Book excerpt: Lamp of the Goddess looks at reincarnation from the viewpoint of a present-day priestess who honors the Deep Feminine, or the Goddess, as Mother of Souls, as well as the Earth Mother of physical existence. Rae Beth has gone within herself for this book of recollections, inner guidance, and ancient teachings, explaining individual reincarnation as a microcosm of Earth's great cycles of existence. Along with instructions for recalling past lives and developing psychic skills, she gives descriptions of the Otherworld as the land of the Dark Goddess--not a fearful place, but a joyful spirit land where healing flows.
Download or read book Aladdin s Lamp written by John Freely and published by Vintage. This book was released on 2010-03-09 with total page 322 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Aladdin’s Lamp is the fascinating story of how ancient Greek philosophy and science began in the sixth century B.C. and, during the next millennium, spread across the Greco-Roman world, producing the remarkable discoveries and theories of Thales, Pythagoras, Hippocrates, Plato, Aristotle, Euclid, Archimedes, Galen, Ptolemy, and many others. John Freely explains how, as the Dark Ages shrouded Europe, scholars in medieval Baghdad translated the works of these Greek thinkers into Arabic, spreading their ideas throughout the Islamic world from Central Asia to Spain, with many Muslim scientists, most notably Avicenna, Alhazen, and Averroës, adding their own interpretations to the philosophy and science they had inherited. Freely goes on to show how, beginning in the twelfth century, these texts by Islamic scholars were then translated from Arabic into Latin, sparking the emergence of modern science at the dawn of the Renaissance, which climaxed in the Scientific Revolution of the seventeenth century.
