First published in 1902, In Tune with the Infinite stands as one of the foundational works of early American spiritual philosophy, drawing together threads from Transcendentalism, Christian mysticism, and the emerging mental science movement. Ralph Waldo Trine writes at a time when the modern world was beginning to recognize invisible forces—electricity, magnetism, and the unseen systems shaping daily life. Within this context, he presents a parallel insight: that such forces are not only external, but inwardly accessible through the alignment of thought, character, and purpose.

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.

What remains when the disturbances of the mind become still? First published in 1889, William Q. Judge’s The Yoga Aphorisms of Patanjali introduced generations of English-language readers to one of the foundational texts of classical yoga philosophy. Far removed from the modern image of yoga as primarily physical exercise, Patanjali’s aphorisms explore concentration, meditation, discipline, perception, consciousness, attachment, extraordinary states of mind, and ultimately liberation.

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.

Yoga is divided into several branches, ranging from that which teaches the control of the body, to that which teaches the attainment of the highest spiritual development. In the work we will not go into the higher phases of the subject, except when the "science of breath" touches upon the same. The Science of Breath touches yoga at many points, and although chiefly concerned with the development and control of the physical, has also its psychic side, and even enters the field of spiritual development.

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.

Somewhere in our antediluvian past, mankind both technologically and socially surged forward in a single leap. Going from being hunter-gatherers to city dwellers and inventors, we intellectually bloomed in a second of historical time. For millions of years, we as a species saw little change, but around the time primitive men began drawing pictures in caves depicting aliens, flying machines, and spacecraft, suddenly everything changed, and man began to invent, create, build, and imagine a future. Synchronicity of these events cannot go unnoticed.

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.

Is mankind headed for destruction? How will it all end? When will it happen? What is man's destiny? Will we die by our own hand or by the hand of God? For thousands of years, the questions have been the same. Millions of souls have searched for the answers to no avail; nevertheless, some believed they knew. We call them prophets. They saw the end of our world, and they believed their visions were true.

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 text known as "Second Enoch," was discovered in 1886 by Professor Sokolov in the archives of the Belgrade Public Library. The Second Book of Enoch, or 2 Enoch was written in the latter half of the first century A.D. but had gone through alterations and additions to make it more acceptable to the Christian community. It was written in Slavonic, but had evidence of being translated from another language.

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.

In The Education of Children from the Standpoint of Theosophy, Rudolf Steiner asks parents and educators to begin somewhere deeper than instruction: What is actually developing inside a child—and what does each stage of childhood need from us? Long before “whole-child education,” developmental learning, and child-centered classrooms became familiar language, Steiner argued that children should not simply be treated as smaller adults. They unfold.

In this work, we shall regard as the true phenomena of psychomancy all the various phenomena known as psychometry; crystal gazing; perceiving distant scenes; a perception of past events and indication of future events; either in the full waking state; the state of reverie; or the state of dreams.

The human aura is the subtle, invisible emanation radiating from every individual. The human aura is a very important and interesting phase of every personality, and in this audiobook, we discuss how to access and implement knowledge of the human aura in a practical way to enhance everyday life experiences.

Ralph Waldo Trine was an important New Thought writer. In Tune with the Infinite is often cited as the inspiration for Napoleon Hill's Think and Grow Rich. As with all New Thought writers, Trine's work helped to shape the current crop of self-help books, such as The Secret, The Power of Positive Thinking, and The Law of Attraction.

The value of The Book of Jasher is seen in the large quantity of additional detail revealed from the period between divine creation and the time of Joshua's leadership over Israel when the Israelites enter into the land of Canaan. The Book of Jasher includes details about the antediluvian patriarchs, angels, watchers, the flood, the tower of Babel, and many other events mentioned in the Bible. The tales are expanded and infused with detail not previously available. This means we receive insight into the lives of Abraham, Noah, Enoch, Joseph, and many others.

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.
