This book endeavors to show that man has within himself totally undreamed of resources. He has access to a level of wisdom and enlightenment which, if used intelligently, would enable science to cope successfully with the threat of nuclear destruction; the pollution of the planet's air and water resources; psychosomatic and mental illness. In ample but factual language, Mr. Meek has the temerity to lift the lid of Pandora's Box. The energy forces discussed are so powerful that by comparison they dwarf the destructive force of even a nuclear weapon. These energy forces can make planet earth a true Garden of Eden; or they can assure its total disintegration. The forces examined in this volume are nothing less than the stuff of which you and the cosmos are made. Concerned individuals as well as courageous workers in all branches of science should give it careful reading. For the first time an effort is made to focus the findings of psychical research, parapsychology, physics, astronomy, psychiatry, biochemistry, medicine, physiology, and occult literature on an explanation of man's paranormal ability. The result is a mind-stretching experience which will give the reader a totally new insight into his or her own deeper self; point the direction by which each may live a more satisfying and productive life; and look forward with completely new understanding and conviction to his or her own "individuality" surviving dissolution of the physical body. On-the-spot studies have been supplemented by reading in the fields of psychical research, parapsychology, psychiatry, medicine, physiology, physics, occult literature, and unorthodox healing. Of the tens of thousands of books written on the subject of the paranormal, few, if any, begin to "tie it all together" the way this book does.

From Enigma to Science

Aleister Crowley (1875-1947) was uniquely qualified to produce a translation of Lao-tzus Tao Te Ching. He was called the finest English metrical poet of his generation by some of his contemporaries, and his work is anthologized in the Oxford Book of Mystical Verse. He was also a profound and experienced magician, mystic, and philosopher, trained in western esotericism, Hermeticism, the Qabalah and more traditional western philosophy, but with a deep and abiding interest in the ancient philosophies of the Orient.   Crowley traveled widely in the East, and he actually walked across Southern China in 1906. His first-hand experience of the Orient made him one of the first students in the West to grasp oriental philosophy on its own terms, without a Eurocentric or Judeo-Christian cultural bias.  The Chinese scholar Hellmut WIlhelp acknowledged the primacy of Crowleys work in Taoist studies. Crowley had no Chinese, and his translation is that of a poet interpreting the dry and scholastic translation of James Legge, as Ezra Pound would later do with the Confucian Analects. He contributes and autobiographical and critical introduction that discusses his religious philosophy and his lifelong attraction to Taoism, and his extensive notes and commentary to his translation help to amplify the meaning of the Chinese classic.   This edition includes Crowleys verse translation of the Ching-ching Ching (Liber XXI, The Classic of Purity) as an appendix.  This edition includes an editorial forward by Hymenaeus Beta, Frater Superior of O.T.O., as well as bibliography and index.
