After a failed attempt to read the Christmas story, Jamies father gives her a strange gift- a wooden statue of an old, fat, balding angel with tattered wings. Because of a wish that Jamie makes earlier in the evening, the statue comes to life at her bedside, and the irascible old angel takes her on a magical journey back in time to the first Christmas night in Bethlehem. Gabe (Archangel, Retired) is a cigar smoking, seat-of-the-pants kind of angel who tries very hard not to swear, and who says to Jamie, Dont worry, Ive never lost anyone on these tripsnot yet, anyway. And of course, thats just what happens During her nights adventure, Jamie manages to meet two of the wise-men, a couple of shepherd boys, and eventually a shivering, young new mother, where Jamies spontaneous act of kindness changes Christmas forever.

Download or read book The Magus of Java written by Kosta Danaos and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2000-06-01 with total page 211 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The story of John Chang, the first man to be documented performing pyrokinesis, telekinesis, levitation, telepathy, and other paranormal abilities. • The author, a mechanical engineer, provides scientific explanations of how these powers work. • For the first time, the discipline of Mo-Pai is introduced to the West. In 1988 the documentary Ring of Fire was released to great acclaim. The most startling sequence in the film is that of a Chinese-Javanese acupuncturist who demonstrates his full mastery of the phenomenon of chi, or bio-energy, by generating an electrical current within his body, which he uses first to heal the filmmaker of an eye infection and then to set a newspaper on fire with his hand. Ring of Fire caused thousands to seek out this individual, John Chang, in pursuit of instruction. Of the many Westerners who have approached him, John Chang has accepted five as apprentices. Kosta Danaos is the second of those five. In his years of study with John Chang, Danaos has witnessed and experienced pyrokinesis, telekinesis, levitation, telepathy, and much more exotic phenomena. He has spoken with spirits and learned the secrets of reincarnation. Most important, he has learned John Chang's story. John Chang is the direct heir to the lineage of the sixth-century b.c. sage Mo-Tzu, who was Confucius's greatest rival. His discipline, called the Mo-Pai, is little-known in the West and has never before been the subject of a book. Now, John Chang has decided to bridge the gap between East and West by allowing a book to be published revealing the story of his life, his teachings, and his powers. It will surely expedite what may well become the greatest revolution of the twenty-first century--the verification and study of bio-energy.
Download or read book The Magus Kundalini and the Golden Dawn Standard Edition A Complete System of Magick that Bridges Eastern Spirituality and Th written by Neven Paar and published by Winged Shoes Publishing. This book was released on 2019-12-19 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: *Please note that the Standard Edition is in black and white, and it includes a password to access the coloured digital images online. The Deluxe Colour Edition is in full colour, and so is the Ebook. The Magus: Kundalini and the Golden Dawn is the culmination of my Spiritual journey through the Western Mystery Tradition after experiencing a full and sustained Kundalini awakening. Once I joined a secret and esoteric school called the Golden Dawn, I was introduced to Ceremonial Magick-a Spiritual Alchemy practice geared towards Chakra tuning and cleansing-whose ultimate purpose is personal transformation and Enlightenment. I have found that this sacred art of energy invocation not only alleviated the intense fear and anxiety I was left with after awakening Kundalini, but it furthered my Spiritual progression tenfold in a short period. As such, I dedicated myself to mastering the entire Golden Dawn system. After leading a Golden Dawn group in Toronto, Ontario, I left the organised system but continued to teach Ceremonial Magick to other Light Seekers. I realised that the world was missing a unified and comprehensive system of Magick that combines Eastern Spirituality and the Western Mysteries, whose presentation is clear and concise, without the usual cryptic occult connotations. What emerged is The Magus-a Universal science of energy that we all partake of as human beings. You don't need to be a part of a Magickal Order to get the full benefit of being initiated into the energies of our Solar System. Everything that can be gained from Ceremonial Magick practice can be done from the comfort of your home. If you dedicate ten minutes a day to this practice, you can advance substantially in your Spiritual evolution. Ceremonial Magick exercises in The Magus are presented as part of Spiritual Alchemy programs whose aim is to help you connect with your Higher Self and tap into your highest potential as a Spiritual human being. These programs go hand-in-hand with knowledge lectures on the Qabalah, the Five Elements, the Seven Chakras, Astrology, the Tarot, Divination, meditation, Hermetic Philosophy and Alchemy, the Christian and Egyptian Mysteries, Enochian Magic, and more. The Magus also contains a wealth of knowledge concerning the Kundalini from both Eastern and Western perspectives. As your connection with your Creator strengthens through the work in The Magus, your personal power will increase, enabling you to manifest the life you always wanted. By becoming the best version of yourself, you can be the hero of your own story and experience the joy and excitement of being alive. The end-game of The Magus is the completion of the Great Work and the expansion and unification of the individual consciousness with Cosmic Consciousness.

Their journey toward the treasure is both dangerous and difficult, lightened only imperceptibly by the tales they tell of the old gods and goddesses.

In 1927 Julius Evola and other leading Italian intellectuals formed the mysterious UR group. Their goal: to bring their individual egos into a state of superhuman power and awareness in which they could act "magically" on the world. Their methods: the practice of ancient Tantric and Buddhist rituals and the study of rare Hermetic texts. So successful were they that rumors spread throughout Italy of the group's power, and Mussolini himself became quite fearful of them. Now for the first time in English Introduction to Magic collects the rites, practices, and knowledge of the UR group for the use of aspiring mages. Included in Introduction to Magic are instructions for creating an etheric double, speaking words of power, using fragrances, interacting with entities, and creating a "magical chain." Among the arcane texts translated are the Tibetan teachings of the Thunderbolt Diamond Path, the Mithraic mystery cult's "Grand Papyrus of Paris," and the Greco-Egyptian magical text De Mysteriis. Anyone who has exhausted the possibilities of the mundane world and is ready to take the steps necessary to purify the soul in the light of knowledge and the fire of dedication will find a number of expert mentors here.
