The Mystery of the Olmecs

Author David Hatcher Childress has traveled around the world several times over, but finds one of the most fascinating mysteries of history very close to home-the Olmec culture of ancient Mexico.

The Olmecs were not acknowledged to have existed until an international archeological meeting in Mexico City in 1942. Now they are slowly being recognized as the mother culture of Mesoamerica having developed metallurgy, writing and the calendar long before the Maya. The statuary left behind by these enigmatic people very clearly depict features that seem to indicate residents of the Land of Olman came from Africa, Asia and Europe.

Was the narrow isthmus of southern Mexico an important part of a trade route that spanned both the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans? Examine the evidence in this fascinating book by one of the most interesting historians around.

You might learn more than you wanted to know about these strange people who populated the old New World!

The Future of the Body: Explorations Into the Further Evolution of Human Nature

Murphy, a co-founder of the Esalen Institute, believes that all human beings possess the capacity for extraordinary development, and that at least part of this capacity can be intentionally developed through what he calls transformative practices.

He uses much of the text to provide examples of metanormal functioning in literature, religion, science, and psychology from many cultures and historical eras. His main thesis is that each of us harbors latent metanormal capacities rooted in biological evolution: ESP, clairvoyance, extraordinary movement abilities, uncanny somatic awareness and self-regulation, superabundant vitality and universal love, among others.

Our genetic inheritance, he argues, predisposes us toward developing these powers, which can be mediated by Christian/Islamic grace, the Tao or the workings of Buddha Mind, and also can be developed through specific practices. These include psychotherapy, fitness training, martial arts, meditation, biofeedback and prayer.

Murphy’s claims for extraordinary human potential are annotated with references to 3000 sources, ranging from physiological studies of meditators to reports of near-death experiences.

In closing he scans the impulse toward wholeness in ancient and modern cultures and warns of the mental imbalance that misuse of transformation discipline can cause.

Maps of the Ancient Sea Kings: Evidence of Advanced Civilization in the Ice Age

Charles Hapgood’s classic 1966 book on ancient maps produces concrete evidence of an advanced world-wide civilization existing many thousands of years before ancient Egypt. He has found the evidence in the Piri Reis Map that shows Antarctica, the Hadji Ahmed map, the Oronteus Finaeus and other amazing maps.

Hapgood concluded that these maps were made from more ancient maps from the various ancient archives around the world, now lost. Not only were these unknown people more advanced in mapmaking than any people prior to the 18th century, it appears they mapped all the continents.

The Americas were mapped thousands of years before Columbus. Antarctica was mapped when its coasts were free of ice.

The Cosmic War: Interplanetary Warfare, Modern Physics and Ancient Texts

Physicist Joseph Farrell’s amazing book on ancient interplanetary warfare! There is ample evidence across our solar system of cataclysmic and catastrophic destruction events. The asteroid belt, for example, may be the remains of an exploded planet! The known planets are scarred from incredible impacts, and teeter in their orbits due to causes heretofore inadequately explained. Rejecting the naturalist and materialist assumptions of catastrophism forwarded by other researchers, Farrell asserts that it is time to take the ancient myths of a Cosmic War in the heavens seriously.

Incorporating extraterrestrial artifacts, cutting-edge ideas in contemporary physics, and the texts of ancient myths into his argument, Farrell maintains that an ancient interplanetary war was fought in our own solar system with weapons of extraordinary power and sophistication. In doing so, he offers a solution to an enigma that has long mystified researchers, disclosing a cause of that ancient war, the means by which it was waged, and the real nature of the secret technology behind the ancient “Tablets of Destinies.”

Topics include: Killer Asteroids and the Exploded Planet Hypothesis, The History of the Exploded Planet Hypothesis, The Explanatory and Predictive Power of the Exploded Planet Hypothesis, Other Phenomena Explained by the Exploding Planet Hypothesis, Problems of the Original Exploded Planet Hypothesis and the Revised Hypothesis, Plasma Cosmology and Ancient Mythology, The Problem of the Mercury Rectifiers, Plasma Pinch, Plasma Focus, and the Nazi “Bell” Project, Plasma Physics, The Plasma Focus, and Scalar Physics, Bearden’s Claims for “Scalar” Physics and its Weaponization, The Dangers of Scalar Resonance: Planet-Busting “Doomsday” Implications, The Divine Weapon, Evidence of Planetary Sized Discharges in the Solar System, Ancient Testimony to the Existence of Giants, Hamlet’s Mill: Another Mythological Background, The Galactic Context of Ancient Myths, The Astronomical-Galactic Meaning of “Earth, “The Galactic Meaning of “Tiamat,” The Celestial, or Galactic War and Deluge, and Mars-Nergal: “The Great Leaping One,” The Good, the Bad, and the Nephilim, Laurence Gardner’s Genealogical Tables, Gardner’s “Grand Assembly of the Anunnaki,” The “Grand Assembly of the Anunnaki” and Mankind, The Anunnaki and Mankind: Adam and Eve, Primordial Revolts and Wars: Sumer, Edfu, and the Genesis “Gap” Theory, A Chronological Outline Emerges, Angels and Plasma Life, The Mysterious Moon, How Did it Get There, The Planetary Fission Model, Shards, Octagons, Craters, and Towers versus Incessant Meteoric Bombardment, Mars Surface Anomalies, Pyramidal and Other Rectilinear Formations, The Monoliths, Human Origins and the “Celestial Extent” of Humanity or its Genus, The Two Space Programs Hypothesis and Scientific Suppression, tons more.

The Return of the Serpents of Wisdom

This book recounts the complete history and teachings of the spiritual masters around the world who have been associated with the serpent.

According to this book, ancient records claim that spiritual masters associated with the serpent initially appeared within Motherlands which once existed in the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. These Motherlands are referred to as Atlantis, Pan, or the Old Red Land of the Atlantic, and as Lemuria, Mu, Rua, or Kumari Nadu in the Pacific. The records maintain that the ancestors of the first “Serpents” were extraterrestrials who came to Earth and mated with the native population.

The records further maintain that when the Motherlands were destroyed, the Serpents migrated to various parts of the world and founded new civilizations. Within these civilizations they reigned as priest kings and as the heads of mystery school traditions. They taught their new, adopted people the esoteric wisdom and rites they had learned on the Motherlands. In India these colonial Serpents and their descendants became known as the Nagas (Sanscrit for Serpent); in China they were known as the Lung Dragons; in Egypt they were referred to as the Djedhi (the “Stable Serpents”); in Peru they were the Amarus (Quechuan for Serpent); in Mexico they were called the Quetzlcoatls (Nahuatl for “Plumed Serpent”); in Britain they were the Druid Adders (Welsh for Serpents).

Some of the wisdom the migrating Serpents carried with them from the Motherlands concerned the awakening of the internal “Serpent Power,” the latent, alchemical force within humans which normally lies dormant at the base of the spine. Once awakened, this mysterious power moves up the spine of a seeker and eventually transmutes him or her into a living god and goddess. Pyramidal temples and mystery schools were established around the globe by the Serpents in order to disseminate the wisdom of the Serpent Power and promote its awakening within worthy seekers. Megalithic reminders of their ancient schools survive as the Great Pyramid of Egypt, Stonehenge of Britain, Machu Picchu of Peru, and Teotihuacan of Mexico.

During the rise of Christianity, the Serpents were forced to hide within clandestine orders or become assimilated into eastern cultures which welcomed their ancient rites and practices. In the west the Serpents continued to survive as the Freemasons, Templars, and Rosicrucians- organizations which from their inception strove to overthrow the shackles of Christianity and eventually transform the entire Earth into a world based upon freedom of belief and speech.

According to the prophecies of many traditions mentioned in this book, the free world dreamed of by the Serpents is now on the threshold. We will soon move into a new cycle of time called the 5th World, the World of Love, and the World of Venus. This time period has also been referred to as “the thousand year reign of Christ” and as the Aquarian Age. In the 5th World all polarities, all nationalities, and all ideologies will unite through the power of love. The perennial battle between science and religion will come to a conclusion and the two will unite as Sacred Science. Many people will have the opportunity to fully develop the Serpent Power and become Serpents during this New Age. They, and other “returning” Serpents, will oversee the creation of a new World Government.

When the Moors Ruled in Europe

Description:

Join British historian Bettany Hughes as she examines a long-buried chapter of European history–the rise and fall of Islamic culture in what is now Spain and Portugal. Although generations of Spanish rulers have tried to expunge this era from the historical record, recent archaeology and scholarship now shed fresh light on the Moors who flourished in Al-Andalus for more than 700 years.

This fascinating two-part documentary explodes old stereotypes and offers shocking new insights. You”ll discover the ingenious mathematics behind Granada’s dazzling Alhambra Palace, trace El Cid’s lineage to his Moorish roots, and learn how the Iberian population willingly converted to Islam in droves.

Through interviews with noted scholars, you”ll see how Moorish advances in mathematics, astronomy, art, and agriculture helped propel the West out of the Dark Ages and into the Renaissance. What emerges is a richly detailed portrait of a sensuous, inquisitive, and remarkably progressive Islamic culture in Christian Europe.

Sacred Symbols of the Dogon: The Key to Advanced Science in the Ancient Egyptian Hieroglyphs

“During the Persian, Greek, and Roman invasions, large numbers of Egyptians fled not only to the desert and mountain regions, but also to adjacent lands in Africa, Arabia and Asia Minor, where they lived, and secretly developed the teachings which belonged to their mystery system. In the 8th century A.D. the Moors, i.e., natives of Mauritania in North Africa, invaded Spain and took with them, the Egyptian culture which they had preserved.’ Stolen Legacy p. 39

“As Such, the people of North Africa were the neighbors of the Egyptians, and became the custodians of Egyptian culture, which they spread through considerable portions of Africa, Asia Minor and Europe. During their occupation of Spain, the Moors displayed with considerable credit, the grandeur of African culture and civilization.” Stolen Legacy p. 39

Book Description:

Dogon cosmology provides a new Rosetta stone for reinterpreting Egyptian hieroglyphs

” Provides a new understanding of Egyptian hieroglyphs as scientific symbols based on Dogon cosmological drawings

” Use parallels between Dogon and Egyptian word meanings to identify relationships between Dogon myths and modern science

In The Science of the Dogon, Laird Scranton demonstrated that the cosmological structure described in the myths and drawings of the Dogon runs parallel to modern science–atomic theory, quantum theory, and string theory–their drawings often taking the same form as accurate scientific diagrams that relate to the formation of matter. Scranton also pointed to the close resemblance between the keywords and component elements of Dogon cosmology and those of ancient Egypt, and the implication that ancient cosmology may also be about actual science.

Sacred Symbols of the Dogon uses these parallels as the starting point for a new interpretation of the Egyptian hieroglyphic language. By substituting Dogon cosmological drawings for equivalent glyph-shapes in Egyptian words, a new way of reading and interpreting the Egyptian hieroglyphs emerges. Scranton shows how each hieroglyph constitutes an entire concept, and that their meanings are scientific in nature. Using the Dogon symbols as a “Rosetta stone,” he reveals references within the ancient Egyptian language that define the full range of scientific components of matter: from massless waves to the completed atom, even suggesting direct correlations to a fully realized unified field theory.

The Book of Assistance

Description:

There are many books in English that present Sufi doctrine, but few that can be used as practical travel guides along the Path. Originally written in classical Arabic, this volume is in widespread use among Sufi teachers in Arabia, Indonesia, and East Africa; its devotions, prayers, and practical ethics are invaluable as a guide along the Sufi Way.

Review:

The genius of this book is that it condenses the collected wisdom of centuries of Muslim spiritual doctors such as Imam-al Ghazali into a handy, brief manual. For centuries books like this have shaped men and women of all races, from Indonesians to Swahilis, into shining examples of godliness and beautiful conduct. Anyone who implements the advice here can become what Muslim mystics call a complete, perfected human being, characterized by everything from kindness and charity (including a cheerful countenance), to waking up in the middle of the night to worship, to inward states such as thankfulness and trust in God’s will. Like all men of God, Imam al-Haddad’s writing is clear, sober and eloquent.

Delaware's Forgotten Folk: The Story of the Moors and Nanticokes

Book Description:

“It is offered not as a textbook nor as a scientific discussion, but merely as reading entertainment founded on the life history, social struggle, and customs of a little-known people.”–From the Preface

C. A. Weslager’sDelaware’s Forgotten Folk chronicles the history of the Nanticoke Indians and the Cheswold Moors, from John Smith’s first encounter with the Nanticokes along the Kuskakarawaok River in 1608, to the struggles faced by these uniquely multiracial communities amid the racial and social tensions of mid-twentieth-century America. It explores the legend surrounding the origin of the two distinct but intricately intertwined groups, focusing on how their uncommon racial heritage–white, black, and Native American–shaped their identity within society and how their traditional culture retained its significance into their present.

Weslager’s demonstrated command of available information and his familiarity with the people themselves bespeak his deep respect for the Moor and Nanticoke communities. What began as a curious inquiry into the overlooked peoples of the Delaware River Valley developed into an attentive and thoughtful study of a distinct group of people struggling to remain a cultural community in the face of modern opposition. Originally published in 1943,Delaware’s Forgotten Folk endures as one of the fundamental volumes on understanding the life and history of the Nanticoke and Moor peoples.

The Passion and Resurrection of the Moorish Hiram: Or the Metaphysical Subjugation and Posthumous Emancipation of the So-Called Black Race

Book Description:

What is become of that Mighty Moorish Empire whose judicious administration once directed the affairs of the World and the Seven Seas? That Sovereign Governance that reigned supreme for over a thousand years, whose genius and perspicuity ushered a somnambulistic Medieval Europe through the precipitous shadows of Dark Ages into the illumined twilight of the Renaissance?

Little now is remembered of her monumental cultural achievements and vast erudition. How could such a magnificent legacy vanish so thoroughly, almost without a vestige? It appears that someone has taken great pains to systematically obliterate our chronicles from the hallowed memoirs of classical Western civilization? So we began this serious inquisition. Why are the prolific records of the contributions of our dusky ancestors relegated to virtual obscurity? Why the cumbersome shroud of secrecy?

Initially, every inquiry into our mysterious past seemed to lead to a cul-de-sac. Soon, almost everywhere we began to detect an odor of villainy. So we intensified our efforts and commenced excavations wherever we caught a whiff. Alas beneath layers of metaphor and cryptic archeological equivocation, we discovered in the shallow graves of Western academia fertile remains of our beloved Moorish ancestors, the ancient Master-builders of world civilization! How wonderfully ironic, that the adversary in his hysterical attempt to suppress and mask the truth our glorious heritage, unwittingly scattered about such valuable forensic traces. Our exertions have actually been rendered easier thanks to the fastidious efforts of our antagonists.

Alas, this is the Aquarian Age. The auspicious season had dawned and the Resurrection of the Moorish Hiram is become a manifest inevitability. Already the ancestors are speaking unto and through us words of power.
