Hi chg1:
I like your term 'transformative'.

I really appreciate James Churchward's work, we have a number of books of his,
that I have yet to read.

Secrets of the Widow's Son is something to add to my wishlist.
I've enjoyed the books by Knight and Lomas, and other masonic books.
My grandfather was and my father is a mason, head of his lodge for some years.
He gets quite distressed that these things are in print.
My grandmother, same side, was a Rosocrucian, as was one of her daughters.
Born of a Flame is a book for the wishlist.
Have you ever read Etidorhpa, the account given by John Uri Lloyd?
Zee, my husband, and I, and his two daughters, stayed in Kentucky, back in the '90's,
for three months, and spent a little time trying to find the places he references.
(No success, but we did explore a lot of beautiful caves,
and learned how an earthquake had destroyed many of the caves and entranceways.)

Interesting that you have begun the Gateway Program again.
We have the 36 (6X6) audio-cassette tape version.
Hopefully the program was somewhat improved in your disk version.
I tried the program many times.
At one point, some being jumped on my back, that was disturbing.
(Afterwards, I read about this happening to Monroe himself,
in an out-of-body experience, in his first book!)
I ended up on the interstate, but I didn't like being there.
I decided I wanted other less travelled paths, e.g. "the strait and narrow".
So, that was that.
I wouldn't say it was a waste of time for me, but it helped me
to determine where I didn't want to go.
Zee actually wrote what he called "A New Affirmation",
in response to the Affirmation that Monroe provides.
Something which I find much more effective.

Zee also wrote a response to Michael Talbot's Holographic Universe.
Zee titled the manuscript: The Holodynamic Universe
(with numerous sub-titles).
I think the dynamics in the title affects one's way of thinking
and visualizing and that, to me, is liberating.

Bye, take care,
Jennifer (ecohealth2003)

Well, I wish you luck with Gateway.

Well, I read your homepage, liked your orientation,
saw we shared some books, and even some recordings,
including Monroe's Gateway Program.
Yep, you're right on one thing, I included reference to that forum, and that was incorrect.
I found you through reading someone else's homepage (knowthyself)
and you shared some of the books he had read.
With what you had read, I thought you might be interested in my husband's works.
You guessed wrong: Zee's website is completely free.
I have no interest in selling anything.
Huna is one subject area and there are other authors besides Long.
I don't know what LT TOS is. Thanks for the reference.
Thanks for being pleasant.
Jennifer

Hello chg1:

My husband, Zeera (Zee) Charnoe, and I joined librarything a few days ago.
I've been reading the posts you made at the Humanities group topics.

There are so many books I want to read, after looking at people's libraries!

I am helped by everything Zee has ever written or spoken.
His source of inspiration offers purpose and hope for the soul.
I have had the pleasure of being his student, partner and assistant for 21+ years.
Zee has taught and studied gnosis, gnostic writings, Huna, Zen, Zen meditation, Tibetan Buddhism, hypnosis,
and a wide range of subjects and disciplines.
He has also provided information / seminars on the Tarot, Kabbalah.
One audio-recorded seminar was titled Evolutions of Mind/Body/Spirit.

Zee was a physics professor of optics and acoustics, in Denmark.
He has been the CEO of numerous organizations dedicated
to environmental products and services (Life Essential Systems).

There are tens of thousands of pages
of short writings and short books at his website:
http://ecophysics.org

There are four actual books there,
with numerous more writings and books in process:

1. What Life Is and What Life Is For

2. Anaclysm

3. The Soul of a Poet-Philosopher
(poetry and short stories)

4. Language, Literacy and Intelligence:
Made For Each Other ! ? (1986 thesis) (draft)

There are also hundreds of audio recordings
of lectures, meditations and hypnosis scripts,
that are available on DVD's,
and are played (and archived) at a webcast:
ANACLYSM radio program
www.blogtalkradio.com

We live a very quiet, secluded life,
surrounded by plants and books.
We very much like to exchange
with others of like mind,
those who seek to connect to a greater scheme.

Thank you kindly for your attention.

I've been adding books by ASIN instead of searching by title in the latest batches. I've found that LT sometimes shows them as separate works. These can be linked by using the "combine wokrs" feature on the edit book page, but I am not completely familiar with the process.

Thanks for your comment - we share quite a few books! Interesting too, when I lived in London, I was only a few blocks from Gareth Knight's headquarters! I look forward to taking a look at your other books!
Thanks!

Just got bored of the name I guess. I've been using it all over the net for a year or two now.

When I saw I had reached 777 I half thought of stopping there out of respect for Crowley.

Hi
I asked to be a friend because we share similar interests (45 books overlap in the occult/esoteric area of our libraries).

Cheers

Not sure what you were responding too, but that discrepancy has always confused me. We know Jesus and the disciples spoke Aramaic, it was the common language of the people, so why do we base the english New Testament on Greek and Latin manuscripts? I know we've found Aramaic ones, I've seen scholarly translations of the NT and noncanonical material in Aramaic.

None of my personal theology is actually based on Blavatsky or Besant. My main influences are Alice A. Bailey, and Yogi Ramacharaka, although many other authors influence my beliefs as well.

Hi, just responding to your comment. I added you as a friend because using the "members with your books" widget on the sidebar we have 74 in common, and I thought that was a fair number and showed common interest. thanks for the add.

I too know what you mean by getting it,it sometimes seems like a labyrinth that appears to be leading somewhere but ... At least with my job I get to work with ancient sites but familiarity can tarnish the gilt on these things. Making the pilgrimage puts you ionto the right frame of mind more. The tree is not a Rowan, but a hawthorn, from the top of Dragon Hill, by the white Horse. It just struck me when I was up there as saying somthing a bout the nature of working with magic.

It is quite a while since I read the books (I haven't had the same impulse to read magical books or work magically since my tutor died) but I have always favoured Gareth Knight in terms of comprehensiveness. Fortune is of course similar, being the foundation on which the other two have probably built. Gray on the other hand I feel is a better writer. It is difficult to put in words,he has none of the more romantic bent of Fortune as a writer. I particularily remember his discourse on the concept of nothing, or nothingness. It feels, mmm, more objective somehow, more as if you are being lead on a journey through philosophical concepts that appear quite dry at first, but you are being taken along the paths in an almost abstract, and pure way. Which ultimatley becomes more directly personal, and as a result the experience can be more powerful. His personality definitely shines through. I imagine him to have been quite a curmudgeonly chap, one that didn't suffer fools gladly, quite Donnish. Whereas in Crowley this tendency could be spiteful to students that he considered beneath him, in Gray he just expects you to keep up and if you don't well too bad, you wont get it.

To sum up, Gray is well worth reading because he is so different from the other two. Forgive m,e I haven't quoted too many examples here, as I said it is a long time..

The talking tree was part of my tutor's library, so I cannot claim to have sniffed this one out from a small bookshop on the other side of nowehere. Gray was one of his mentors and therefore he had quite alot of Gray's books, which were not that easy to get hold of otherwise. I am still in the process of uploading my esoteric book library having only joined recently, so there will be more to come.

Sorry I didn't reply sooner.

I haven't read that book in at least 15 years, so my recollection of it is so-so. I remember finding it interesting, but don't recall anything overly compelling about it.

Having read on Wicca/Witchcraft, I'm always interested in the various takes on the Goddess, but I've never been fond of the elevated position given to Goddess over God, personally feeling more of a balance is required, as is stated in the Golden Dawn book Z-1: THE ENTERER OF THE THRESHOLD -

Of the Temple in reference to the Sephiroth. The Temple, as arranged in the Neophyte Grade of the Order of the Golden Dawn in the Outer, is placed looking towards the YH of YHVH in Malkuth in Assiah. That is, as Y and H answer unto the Sephiroth Chokmah and Binah in the Tree, (and unto Abba and Aima, through whose knowledge alone that of Kether may be obtained.)

where Abba is, of course, Father and Aima, Mother.

I've always been disappointed, also, that many turn to Wicca to find their "God and Goddess," when the parallel symbolism has been available in the Golden Dawn system all along.

But, you've made me curious, so I promise I'll dig it out over the weekend end refresh my memory.

In LVX,
BD
