A GLOSSARY OF GOSSAMER BOOKS
CYCLES- The Mysterious Forces That Trigger Events
Edward R Dewey [see people glossary] Published 1971 - Excellent Resource View table of contents
From the book -
"Obviously if these forces do exist, and if they have influenced human affairs in the past, any theory of human activity that fails to take these forces into account is deficient. History, economics, philosophy, and every other area touched by man would need to be reevaluated."
PARACELSUS Selected Writings
Edited by Jolande Jacobi Translated by Norbert Guterman Published 1951 and 1988 [Originally Published in 1942 as Theophrastus Paracelsus Lebendiges Erbe]
The book has a forward written by Carl Jung, contains 148 Illustrations listed with source details, and a glossary of Paracelsus' concepts. Jacobi says, "In this book the illustrations, the bibliography, and especially the glossary are intended to serve as guides for the student." But I think that the KEY TO SOURCES pages 235-244 are the actual guides, as these were her essential guide. Her work is drawn from Karl Sudhoff who published in 1894. Paracelsus lived 500 years ago, but his story only began to unfold for us in the 1880's.

PRIMAL WISDOM OF THE ANCIENTS
Laird Scranton Published 2020
A book discussing ancient cultures and the commonalities existing between them despite distance between time periods and locations of the people. Uncomplicated but deeply meanifngful. It may be either a place to start exploring or a book that expands one's own existing knowledge of cosmologies, sacred sicence, creation. It is an approachable book for all levels of interested readers. This is one of a series of books by Laird Scranton that together or singularly may build and expand a readers insights into who we are as human beings.
SACRED SCIENCE
R.A. Schwaller de Lubicz. first published 1961 in French
This book is much easier to carry around than Schwaller's two volumes of The Temple of Man, and it is less overwhelming. If it is a goal to learn about ancient Egypt then the books of R.A. Schwaller become the means to this end And in the end what is realized is that it isn't about of ancient Egypt. Speed reading or skimmg the pages of books like this will only be similar to getting your feet wet while standing on the beach of an ocean. His work is deep, expansive and stays with you like the sand on wet feet walking back to the car to drive home.
SECRETS OF THE AETHER
David W. Thomson III and Jim D Bourssa published 2004.
An approachable book for readers interested in the material and nonmaterial aspects of the universe. "To present the physical Universe in coherent terms, we must understand the non¬ material “field,” or environment, in which physical matter exists. "
"Even though mainsteam physicists have claimed for 100 years that there is no Aether, this book shows that not only is there a quantifiable Aether, but that the experimental evidence for Aether has existed all along."
"Interspersed with the physics in this book are metaphysical hypotheses. As is the case for all metaphysics, whether of science, religion, or philosophy, it is up to the reader to evaluate whether the metaphysical concepts have any meaning at all. "
SEVEN BRIEF LESSONS ON PHYSICS
CARLO ROVELLI, Italian Physicist 1956- Published 2016
"These lessons were written for those who know little or nothing about modern science" -from the Preface of the book. Read the article
THE COMING RACE
Edward Bulwer Lytton 1803-1873. Published 1874
A slow beginning but it becomes interesting as the story moves on. The old style language also lessens after the first couple chapters. Some people may know this book as Vril, The Power of The Coming Race as it was called in later publications. It is the story of a man who is exploring a mine and falls into deep realms. Unable to climb his way out he travels into the subterranian world of the Vril race of people. The book is written in a style that leads the reader to believe this could be a nonfiction book, though it is published as fiction.
THE GOD PARTICLE
Leon Lederman with Dick Teresi Published 1993
The title refers to a subatomic particle called the Higgs boson which was long theorized until the powerful particle collider at CERN confirmed its existence.
"HOW DOES THE UNIVERSE WORK? This book is devoted to one problem, a problem that has confounded science since antiquity. What are the ultimate building blocks of matter?" from Chapter One
This book is not only easily understandable- considering the subject 'matter'- but FUN, educating, consciousness changing if you are looking for answers to big questions. Reading it feels ike a great conversation with a friend of a friend. Years ago I was telling the brother of a friend I knew in high school about this book and my admiration for Lederman, when the person I was speaking with said- "Oh, I worked with him".. and then validated all my good impressions. Of course.
This book is where I first encountered Wolfgang Pauli. Gotta love him.! I got to know him better in the biographical story[ies] of the friendship between Pauli and Carl Jung.
Lederman tells a story of the number 137 that all physicists ponder. Then a funny made up story about 137 and Pauli and God, made up to show the Pauli personality known and probabley loved, most definitely respected. He then relays this story of Pauli ..."There's a true story also - a verifiable story- that takes place here on earth. Pauli was in fact obsessed with 137, and spent countless hours pondering its significance. The number plagued him to the very end. When Pauli's assistant visited the theorist in the
hospital room in which he was placed prior to his fatal operation, Pauli instructed the
assistant to note the number on the door as he left. The room number was 137."
THE MADONNA SECRET
FICTION Sophie Strand Published 2023
A story of the time, place and characters in the life of Mary Magdalene. A long and overly descriptive writing that takes away from the story line rather than enhancing the imagination of the reader. Read more
THE SECRET MAGDALENE
FICTION Ki Longfellow 1944-2022 Published 2005
A story of Mary Magdalene. A well researched well written excellent novel.
THE SECRET SOCIETIES OF ALL AGES AND COUNTRIES
Charles William Heckethorn Published 1875
The book is a comprhensive and interesting account of 150 or more secret organizations which were known to the author and existed during or preceding his lifetime. As he put it, these societies existed from the most remote ages down to the present time, which was 1875.
THE SECRET TEACHINGS OF ALL AGES
Manly P Hall 1901-1990 Published 1928
A useful book for becoming acquainted with symbols, secret societies, and occult history. It is more a foundation to build upon rather than a house of wisdom. Hall wrote this book during his mid twenties, however he had no background in the mysteries, the teachings or the realms the book covers. But his work is important as a record. Read the article for more insight to the man and his work.
THE VELIKOVSKY AFFAIR: SCIENTISM VERSUS SCIENCE
Alfred de Grazia (Editor), Contributions by Ralph Juergens. Livio C Stecchini. Alfred de Grazia, Immanuel Velikovsky
"...In 1950, the appearance of Immanuel Velikovsky's WORLDS IN COLLISION precipi-
fated a storm in the scientific world. What Dr. Velokovsky had done was to provide evidence, gleaned from a painstaking and inspired study of the world's ancient records, that global catastrophes had occurred in recent history and that these were caused by extraterrestrial agents. He identified these agents (in the most recent incidents) as Venus and Mars, and pointed to a number of facts which, could they be proved, would corroborate his thesis." - from the preface of the book
THE WORLD'S FAMOUS ORATIONS Ten Volumes
William Jennings Bryan (1860-1925) & Francis Whiting Halsey(1851-1919) published 1906
These ten volumes are a collection of speeches or given over the centuries from Greece in 400 BC, through Rome, Brittain, Europe, America up to 1905. Interesting captures of time and eras and cycles of history seemingly similar.
WORLDS in COLLISION
Immanuel Velikovsky (1895-1979) published
"Prominent American scientists greeted Velikovsky with a remarkable demonstration of ill will that included a successful attempt to compel the original publisher to drop the book. Editors and museum directors forfeited positions of long standing for endorsing Velikovsky's views. Leading astronomical laboratories refused to test Velikovsky's theories. The reading public witnessed the unique spectacle of a scientific debate waged not in the semi-privacy of scientific meetings and journals. but in the popular press with the scientists on the one side and the lay champions of free speech on the other." - from the jacket cover of the
"Immanuel Velikovsky manifests a strong distaste for summaries
and popularizations of his books. In the past, many erroneous criti-
cisms of his work have been based upon such popularizations, the
critics never having studied his books. And indeed these books,
detailed in their arguments and exhaustive in their documentation,
do not easily lend themselves to summarization." - from the Preface of the book Velikovsky Reconsidered
