"Philadelphia A Story Sequence in Verse" is a window on the work of esoteric schools. It portrays a small, representative group of loving friends who at first naively and later decisively with the potent ancient knowledge in which they have been instructed engage in storytelling's highest purpose: to remind and remind and remind us again to remember and hold ourselves aware of what our busy minds are always forgetting - the present, where the divine resides. John Craig, the author, is a poet and teacher who with his wife Victoria,a native of Phila-delphia,lives in the Sierra foothills of northern California. They have two grown sons.

History & Criticism

A compilation of letters, articles and essays that first appeared in various publications, this book first appeared in 2007. Since then it has become evident that a second edition is necessary both because of changes in the object of discussion -- practical application of the Fourth Way system of Gurdjieff and Ouspensky greatly enriched by the teachings of Robert Burton -- and because of the continued maturation of the author Rolando Altamirano. In the Introduction Rolando explains: "A School of Fourth Way is a living organism, and as such it is constantly growing, developing and changing; and most of all, it moves at an increasing speed." This book mirrors that movement.

Journey To The West is a novel about the mythical journey of the monk Sanzang, who travels from Chang`an, the Chinese capital during the Tang dynasty [618-907AD], to Buddha`s Western Heaven in India, to receive the scriptures from the Buddha. He is given this task by the Bodhisattva Guan Yin, on instruction of the Buddha. Along the way, he gets help from a monkey called Sun Wukong and three other disciples Pig, Friar Sand and a horse. The story is a metaphor for the journey to enlightenment... It is based on the true story of a Buddhist monk Xuanzang (602 - 664 AD), who traveled alone to India, motivated by the poor quality of Chinese translations of Buddhist scripture at the time. Xuanzang left Chang'an in 629 AD and reached India in 630. He traveled throughout the Indian subcontinent for the next thirteen years, visiting important Buddhist pilgrimage sites and studying at the ancient university at Nalanda. Xuanzang left India in 643 and arrived back in Chang'an in 646. Gradually, stories about Xuanzang`s quest for the scriptures started circulating among the people, and with the passage of time, they acquired a more and more mystical coloring. Viewing this, a Taoist Master, Liu Yiming, said simply, "This is the most extraordinary Taoist book of all time." Journey To The West has been made into TV series, movies, and comic books and has been used in stage productions and operas. It has become a household name in China and also Japan. 478 pages

Lincoln, Rumi, Shams and Rabi'a in one volume? How is that possible? While three are Sufis, even Rumi and Shams are separated by a gulf of 400 years from Rabi'a. As for Rabi'a, she was at different times in her life, an orphan, a slave and a prostitute. And Lincoln? On top of another 500 years, the great statesman belongs to an entirely different civilization and religion. Where's the connection?  "To the spiritual seeker,", Kehl and Walker contend,"The connection ... is unmistakable. Christ said "I am the good shepherd; I know my own and my own know me." Sincere aspirants on the Spiritual Path recognize Masters; it can be no other way, as they are striving after the same reality." Lincoln, Rumi and Rabi'a are "linked by their unwavering pursuit of Spiritual Truth through Self Knowledge." The proof will be in the reading: In these three remarkable drama produced and performed during the fall and summer months of 2010 and 2011 the authors encourage readers to "search out the connections-rather than notice any supposed differences".  192 pages.

<p>The first volume in the Where The Three Worlds Touch series is reconstructed from actual reports by Lincoln's closest friends, relatives, and political associates. The timely text captures the humor, gentle kindness, and homespun conscious humility of America's greatest statesman in the context of the horror of a country sliding inexorably into civil war.</p>

The Divan of Divine Presence

A collection of love poems reminiscent of Elizabeth Browning's Sonnets From the Portuguese in their stunning emotional lucidity, plus drawings and photos of porcelain handicraft by the same multi-gifted artist who died tragically of cancer in 2011. Spanning nearly thirty years the poems document how a young woman comes of age in modern society, searching for the meaning of existence, and not finding it in family, church, lovers, nowhere but in furtive glimpses of a higher order of reality during moments of creativity and simple presence to the beauty of existence. Only a small fraction of the author's total output of pastel drawings and handicraft are published here with her poetry.
