Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Building on the historical perspective that characterized the previous book in the trilogy, Atlantis Rising, this final volume asks readers to remember that when they decided “to come to this earth adventure... blowing down the Establishment Walls would be a Herculean task.” But, she adds, “Fall they would indeed.” Hastening this necessary next step in evolution to higher being, says author Patricia Cori, requires understanding the forces at work and how to challenge and conquer them. No More Secrets, No More Lies unmasks the lies that have been employed to disempower the human race, while illuminating the tools necessary for those who intend to ascend with a revitalized Planet Earth. Intended as a guide for overcoming the designs of the dark warriors, and a blueprint for achieving the absolute freedom that is our true birthright as the super race of the realm, this provocative book brilliantly integrates into a larger schema such issues as media manipulation, racism, dark forces, crop circles, our food and water, and imminent extraterrestrial contacts, with the cosmic unfolding of human awareness and the evolutionary activation of our complex DNA codes—our blueprint to immortality.

Download or read book Revelations written by Elaine Pagels and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2012-03-06 with total page 278 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A startling exploration of the history of the most controversial book of the Bible, by the bestselling author of Beyond Belief. Through the bestselling books of Elaine Pagels, thousands of readers have come to know and treasure the suppressed biblical texts known as the Gnostic Gospels. As one of the world's foremost religion scholars, she has been a pioneer in interpreting these books and illuminating their place in the early history of Christianity. Her new book, however, tackles a text that is firmly, dramatically within the New Testament canon: The Book of Revelation, the surreal apocalyptic vision of the end of the world . . . or is it? In this startling and timely book, Pagels returns The Book of Revelation to its historical origin, written as its author John of Patmos took aim at the Roman Empire after what is now known as "the Jewish War," in 66 CE. Militant Jews in Jerusalem, fired with religious fervor, waged an all-out war against Rome's occupation of Judea and their defeat resulted in the desecration of Jerusalem and its Great Temple. Pagels persuasively interprets Revelation as a scathing attack on the decadence of Rome. Soon after, however, a new sect known as "Christians" seized on John's text as a weapon against heresy and infidels of all kinds-Jews, even Christians who dissented from their increasingly rigid doctrines and hierarchies. In a time when global religious violence surges, Revelations explores how often those in power throughout history have sought to force "God's enemies" to submit or be killed. It is sure to appeal to Pagels's committed readers and bring her a whole new audience who want to understand the roots of dissent, violence, and division in the world's religions, and to appreciate the lasting appeal of this extraordinary text.

Download or read book The Gnostic Gospels written by Elaine Pagels and published by Random House. This book was released on 2004-06-29 with total page 281 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Selected by the Modern Library as one of the 100 best nonfiction books of all time The Gnostic Gospels is a landmark study of the long-buried roots of Christianity, a work of luminous scholarship and wide popular appeal. First published in 1979 to critical acclaim, winning the National Book Award and the National Book Critics Circle Award, The Gnostic Gospels has continued to grow in reputation and influence over the past two decades. It is now widely recognized as one of the most brilliant and accessible histories of early Christian spirituality published in our time. In 1945 an Egyptian peasant unearthed what proved to be the Gnostic Gospels, thirteen papyrus volumes that expounded a radically different view of the life and teachings of Jesus Christ from that of the New Testament. In this spellbinding book, renowned religious scholar Elaine Pagels elucidates the mysteries and meanings of these sacred texts both in the world of the first Christians and in the context of Christianity today. With insight and passion, Pagels explores a remarkable range of recently discovered gospels, including the Gospel of Thomas and the Gospel of Mary Magdalene, to show how a variety of “Christianities” emerged at a time of extraordinary spiritual upheaval. Some Christians questioned the need for clergy and church doctrine, and taught that the divine could be discovered through spiritual search. Many others, like Buddhists and Hindus, sought enlightenment—and access to God—within. Such explorations raised questions: Was the resurrection to be understood symbolically and not literally? Was God to be envisioned only in masculine form, or feminine as well? Was martyrdom a necessary—or worthy—expression of faith? These early Christians dared to ask questions that orthodox Christians later suppressed—and their explorations led to profoundly different visions of Jesus and his message. Brilliant, provocative, and stunning in its implications, The Gnostic Gospels is a radical, eloquent reconsideration of the origins of the Christian faith.

Download or read book Secrets of the Truth written by Gary Scrimnger and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2010-08-04 with total page 449 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It does not matter who or what you are: As long as you are a normal thinking human being, it is clear. Unless we change something, our future is shrouded in calamity. Whether it be self-destruction-nuclear or otherwise, religious apocalypse, who knows, maybe chemical, bacterial/viral or some natural disaster bound to annihilate earth-we are here now, in this time, and we have the capacity to impact, change, and affect the future as no other earthly being (that we are aware of) is capable of doing. The window of opportunity is staring us in the face, and we don't see it, grasp it, or realize it, for we are too preoccupied with the current system of survival and control. You do not have to acquire this book to discover its mission, for the clue lies within all of us as to what we are to do about this condition. We all want and desire change, but each and every one of us feels disempowered, disenfranchised, and incapable of affecting the world around us. That is so by design and intent. And the answer to this condition lies within us and is brought to the fore by the many spiritual and religious belief systems we so dearly cling to, but we do not practice it. If you have now figured it out, then bring your force into action because that is exactly what this book is-a means to expose, uncover, and mobilize the forces within and around us. And in so doing create a destiny closest aligned to what the Creator intended for all of us and our futures.

Download or read book The Genesis of Revelation written by Aerik Vondenburg and published by . This book was released on 2017-06-10 with total page 150 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Genesis of Revelation reveals the secrets of the Bible. The ground-breaking findings reveal that almost everything that is known about the Bible, God, and Jesus, has been based upon an astonishing misunderstanding. According to Jesus, the primary underlying message of his teachings was "hidden" from those who were not ready to know the truth (Mark 4:22; Luke 19:42). This special knowledge is related to what is referred to in the Old Testament as the "secret things" of the Lord (Deuteronomy 29:29). Until now, the "sacred secrets of the kingdom of God" (Luke 8:10; Matthew 13:11) have never been made public to the world. However, clues left to us in various ancient texts, as well as the Bible itself, have made it possible to understand these revolutionary hidden matters for the first time in the modern era. This is one of the most important books that a Christian will ever read.

Download or read book The Secrets of Revelation written by Sekhar Reddy Vasa and published by Faith Scope. This book was released on 2017-01-31 with total page 679 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dear readers! God had created Adam and had installed him as the guardian of the Garden of Eden, and from his side bone, he had created the woman. Though Adam was not aware of the fruit of a tree that was pertinent to the destruction of humans, which was existed in the garden itself, God himself had informed Adam that the destruction of man would take place for sure through the eating of that fruit. But Adam and Eve, both were subjected to the preaching of the serpent, they had consumed that forbidden fruit and had received death and the punishment from the God. Later, during the period of Noah, God had chosen Noah and his family and had made them build the ark for one hundred and twenty years. During that period, through Noah, God had revealed about the disastrous floods and the destruction of the world through that flood well in advance. But there was not any repentance in the humans. The result was the great disastrous floods. Later, during the period of Moses, as God had intended to get the Israelis from the slavery, he had chosen their leader. Through Moses he had intimated about the destruction that was going to take place in Egypt to the Pharaoh, the ruler, and his province. But the result was just the destruction. Even though, God had revealed them in advance about the destruction. In this way, God had been warning people about the upcoming destruction through the prophets well in advance. The reason is his ambitioning that they would repent for their sins and would come into his protection. The citizens of Nineveh are those who had given up their mistakes and had repentance. These, through the preaching of Jonah, had realized their mistakes; they repented for their sins and had received the protection of God. In this way God himself had revealed about the deeds of destruction that he was about to perform through the preaching of the people that he had chosen, and if they do not repent for their sins, he had been destroying them. Similarly, Lord Christ has foretold about the incidents that are going to happen at the end of world to his beloved disciple John. This would have been taken place two thousand years ago. Those who had learnt all the incidents that would take place by the period of Doomsday from the period of Jesus Christ and had acquired repentance had been protected since then. But those had not repented had not been sentenced yet. But the treatise of Revelation is full of mysteries, secrets, and arcana. The multitudes opine that this treatise is a tough nut to crack for the ordinary people. God warns that the destruction is inevitable. It is the ambition of God that each and every one must know the secrets of his coming, because God is not the one who performs the deeds secretly. He would reveal it well in advance through his prophets, he would give them some time, and if they do not acquire repentance, he would destroy them. As a part of that, he had chosen us, he had bestowed us the divine wisdom and instigated us to write in a simple way that each and every one would easily understand the secrets of revelation that explains the reason and the ways the world is going to end, and through this book he is giving a warning to the citizen of the entire world. So I plead you as the messenger of the Father, Son, and Holy Sprit to repent and live a life that is worthy of God. Otherwise, the end of world is inevitable, inevitable, inevitable. Let the Grace of the Lord be with his servants. Amen.

Download or read book The World of Lucha Libre written by Heather Levi and published by Duke University Press. This book was released on 2008-10-24 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The World of Lucha Libre is an insider’s account of lucha libre, the popular Mexican form of professional wrestling. Heather Levi spent more than a year immersed in the world of wrestling in Mexico City. Not only did she observe live events and interview wrestlers, referees, officials, promoters, and reporters; she also apprenticed with a retired luchador (wrestler). Drawing on her insider’s perspective, she explores lucha libre as a cultural performance, an occupational subculture, and a set of symbols that circulate through Mexican culture and politics. Levi argues that the broad appeal of lucha libre lies in its capacity to stage contradictions at the heart of Mexican national identity: between the rural and the urban, tradition and modernity, ritual and parody, machismo and feminism, politics and spectacle. Levi considers lucha libre in light of scholarship about sport, modernization, and the formation of the Mexican nation-state, and in connection to professional wrestling in the United States. She examines the role of secrecy in wrestling, the relationship between wrestlers and the characters they embody, and the meanings of the masks worn by luchadors. She discusses male wrestlers who perform masculine roles, those who cross-dress and perform feminine roles, and female wrestlers who wrestle each other. Investigating the relationship between lucha libre and the mass media, she highlights the history of the sport’s engagement with television: it was televised briefly in the early 1950s, but not again until 1991. Finally, Levi traces the circulation of lucha libre symbols in avant-garde artistic movements and its appropriation in left-wing political discourse. The World of Lucha Libre shows how a sport imported from the United States in the 1930s came to be an iconic symbol of Mexican cultural authenticity.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Book of Revelation: A New Beginning contains the hidden secrets of Saint Johns Revelation, and as you know, it is one of the most debated and most difficult books of all the scriptures to read and understand because of the extreme symbolism tied to it. Man has always assumed the word of Gods prophets and their stories were indisputable just because of their eminence in interpreted them as being true. Man has forgotten the history of himself, Earth, God, the origin of the universe, and how the scriptures have been documented, interpreted, and strictly passed down by our ancestors and religious leaders. As symbolic as Revelation is it has nothing to do with the end days or even about a solitary Anti-Christ as we understand it nor is it about Jesus coming to save you. In truth, Saint Johns Revelation is your own guide showing you that you no longer need to look at yourself as a sinner because you have bared your cross, like Jesus, and now the time has come for you to ascend to a higher state of Mind. The book of Revelation: A New Beginning is a book that will help open the gates of your soul memories so you can become aware of your own divineness, and that you are a God too. My fellow Gods, what is coming to an end is the old ways of perceiving and understanding God. It is not that God is a mystery. It is you that is the mystery, and when fear is resolved within, you are then ready to open up to the hidden secrets behind the Book of Revelation that religions have kept as a secret for thousands of years, either on purpose or because of ignorance.

Download or read book The Secret Revelation of John written by Karen L. King and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 2009-02-28 with total page 414 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lost in antiquity, rediscovered in 1896, and only recently accessible for study, The Secret Revelation of John offers a firsthand look into the diversity of Christianity before the establishment of canon and creed. Karen L. King offers an illuminating reading of this ancient text--a narrative of the creation of the universe and humanity and a guide to justice and salvation, said to be Christ's revelation to his disciple John. Freeing the Revelation from the category of "Gnosticism" to which such accounts were relegated, King shows how the Biblical text could be read by early Christians in radical and revisionary ways. By placing the Revelation in its social and intellectual milieu, she revises our understanding of early Christianity and, more generally, religious thought in the ancient Mediterranean world. Her work helps the modern reader through many intriguing--but confusing--ideas in the text: for example, that the creator god of Genesis, a self-described jealous and exclusive god, is not the true Deity but a kind of fallen angel; or, in an overt critique of patriarchy unique in ancient literature, the declaration that the subordination of woman to man was an ignorant act in direct violation of the "holy height." In King's analysis, the Revelation becomes not strange but a comprehensible religious vision--and a window on the religious culture of the Roman Empire. A translation of the complete Secret Revelation of John is included.
