners knew the original meaning and could easily describe each scenes. These owners, Abrahamic-believers from Ptolemaic-era, Thebes, Egypt, intentionally obscured the meaning of the symbols to protect their pristine mysteries. The message, obscure to some, was clear to the initiated. This book, Joseph's Hypocephalus, allows the student to read the original message of Facsimile 2. The message of Facsimile 2 is the message of the Path of Souls. It describes the path a dead man takes on his journey to Heaven. Egyptologists have ...

Imperium (9780679747802)

The Polish journalist whose The Soccer War and The Emperor are counted as classics of contemporary reportage now bears witness in Imperium to the disintegration of the Soviet Union. This magisterial book combines childhood memory with unblinking journalism, a radar for the truth with a keen appreciation of the absurd. Imperium begins with Ryszard Kapuscinski's account of the Soviet occupation of his town in eastern Poland in 1939. It culminates fifty years later, with a forty-thousand-mile journey that takes him from the haunted corridors of the Kremlin to the abandoned gulag of Kolyma, from a miners' strike in the arctic circle to a panic-stricken bus ride through the war-torn Caucasus. Out of passivity and paranoia, ethnic hatred and religious fanaticism that have riven two generations of Eastern Europeans, Kapuscinski has composed a symphony for a collapsing empire--a work that translates history into the hopes and sufferings of the human beings condemned to live it. ...

Empire of Pain : The Secret History of the Sackler Dynasty (9781529063097)

'Put simply, this book will make your blood boil . . . Keefe . . . paints a devastating portrait of a family consumed by greed and unwilling to take the slightest responsibility or show the least sympathy for what it wrought.' John Carreyrou, author of Bad Blood, in the New York Times The gripping and shocking story of three generations of the Sackler family and their roles in the stories of Valium and Oxycontin, by the prize-winning, bestselling author of Say Nothing. The Sackler name adorns the walls of many storied institutions - Harvard; the Metropolitan Museum of Art; Oxford; the Louvre. They are one of the richest families in the world, known for their lavish donations in the arts and the sciences. The source of the family fortune was vague, however, until it emerged that the Sacklers were responsible for making and marketing Oxycontin, a blockbuster painkiller that was a catalyst for the opioid crisis-an international epidemic of drug addiction which has killed nearly h...

England's Last War Against France : Fighting Vichy 1940-42 (9780753827055)

Genuinely new story of the Second World War - the full account of England's last war against France in 1940-42. Most people think that England's last war with France involved point-blank broadsides from sailing ships and breastplated Napoleonic cavalry charging red-coated British infantry. But there was a much more recent conflict than this. Under the terms of its armistice with Nazi Germany, the unoccupied part of France and its substantial colonies were ruled from the spa town of Vichy by the government of Marshal Philip Petain. Between July 1940 and November 1942, while Britain was at war with Germany, Italy and ultimately Japan, it also fought land, sea and air battles with the considerable forces at the disposal of Petain's Vichy French. When the Royal Navy sank the French Fleet at Mers El-Kebir almost 1,300 French sailors died in what was the twentieth century's most one-sided sea battle. British casualties were nil. It is a wound that has still not healed, for...

The Dawn Angiosperms : Uncovering the Origin of Flowering Plants (9783319863771)

This book discusses the controversial and conflicting hypotheses on the origin of angiosperms, which was generally assumed to be restricted to the Cretaceous and later ages. Since publishing the first edition of "The Dawn of Angiosperms" in 2010, several important advances have been made in this field of science, namely 1) the discovery of new fossil angiosperms from the Jurassic; 2) European researchers discovering angiosperm-like pollen from the Triassic; and most importantly 3) the discovery of a perfect flower from the Jurassic. All of these findings are at odds with the currently widely accepted evolutionary theories, and thus call upon us to critically reassess botanical theory. Accordingly, the new edition of this book not only includes more new fossil taxa, but also documents them in greater detail and corrects many commonly held misconceptions. In so doing, it makes related studies and teaching on the early history of angiosperms more realistic, concrete, and tangibl...
