Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. 'Black Beauty' is the absorbing tale of a fine, spirited colt who begins life with a sympathetic owner in an idyllic country setting. Told from the point of view of the horse itself, the book follows the life of Black Beauty as he is sold to various masters, some of whom are indifferent to…animal suffering. Anna Sewell's genius lies in making the world of the horse, with its own joys, jealousies, hopes and anxieties, as real to us as that of any human. Although now famed as a children's classic, Sewell originally wrote the book as a reaction to the inhuman treatment meted out to horses in Victorian England. In this she was very successful - from its first publication in 1877 'Black Beauty' has had a huge impact, altering public perceptions of animal welfare and spurring legislation to protect both horses and donkeys. This is a tale of a spirited colt who begins life with a kind owner in an idyllic country setting. Told from the horse's viewpoint, the story traces his life as he is sold to various masters, some indifferent to animal suffering. This was a sad reality in Victorian England and with 'Black Beauty' Sewell successfully signalled the need for change.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. One of the founders of modern Anarchism, Michael Bakunin renounced his noble birth to protest the Czar's autocratic rule. As a result, he was imprisoned for eight years, then exiled to Siberia, whence he escaped and made his way - via America - to Western Europe, gradually perfecting his th…eory of anarchist society.God and the State is the concise distillation of Bakunin's ideas. It sees religion as a weapon of repressive government, which by its insistence of submission to the "Big Boss" in heaven, sets a precedent for submission to a host of earthly rulers (many of whom claim to be divinely appointed). Bakunin also rails against idealism, which he argues leads always to brutality, while those who deal with the brutal realities of the world serve to raise mankind towards the ideal. A true materialist, he sees no place for God in society, famously reversing Voltaire's dictum by declaring that, for the emancipation of humanity, "If God did exist, it would be necessary to abolish Him".As a manifesto and introduction to anarchist thought, God and the State is a tour de force of logical arguments that remains a mind-expanding experience, even for those whose beliefs oppose Bakunin's deicidal tendencies. As an introduction to anarchist thought, 'God and the State' remains unsurpassed. Bakunin was one of the founders of Anarchism, sees religion as a weapon of repressive government that must be demolished ("If God did exist, it would be necessary to abolish Him"). A mind-expanding read, even for those who oppose Bakunin's deicidal tendencies. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Leo Tolstoy was much more than a writer of world famous novels. An avid social thinker, he was a supporter of 'Georgism' a revolutionary economic theory that advocated the abolition of all taxes except those on land ownership (see Progress and Poverty, Aziloth Book). But in early middle age… Tolstoy suffered a spiritual crisis, enduring recurrent bouts of religious and moral misgivings which took over three decades to resolve. My Confession (the original title, better known today as A Confession) is the great man's account of these trials, of his anguish, confusion and missteps, and of his final reconciliation with faith, Deity and the purpose of life. This simple, beautifully constructed account of a great writer's spiritual journey will chime with all those who have sought after the true meaning of existence and the transcendent verities lying behind all religious life. While you may not fully agree with his conclusion, Tolstoy's My Confession will both uplift and give new insights into the multifarious - and at times surprising - associations between emotion, reason and faith. In middle age Leo Tolstoy suffered a spiritual crisis that lasted over 30 years. 'My Confession' is an account of the anguish, confusion and missteps of this ordeal, and of his final reconciliation with faith and the purpose of life. A book that both uplifts and gives new insights into the intricate associations between reason and faith.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Written at the time of the Russian February 1917 Revolution, before the Bolshevik take-over in October, this is Lenin's tour de force, a rebuttal of the views of Krautsky and other 'opportunists' who had fudged Marx's core teachings for their own political ends.Using quotes from Marx and En…gels, Lenin shows that the state arises directly out of class antagonisms, that it is violent (police/army/repressive laws) and has the ultimate purpose of suppressing the 'wage-slave' proletariat in favour of the 'bourgeoisie' i.e. the class who own, and profit from, the means of production. The state bureaucracy inevitably becomes unaccountable and able, at will, to subvert any movement towards mass democracy.For Lenin, such a system leads inevitably to revolution. But to prevent the usual reversion to a similarly corrupt system, Lenin calls for the 'dictatorship of the armed proletariat', by which the majority forcibly dispossess the minority (bourgeois former-owners) and bring the means of production into common ownership. This proletarian state is temporary. If the state arises directly out of class antagonisms, then as class concerns are obliterated the state itself, that machine of privilege and oppression, will gradually wither away.The State and Revolution is an important work, an indispensable read for all those interested in the ideas underpinning a Socialist Society. Lenins classic rebuttal of the Marxist revisionism, revealing how the state arises from class antagonisms, represses the mass of working people, and must be replaced by an `armed proletariat that brings the means of production into common ownership. An indispensable read for all those interested in the underpinnings of Socialist Society. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Gustave Le Bon's seminal work on crowd psychology has made a huge impact on society since it was first written in 1896. Le Bon shows how a mass of people resembles a simple multi-celled organism, and how rationality and reasoning rapidly decline to the lowest common multiple. In many ways,…a crowd's consciousness resembles the Unconscious mind of psychoanalysis. Crowds 'think' in images, each 'cell' is freed from personal responsibility and all things appear possible. This is the origin of the multitude's often irrational beliefs and their ability to perform acts of unbelievable heroism or disgusting brutality. Successful leaders, such as Alexander, Joan of Arc, Napoleon and Hitler, have an instinctive but sure knowledge of crowd psychology; they coin phrases and conjure images that resonate, pushing the masses forward with an unstoppable momentum that can change world history.To read this book is to realise its deep relevance to our own time. The pattern repeats itself again and again. Societies age, their certainties and traditions falter, and new thoughts, new visions - many impossibly utopian - are avidly seized upon by the 'single-brained crowd' who drive the dream via sublime bravery and degrading bestiality towards a new, but always temporary, equilibrium. Le Bon's seminal work on crowd psychology is hugely relevant today. Critical thought rapidly declines in crowds, leading to often irrational beliefs, and acts of startling heroism or brutality. Successful leaders conjure simple phrases and images that resonate with the masses, pushing them forward with a momentum that can change world history.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Born in Britain around 390 AD, St Patrick was taken as a slave to Ireland at the age of 16. Instigated by divine dreams, he escaped to his native land and became a priest until - obeying further dreams - he returned to Ireland as a bishop around 432, converting many and establishing the fir…st Irish church at Armagh. He died in Down, around 460. 'The Confession of St Patrick' and 'Letter to the Soldiers of Coroticus' are both written by the Saint himself. The 'Confession' was penned as a response to (unfounded) attacks on Patrick's integrity, while the 'Letter' derives from a slave-collecting attack undertaken by soldiers of the Scottish Christian King Coroticus, and reveals Patrick's incandescent rhetorical style. Both these unique documents open a window to the voice of the Saint, speaking more than 1500 years before our own time. 'The Tripartite Life' is late 9th century; it is the earliest example of Irish language hagiography, and is remarkable for the most famous poem about Patrick: the 'Lorica'. Its three parts are designed to be read consecutively over the three days of the Saint's festival. "Unique documents, they reveal the authentic voice of the Saint (and his sometimes fiery rhetoric), speaking plainly across a span of 1500 years."-- Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. George Robert Stow Mead (1863-1933) is a key figure in the revival and interpretation of Gnosticism and indeed the entire western esoteric tradition. He joined the Theosophical Society after graduating from Cambridge in 1884, and five years later became the private secretary of the Society'…s founder, H. P. Blavatsky, editing most of her published works and her magazine 'Lucifer'. He also followed his own lines of research, resulting in books such as 'Plotinus', 'Pistis Sophia' and the present work, each of them scholarly, comprehensive in scope, and eminently readable. Mead shows 'The Chaldean Oracles' to be the remains of a mystery-poem forming part of the inner initiation of a School or Order, and with painstaking scholarship he interprets the fragments into a cohesive pattern. A key figure in the western esoteric revival, GRS Mead joined the Theosophical Society and thereafter followed many lines of original research. In this scholarly and eminently readable book, Mead reveals 'The Chaldean Oracles' as an initiatory mystery-poem of an ancient esoteric School, skilfully interpreting the fragments into a cohesive patter Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Unabridged, with authors' biographical sketchesThis selection of inspirational works by two highly respected Jesuits from the late renaissance is a guide for those who seek "the peace which passeth all understanding."While Saint-Jure preceded de la Colombiere by some fifty years their messa…ges are perfectly aligned. Addressing thorny questions such as 'why does God allow evil?' and 'should we pray for money and material well-being?', the authors give clear answers and conclude with what they believe to be a universal truth: namely that, man's sins apart, God is responsible for all that happens to us and as God loves us and has our interests at heart, everything - joyous or painful - is for our own good. Trusting acceptance of this belief will allow us to perceive the trials and tribulations of our lives in a positive way and will thus bring great serenity.Trustful Surrender to Divine Providence is a little gem of a book whose message accords with many other non-Christian mystical disciplines and, as such, is a valuable lodestar for all who wish to progress on the path no matter what their religious provenance.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Abu HA med Mohammad Al-GhazzA lA" was born in the city of Tus, Persia, in the year 1058. Al Ghazali was a polymath and wrote authoritatively on jurisprudence, theology and philosophy. But his world-view was decidedly mystical and he soon joined the Sufi Brotherhood - an esoteric group viewe…d with suspicion by orthodox Muslim clerics of his day. Following a spiritual crisis at the age of 37, he resigned from his professorship in Baghdad, and retired from the world to practice sufi spiritual disciplines. It was during this time Al Ghazali wrote his masterwork, 'Ihya'ul ulumuddin' (The Revival of the Religious Sciences) which finally won acceptance for Sufism in Islam, and the respect of Medieval western scholars such as St Thomas Aquinas. 'The Alchemy of Happiness' is Al Ghazali's own abridgement of this colossal work. Full of wisdom and compassion, 'The Alchemy of Happiness' is replete with telling comparisons and penetrating allegories. It is a book that works upon the innermost soul, forcing the reader to view his True Self with all its inadequacies, and offering a path to Union with God through Love. Al Ghazali was an 11th century writer on jurisprudence, theology and philosophy. This work reveals his mystical inclination and his espousal of sufism, an esoteric Islamic group viewed with suspicion by orthodox Muslim clerics of his day. This is an ascetic's call for spiritual purification and union with God through Love. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Dr. George W. Carey was an American physician famous for his mineral-based theory of disease, and his oft-quoted statement that the human body is a "chemical formula in operation." Carey's deep interest in esoteric subjects, combined with this medical expertise, convinced him that character…s and events in the bible were in reality coded 'personifications' of the occult physiological processes leading to Enlightenment. This secret teaching, he believed, was suppressed at the council of Nicea in AD 325, and has remained secret ever since. In this complete and unabridged edition of 'God-Man, the word made flesh' Carey leads the reader through this code, revealing a cornucopia of astounding new ideas and interpretations, which nevertheless hold together within a logically consistent framework - a new, biochemical understanding of the Path of Illumination. Essential reading for all those interested in Shekinah, Kundalini, and occult studies in general. The human body is a "chemical formula in operation" was an oft-quoted statement by Dr. George W. Carey. His medical expertise combined with a deep esoteric knowledge convinced him that characters and events in the bible were actually coded 'personifications' of the occult physiological processes leading to Enlightenment.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Major General Smedley D Butler was a military hero of the first rank, the winner of two Medals of Honour, a true 'fighting marine' whose courage and patriotism could not be doubted. Yet he came to believe that the wars in which he and his men had fought and bled and died were all pre-planne…d conflicts, designed not so much to defend America as to bloat the balance sheets of US banks and corporations. Filled with astounding details of the benefits the few make from the sufferings of the many, 'War is A Racket' is as relevant today as when it was first written. Mark Twain's 'The War Prayer' was considered so explosive by his contemporaries that the short anti-war piece was authorized for publication only after his death. 'The Complaint of Peace' was written in 1521 by Desiderius Erasmus, one of the greatest scholars of his day, as a reaction to the warlike times in which he lived. After an interval of nearly 500 years, this thoughtful critique of war still rings true. Smedley D Butler was a US Marine Corps major-general and the most highly decorated Marine of his generation. Yet here he shows, with astounding facts and details, how wars are pre-planned conflicts, designed not to defend America but to bloat the balance sheets of US banks and corporations.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. An accomplished theosophist, Rudolf Steiner draws on the Akashic Records - described as a kind of cosmic library encoded on a mental plane - to tell us about events between the origin of the earth and the beginning of recorded history. Steiner briefly describes man's early milestones and th…en centres on the history and evolution of Earth's third and fourth 'Root-Races, ' the Lemurians and the Atlanteans, portraying their homelands as more than mere Platonic allegories. These "lost" continents actually existed, and their human inhabitants "developed the first concepts of "good" and "evil," manipulated the forces of nature, laid the groundwork of all human legal and ethical systems, and . brought humankind . to its highest artistic, intellectual, and spiritual attainments." The current period we are in, the Aryan, is that of the fifth Root-Race, with two more to follow. Only then will mankind's odyssey on Earth be completed. Cosmic Memory has powerful appeal, not only as an alternative history of humanity's early development, but as a spur for us to investigate the Akashic Records ourselves and so progress our God-given potential.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Charles Stansfeld Jones (1886-1950) was deeply immersed in occult matters from an early age. He joined Aleister's Crowley's Mystical Order A A (Astrum Argentum) at 23, and was acknowledged by the 'Great Beast' as his 'magical child'. Jones took the title Achad (Unity), and it was as Frater…Achad that he published most of his most famous occult studies, including the ground-breaking 'Q.B.L., The Bride's Reception'. This work is a masterpiece, an occult investigation into the profundities of Qabalah, its arcane symbolism, and links to other esoteric systems such as the Tarot. But it is more than this - it is a book that offers both novice and adept alike a remarkably clear and understandable exposition of this otherwise recondite, confusing, and seemingly contradictory worldview. As The Occult Review stated on the book's publication in 1922 "we can only advise those who are able to do so to study Frater Achad's essay. Their industry will be well repaid." This is a must-read for all students of the mystic lore." Charles Stansfeld Jones (1886-1950) was an occultist from his youth, joining Aleister Crowley's mystical order, Astrum Argentum, at 23 and acquiring the title of Achad (Unity). Here, Frater Achad investigates the Qabalah and its links to other esoteric systems such as the Tarot. It is a must-read for novice and adept alike of the mystic lore.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Despite its Harry Potter-like title, The Book of the Cave of Treasures is actually a rich seam of Jewish and Christian apocryphal lore, by means of which its 5th century author frames the story of Jesus in a truly cosmic context - as the inevitable conclusion of God's redemptive plan for hu…manity, set in train since the expulsion of Adam and Eve from Paradise.Along the way we are treated to a feast of extra-Biblical details: of the life of the Patriarchs; of the Wind-Flood that overthrew Ur of the Chaldees, Abraham's home; of the mysterious Priest-King Melchizedek; the origin of the Magi; the genealogy of Mary; and Adam's secret burial at the 'navel of the world', the very spot where Christ was later crucified.Translated from the Syriac by Sir E.A.Wallis Budge, former curator of Egyptian and Assyrian Antiquities at the British Museum, the book is extensively annotated, and contains 21 illustrations. Despite its Harry Potter-like title, 'The Cave of Treasures' is replete with lost Biblical lore, from stories of the Patriarchs and the life of Jesus, to the bizarre 'Wind-Flood' that overthrew Ur, and from the Bethlehem Star to the mysterious Priest-King Melchizedek and the secret tomb of Adam.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. The Comte de St Germain was an inscrutable figure who suddenly appeared in London in 1745. He was a man without a past, and openly admitted that his chosen name was fictitious. A wonderful musician and composer, witty and courteous, he dispensed diamonds, never ate in public, dropped hints…of his own physical immortality, and claimed to have no interest in sexually relations of any kind. Following his English appearance, the Comte disappeared for 12 years, surfacing for two years in pre-revolutionary France as the confidant of Louis XV, then vanishing once more for 11 years, only to reappear in Belgium, Russia and Germany. Following his disputed death in 1784, several notables claimed to have met him decades later, ever-wealthy and every youthful. Cooper-Oakley's investigation of the St Germain legend is an occult classic, in which she painstakingly draws together letters, diaries and private records of St Germain, to provide the most comprehensive picture we possess of the enigmatic Count. The Comte de St Germain was a man without a past - witty, courteous, immensely rich, the confidant of Kings, and for more than 100 years ever-wealthy and ever youthful.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Margaret Murray was an anthropologist who upset the comfortable consensus of her day with the idea that Western Europe did not convert 'en masse' to Christianity. Using contemporary accounts she was able to show that, while European rulers and nobles were successfully targeted by Christian…missionaries, the majority of the population held tenaciously to the Old Religion. These far older beliefs centred upon the worship of Cernunnos, the figure of a male, horned god. The result was centuries of conflict between Christianity and 'Paganism' in which the adherents of the Cross gradually gained the ascendant. And following the general principle that 'the God of the old religion becomes the Devil of the new', the Christian 'Evil One' was given the characteristics of the pagan deity - horns and all. Those who stubbornly held to the Old Ways were seen as devil-worshippers, witches, followers of the left-hand path who fully deserved the stake and death by purging fire.Margaret Murray gives a convincing account of this God of the witches, and shows how many famous characters in European history - among them William Rufus, Joan of Arc and Thomas a Beckett - must be counted as members of The Old Religion.A book for all those interested in the roots of Wicca and neo-paganism." Murray's thesis is that Western Europe did not convert 'en masse' to Christianity and that most people held tenaciously to the Old Religion, which centred on the worship of Cernunnos, the figure of a male, horned god. Conflict ensued in which the "devil-worshippers" were purged. A book for those interested in the roots of Wicca and neo-paganism.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Alice's Adventures in Wonderland is the world's first surrealist book, written in 1865, at a time when surrealism had not yet been invented. The author of this dream-like fantasy, full of puns and ironic comments on life, was Lewis Carroll (real name Charles Lutwidge Dodgson), who devised t…he story for three young girls during a boat trip on the river Isis in Oxford. Since its publication, Alice's Adventures in Wonderland has been a favourite with children of all ages - and adults, too, can find deeper layers of meaning beneath the madcap adventures of Alice and her outlandish army of comic characters. The story has been translated into 125 different languages and, after the Bible, Qur'an and Shakespeare, is the most frequently quoted book in the world. 'Alice's Adventures in Wonderland' is a dream-like fantasy story for children and adults alike, full of anthropomorphic creatures, puns and zany logic. The world famous surrealist tale has "lots of nonsense in it," the words that Alice Liddell used when she asked Dodgson, alias Carroll, to invent a story for her and her sisters.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Mutual Aid, Peter Kropotkin's most famous work, is both an Anarchist Classic and an important Biological treatise. It was written as a direct rebuttal of T.H. Huxley's 'Hobbesian' assertion that human society was a constant battle of "all against all", and that civilisation only existed by…imposition of order from above (an argument that was used by the ruling class to validate unjust societal norms).Kropotkin does not deny the existence of competition between individuals and groups, but amasses an overwhelming body of evidence that reveals mutual aid as an important factor in evolution. Individuals of sociable species prosper, develop and reproduce successfully because of their cooperation. And Humanity is no exception - in a comprehensive review of human society, both historical and contemporary, Kropotkin shows the vital importance of mutual support in the evolution of everything from tribal life to the development of cities, science and art. Anthropologist Ashley Montagu considered "no book in the whole realm of evolutionary theories more readable or more important." This Anarchist Classic was written to rebut T.H. Huxley's assertion that human society was a constant battle of "All against All". Kropotkin accepts the existence of competition, but produces overwhelming evidence that mutual aid tempers this tendency. Individuals of sociable species (humans included) prosper because of their cooperation. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Born in 1862, Nitobe Inazo was a Japanese polymath (holding five doctorates) and Christian convert who travelled widely in both Europe and America. In 1900, he published his seminal work Bushido, the soul of Japan, an attempt to explain his country to the western mind via the tenets of Japa…n's warrior caste, the samurai.Nitobe places Bushido firmly in the western concept of Knighthood, using an eclectic sample of western philosophy and history to draw out similarities in terms of courage, honour, endurance and loyalty. At the same time he calls upon the eastern philosophies to explain the apparently bewildering differences that exist between the occidental and oriental mind-set: why, for example, westerners bestow expensive gifts to demonstrate how much they value a friendship, and the Japanese offer small presents for exactly the same reason.Engaging and beautifully written, Bushido has remained a best-seller for over one hundred years, and continues to offer readers one of the most insightful analyses of the Japanese martial way, and its affects on the conduct and character of the people of Nippon.Enhanced with 14 full-page, colour block prints and photographs from the 1800s, this is a 'must-read' for all those interested in the martial arts and Japanese culture. 'Bushido' is Nitobe Inazo's attempt to explain Japan to the western mind via the tenets of its samurai warriors. The book has remained a best-seller since publication in 1900.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Margaret Murray's enthralling study of witch beliefs and customs has become a timeless anthropological classic. Rejecting the consensus view that female witches were simply 'hysterical' or subject to 'suggestion', she uses sound scholarship and comprehensive research to reveal that 'Devil-w…orship' was in fact a bona fide pre-Christian religion, that was forced 'underground' owing to ceaseless persecution by the Church authorities. All aspects of this 'Old Religion' are covered, from admission ceremonies and the 'witch-mark', through divining, fertility rites and the Sabbat, to spells and sacrifices - including those of children and even of 'the god' himself! According to the The English Historical Review, the book is "so comprehensive in scope, and so rich and varied in its treatment of the witch-cult .it is not likely to be superseded." This the full, original version of Murray's masterpiece, complete with Notes, Bibliography and five Appendices, including a chemical analysis of 'flying ointments'. The timeless classic on Witchcraft, revealing 'devil-worship' as a bona fide pre-Christian religion, forced 'underground' by persecution. Murray covers all aspects of this 'Old Religion': admission, divining, the 'witch-mark', fertility rites, spells sacrifices and the Sabbat. Complete with Notes, Bibliography and five Appendices.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Chuang Tzu (pinyin: Zhuangzi) is the name given to an enigmatic Daoist sage who was born around 369 BC at Meng (now in Henan Province), where he worked as a minor official in the city of Qiyuan. The eponymous Chuang Tzu is considered one of the key foundational works of Daoism, exceeding ev…en the renowned Dao De Jing of the equally elusive Laozi. Dao translates as 'The Way', both the individual human life-path, and the infinitely complex unfolding of the Universe, whose mechanism and purpose are beyond human logic. Reasoning alone is insufficient and must be leavened with the development of intuition. One must learn to deal calmly with the stormy seas of life, as experience shows that fighting against the Dao only makes matters worse. Daoism enjoins us to non-contention, non-intention, simplicity, humility and wisdom as the path to perfect equanimity amidst the turmoil of existence. Chang Tzu pursues this teaching via humour and historic parable; such tales as the master dreaming he was a butterfly, then awakening and being unsure if he is indeed himself, or a butterfly dreaming he is Chuang Tzu, bring into focus the unreliability of the senses and our own fragile identity. Composed of 33 chapters, the Chuang Tzu is divided into seven 'Inner' chapters (written by the sage himself), and fifteen 'Outer' chapters which - along with a 'Miscellany' - are mainly the work of his later adherents. Here is wisdom: a deeply esoteric book of many levels, that will repay reading on a regular basis. The Chuang Tzu is one of the key foundational works of Chinese Daoism, preaching non-contention, non-intention, simplicity and humility as the path to perfect equanimity amidst life's turmoil. The master Chang Tzu pursues this teaching via humour and historic parable: a deep book of many levels, that will repay reading on a regular basis.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. This occult classic was written in 1888 by an 18 year old American boy, Frederick S Oliver. The author claimed that he was used as a channel by 'Phylos', an advanced being who had once lived in the fabled city of Atlantis. The advanced philosophy found in this book tells a remarkable, perso…nal tale of achievement and temptation, of other planes of existence, reincarnation and the inexorable unfolding of Karma. Atlantean society is also described in detail, with its concept of the One Substance underlying all phenomena, and its advanced science and technology that include devices mirroring many of today's modern instruments. If the book is fiction, these accounts make Frederick Oliver's book a profound, almost inexplicable, achievement for one so young. If it is indeed a channeled message from a spiritually advanced being, 'A Dweller on Two Planets' provides copious esoteric information indispensable to all students of the occult. At 18 years old, Frederick Oliver channeled 'Phylos', whose remarkable story life tells of reincarnation, Atlantis, and of other planes of existence. If fiction, it is an almost inexplicable achievement for one so young. If truly a message from Beyond, the book provides esoteric copious information indispensable to all students of the occult.
