Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this monumental work, Raphael Patai opens up an entirely new field of cultural history by tracing Jewish alchemy from antiquity to the nineteenth century. Until now there has been little attention given to the significant role that Jews played in the field of alchemy. Here, drawing on an enormous range of previously unexplored sources, Patai reveals that Jews were major players in what was for centuries one of humanity's most compelling intellectual obsessions.

Download or read book Quinta Essentia written by Riccardo Storti and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2007-12-09 with total page 330 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Quinta Essentia: A Practical Guide to Space-Time Engineering (the series), describes the development of a mathematical method termed "Electro-Gravi-Magnetics" (EGM). This text, Part Two of the "Quinta Essentia" series, is a summarised presentation of the key results and findings of Parts Three and Four. The EGM method generates new predictions and confirms well-established experimental observations, particularly in the fields of Particle-Physics and Cosmology. It is our explicit hope that the material presented in the "Quinta Essentia" series, will inspire new ideas and experiments dealing directly with matter-space-time modification, by either applying EGM methods or through the development of one's own approach.

Download or read book Quinta Essentia The Five Elements written by Morag Campbell and published by MWI Publishing. This book was released on 2003 with total page 134 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Quinta Essentia is the elusive fifth element which creates the stage for the more familiar astrological elements of Air, Fire, Water and Earth to be expressed. To discover and truly understand our essential self we must explore the unique combination of all the elements as they play through our life.You have all heard of "space cadets", "air heads", "hot heads", "wet blankets", "stick in the muds" and the like, but do you know how these terms came about? This book explains how our personalities, modes of communication, even our health problems are related to the balance of the Five Elements which are the building blocks of life. Getting to know these elements and how they manifest in our lives, enriches our understading of ourselves and others, improves our relationships and gives direction and purpose to our life.

Download or read book Quinta Essentia written by Riccardo Storti and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2007-08-01 with total page 414 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We utilise principles of mass-energy distribution and similitude by ZPF equilibria to derive the values of the present Hubble constant "H0" and CMBR temperature "T0." It is demonstrated that a mathematical relationship exists between the Hubble constant and CMBR temperature such that "T0" is derived from "H0." The values derived are "67.0843(km/s/Mpc)" and "2.7248(K)" respectively. We also derive improved estimates for the solar distance from the Galactic centre "Ro" and total Galactic mass "MG" as being "8.1072(kpc)" and "6.3142 x1011(solar-masses)" respectively. The construct herein implies that the observed "accelerated expansion" of the Universe is attributable to the determination of the ZPF energy density threshold "U_ZPF" being"
Download or read book Mental Health Spirituality and Religion in the Middle Ages and Early Modern Age written by Albrecht Classen and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2014-07-28 with total page 744 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume continues the critical exploration of fundamental issues in the medieval and early modern world, here concerning mental health, spirituality, melancholy, mystical visions, medicine, and well-being. The contributors, who originally had presented their research at a symposium at The University of Arizona in May 2013, explore a wide range of approaches and materials pertinent to these issues, taking us from the early Middle Ages to the eighteenth century, capping the volume with some reflections on the relevance of religion today. Lapidary sciences matter here as much as medical-psychological research, combined with literary and art-historical approaches. The premodern understanding of mental health is not taken as a miraculous panacea for modern problems, but the contributors suggest that medieval and early modern writers, scientists, and artists commanded a considerable amount of arcane, sometimes curious and speculative, knowledge that promises to be of value and relevance even for us today, once again. Modern palliative medicine finds, for instance, intriguing parallels in medieval word magic, and the mystical perspectives encapsulated highly productive alternative perceptions of the macrocosm and microcosm that promise to be insightful and important also for the post-modern world.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Aristotle's definition of the soul should be interpreted as: 'the soul is the entelechy of a natural body that serves as its instrument'. The theory of a fine-corporeal body makes it much easier to understand Aristotle's position between Plato and the Stoics . This correction puts paid to all theories about a development in Aristotle's thought.
Download or read book Quinta Essentia Part 1 2nd Ed written by Geoffrey Diemer and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2009-01-08 with total page 218 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: General Relativity states that matter generates "curvature" within the vacuum of space surrounding it, and that this curvature gives rise to inertial force and gravitational attraction amongst objects. The Electro-Gravi-Magnetics (EGM) method, described in the Quinta Essentia series, greatly enhances our understanding of the phenomenon of curvature. EGM is an engineering tool which systematically reveals the common thread connecting GR, Quantum Mechanics and Electromagnetism. Via this connection, one may represent space-time curvature in quantitative terms. The unique "universality" of EGM makes it a highly valuable and versatile tool for use in varied fields of physics. It also provides a practical framework for investigating "space-time metric engineering" concepts such as the artificial modification of gravitational fields and faster-than-light propulsion mechanisms. Part One of the Quinta Essentia series presents the layman reader with a conceptual introduction to the EGM method.

Download or read book Prophecy Alchemy and the End of Time written by Leah DeVun and published by Columbia University Press. This book was released on 2013-12-01 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the middle of the fourteenth century, the Franciscan friar John of Rupescissa sent a dramatic warning to his followers: the end times were coming; the apocalypse was near. Rupescissa's teachings were unique in his era. He claimed that knowledge of the natural world, and alchemy in particular, could act as a defense against the calamity of the last days. He treated alchemy as medicine (his work was the conceptual forerunner of pharmacology), and reflected emerging technologies and views that sought to combat famine, plague, religious persecution, and war. In order to understand scientific knowledge as it is today, Leah DeVun asks that we revisit the Black Death, the Hundred Years' War, and the Avignon Papacy through Rupescissa's eyes. The advances he pioneered, along with the exciting strides made by his contemporaries, shed critical light on future developments in medicine, pharmacology, and chemistry.
Download or read book Liber 420 written by Chris Bennett and published by TrineDay. This book was released on 2018-04-20 with total page 762 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although little known, cannabis and other psychoactive plants held a prominent and important role in the Occult arts of Alchemy and Magic, as well as being used in ritual initiations of certain secret societies. Find out about the important role cannabis played in helping to develop modern medicines through alchemical works. Cannabis played a pivotal role in spagyric alchemy, and appears in the works of alchemists such as Zosimos, Avicenna, Llull, Paracelsus, Cardano and Rabelais. Cannabis also played a pivotal role in medieval and renaissance magic and recipes with instructions for its use appear in a number of influential and important grimoires such as the Picatrix, Sepher Raxiel: Liber Salomonis, and The Book of Oberon. Could cannabis be the Holy Grail? With detailed historical references, the author explores the allegations the Templars were influenced by the hashish ingesting Assassins of medieval Islam, and that myths of the Grail are derived from the Persian traditions around the sacred beverage known as haoma, which was a preparation of cannabis,opium and other drugs. Many of the works discussed, have never been translated into English, or published in centuries. The unparalleled research in this volume makes it a potential perennial classic on the subjects of both medieval and renaissance history of cannabis, as well as the role of plants in the magical and occult traditions.
