Before Jiddu Krishnamurti declared that “truth is a pathless land,” an international spiritual movement had spent years preparing him to become its World Teacher. No Throne for Truth: J. Krishnamurti Before the Pathless Land brings together four early works from 1910-1928, allowing the listener to hear a remarkable transformation unfold. These writings do more than preserve an early philosophy; placed together, they reveal its formation. We first encounter the young disciple speaking from within the spiritual structure that shaped him. As the years pass, the emphasis begins to change.

The Pool of Wisdom, originally published in 1928, preserves Krishnamurti at that decisive threshold. Its talks and addresses include The Pool of Wisdom, Who Brings the Truth, By What Authority, and three poems, together with material connected to the Order of the Star. Here Krishnamurti still speaks the language of the World Teacher, the Beloved, Maitreya, spiritual evolution, karma, liberation, and the Masters —yet he is already questioning the authority, labels, organizations, and inherited forms surrounding them. These pages provide a rare document of transition.

Before J. Krishnamurti became one of the twentieth century’s most influential critics of spiritual authority, he was known to the world as Alcyone—the young disciple believed by many Theosophists to be the future vehicle of a coming World Teacher. First published in 1910, At the Feet of the Master presents a concise path of spiritual preparation built around four qualities: discrimination, desirelessness, good conduct, and love. Written in direct, accessible language, it calls the student toward self-discipline, compassion, clarity, and service.

The Book of the Law (Liber AL vel Legis) is one of the most influential and controversial spiritual texts of the modern era. First received in Cairo in 1904, it has shaped movements, inspired artists, unsettled institutions, and resisted explanation for more than a century. This edition presents the text without commentary. The core work appears here exactly as transmitted, without annotation, interpretation, or doctrinal guidance. No effort is made to explain the verses or resolve their meaning. The text stands alone.

The Space-Born is a rare poetic work by Manly P. Hall, presented here as a complete cycle of meditative poems reflecting on human consciousness and its relationship to the infinite. Best known for works such as The Secret Teachings of All Ages and Initiates of the Flame, Hall adopts a quieter and more interior voice in this volume. These poems do not teach through argument or exposition, but through image, rhythm, and reflective cadence. Together, they form a contemplative sequence concerned with inner awakening, moral responsibility, and the meeting point between spirit and lived experience.

The evolution of the Sacred Worship of Sophia, Mary Magdalene, and Mother Mary are traced through the Gnostic Scriptures. Sophia would come to be considered a force or conduit of the Holy Spirit, in part due to the fact that the Holy Spirit was also considered a feminine and creative force from the Supreme God. As the emerging orthodox church became more and more oppressive to women, later even labeling them "occasions of sin", the Gnostics countered by raising women to equal status.

In this volume, we have attempted to gather the most interesting and influential Gospels and Apocalypses attributed to the Apostles, in the hope that these books may reveal to the listener something hitherto unknown.

The search for wisdom has been the pole-star of humanity for 6,000 years. Religions have come and gone, philosophies have failed, but those surviving wells of wisdom go deep and yield sweet refreshment for the soul. Buddhism, Taoism, Hinduism, Zen, and Eastern Christian writings have served as pathways to peace and enlightenment, but the path is not easily traveled. Wisdom is a harsh master, demanding authenticity and truth. No self-delusion or protection will be tolerated. The seeker must be spiritually eviscerated.

In the winter of 1886-87, a French archaeological team headed by M. Grébant was digging in Akhmîm in Upper Egypt. The team was excavating part of the grounds of an ancient monastery, where monks, priests, bishops, and holy men were interred.

The Cloud upon the Sanctuary is an inspirational work of Christian mysticism which speaks directly and symbolically to those who listen. This book was highly regarded amongst the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn and influenced the work of Aleister Crowley.

The Gospel of Thomas has been a flame of enlightenment in the world for almost 2,000 years. Once, almost extinguished, it has returned to us in ways most have never imagined. Today, the Gospel of Thomas leads us both spiritually and psychologically. In this work we will delve deeply into the spiritual and psychological meaning and application of each verse. We will gain a profound understanding of our nature and we will see how Gnosticism has influenced the development of modern psychology, under the hand of Carl G. Jung.

Follow author Joseph Lumpkin in his dive into Gnosticism. As a follow-up to his book "Tour of Gnosticism," where gnostic cosmology is explored in conjunction with mainstream Christendom, Lumpkin has released this jaw-dropping volume of influential Gnostic texts. Lumpkin takes it a step further by coupling the text with lessons on common themes in Gnosticism, historical context for the texts, and expert commentary exploring the differences in the largest gnostic sects.

The Kybalion, published in 1908 under the mysterious name The Three Initiates, presents itself as a study of Hermetic philosophy: a compact system of principles said to govern mind, matter, motion, causation, polarity, rhythm, and the relationship between the visible and invisible worlds.

No discovery since the Dead Sea Scrolls has rocked the Christian world like that of the newly translated Gospel of Judas. Imagine Judas, the man all of Christendom has hated for 2,000 years, now portrayed as the chosen one, the martyr, the scapegoat, and the man instructed and appointed by Jesus himself to orchestrate and carry out the greatest treachery of all time. Come with us as we explore the Gospel of Judas. We will attempt to fill the gaps in the text and the theology.

The Apocryphon, or "Secrets" of John forms the cornerstone of Gnostic mythology and cosmology. In this text we are introduced to the major entities of creation and lordship. We learn how the universe, including earth and man, came into being. The origin of evil, the creator god, and the material world are explained in detail. The story seems to be a mixture of various belief systems, including those of Plato, who seems to have borrowed freely from the format of Greek mythology, and Christianity. The story is loosely based on Genesis chapters one through 13 as a timeline.

The well-known and acclaimed work of Dr. Joseph Lumpkin has been enlarged to include new research on the Books of Enoch, Fallen Angels, the Watchers, and the Nephilim. After presenting extensive historical backgrounds and brilliant translations of The First, Second, and Third Books of Enoch, Lumpkin takes time to piece together a historical narrative of Fallen Angels, the Watcher, and the Nephilim, using his extensive knowledge of ancient texts.

First published in 1928, Manly P. Hall’s The Secret Teachings of All Ages stands as one of the most comprehensive studies of symbolic philosophy ever produced. Written while Hall was still in his early twenties and largely self-educated, the work reflects a remarkable synthesis of sources and traditions that would later earn him recognition as an honorary 33rd-degree Freemason. This audiobook presents a complete modern rendering of that work, prepared for sustained listening and careful study.

Among the first seven scrolls discovered in the caves of Qumran at the Dead Sea is a scroll given the name "The Book of Giants". It is thought to have been based on the Book of Enoch, a pseudepigraphical Jewish work from the third century BCE. The Book of Giants, like the Book of Enoch, concerns itself with the Nephilim, which are the offspring of fallen angels, who are called the Watchers. Two main versions of the text exist. The Dead Sea version is written in Aramaic.

Paradoxes of the Highest Science does not contain the paths to great wealth, the secrets to prosperity, nor the call to power; on the contrary, this work will provide the uninitiated glimpses of the true nature of the occult, hints of universal truth and wisdom.  

In time the Piby shall contain all worthy prophecies and inspirations endowed by God upon the sons and daughters of Ethiopia, but no article shall be permitted to enter the Piby save that which is in accordance with the gospel of the 20th century, preached by his holiness, Shepherd Athlyi, apostle Marcus Garvey and colleague; the three apostles anointed and sent forth by the Almighty God to lay the foundation of industry, liberty and justice unto the generations of Ethiopia that they prove themselves a power among the nations and in the glory of their God.
