Like the psychomagic and metagenealogy therapies he created, this autobiography exposes the mythic models and family templates upon whichthe events of everyday life are founded. It reveals the development of Jodorowsky’srealization that all problems are rooted in the family tree and explains, through vividexamples from his own life, particularly interactions with his father and mother, howthe individual’s road to true fulfillment means casting off the phantoms projected byparents on their children.Dance of Reality is autobiography as an act of healing. Through the retelling of his ownlife, the author shows we do not start off with our own personalities, they are given to usby one or more members of our family tree. To be born into a family, Jodorowsky says, isto be possessed. To peer back into our past is equivalent to digging into our own souls.If we can dig deep enough, beyond familial projections, we shall find an inner light—alight that can help us through life’s most difficult tests.Offering a glimpse into the mind and life of one of the most creative and enigmaticvisionaries of our time, Dance of Reality is the book upon which Jodorowsky’s criticallyacclaimed 2013 Cannes Film Festival film of the same name was based.Alejandro Jodorowsky is a filmmaker who made the legendary cult films El Topo andThe Holy Mountain. His most recent film, Dance of Reality, debuted at the CannesFilm Festival in 2013. He is the author of more than 20 books, including Psychomagic,The Way of Tarot, and Metagenealogy.

September 2014China’s CosmologicalPrehistoryThe Sophisticated Science Encoded in Civilization’sEarliest Symbolslaird scrantonan examination of the earliest creation traditions and symbols of chinaand their similarities to those of other ancient cultures reveals the deep parallels between early chinese words and those of otherancient creation traditions such as the hieroglyphics of ancient egypt explores the 8 stages of creation in taoism and the cosmological origins ofchinese ancestor worship, the zodiac, the mandala, and the i ching Provides further evidence that the cosmology of all ancient cultures arose from asingle now-lost sourceBuilding on his extensive research into the sacred symbols and creation myths of theDogon of Africa and those of ancient Egypt, India, and Tibet, Laird Scranton investigates the myths, symbols, and traditions of prehistoric China, providing further evidence that the cosmology of all ancient cultures arose from a single now-lost source.Scranton explores the fundamental similarities between the language that definedancient Chinese cosmology and that of other creation traditions, revealing the connections between the phonetic structure of the words, their glyphs, and their use. Hedemonstrates striking parallels between the earliest systems of writing in China andthe hieroglyphs of ancient Egypt. He examines the 8 levels of creation in Taoism andthe cosmological origins of Chinese ancestor worship, mythical emperors, the zodiac,the mandala, and the I Ching. He details the fundamental principles of land-use inancient China in relation to the symbolism of a Buddhist stupa and the Dogon granary,ritual shrines that are also the central symbol of other creation traditions. Understandingthe true meanings of these symbol complexes also reveals the sophisticated scientificunderstanding of these ancient cultures, for these creation symbols directly correlatewith our modern understanding of atoms and the energetic makeup of matter.In exploring Chinese cosmological traditions, Scranton sheds new light on the contention that the sacred knowledge of the ancients is the legacy of an earlier culture whogave primitive humanity the tools they needed to birth the first known civilizations.Laird Scranton is an independent software designer who has studied ancient myth,language, and cosmology for more than a decade. An authority on Dogon mythologyand symbolism, he is the author of The Science of the Dogon, Sacred Symbols of theDogon, Cosmological Origins of Myth and Symbol, and The Velikovsky Heresies.

He entered on this path through achance encounter with a professional ghost hunter. After training with her, he returnedto Oregon where he began exorcising ghosts for friends and acquaintances and, as hereveals in these pages, quickly stumbled upon forces far beyond his level of experience.Sharing his true story of what can go wrong when ghost hunting, Braschler describeshis training sessions with the professional ghost hunter and details his most difficult anddangerous attempts to remove spirits from haunted buildings, including an old churchin Portland and an herbalist’s trailer on Mount Hood, where he encountered a spiritknown to choke people in their sleep. He explains how not all spirits are simply ghosts ofdeceased people reluctant to move on from this plane of existence. They may be entitiescreated from the rage, hatred, or frustrations of a building’s current or former inhabitants, and disturbing them can lead to dark confrontations without easy resolution.Offering a primer on ghost removal, Braschler provides practical lists of what to doand what to avoid when removing ghosts from a haunted building. He outlines how toidentify what kind of spirit you are dealing with, whether it is safe to attempt removal,and how to approach the ghost and convince it to leave.

They exerted a remarkable influence on the destiny of Central Asia,yet their chief significance lies in their almost unparalleled depth of spiritual perfection.Based on primary Persian and Turkish sources, the same texts used by the Sufiauthority Idries Shah in his many books, Masters of Wisdom of Central Asia explores theentire lineage of teachers in the Naqshbandi order of Turkish Sufism. Author HasanShushud provides brief biographies of each teacher, such as Yusuf Hamdani, the firstrecognized Khwajagan; Ahmad al-Yasavi, the father of Turkish Sufism; and Baha’ alDin Naqshband, from whom the Naqshbandi order of Sufis took its name.

From 1990 to 1995 he performed the first new human studies with psychedelic drugs in the United States in more than 20 years, focusing onthe powerful naturally occurring compound DMT.

He found that the visions of the Hebrew prophets—such as Ezekiel,Moses, Adam, and Daniel—were strikingly similar to those of the volunteers in hisDMT studies. Carefully examining the concept of prophecy in the Hebrew Bible, hecharacterizes a “prophetic state of consciousness” and explains how it may share biological and metaphysical mechanisms with the DMT effect.Examining medieval commentaries on the Hebrew Bible, Strassman reveals howJewish metaphysics provides a top-down model for both the prophetic and DMT states,a model he calls “theoneurology.” Theoneurology bridges biology and spirituality byproposing that the Divine communicates with us using the brain, and DMT—whethernaturally produced or ingested—is a critical factor in such visionary experience. Thismodel provides a counterpoint to “neurotheology,” which proposes that altered brainfunction simply generates the impression of a Divine-human encounter.Theoneurology addresses issues critical to the full flowering of the psychedelic drugexperience. Perhaps even more important, it points the way to a renewal of classicalprophetic consciousness, the soul of Hebrew Bible prophecy, as well as unexpecteddirections for the evolution of contemporary spiritual practice.AuthorRick Strassman, M.D.Of Related InterestInner Paths to Outer SpaceRick Strassman, M.D., SlawekWojtowicz, M.D., Luis Eduardo Luna,Ph.D., and Ede Frecska, M.D.Park Street PressISBN 978-1-59477-224-5 19.95 (CAN 22.50) pb17,000 copies soldPlants of the GodsRichard Evans Schultes,Albert Hofmann, and Christian RätschHealing Arts PressISBN 978-0-89281-979-9 29.95 (CAN 43.50) pb70,000 copies sold7

At its core resides a perennial challenge:What letter shapes traced by human hands are rightful bearers of the divine message?The answer lies in the “Proportioned Script” of Ibn Muqla, renowned scribe, man of letters, and minister under the great Abbasid Caliphate in 10th-century Baghdad.Emphasizing harmony and geometry, Ibn Muqla’s system has governed the practiceof Arabic scribal art up to the present day. In this two-volume, richly illustrated study,Ahmed Moustafa and Stefan Sperl analyze each letter form of Ibn Muqla’s perfectedpenmanship and share their decades of research on Islamic letter shapes, revealingthe history, linguistics, philosophy, theology, and sacred geometry that underlie thisspiritual art form.In volume one the authors reveal the trilogy of prophecy, penmanship, and geometry at the foundation of Ibn Muqla’s Proportioned Script. Providing a fully illustratedanalysis of Islamic calligraphy’s geometrical principles as transmitted in surviving writings and key manuscript sources, they examine the geometric grid of square, circle, andhexagon that informs the pen strokes of each letter shape and explore how the goldenratio appears within the matrix of the grid. They examine the development of IbnMuqla’s system in the context of the sciences, arts, and penmanship of 10th-centuryBaghdad and trace its origins to the cross-cultural encounter between Greek learningand the scientific, artistic, and philosophical pursuits of classical Islam. In volume twothe authors analyze the calligraphic forms of each letter of the Arabic alphabet. Theydecode the sacred geometry of each form as it appears within the geometric grid, providing letter samples from ancient sources.Unearthing the theoretical and scientific foundations of Arabic calligraphy, thislandmark study examines the aesthetic implications of Ibn Muqla’s theory for thevisual, verbal, and aural arts of Islam as well as the Islamic mystical tradition.Ahmed Moustafa is an Islamic artist and Arabic master scribe who received hisoriginal training in Western art.
