Cryptology: Theosophy. JOHNSON Dr. Aheliobas A.
Two Annotated Volumes Relating to Theosophy and Esoteric Cryptography
np Elsinore CA nd ca. 1940s. Very good. Two volumes. The first mounted awkwardly into a zippered limp leather case and titled "Aheliobas" by hand to front cover. 6" x 4.5" approx. The second a small notebook leather over boards with "Aheliobas" scratched into leather at rear cover. Both volumes worn and a little ad hoc but generally very good overall. <br/><br/>An unusual and intriguing pair of books owned by Dr. Aheliobas A. Johnson 1886-1955. Johnson whose business card laid into one volume describes him as a "Metaphysician Healer Teacher and Spiritual Counselor" was a resident of Lake Elsinore and Pasadena CA and devotee of the "I Am" movement founded by Theosophist Joseph Sieber Benner. Also known as the "Knowledge and Teachings of the Impersonal Life" "I Am" was an eccentric branch of theosophy that taught Christ proclaiming "I Am" indicated "the true spirit that resides in every human being." <br /> <br />The first book included is a copy of "I Am"'s key text Benner's THE IMPERSONAL LIFE 14th edition 1944 heavily annotated by Johnson. Underlining marginalia and other annotations abound with endpapers also filled "This is my life's philosophy and principle as follower: 'I will see beauty and goodness in all things. From all that is unlovely shall my vision be immune.'". These annotations are then further complimented by a series of striking and almost hieroglyphic cryptograms whose key is contained in the accompanying small notebook. This second leather-bound volume is divided into alphabetical tabs and comprises a directory or legend to these symbols which range from the esoteric and alchemical to the more ordinary and practical. Several additional cryptograms are contained in this second volume as well. <br /> <br />Taken together a strange but revealing look into California's experimentation with alternative movements and the formation or cult and counter-cult communities as well as peculiar work of outsider cryptography. Benner's work would go on to be taken up by the likes Guy Ballard and even Elvis Presley — who during the last 13 years of his life gave out hundreds of copies of THE IMPERSONAL LIFE and allegedly had a copy with him the night he died. hardcover books

Up from Eden was his fourth publication and represents an exposition of the development of human consciousness using Genesis as a basis. When Eve decided to take the forbidden fruit/apple in the Garden of Edenshe consciously made a choice. In this sense what happened in Eden was an "upward" event in Wilber's telling not a Fall. The book does not advocate any religion but strives to record how human consciousness developed using the Fall as its central metaphor. Doubleday: Anchor Press, hardcover

NOT a Remainder Book-Club or Ex-Library. 12mo. 7.05 x 4.25 x 0.5 inches. x 158 pages. Edited by Martin L. Wolf. Translated from the Arabic by Anthony Rizcallah Ferris. Language: Weight: 4 ounces. This translation was first published in 1947. Mass Market Paperback. Khalil Gibran 1883 � 1931 was a Lebanese artist poet and writer. Born in the town of Bsharri in the north of modern-day Lebanon then part of Mount Lebanon Mutasarrifate Ottoman Empire as a young man he immigrated with his family to the United States where he studied art and began his literary career writing in both English and Arabic. In the Arab world Gibran is regarded as a literary and political rebel. His romantic style was at the heart of a renaissance in modern Arabic literature especially prose poetry breaking away from the classical school. In Lebanon he is still celebrated as a literary hero. He is chiefly known in the English-speaking world for his 1923 book The Prophet an early example of inspirational fiction including a series of philosophical essays written in poetic English prose. The book sold well gaining popularity in the 1930s and again especially in the 1960s. Gibran is the third best-selling poet of all time behind Shakespeare and Laozi. Gibran was born into a Maronite Christian family and raised in Maronite schools. He was influenced not only by his own religion but also by Islam and especially by the mysticism of the Sufis. His knowledge of Lebanon's bloody history with its destructive factional struggles strengthened his belief in the fundamental unity of religions which his parents exemplified by welcoming people of various religions in their home. The poetry of Gibran often uses formal language and spiritual terms; as one of his poems reveals: "But let there be spaces in your togetherness and let the winds of the heavens dance between you. Love one another but make not a bond of love: let it rather be a moving sea between the shores of your souls." Many of Gibran's writings deal with Christianity especially on the topic of spiritual love. But his mysticism is a convergence of several different influences: Christianity Islam Sufism Judaism and theosophy. He wrote: "You are my brother and I love you. I love you when you prostrate yourself in your mosque and kneel in your church and pray in your synagogue. You and I are sons of one faith�the Spirit." I love this collection. It's deeply moving and inspiring. Gibran's essays are the kind that will resonate with you long after you've closed the book. New American Library: Signet , paperback

Unified Reality Theory: The Evolution of Existence into Experience.
Milwaukee WI Destiny Toad Press 2002. Paperback First Edition 2002; First Printing so stated. First Edition 2002; First Printing so stated. Fine in Wraps: binding square and secure; text clean. Virtually 'As New'. NOT a Remainder Book-Club or Ex-Library. 8vo. xiii 417 pages. Academic Press Paperback. The author has the natural skill to express himself by way of a comprehensive communicative language and exceptional ability to present the complex concepts in a simple way. And most importantly the material in the book charts a very coherent model of reality with clearly stated assumptions and logically drawn conclusions. The author does not play with words and the book is not a typical contemporary philosophical exercise in linguistics. If the reader is interested in the models of reality developed by the Eastern philosophy and Western science - then this book would deliver a surprising bonus - it is neither the rewrite nor the reference to all that has been written so far. The model presented in the book is absolutely original and not based on any obvious sources other than author's own powerful thinking process validated by personal experience. The spotting of the difference between the awareness and consciousness the reflection on the reality as the existence's experience of itself are the brightest and most interesting threads of the book. All of these subjects are communicated with the simplicity of the sage. And illustrated with appealing graphics. The reader will appreciate that the author does not forget that he is presenting the model - usually the writers dealing with the Big Questions related to the nature of reality turn into the patronizing mode of the all and the only wise. The author of this material is gloriously free from the self-exaltation and pompousness. The on-line book was composed of two parts. The second one focused on the model of reality as the existence's experience of itself is a must read for everybody eager to extend his conceptual horizon and deepen the understanding of his consciousness.

Twelve-Tribe Nations and the Science of Enchanting the Landscape.
Grand Rapids MI Phanes Press 1991. Paperback First Edition USA; unstated. Very Near Fine in Wraps: shows only the most minute indications of use: just a hint of wear to extremities; mildest rubbing. The binding remains square and secure; text clean. Very close to 'As New'. NOT a Remainder Book-Club or Ex-Library. 8vo. 192pp. Illustrated with graphs charts maps designs and photographs in black & white. First Edition USA; unstated. Appears to have been published simultaneously in Great Britain by Thames & Hudson. Trade Paperback. The twelve tribes of Israel are the most famous example of a phenomenon found throughout the world. Many traditions describe a former ideal social order in which nations were divided into twelve tribes each corresponding to one of the twelve signs of the zodiac. Examples of such societies are to be found from Iceland to Madascar from Europe through the ancient East to America. This book describes some of these civilizations and the role that this configuration was believed to play in harmonizing human activity with the forces of the cosmos. This book is a real gem. Lucidly written it provides excellent and comprehensive evidence for the existence of an ancient global culture that was based on the number twelve. This was a harmoniously structured society that for some reason naturally resonated with its inhabitants. Modern civilization having lost forgotten or destroyed this knowledge is constantly mired in chaos and turmoil. Phanes Press, paperback

Overall Fine Like New. Video: VHS. The wake-up call to which Eckhart Tolle points on the first day of this seven-day retreat is the awakening out of the dream of thought. While speaking of the entrapping limitations of the false self he also shows the way to accessing an underlying joyful dimension of alert still presence a presence beyond belief. In the two talks presented here Eckhart explores with uncomplicated clarity the essence of all spiritual teachings. Eckhart Tolle born Ulrich Leonard Tolle on February 16 1948 is a German-born resident of Canada best known as the author of The Power of Now and A New Earth. In 2011 he was listed by the Watkins Review as the most spiritually influential person in the world. In 2008 a New York Times writer called Tolle "the most popular spiritual author in the United States." Tolle has said that he was depressed for much of his life until he underwent at age 29 an "inner transformation". He then spent several years wandering and unemployed "in a state of deep bliss" before becoming a spiritual teacher. Later he moved to North America where he began writing his first book The Power of Now which was published in 1997 and reached the New York Times Best Seller lists in 2000. Tolle settled in Vancouver Canada where he has lived for more than a decade. The Power of Now and A New Earth sold an estimated three million and five million copies respectively in North America by 2009. In 2008 approximately 35 million people participated in a series of 10 live webinars with Tolle and television talk show host Oprah Winfrey. Tolle is not identified with any particular religion but he has been influenced by a wide range of spiritual works. Eckhart Teachings, unknown
