1. Encyclopedia of Native American Tribes 3rd Edition - by Carl Waldman 2006

The traditional lifestyles and customs of individual North American tribes and their history after contact with encroaching whites are topics discussed in alphabetical entries ranging from Abenaki to Zuni. Cross-referenced segments on cultural areas, i.e., Northeast, supplement the information given under individual tribal headings. Sections on prehistory, Mayas, Aztecs, and Olmecs are included. Entries contain a lot of information but are often chatty, rambling discussions that stray from the topic. The work does not go significantly beyond Barbara Leitch's A Concise Dictionary of Indian Tribes of North America (LJ 4/1/80). Recommended for public libraries lacking Leitch.Mary B. Davis, Museum of the American Indian Lib., New York

2. Encyclopedia of Hurricanes, Typhoons, and Cyclones - by David Longshore 2007

The science, history, and culture of tropical cyclones around the globe have evolved considerably since the award-winning first edition of "Encyclopedia of Hurricanes, Typhoons, and Cyclones" was published nearly 10 years ago. Improved forecasting techniques, altered naming systems, and new intensity and duration records are only a few of the changes that have taken the meteorological world by storm in recent years. As a result of improvements in forecasting and warning systems, landfall and intensity predictions are much more accurate and timely, thereby reducing economic costs and enhancing life safety."Encyclopedia of Hurricanes, Typhoons, and Cyclones, New Edition" features significant updates and information on recent weather phenomena and the devastation and loss that often resulted. Hurricanes Andrew, Gilbert, and Wilma are covered in detail in this comprehensive reference, as well as the most destructive and deadly tropical cyclone witnessed in the United States in the last 50 years - Hurricane Katrina. As the historic and vibrant city of New Orleans continues to rebuild and reconstruct in the aftermath of this hurricane, national meteorological agencies and research institutions suffer from the deadly effects of under-funding and political neglect. Between 2005 and 2006, hurricane-related damage in the United States totaled $168 billion, and nearly 1,500 lives were lost - grim tallies that lend credence and urgency to the call for a centrally organized, multi-agency response to tropical cyclone activity in this country, and indeed, around the globe.Focusing on these issues and more, this completely revised edition features more than 85 all-new, black-and-white photographs and line illustrations, a revised introduction, historical and cultural entries, extensively revised front and back matter, a bibliography of print and Web resources, a chronology, and an index.

3. The Penguin Historical Atlas of Ancient Rome- by Chris Scarre 1995

Matching clear graphics with informative text, Christopher Scarre's atlas gives a fine overview of Roman history from the emergence of the first city-state in the eighth century B.C. to the rise of Christian theocracy a millennium later. The Penguin Historical Atlas of Ancient Rome is especially helpful in showing the growth of the Roman empire through successive centuries of military campaigning from Scotland to Arabia and in delineating the networks of trade, transit, and communication that bound the far-flung outposts to the imperial capital. Scarre notes that many of those networks still survive in one form or another.

4. Astrology and Divination (Mysteries, Legends, and Unexplained Phenomena) - by Robert Michael Place 2008

Can we see into the future to tell if we are going to be happy or rich? What does fate have in store for us? These are the kinds of questions that come up when most people think of divination, making it seem like mere fortune-telling or, worse, just plain superstition. Rather than predicting the future, however, divination provides insight and guidance to help a person create the future. It is a way of contacting part of the human mind that resides in the unconscious, providing greater perspective and access to psychic abilities. "Astrology and Divination" is an overview of the history and forms of divination that have existed in human culture around the world since prehistoric times. Delving into the reasoning and psychology of divination, it looks at divination methods including Tarot, astrology, palmistry, and other body readings, the I Ching, and other oracular methods.Chapters include: Confronting the Divine, Omens, Astrology, Divination Games and The Tarot.

5. Conspiracy in Camelot: The Complete History of the Assassination of John Fitzgerald Kennedy = by Jerry Kroth 2003

On the 40th anniversary of one of the most important events in American history comes Conspiracy in Camelot: the complete history of the assassination of John Fitzgerald Kennedy, a dazzling, information-packed volume from New York’s Algora Publishers. Conspiracy in Camelot is a thoroughgoing analysis of the most relevant evidence uncovered and released by the government over the last 40 years, and a presentation of the most plausible conspiracy theories.
From the cover up to Mafia murders, fingerprints to dictabelt recordings, a mountain of evidence is integrated into a comprehensive perspective on the assassination. Out of a field of 9 confessed assassins in the literature, Professor Kroth conducts five interviews with the leading grassy knoll suspect, James Files. Marilyn Monroe’s sexual liaisons with the Kennedy brothers, JFK’s 33 mistresses in the White House, and J. Edgar Hoover’s homosexuality and paranoia underscore the shadowy psychological underbelly of one of history’s greatest detective stories. Reaching beyond the criminal dimension, the text also looks at the deep and mysterious symbolism of this mythic tale, from the incredible array of synchronicities between Kennedy and Abraham Lincoln to the uncanny symbolic linkage the story has to King Arthur and Camelot.

6. Historical Dictionary of Ancient Egypt, 2nd Edition (Historical Dictionaries of Ancient Civilizations and Historical Eras) - by Morris L. Bierbrier 2008

The "Historical Dictionary of Ancient Egypt" is a quick and accurate ready reference for both the Egyptologist and the non-specialist. It presents the important people and places in ancient Egyptian history as well as those in the history of Egyptology. Coverage is given to ancient Egyptian rulers, bureaucrats, and commoners whose records have survived, to ancient society, religion, and gods, and to the people and places significant to modern archaeological discoveries and scholarship. An important part of this work, not featured in other dictionaries, is a detailed bibliography of the historic periods, archaeological sites, and other important aspects of ancient Egyptian studies. The bibliography presents the most up-to-date monographs on these themes, many of which have appeared only in recent years and may not be known to the public at large.

7. A History of Mathematical Notations - by Florian Cajori 1993

This classic study notes the first appearance of a mathematical symbol and its origin, the competition it encountered, its spread among writers in different countries, its rise to popularity, its eventual decline or ultimate survival.
Originally published in 1929 in a 2-volume edition, this monumental work is presented here in 1 volume.

8. The Bible in the Churches: How Various Christians Interpret the Scriptures (Marquette Studies in Theology) - by Kenneth Hagen 1994

How is the Bible read in the churches today? Was the Bible always studied as it is now? Is modern biblical scholarship a source of unity or division among the churches? This collaborative venture explores such questions in the hope of clarifying the ecumenical potential of biblical study today and in history. The Bible in The Churches explains how the Bible is interpreted in the Catholic, Orthodox, Lutheran, Evangelical, and Reformed churches, respectively. As a way of focusing the similarities and differences, each exegete presents an exposition of Ephesians 2:1-10. In a conclusion, George H. Tavard, A.A., gives a masterful overview of scriptural study in the history of the church and describes the ecumenical task that lies ahead.

8. Living within Limits - A Scientific Search for Truth - by Kenneth M. Merz, Sr 2008

Presenting his view of life as “optimism triumphant,” Dr. Ken Merz, Sr., reflects on the limits of life, the limits of the physical universe, and the role of humans in that universe.
He explains various laws of science in a clear and accessible style while reviewing aspects of physical reality, aspects of biological reality, and definitions of scientific reality. Discussing mankind’s ongoing search for truth, he examines the distinction between believing and knowing. The book’s themes include time and change, with a consideration of the work of Darwin, Mendel, and Watson and Crick. Explaining the basics of the double helix of DNA and the micro evolution of life, Dr. Merz ponders individualism and evolution, and makes a plea for humans to wield their power over life responsibly.
Recent events forcefully show that humans live on a limited planet and themselves have limited abilities. Limits face us from every direction. The Earth has a limited surface with limited arable and to farm, oxygen to breathe, water to drink, atoms to use, and oil to burn. We are pressing against Earth’s resources with unachievable demands.
Humans have limits in their sensory ability, memory, perception of truth, and endurance in the face of unending change. Science is limited to 92 elements and phenomena that are observable. Economics is limited to raising prices or seeking alternates. In a universe of unending change, existence itself is limited.
Malthus, Toynbee, Tainter, Meadows, Diamond, and many others have warned us of looming limits that would someday engulf our civilization. Nevertheless, we have continued to exploit resources wastefully, pollute the environment, and cause extinctions.
Man has searched for millennia but only since the time of Copernicus, Galileo, and Newton has a reasonably useful procedure been found for finding truth — the scientific method of investigation. That method is the present source of humanity’s ascendancy over the Earth and its creatures.
The book explains the scientific method in terms of logic as well as the day to day activities of scientists. The method is the basis of higher living standards, improved health and longevity, and population growth. These are now diffusing into the countries of the third world, increasing the pressure on natural resources.
We have learned from science that living creatures, including humans, were created by and are controlled by DNA — the double helix of deoxyribonucleic acid — which has been evolving for at least 3.5 billion years. DNA controls behavior as well as our physical bodies. If, as the only conscious and rational creature, we are to accept and fulfill the role as Natural Selector of life on Earth, we must somehow achieve a collective ethical nature commensurate with the task. We cannot wait hundreds of centuries for DNA to do it; there is no time. We must solve the problems of Earth and human survival with what we now have. Our only trustworthy hope is to follow the methods of science, listening carefully along the way.
The Earth is now our home and responsibility; we must finally heed Buddha’s injunction of 2500 years ago: “The self is master of the self: for who else could be the master?”

9. The Great Red Dragon Or LONDON MONEY POWER - by L. B. WOOLFOLK 1890

Here we have another suppressed and lost to time book, provided here at WBSG as a free
E-book (Electronic Book). The below book contains a treasure trove of information that
charts the acquisition of the world's wealth (but not the very beginning of same, which I shall
cover in my own book) that was necessary for the International Judaics to then go on to use
to dominate this world. As the Int. Judaics say themselves:
"...PER ME REGES REGNANT. "It is through me that Kings reign." And it was said
by the prophets that we were chosen by God Himself to rule over the whole earth.
God has endowed us with genius that we may be equal to our task. Were genius in
the opposite camp it would still struggle against us, but even so, a newcomer is no
match for the old-established settler: the struggle would be merciless between us,
such a fight as the world has never seen. Aye, and the genius on their side would
have arrived too late. All the wheels of the machinery of all States go by the
force of the engine, which is in our hands[1]
, and that engine of the machinery
of States is -- Gold [i.e., money]. The science of political economy invented by our
learned elders has for long past been giving royal prestige to capital."

Footnotes:

This was written in 1897, seven years after the below book was
written, and twenty-five years after the below author's initial
research was begun! In other words, they are contemporary; two
sources, diametrically opposed (one the victim, the other the
offender, if you would), in perfect agreement. This says much
about the validity of the oft-assailed (as so-called "forgeries")
Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion).

The curious term in the below book, "Money Power," is identified as the remarkable
personalities that we at Watchmen Bible Study Group refer to as the International Judaics.
They are one in the same. And as you shall see, they are neither ALL Jews, nor are they
anything other than "Jews" (save for "Gentile" figureheads appointed by the International
Judaics as non-Jewish front-men). The great men that are referred to in the below book are
one in the same as the International Judaics which I write so often about. It is they who are
"taming" (enslaving) God's world for antichrist's acquisition in the Great Tribulation of the
Bible.
Excerpts from below book positively identifying the "Money Power" and the "Money Kings"
written therein as what the world has been trained to call "Jews":

10. A BRIEF HISTORY OF THE MARTINIST ORDER

The origin of the Martinist Order is found in the work and teach-
ings of Martinez Pasquales, a Spanish mystic, adept, and theurgist of
the eighteenth century. Much of the life of Pasquales is veiled in mys-
tery. He was a direct initiate of the Swedish seer and philosopher,
Emanuel Swedenborg, and was well versed in the secret tradition of wis-
dom as embodied in the esoteric teachings of Egypt, Greece, and the Ori-
ent. Moreover, it is known definitely that he was a Rosicrucian. In
1754, he established in Paris a joint lodge of Rosicrucians and Illumin-
ists, and was active during the following two decades in spreading the
light of mystical and occult philosophy throughout France and Europe,
Shortly after 1760, Martinez Pasquales went to Bordeaux in Southwestern
France and founded there a center of activity for an occult Order known
as the Cohens Elus, or Elect Priests, which he brought from the Near
East. Many persons of mystical inclination and philosophical tempera-
ment associated themselves with the Order of Cohens Elus, among them an
idealistic young army officer, Louis Claude de Saint-Martin, whose life
and personality we shall now consider briefly.

L. C. de Saint-Martin was born of noble parentage in Amboise,
Province of Touraine, France, on January 18, 174 3. He was a frail and
sensitive child, and early in life manifested the keen intellect, soar-
ing idealism, and pious sentiments which in maturity found full expres-
sion in him as a great Christian mystic and Illuminist. An understand-
ing and loving stepmother nurtured the noble ambitions and high sensi-
tivity of the youth. He later expressed himself as forever indebted to
her loving guidance and wise education. In accordance with parental
wishes, he studied for the profession of law and was admitted to its
practice.

13. Viking Kings of Britain and Ireland: The Dynasty of Ivarr to A.D. 1014 - by Clare Downham 2007

Vikings plagued the coasts of Ireland and Britain in the 790s AD. Over time, their raids became more intense and by the mid 9th century, Vikings had established a number of settlements in Ireland and Britain and had become heavily involved with local politics. A particularly successful Viking leader named varr campaigned on both sides of the Irish Sea in the 860s. His descendants dominated the major seaports of Ireland and challenged the power of kings in Britain during the late 9th and 10th centuries. In 1014, the battle of Clontarf marked a famous stage in the decline of Viking power in Ireland while the conquest of England in 1013 by the Danish king Sveinn Forkbeard marked a watershed in the history of Vikings in Britain. The descendants of varr continued to play a significant role in the history of Dublin and the Hebrides until the 12th century, but they did not threaten to overwhelm the major kingships of Britain or Ireland in this later period as they had done before.

14. Rule By Secrecy: the Hidden History That Connects the Trilateral Commission, the Freemasons, And the Great Pyramids - by Jim Marrs 2001

What secrets connect Egypt's Great Pyramids, the Freemasons, and the Council on Foreign Relations? In this astonishing book, celebrated journalist Jim Marrs examines the world's most closely guarded secrets, tracing the history of clandestine societies and the power they have wielded – from the ancient mysteries to modern–day conspiracy theories.

Searching for truth, he uncovers disturbing evidence that the real movers and shakers of the world collude covertly to start and stop wars, manipulate stock markets, maintain class distinctions, and even censor the news. Provocative and utterly compelling, Rule by Secrecy offers a singular worldview that may explain who we are, where we came from, and where we are going.

Reviews
“ This is an excellent book. I have studied a number of works on this subject matter and found this one to be the most well-organized, comprehensive and understandable.
My daughter is a political science major and she is reading "Rule By Secrecy" also -- she told me, "If there really is a power behind the government running our world, I want to know about it!" Mr. Marrs book should be required reading in our schools. If anything, it will cause one to think and question which is vital to our personal sovereignty. And by the way, other books that support/corroborate the informaton in this book are "Trance-Formation of America" by Cathy O'Brien/Mark Phillips and "The Biggest Secret" by David Icke (though both may challenge your comfort zone even more than this one.)

"Rule By Secrecy" is written in such a way that it is easily digestable and a great read for anyone who questions reality even a little bit. Skeptics find this work and others like it confrontive and threatening because they demand "proof". Well, that is an illusion because the "powers that be" manufacture proof on a daily basis through the media. Please consider that if you are addicted to a steady diet of newspapers and/or watching the news daily, you are perhaps being influenced by only a few (of many) very powerful forms of mind control. When you begin to wake up and question the way things are your heart will provide you real proof. The ability to think and discern using your intuition and feeling nature is the only true freedom there is.

I applaud Mr. Marrs for his courage. Reading this book will cause you to view our world in a new light -- buy it and educate yourself if you dare.

15. The Stonehenge People: An Exploration of Life in Neolithic Britain 4700-2000 BC - by by Rodne Castleden 1992

his work is among the best overviews of Neolithic life available. It's well written and covers a breadth of topics and ideas. Using the best evidence available, he breaks away from traditional approaches to reconstruct prehistoric society. Instead of stripping away modern elements to derive Neolithic life, Castleden builds the picture of that society from its basics. Opening with a portrayal of the Neolithic environment, he envisions how people would react to conditions then.

Environmental constraints and overuse of resources forced changes in lifestyle over the centuries. Neolithic peoples originally inhabited the fertile landscape as farmers. Their crops, however, quickly depleted the soil. Castleden cites a study in Denmark of Neolithic einkorn wheat reducing soil nutrients in only three seasons. Loss of fertility drove people to new locations or converted to a pastoral existence. In either case, the ommunities remained small and tightly integrated, with settlements only a few kilometres apart. The conditions also inhibited experimenting in farming or lifestyles. Maintenance of a secure life took precedence over trying the novel. The resulting conservatism led to a commonalty of thinking. We see evidence of that in the multitude of Neolithic religious sites. Stonehenge, Avebury,
Woodhenge, are distinct from each other in many ways, but their basic pattern is consistent.

Conservative rural life instilled fertility rituals dealing with crops and cattle breeding. Respect for surviving elders led to cults dealing with death. Castleden argues that it wasn't worship of the dead, but death itself that occupied their thoughts and practices. Burial rituals and cemetaries ultimately produced the great henges and stone monuments. Castleden acknowledges that the artefacts associated with the ditches, banks and the stone circles are the chief source of information we have in conceiving Neolithic life. One missing element, and he finds this highly significant, are structures for defence or other evidence of conflict. There are no large collections of arrowheads or spear blades found at the henge sites. From this he derives Neolithic society as essentially peaceful, with communities acting in relative harmony. Such an environment facilitated trade and information exchange. He traces the major likely trade routes across Southern Britain and across to Brittany in France. This view counters the long-held belief that these people were kept brutish and ignorant by being in a constant state of battle. He rightly argues that such a social milieu wouldn't have allowed the construction of such sites as Avebury or Stonehenge. He can't resist comparison with modern societies.

Castleden has enhanced a fluent presentation with numerous photographs, diagrams and maps. There is some presentation of contending views on various aspects of the topic. Perhaps the most surprising topic is the enigma of Stonehenge's source of the massive bluestones. Rejecting the "glacial erratics" position of Aubrey Burl, Castleden accepts the Presli Hills source. However, he proposes the most novel form of transport yet suggested.
Instead of the usual Presli to Severn Estuary route some propose, Castleden argues for an all-sea route around Land's End. He contends some form of trimaran would easily make the journey. Oxen-pulled sledges managed the final leg.

Although this book focuses on southern Britain of the era, the approach can be successfully applied elsewhere, even for other times. Castleden's easy prose and frank approach to the material makes this book useful and informative...

16. The Mediterranean World in Late Antiquity

This book provides both a detailed introduction to the vivid and exciting period of `late antiquity' and a direct challenge to conventional views of the end of the Empire.

18. Occult Theocrasy Volume 1 & 2 - by Edith Starr Miller, Lady Queenborough 2007

Edith Starr Miller does a excellent of exposing many Cults and Secret Societies, which makes this book a solid reference guide to all conspiracies and cults through the 1930's. Of interest to Jehovah's Witnesses is the fact that Charles Taze Russell is listed in the index section on page 737 as a Freemason.

Reviews
“ This book traces the origin of conspiracy to the start of the human race. It shows that there is a group of satanic priests ie, occult theocrasy who run the world and gain power by the worship of the devil. The book shows how even criminal syndicates such as the mafia are all part of this conspiracy. It also gives information on how secret societies are all part of this network. This book gives some incredible information. But if the bible is to be taken as the truth, which it is, then we know that the devil rules the world through human agencies. A very well written and excellent book.

Occult Theocrasy_ is a two volume edition of the classic work on occult societies and subversive movements by British patriot Edith Starr Miller writing under the name of Lady Queenborough, first published in 1933 and republished here by The Christian Book Club of America. The author notes at the beginning of this work that the word theocrasy may be defined as "A mingling of various deities or divine attributes into one personality; also a mixture of the worship of different deities." As such this work traces the role of various occult societies, subversive movements, and underground religions throughout the ages. In the first two chapters of this book, the author explains "The Religion of the Secret" and "The Meaning of Occultism" noting the role of occult societies and underground movements of Gnostics and Cabalists and freemasons throughout history. The author traces many of these movements from the ancient mystery schools and religions. The author also is ostensibly Christian noting the importance of Jesus Christ to world history. Throughout this book, the author quotes extensively from such sources as Eliphas Levi, Nesta Webster, "Inquire Within", Margaret Alice Murray, Albert Pike, Captain Pollard, Maurice Joly, and many others who offer unique insights into the role of secret societies. This work features a discussion of the role of Judaism as a subversive force, the role of the Bavarian Illuminati of Weishaupt, the role of Irish secret societies, the role of Theosophy, and the role of the freemasonry of Albert Pike (mentioning the city of Charleston as a center for freemasonic activity and Pike as the Supreme Pontiff). This work also includes a discussion of communism and the international banking, mentioning the role of taxation and the need for a rebellion of taxpayers against those who hold them in slavery. This work ends with a discussion of how authentic patriotism must overcome the tyranny of money as manifested through the secret societies. The book includes the following parts - "The Mysteries of Freemasonry" and "Chronological Series" (divided into sections including "Associations of the 16th Century", "Associations of the 17th Century", "Associations of the 18th Century", "Associations of the 19th Century", and "Associations of the 20th Century"), ending with a Conclusion and Bibliography. Following this, is a series of appendices including the "Manifesto of the O.T.O.", "Extract from the Charter for Royal Order of Scotland in U.S.A.", "Masonic and Pagan Symbolism", and "Photographic reproductions of documents interesting to Freemasonry etc.". As such, this book is a veritable goldmine of information concerning ancient mystery schools, ancient religions, secret societies, occult organizations, and subversive movements covering a wide range of such movements from throughout history. It remains highly recommended for those who would delve into such topics in an effort to understand the role that such movements have played throughout history.

20. Stellar Theology And Masonic Astronomy - by Robert Hewitt Brown 2008

One of the most concise and on point books about astrology, numerology, esoteric sciences and the like.
An unabridged, digitally enlarged printing to include all illustrations by the author.

Reviews
“ One of the most concise and on point books about astrology, numerology, esoteric sciences and the like. Profusely illustrated so much so the illiterate and semi literate can still benefit from it's lights and rights.The Freemasonic purist would benefit the most from this glorious work, but a total novice would also become more enlightened. Brother Brown's teachings on the number 7 and it's mystical astrological meanings are a must read. My edition of the book is quite a bit earlier, this book has been atop the Masonic book lists for awhile now. I would highly recommend this book to all those looking for Lux along with "The Huevolution of Sacred Muur Science Past and Present" by Noble Timothy Myers-EL and "African Origins of Freemasonry" by Zachary Gremillion

21. The Penguin Historical Atlas of the Vikings - by John Haywood 1995

Viking marauders in their longships burst through the defenses of 9th-century Europe, striking terror into the hearts of monks, peasants, and rulers. But the Vikings were more than seaborne terrorists. This atlas shows their development as traders and craftsmen, explorers, settlers, and mercenaries, and follows the routes of Viking merchants from Constantinople to the new world. Full color.

22. A Woman Rides the Beast: The Roman Catholic Church and the Last Days - by Dave Hunt 1994

An eye–opening book about prophecy, Catholicism, and the last days. Has the view of the Church of Rome as the woman who rides the beast in Revelation 17 become outdated? Hunt carefully sifts through history and prophecy to provide an answer

An exhaustive look at the history of the catholic church and her distortion of true Christianity. The author does it ellegantly supporting it with documentation that proves his case. This is a book for Christian apologists, for catholics and non-christians alike. To the catholic reader, a rebuttal of the book is inevitable, because the truths presented here are rather crude but truths nonetheless. Excellent book.

23. Stars and Stellar Evolution - by De Boer K 2008

The topic of the book touches on the questions “From where did the Sun come?” and “What will be its fate?”. Yet, the Sun plays only a minor role in this text (except that its mass, size, and luminosity are the basis for the stellar units).

The emphasis is on all stars with all their evolutionary phases. The text does not aim to explain all the intricate physics for and in stars. Most of the standard physics is included, of course; for details of aspects not treated in depth, references to other texts are provided. But essential mechanisms are addressed. Nor does the text pretend to be a full review of the literature. But it gives the reference background as well as access to the specialized literature on the various topics. What has been attempted is to give a description for most (but not all) of the phases of evolution possible in their context, illustrated by numerous forms of the “Hertzsprung-Russell Diagram”. The text thus rather aims at all those, the general astronomer and the observer alike, who need to understand where an encountered star can be placed in the vast parameterspace of stellar evolutionary states.

Primordial Gnosis is knowledge, wisdom. That is the
meaning of the word Gnosis: knowledge. But we are not
just referring to any knowledge here. Gnosis is very special
knowledge. It is knowledge that causes a great
transformation in those who receive it. Knowledge capable
of nothing less than waking up and Spiritually liberating
those who acquire it. That is its purpose: to throw light on
the status of human beings and to try to wake up man and
help him escape from the prison in which he finds himself.
That is the reason why this knowledge has been repeatedly
under attack throughout the course of history, because it is
knowledge considered dangerous for the religious and
political authorities who govern mankind from the
shadows. For that reason Gnosis has always remained
occult. Gnosis is secret knowledge, only accessible to those
who deserve to have it. Different religions throughout
history have tried to keep man ignorant of this knowledge,
of this type of knowledge called Gnosis. Now we will find
out why.
What I am calling Primordial Gnosis is the pure form of
Gnosis. It is always the same and will never change as long
as the Spiritual situation in which man finds himself and all
that we call “creation” or “world” don’t change. On the few
occasions in the past in which Primordial Gnosis was
openly exposed, it was not in its pure form but was adapted
to the cultural and historical particularities of the time and
place. However, Primordial Gnosis has always been behind
almost every theological and philosophical system which
has been branded heretic, forbidden, persecuted and forced
to become occult. By examining this forbidden knowledge
it is possible to recover the pieces necessary to reconstruct
the whole of that which is Primordial Gnosis.
And if that knowledge were to be discovered and
written down, it would be a very powerful and disturbing
book. It would be the most dangerous text in the world,
capable of waking up and liberating those who read and
study it. Such a book would be a strange object in this
created world, something not fabricated here, but coming
from somewhere else, from another world completely
different to this one. It would also be capable of surviving
flames as well as time.
Throughout this book I will try to keep as close as
possible to that which was and is Primordial Gnosis,
Gnostic knowledge in its pure form.

25. A Closer Look At Freemasonry

During the annual session of the Southern Baptist Convention
(SBC), June 15-17, 1993, the messengers overwhelmingly
approved a report on Freemasonry. This action recognized the
many charitable endeavors of Freemasonry. It also acknowl-
edged that “many outstanding Christians and Southern Baptists
now are, and in the past have been Masons.”1 For the first time
in the history of the SBC, however, the Convention concluded,
“many tenets and teachings of Freemasonry are not compatible
with Christianity or Southern Baptist doctrine.”2 The report
accepted by the Convention identified eight tenets and teach-
ings of Freemasonry that it concluded were not compatible with Christianity.

First Incompatibility: The prevalent use of offensive concepts,
titles, and terms such as “Worshipful Master” for the leader of
a lodge; references to their buildings as “mosques,”“shrines,” or
“temples”; and the use of words such as “Abaddon” and “Jah-
Bul-On,”4 the so-called secret name of God.To many, these
terms are not only offensive but sacrilegious.
Biblical Response: The so-called secret name of God illustrates
the offensive nature of the above terms for Christians.Albert
Pike, one of the most influential Masonic writers, explained the
first two syllables of the secret name in his discussion of the old
French rituals of Freemasonry:
This is probably Jabulum, incorrectly copied;which, as I
have shown,meant ‘the product of, that which proceeded,
issued or emanated from Om. ’
If correctly written, it is compounded of … Yu or Yah-u,…
Baal or Bal or Bel, and Om, thus combining the names of the
Hebrew, Phoenician and Hindu Deities, to indicate that they
are in reality the same. In some old rituals it is Jabulum.

26. Pocket Atlas of Nutrition = by Hans Konrad Biesalski, M.D.& Peter Grimm, Ph.D. 2006

After 30 years of advice to eat low fat,
the United States, followed closely by
many other, mostly but not exclusively,
industrialized nations, is witnessing an
unprecedented epidemic increase in
obesity and diabetes, to name just two.
The cost of these developments to the
individual and to society is enormous,
and the projected cost for the future
staggering. It is evident that the in-
crease in obesity and diabetes is
strongly related to faulty nutrition.
Proper nutrition is probably the most
effective and cost-effective prevention
for these and many other diseases,
including most cancers.
It should be clear to anyone by now that
proper nutrition involves much more
than having three meals a day. The writ-
ten media abound with nutritional
advice and information. Many books
promote often extremely controversial
guidelines for weight loss and better
health. Frequently, articles and books
are based on unproven assumptions,
anecdotal evidence, or single scientific
studies that seem to point in one or the
other direction. The reader who tries to
make sense of it all tends to be utterly
confused.
Yet, even though nutritional science is
relatively young, it is a hard science and
many aspects have been thoroughly
researched. Our knowledge of other
aspects, such as the functions and
effects of many secondary phyto-
chemicals, or the multiple interactions
between many body chemicals during
nutrition-related metabolism, is evolv-
ing continually. Nutritional science is an
interdisciplinary endeavor based on
chemistry, biology, physiology, and
anatomy, which are often hard to under-
stand and even harder to present in a
condensed, easy to assimilate fashion.
So where can the interested layperson
turn for information? Where do profes-
sionals dealing with nutritional ques-
tions, physicians, nurses, pharmacists,
teachers, etc.—who often have little or
no nutritional training—turn for easily
accessible, reliable, up-to-date, and
comprehensive information? Where
can dietitians and nutritionists quickly
look up scientifically sound and up-to-
date information about a particular
nutritional topic?
This is where the Pocket Atlas of Nutri-
tion comes in. It provides well-presented
basic knowledge and presents the state
of the art of nutritional science today. Of
course, it cannot provide the in-depth
approach of textbooks of nutrition,
nutritional medicine, and related fields.
We are hoping, though, that the compact
presentation of knowledge typical of
Thieme’s Pocket Atlas series will provide
the reader with quick insights and a rel-
atively easy to obtain overview. If the
book raises in the reader a skeptical atti-
tude toward quickly drawn conclusions,
that was our intent.
Recent advances in molecular biology
have allowed nutritional science to
advance rapidly, and the information
resulting from this research is increas-
ingly complex. Yet, even most recent
research findings have been included in
these chapters, sometimes still marked
as open questions.
Nutritional science remains a work in
progress. In tune with the latest con-
cerns about public health, this edition
includes several new chapters on pre-
ventive nutrition and more emphasis
has been placed on nutritional medicine.

27. Diet, nutrition and the prevention of chronic diseases: report of a joint WHO/FAO expert
consultation, Geneva, 28 January -- 1 February 2002.

A Joint WHO/FAO Expert Consultation on Diet, Nutrition and the
Prevention of Chronic Diseases met in Geneva from 28 January to
1 February 2002. The meeting was opened by Dr D. Yach, Executive
Director, Noncommunicable Diseases and Mental Health, WHO, on
behalf of theDirectors-General of theFood andAgricultureOrganization
of the United Nations and the World Health Organization. The
Consultation followed up the work of a WHO Study Group on Diet,
Nutrition and Prevention of Noncommunicable Diseases, which had met
in 1989 to make recommendations regarding the prevention of chronic
diseases and the reduction of their impact (1). The Consultation
recognized that the growing epidemic of chronic disease afflicting both
developed and developing countries was related to dietary and lifestyle
changes and undertook the task of reviewing the considerable scientific
progress that has beenmade in different areas. For example, there is better
epidemiological evidence for determining certain risk factors, and the
results of a number of new controlled clinical trials are now available. The
mechanisms of the chronic disease process are clearer, and interventions
have been demonstrated to reduce risk.
During the past decade, rapid expansion in a number of relevant
scientific fields and, in particular, in the amount of population-based
epidemiological evidence has helped to clarify the role of diet in
preventing and controllingmorbidity and prematuremortality resulting
from noncommunicable diseases (NCDs). Some of the specific dietary
components that increase the probability of occurrence of these diseases
in individuals, and interventions to modify their impact, have also been
identified.
Furthermore, rapid changes in diets and lifestyles that have occurred
with industrialization, urbanization, economic development andmarket
globalization, have accelerated over the past decade. This is having a
significant impact on the health and nutritional status of populations,
particularly in developing countries and in countries in transition.While
standards of living have improved, food availability has expanded and
becomemore diversified, and access to services has increased, there have
also been significant negative consequences in terms of inappropriate
dietary patterns, decreased physical activities and increased tobacco use,
and a corresponding increase in diet-related chronic diseases, especially
among poor people.
Food and food products have become commodities produced and
traded in amarket that has expanded froman essentially local base to an
increasingly global one. Changes in the world food economy are
reflected in shifting dietary patterns, for example, increased consump-
tion of energy-dense diets high in fat, particularly saturated fat, and low
in unrefined carbohydrates. These patterns are combined with a decline
in energy expenditure that is associated with a sedentary lifestyle ---
motorized transport, labour-saving devices in the home, the phasing out
of physically demandingmanual tasks in theworkplace, and leisure time
that is preponderantly devoted to physically undemanding pastimes.
Because of these changes in dietary and lifestyle patterns, chronicNCDs
--- including obesity, diabetes mellitus, cardiovascular disease (CVD),
hypertension and stroke, and some types of cancer --- are becoming
increasingly significant causes of disability and premature death in both
developing and newly developed countries, placing additional burdens
on already overtaxed national health budgets.
The Consultation provided an opportune moment for FAO and WHO
to draw on the latest scientific evidence available and to update
recommendations for action to governments, international agencies and
concerned partners in the public and private sectors. The overall aim of
these recommendations is to implement more effective and sustainable
policies and strategies to dealwith the increasing public health challenges
related to diet and health.
The Consultation articulated a new platform, not just of dietary and
nutrient targets, but of a concept of the human organism’s subtle and
complex relationship to its environment in relation to chronic diseases.
The discussions took into account ecological, societal and behavioural
aspects beyond causative mechanisms. The experts looked at diet within
the context of the macroeconomic implications of public health
recommendations on agriculture, and the global supply and demand for
foodstuffs, both fresh and processed. The role of diet in defining the
expression of genetic susceptibility toNCDs, the need for responsible and
creative partnerships with both traditional and non-traditional partners,
andthe importanceof addressing thewhole life course,were all recognized.
Nutrition is coming to the fore as a major modifiable determinant of
chronic disease,with scientific evidence increasingly supporting the view
that alterations in diet have strong effects, both positive and negative, on
health throughout life.Most importantly, dietary adjustments may not
only influence present health, but may determine whether or not an
individual will develop such diseases as cancer, cardiovascular disease
and diabetesmuch later in life.However, these concepts have not led to a
change in policies or in practice. In many developing countries, food
policies remain focused only on undernutrition and are not addressing
the prevention of chronic disease.

Re: (Unknown Armies) Is the line defunct? 
Wow, I still have my preliminary drafts for a never-finished Occult Underground book around - well, since the line's dead, here we go, complete with comments by Ken, John, Greg, and Chad. The History of the UndergroundIn one sense, the Occult Underground has been around ever since humans first began to hide secrets from each other; secrets of power, secrets of sex, secrets of death, sometimes even secrets of wisdom. From the dark rituals of the bear caves to the backroom executions of the New Inquisition, the essential quality of the Underground has always been its hidden nature, its dependence upon the shadows.At the same time, however, the Underground can be defined more sharply. The simple existence of the supernatural did not create the Underground; rather, it is a very specific subculture of the West; born in Rome and now chiefly found in the United States. Magicians, Avatars, secret groups seeking power; these exist everywhere, but outside of the West they have, historically, interacted with each other and the rest of society in very different ways to those of the Underground. The history of the Underground, therefore, is inevitably tied up with Western culture.Just as certain places and times seem peculiarly conducive to art, philosophy, and music, so have some times been better for the Underground than others. The Underground depends on a supply of new adepts - avatars have always been a lesser element – and the cultural conditions under which more people become adepts are quite specific. Magick depends on a deep-seated belief in the power of the individual, a conviction that the will of one person can change the world around him, and so adepts flourish when the society around them allows for individualism, opportunity, and adventure. Times when the world itself seems to be changing, and politics, science, or exploration opens up new worlds,

29. A Short History of Cultural Studies= by John Hartley 2003

This is the first volume to capture the essence of the burgeoning field of cultural studies in a concise and accessible manner. Other books have explored the British and North American traditions, but this is the first guide to the ideas, purposes and controversies that have shaped the subject. The author sheds new light on neglected pioneers and a clear route map through the terrain. He provides lively critical narratives on a dazzling array of key figures including, Arnold, Barrell, Bennett, Carey, Fiske, Foucault, Grossberg, Hall, Hawkes, hooks, Hoggart, Leadbeater, Lissistzky, Malevich, Marx, McLuhan, McRobbie, D Miller, T Miller, Morris, Quiller-Couch, Ross, Shaw, Urry, Williams, Wilson, Wolfe and Woolf. Hartley also examines a host of central themes in the subject including literary and political writing, publishing, civic humanism, political economy and Marxism, sociology, feminism, anthropology and the pedagogy of cultural studies.

30. The BOOK OF ERIS - By ERIS KALLISTI DISCORDIA

Goddess of Chaos and Mother of us All In which the GODDESS explains everything to no one in
particular. This being a Holy Discordian Bible, One of Five predicted by Malcalypse the Younger being
an Advanced Course into The Erisian Mysterees WHICH IS EVEN MORE INTERESTING

Anyone familiar with the Discordians knows the difficulties inherent in describing a vibrant aspect of Paganism
that claims to "have no definition. " With one of the major trends of Discordianism being one of
decentralization and disagreement, is there a way to adequately describe it? To be true to Discordia (the Latin
name of our primary Goddess, Eris), I would have to say 'yes, no, and maybe'.
To start with, there are scores of Discordian cabals across the world and, thanks to the Internet, Discordian
writings and ideas are proliferating. The two most famous Discordian groups are POEE and the Erisian
Liberation Front. Even though many people look at the plethora of humorous writings and dismissit as a
religion, Discordians take their humorous traditions very seriously. . . to a point.
A tradition, or a set of traditions based around the Goddess Eris is by nature paradoxical and difficult to pin
down. But it is, in my opinion, time that other Pagans realize that Eris worshippers are just as respectable as any
other group, despite the fact that we laugh at ourselves and others.
History/Her Story/Eris Comes Out of Her Closet
The foundation of the Discordian movement in modern times comes from the paradoxical writing collection
known as the "Principia Discordia, or How I found the Goddess and what I did with Her when I found Her. " It
tells the story of two young men in a bowling alley who receive the first Erisian Revelation back in 1957 or 58.
(In true Discordian fashion, which year is never cleared up. ) The men go on a search of mythologies and
discover Eris, the Goddess of Confusion, Chaos, and Discord. (Eris is also the Greek word for 'strife'. ) They
surmised that chaos underlies everything, including order and the followers of order. "Look around and you can
see all of the chaos in everything just as much as you can see order. " The two men declare themselves to be
High Priests of their own madness and start a Discordian Society "for whatever that may turn out to be. "
The explosion of the American counter-culture and the revival of surrealism met Discordianism (1960's and
70's) and the result was a Neo-Pagan parody religion of mirth and laughter. During this time the two main
groups of the Discordian Society, POEE 'the Paratheo-Anametamystikhood of Eris Esoteric' and the Erisian
Liberation Front set down the major practices and ideas that have since influenced later groups of Discordians,
most of which were included in later editions of the Principia Discordia. It can also be said (although, many
people will argue against this) that the post-modern magical phenomenon of Chaos Magic developed under
Discordian influences. The main difference between Discordians and Chaos Mages is that Discordians revere
the Goddess Eris, whereas Chaos Mages revere whatever works at the moment. Discordian thought runs a full
spectrum from believers in a literal Goddess Eris to those who hold a healthy agnosticism towards all gods.

31. Knowledge and Wisdom - by Bertrand Russell

Most people would agree that, although our age far surpasses all previous ages in
knowledge, there has been no correlative increase in wisdom. But agreement ceases as
soon as we attempt to define `wisdom' and consider means of promoting it. I want to ask
first what wisdom is, and then what can be done to teach it.
There are, I think, several factors that contribute to wisdom. Of these I should put first a
sense of proportion: the capacity to take account of all the important factors in a problem
and to attach to each its due weight. This has become more difficult than it used to be
owing to the extent and complexity fo the specialized knowledge required of various
kinds of technicians. Suppose, for example, that you are engaged in research in scientific
medicine. The work is difficult and is likely to absorb the whole of your intellectual
energy. You have not time to consider the effect which your discoveries or inventions
may have outside the field of medicine. You succeed (let us say), as modern medicine h as
succeeded, in enormously lowering the infant death -rate, not only in Europe and
America, but also in Asia and Africa. This has the entirely unintended result of making
the food supply inadequate and lowering the standard of life in the most populous parts of
the world. To take an even more spectacular example, which is in everybody's mind at
the present time: You study the composistion of the atom from a disinterested desire for
knowledge, and incidentally place in the hands of powerful lunatics the mean s of
destroying the human race. In such ways the pursuit of knowledge may becorem harmful
unless it is combined with wisdom; and wisdom in the sense of comprehensive vision is
not necessarily present in specialists in the pursuit of knowledge.
