Review:Timeless wisdom

The same conversations that saturate and permeate our media, our lives, our relationships were happening hundreds of years ago. The same human condition. The same questions. A beautiful book. Read more

112 Meditations to Discover the Mystery Within - The Book of Secrets

Review:After reading this book, not only will your outlook on life change, but so will your life. If you want to know more about life and yourself please get this book. OSHO is/was a great person and the sole purpose of this book is to help you. Read more

Leviathan (Wordsworth Classics of World Literature)
Leviathan (Wordsworth Classics of World Literature)

Review:A must-read for any English major! Other than that. . . sections of Hobbes' argument have been greatly helpful in writing articles for my blog; you'd be surprised at how much video games and certain works of literature cross over. Read more

The Hermetica: The Lost Wisdom of the Pharaohs

Review:The physical copy that I received is horrible. The book was cut improperly- on a slant. The ends of many sentences on many pages have simply been (literally) cut out. Check out the pics and see for yourself. Hey, at $5 ain't gonna take the time to return this unreadable copy; but, please avoid the mistake that I made and purchase elsewhere. Read more

A Study of The Hermetic Philosophy of Ancient Egypt and Greece

Review:I liked that the main principles of Hermetics were laid out in an organized way. If you are an advanced student of spirituality and understand works like what Neville Giddard wrote about, you can read this and understand how it's all so true. Read more

Life and Language in the Amazonian Jungle (Vintage Departures)
Life and Language in the Amazonian Jungle (Vintage Departures)

Review:It was interesting, but I eventually stopped reading it out of frustration with the author who started contradicting himself in terms of what these people's culture means to them and certain characteristics of it; and not in the way that shows growth or a change of heart after having experienced living amongst them for a longer period of time, I mean outright conflicting descriptions. I would still recommend checking it out just for its uniqueness. Read more

How the World's Most Notorious Atheist Changed His Mind
How the World's Most Notorious Atheist Changed His Mind

Review:Characteristic Flew - even with a ghost writer. It is only a short summary of some of the available evidence and thought, but he hits the high points. There certainly are better books out there. May I recommend God's Undertaker, by Lennox, for the inquiring mind who wants a more in depth discussion? Read more

The Egyptian Origins of Western Philosophy - Stolen Legacy
The Egyptian Origins of Western Philosophy - Stolen Legacy

Review:Updated on April 20, 2011:

I'm thrilled to finally be able to buy a 2nd copy that can take the abuse of several readings. This small book delivers a ton of information without boredom. James (the author) reveals a lot of historical facts based on his research (which he cites the sources). For example, the actual birth dates and time lived of Aristotle, Plato, and Socrates is still unsettled and argued. Shortly after the conquest of Alexandria, Alexander the Great invited Aristotle to spe... Read more

The Personal Philosophies of Remarkable Men and Women

Review:Kudos to Jay Allison and Dan Gediman for reviving this great Edward R. Murrow radio series on PBS and now putting the essays in book form. In our current times of war and hunger, this book puts a heart warming touch on life and makes it seem so much brighter. A must read. Read more
