Years ago I remember reading Rodney Collin say in Theory of Celestial Influence that the first time you hear about self-remembering, or the first time you read those words, in that very moment you self-remember. And I remember at the time I was sitting in front of a large plate glass window, it was dark on the other side of the window, and I read that line and looked up. And I saw myself looking at a reflection of myself, looking back at me. It was really powerful. It was an addition to being an observer. And the reflection in the window kind of triggered an intuition - something that was not fully formed, that was contributing to the power of that moment. But it was an immediate verification of the truth of what Collin had said, that those words would trigger the state. I didn't understand this at the time, but later I realized it also verified Rodney Collin's idea of self-remembering....

The human species is threatening itself and Earth, its home, with destruction. With our sheer numbers, our garbage and our toxic way of living, and our weaponry and political instability, we have put our own survival in doubt. Our civilization is failing under the stresses we ourselves have brought to bear. It seems some kind of retrenchment must occur, some culling of our population, some retreat to a less exploitative relation with what sustains us. Whether that step back will come in climactic violence, as in nuclear war, or in the relentless grinding of environmental degradation, we cannot say.Now is the time to plant a new civilization, one oriented not merely to survival but to a different human purpose. The acts of human beings derive from their level of consciousness. When our behavior is reflexive and unpiloted, we are functioning at a low level of conscious awareness. When our behavior is crude, selfish, merciless or unmindful, we have allowed the lower elements of our nature to usurp our better consciousness. The first principle of a new civilization must be that that which makes us more conscious is good and that which makes us less conscious is destructive.The definitive element of our best consciousness is a high state of Presence. Presence is not in time; it is a fundamentally different phenomenon from the past and future our minds create. It is not reason or belief. It is the awareness of pure being and thus a portal out of time and mortality. To act from the Present fosters love; only in the Present is the unity of conscious awareness revealed.We must value and build on that which engenders and sustains our highest consciousness. This collection of poems is dedicated to a new civilization of Presence.

With stunningly original illustrations by Kevin Watts, The Awakening of Man Hamlet is psychological commentary at its finest. Reminding us at the very beginning that Hamlet's main message is about awakening, what it is and, most importantly, what it is not: the author John Stubbs points out that you cannot awaken, for example, just by behaving differently from now on, that is by "adding virtue" to your resume. Why? The author explains: "Because your old self will absorb the new and make it its own, thus corrupting it... Consequently, you have to remove the old stock completely - your entire old self has to go." Letting this first message resonate, the author then points out the second, equally disquieting message: "In order to completely remove the old self you must even remove the part which is doing the removing." That is why by the end of Hamlet, with the exception of Horatio cast in the role of being the messenger, every major character is dead. Nothing of the old self remains -- not even its highest and most noble part, Hamlet. Be or Not Be.

During the reigns of Ramses II and his immediate successors, from about 1300 BC to 1150 BC, a social class of well-educated royal scribes and temple craftsmen emerged in Ancient Egypt rivaling the traditional priesthood in cultural influence, if not power. In their hands a new genre of literature appeared: Secular love poetry depicting in hieratic script real flesh-and-blood men and women, expressing real emotions and speaking to one another with real human feelings for the first time. Unfortunately, this state of affairs was to last only as long as the Spring Revolutions of Ramses II and his immediate successors. Roughly 100 years.The translations edited and presented in this fourth edition include both the original secular poems and additional religious love poetry nearly 4,500 years old. This addition, pushing the clock back to 2360 BC for the earliest poems, registers a seismic shift in the editors' understanding of the Egyptian vision of love. We now see that drawing a sharp dividing line between secular and religious love poetry is pointless, Love poetry is love poetry.

A compilation of letters, articles and essays that first appeared in various publications, this book first appeared in 2007. Since then it has become evident that a second edition is necessary both because of changes in the object of discussion -- practical application of the Fourth Way system of Gurdjieff and Ouspensky greatly enriched by the teachings of Robert Burton -- and because of the continued maturation of the author Rolando Altamirano. In the Introduction Rolando explains: "A School of Fourth Way is a living organism, and as such it is constantly growing, developing and changing; and most of all, it moves at an increasing speed." This book mirrors that movement.

"Philadelphia A Story Sequence in Verse" is a window on the work of esoteric schools. It portrays a small, representative group of loving friends who at first naively and later decisively with the potent ancient knowledge in which they have been instructed engage in storytelling's highest purpose: to remind and remind and remind us again to remember and hold ourselves aware of what our busy minds are always forgetting - the present, where the divine resides. John Craig, the author, is a poet and teacher who with his wife Victoria, a native of Phila-delphia, lives in the Sierra foothills of northern California. They have two grown sons.

Out of Africa The Ancient Egyptian Connection is a book about two journeys: the soul's journey from spiritual sleep to awakening and its journey within this awakening. The first of these has been well-documented, the latter equally significant, is rarely mentioned -- perhaps because most of us have little or no experience with it. It eludes ordinary comprehension. In this two-volume work, Dr. Moore (PhD, Princeton 1978) attempts to reconstruct the nature of those journeys from the fragmentary evidence left behind in two sources -- the so-called Book of the Amduat inside the tombs of Thutmosis III and Ramses VI and the less well-known Book of the Two Ways duplicated inside the lids of thousands of coffins of Ancient Egyptian nobles. Standing on the shoulders of two giants of Egyptology -- Alexandre Piankoff and Richard Faulkner-- Dr. Moore takes the unprecendented and daring step of mapping onto the sacred texts themselves the schema of the cartoon-like stick figures depicted on the tomb walls. Enigmatic until now, the text and images suddenly become transparent, voices can be heard. And then as if this were not radical surgery enough, the author identifies and decodes the voices. Nothing so controversial in its implications has been done before.
