Supreme among the wonders of antiquity, unrivaled by the achievements of later architects and builders, the Great Pyramid of Gizeh bears mute witness to an unknown civilization which, having completed its predestined span, passed into oblivion. Eloquent in its silence, inspiring in its majesty, divine in its simplicity, the Great Pyramid is indeed a sermon in stone.

How many naturalists, geologists, zoologists, or botanists are asking one another today whether Plato has not transmitted to us, with slight amplification, a page from the actual history of mankind? No affirmation is yet permissible, but it seems more and more evident that a vast region, continental or made up of great islands, has collapsed west of the Pillars of Hercules, otherwise called the Strait of Gibraltar, and that its collapse occurred in the not far distant past.

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.

To the discerning few were revealed the esoteric, or spiritual, teachings, while the unqualified received only the literal, or exoteric, interpretations. In order to make simple the great truths of nature and the abstract principles of natural law, the vital forces of the universe were personified, becoming the gods and goddesses of the ancient mythologies. While the ignorant multitudes brought their offerings to the altars of Priapus and Pan, the wise recognized in these marble statues only symbolic concretions of great abstract truths.

Prakashananda distinguishes between the **outer consciousness**, occupied with sensation and the external world, and an **inner consciousness** that can be explored, disciplined, strengthened, and deliberately brought into greater awareness.

Upanishads came to be regarded as the teachings forming the concluding section of the Vedic corpus.

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.

In Your Word Is Your Wand, Florence Scovel Shinn takes one of the central ideas of New Thought and gives it unforgettable form: your spoken word carries creative power. Long before manifestation became a modern buzzword, Shinn was teaching readers to treat language as spiritual force. Speak fear, and you strengthen fear. Speak lack, and you rehearse limitation.

So the people shouted when the priests blew with the trumpets: And it came to pass, when the people heard the sound of the trumpet, and the people shouted with a great shout, that the wall fell down flat, so that the people went up into the city, every man straight before him, and they took the city.

Talking with thousands of Christians, we noticed many believers were unaware or didn’t understand the depth of the Bible’s wisdom or its secrets. After teaching for seven years, we realized many of these secrets were not known to people or they didn’t know the value of these fruitful lessons. We will try to explain these concepts to you so that you can understand them on a deep level to have a huge impact on your life.

Florence Scovel Shinn’s The Game of Life and How to Play It is one of the foundational classics behind today’s language of manifestation, Law of Attraction, affirmations, abundance, visualization, and spiritual success—but Shinn gives these ideas an unmistakably biblical and almost magical edge. Her premise is simple: Life is a game governed by spiritual laws. Learn the laws, and you can play differently. What you continually rehearse in your mind can begin shaping the life around you.

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.

Several schools of Zen developed in China in the 9th century. The Rinzai (Chinese, Lin-chi) sect of Zen was introduced to Japan by the Chinese priest Ensai in 1191. Rinzai Buddhism emphasizes the use of koans, paradoxical puzzles or questions that help the practitioner to overcome the normal boundaries of logic. Whatever the method of reaching enlightenment, once reached we realize the state of enlightenment we sought was there within us all along.

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.

Sihastrul: The Hermit is the first in a series that introduces the eponymous hero as an ambiguous character associated with the time before creation. A proto-human of sorts, with tiny wings in his forehead, the Hermit lives in a duration across time and space.
