This book was released on 2020 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The Literati Path explores the life and teachings of the Ming author and alchemist Lu Xixing (1520-1601). It begins by examining his biography, religious community, alchemical doctrine, and methods of practice. Lu was special in that he embodied the literati tradition of self-cultivation, engaging in the alchemical arts without ever leaving his habitual life. He did not abandon his family, was never ordained, and had no connection to Daoist or other institutions. He learned internal alchemy from books and through spirit-writing seances where he met Lü Dongbin and other immortals. Next, the work expounds the cosmological doctrines at the foundation of internal alchemy, including those found in the Yijing and the Cantong qi, and outlines the universal ebb and flow of yin and yang as the basis of the immortal elixir. It moves on to describe just how the practice serves to overcome destiny, modeling techniques on biological gestation and creating a new being deep within. It explains major alchemical concepts as applied by Lu Xixing and systematically describes his path to immortality, all the while questioning the validity of his reputation as a sexual alchemist. Shedding fascinating new light on the religious life of Ming literati and providing a first access to a unique take on internal alchemy in late imperial China, The Literati Path to Immortality is a must for anyone interested in traditional Chinese religion and culture!"--

Book excerpt: Following the release of their international best-seller, Exo-Vaticana, Thomas Horn and Cris Putnam were inundated with requests from around the world to be interviewed on radio, television, and in print media. What they discovered sent shockwaves through Christianity concerning the Vatican's advanced telescope, which sits on top of Mt. Graham in Arizona (USA) where the Jesuits admit they are monitoring "something" approaching the earth. After the authors' initial report was published in Exo-Vaticana, the pope's top astronomer took to the airwaves and on the Vatican Observatory website to try and explain the role that he and other church astronomers are playing in regards to emerging "ET Friendly" theology, their association with the LUCIFER device at Mt. Graham, and their developing doctrines concerning extraterrestrial life and the impact it may have on planet Earth's religions; Christianity in particular.Now, armed with fresh information from the native peoples (that failed before a federal appeals court to stop the construction of the Vatican's observatory on one of their four holiest mountains), the authors set out with cameras and field investigators to unearth their most astonishing discovery yet. The mountain is said to be a portal, a gateway to another dimension. And, as the Vatican knows and the authors uncovered, it is not the only one.NOW, FOR THE FIRST TIME, THIS BOOK REVEALS...*Unveiled! What Mt. Graham really is, and why NASA and the Vatican are there*Disclosed! What the Bible says about gateways and the beings that wait behind them*Discovered! Scientific evidence of, and signals from, life beneath the surface of the earth*Found! The ancient stargates and their association with vortex manifestations*Uncovered! Gobekli tepe, Baalbek, and the secrets of the coming immortalsIn On the Path of the Immortals, internationally acclaimed, investigative authors Thomas Horn and Cris Putnam continue the greatest investigation of our time by exposing the facts kept hidden from the public by elitists and intellectuals who are planning mankind's assimilation under a coming "savior," one whom the prophet Daniel foresaw as "an alien god."

Download or read book Immortality written by Stephen Cave and published by Biteback Publishing. This book was released on 2012-04-17 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There is a cloud-capped peak where gods and immortals while away their infinite days, and since the dawn of humanity everyone - whether they know it or not - has been trying to climb that mountain. But there are only four paths up its treacherous slope. Throughout history, people have wagered everything on their choice and fought wars against those who've decided differently. Each of these four paths - simply staying alive indefinitely, through magic or medicine; being resurrected; persisting as a soul; or living on through one's legacy - is revealed to us by a historical figure who serves as our guide. It is through these diverse individuals - such as the Egyptian queen Nefertiti; vitamin-obsessed Nobel Laureate Linus Pauling; author Mary Shelley; and Alexander the Great - that we come to understand how many of civilisation's greatest achievements have been born of our need to see our essence endure. As optimistic about the human condition as it is insightful, Immortality takes the reader on an eye-opening journey from the beginnings of civilisation to the present day. Bringing together history and philosophy, this fascinating book both enlightens and entertains, investigating whether it just might be possible to live forever, and whether that's something we should actually aspire to. But its most powerful and arresting argument is this - that it is our very preoccupation with defying mortality that has made our civilisation what it is.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "What is immortality? Does it mean living forever in the same physical body? The Path to Immortality shows that immortality means total liberation from the duality of this world and absolute freedom through spiritual mastery and higher consciousness. Immortality, it shows, is your divine right and the destiny of your soul. This far-reaching work unfolds metaphysical truths about the law of cycles and the seven “bodies” of man, the planes of consciousness, the inner working of the chakras and the flow of energy through them. It also explores what the soul is and how we can take care of it, the meaning of the “fiery trial,” dangers that confront the soul on the homeward path and tools to deal with them."

Download or read book Immortal Combat written by Bruce Thomas and published by Blue Snake Books. This book was released on 2006-12-26 with total page 196 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A complete overview of all aspects of combat, from the primitive to the cutting-edge, Immortal Combat uses Bruce Lee’s life and work as a martial artist to examine the crucial differences between the soldier and the warrior. It draws an analogy between the ambitions of the competitive, ego-driven martial sportsman, typified by the career of karate champion Joe Lewis, and the spiritual aims of the martial artist, personified by the life of Morehei Ueshiba, the founder of aikido. Bruce Lee represents the man torn between his ambitions and his art, who somehow has to reconcile the two. The book argues that the path of the martial artist is that of self-mastery and self-knowledge, while the ambition of the martial sportsman is to set himself above and apart from others. This thought-provoking read moves beyond the popular image of Bruce Lee as an action hero, placing his life and legacy in a deeper context.

Download or read book Creating the Soul Body written by Robert E. Cox and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2008-04-18 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Outlines the principles and mechanics of the soul body, the spiritual vehicle that enables individual consciousness to survive the body’s death • Shows that the ancient Vedic, Egyptian, Hebraic, and Pythagorean traditions shared and understood this spiritual practice • Reveals modern science as only now awakening to this ancient sacred science Ancient peoples the world over understood that individual consciousness is rooted in a universal field of consciousness and is therefore eternal, surviving the passing of the physical body. They engaged in spiritual practices to make that transition maximally auspicious. These practices can be described as a kind of alchemy, in which base elements are discarded and higher levels of consciousness are realized. The result is the creation of a vehicle, a soul body, that carries consciousness beyond physical death. These spiritual preparations are symbolized in the Vedic, Egyptian, and Hebraic traditions as a divine stairway or ladder, a step-by-step path of ascent in which the practitioner raises consciousness by degrees until it comes to rest in the bosom of the infinite, thereby becoming “immortal.” This spiritual process explains the reincarnation of the Dalai Lama, for example, whose reincarnation is confirmed in infancy through physical and spiritual signs, indicating that the consciousness has been carried from one lifetime to the next. In Creating the Soul Body, Robert Cox maps the spiritual journey of consciousness behind this sacred science of immortality and reveals the practice of creating a soul body in detail. He also shows that this ancient spiritual science resembles advanced theories of modern science, such as wave and particle theory and the unified field theory, and reveals that modern science is only now awakening to this ancient science of “immortality.”
