The growth of mankind in its most vital sense has been sacrificed for material pursuits, corporate greed and technological progress. As a result, humankind has failed to look after the Earth or itself very well. World leaders, militaries and industrial giants have little concern for spiritual matters when business as usual, which involves destroying the environment or other nations, is the first thing on their agendas. They have no time for the "nonsense" of spiritual pursuits. Enter the Overseer. He has been away for a while, but has always kept watch over the events of mankind. That is his job. He finds it necessary to step in at this key point in history, when humanity must decide whether to make drastic changes in its conduct or perish as a result of the failures it has created. Although mankind has begun to understand its own ignorance, it needs proper guidance. That is the purpose of this book. If you have studied A Course in Miracles or attempted any other course of study without experiencing strong, transformative results, then it is time for these Lessons. They are short, easy to read and powerful.

Why do good people stay in bad situations? Too many of us, says Jack Barranger, remain in dead-end jobs and relationships too long, and for the wrong reasons. Knowing When to Quit is a refreshing look at "the staying syndrome" - and how to get over it. Knowing When to Quit will guide you through: • a systematic analysis of your own feelings about your job or relationship. • a hard look at your social environment, including the possibilities for hurting others if you quit. • an examination of the [often irrational] reasons people stay in bad situations. • a debunking of the myths - such as "Winners Never Quit" - which keep good people stuck in place. • a scoring system - the Knowing When to Quit Index - which can make your quit/stay decision much easier. If you've been dissatisfied with your job, or uncertain where your relationship is headed, you'll find Knowing When to Quit a helpful guide to decision-making. It may provide the help you need to get back on track.

Machiavelli was an Italian diplomat, historian and political theorist who wrote this book sometime around 1513. In 1512 the Medici's came to power and he lost his post in Florence. It is believed he wrote this book in an effort to win them over and be taken back into politics. It is now the world's most well-known political reference. It is also considered to be the first book on modern political philosophy, where effective truth is considered more important than abstract ideals. Therefore, immoral means are acceptable in "The Prince" when used to achieve the aims of princes and politicians seeking personal glory or the advancement of their careers. This may have been necessary during the time it was written, but many, including Diderot and Jean-Jacques Rousseau, considered "The Prince" to be more of a satire. Whatever its purpose may have been, it is clearly one of the most brilliant books ever written.

This book is a tribute to the life and work of Zecharia Sitchin. He was a pioneer who left a great legacy behind regarding our ancient past and the origins of mankind. He taught us to think in new ways based on his breakthrough research and exciting discoveries. Sitchin was one of about 200 people who could translate the first form of writing on the earth - ancient Sumerian cuneiform script. By combining translated text with modern scientific knowledge and archaeological discoveries, he pieced together in his books a more complete mosaic of mankind's shrouded past. He believed that mythological stories were not figments of people's imaginations, but records of events that had actually taken place, and spent his life proving it. As modern science catches up with ancient knowledge, we have continued to discover, largely through Sitchin's work, that the gods were once here and that they may be coming back. M. J. Evans, Ph.D., presents in this work an extremely well researched overview of Sitchin's contributions to the knowledge of ourselves and our true origins. His work is put within the framework of a new paradigm, which is looming on the horizon. It will grow as our minds continue to open and new discoveries continue to corroborate his findings.

The word "secret" appears in many book titles in an effort to create sales, but the reader often finds few secrets inside. This book is a rare exception. There is a powerful secret to be found within these pages. It claims to contain the hidden jewel that both Eastern and Western religions have been seeking for centuries. Religions have lost their focus, having turned their attention away from this mystical process and toward their dogmatic theologies. The Golden Flower, in terms of this book, is the hidden light within the human body that is the key to spiritual enlightenment. This book reveals how the reader can tap into it using meditative and Taoist Yoga practices. This can result in higher wisdom, spiritual bliss and a complete transformation of consciousness. It includes a Commentary by the legendary psychologist C.G. Jung concerning the differences in consciousness between the East and West, as well as his closing Appendix honoring the memory and accomplishments of the original Translator of this work, Richard Wilhelm.

A visionary work from a futuristic philosopher. Presents in great detail a positive, compelling view of the new human and new human society that goes beyond cultures, nations and civilizations; beyond democracy, socialism, communism and money; beyond competition under the illusion of limited resources; beyond the godspell Babel-factoring religions; beyond the old new age. Reveals how we will live as enlightened, generic humans having restored the true knowledge of our history as a genetically created species - part Homo erectus and part Anunnaki/Nefilim. Accepting and integrating this proven knowledge will allow us to experience planetary peace and meet the conditions for matriculation into stellar society. Sapiens Rising presents a meta-scenario, the largest picture of our current consciousness revolution and the wild card memes and technologies that afford us the ability to transcend and achieve cosmic consciousness and our place among the stars. Whatever we can conceive we can achieve. Whatever we can comprehend we can transcend. Previously released as an e-book only, the author claims it has reached Michelle and Barack Obama, M. Gorbachev, John Petersen of the Arlington Institute, the Dalai Lama, Pope Benedict, Klaus Schwab (of Davos), Presidents Clinton and Carter, Charlie Rose, and Bill Moyers, among others.

The theme of this book is - can man transform his own character? Can we discover and access a deeper and better part of ourselves? Does this greater Self, as various authorities claim, contain unused qualities such as selflessness and love of mankind, inner peace and certitude, wisdom and goodness, creativity and wholeness, unitive harmony with life, compassion and greater reason, and a sense of union with ultimate reality? Are these powerful virtues inherent in all men regardless of race, color and creed? This work offers a gloriously affirmative answer to all these questions. The author, in reaching this conclusion, explores her topics from two different directions - the psychological and the spiritual. These subjects include the discovery of the Self, individuation, self-realization, actualization of one's potentialities, Becoming and Being, and living a greater life. To support her theoretic-scientific-psychological view, Mrs. Owens cites the analytical psychology of Carl Jung, the humanistic psychology of Abraham Maslow and Carl Rogers, and the Psycho-synthesis of Robert Assagioli. All of her books, now back in print, have received praise from the greatest thinkers of her time, including Albert Schweitzer, Dr. Carl Jung, Henry Margenau, Ken Wilber, Willis Harman, Sonja Margulies, Aldous Huxley, Abraham Maslow, Jack Kornfield, Dr. C.A. Meier, Charles Tart, Dr. Robert Assagioli, Kenneth Ring, Dr. Jean Houston and more.

George James was a professor at a small black college in Arkansas during the 1950s when he wrote this book. Originally from Guyana, he was an intellectual who studied African and European classics. He soon realized something was wrong with the way the history of philosophy had been documented by Western scholars. Their biggest mistake, according to James, was they had assumed philosophy had started with the Greeks. James had found that philosophy was almost entirely from ancient Egypt and that the records of this had not only been distorted but, in many cases, deliberately falsified. His conclusion was that there was no such thing as Greek philosophy because it was stolen from the Egyptians. As a result, this was one of the first books to be banned from colleges and universities throughout North America. Although opponents have eventually found some flaws, it remains a groundbreaking book to this day. Even the famous Greek historian from the 5th century, Herodotus, admitted that the Greeks had borrowed many important ideas and concepts from the Egyptians. These ideas covered not just philosophy, but also medicine, architecture, politics and more. The purpose of this book is to restore the truth about African contributions to higher thought and culture.

This is a must book for anyone seeking knowledge on a variety of important subjects or in finding the definitive "best works" version of Ralph Waldo Emerson.
