January 2006 The Wisdom Seminars/Home Temple Newsletter
What's New for 2006
Seasons Greetings!
I have added several E-books to the catalogue of Seminars, including three that can be downloaded free of charge.

There are now seven complete Seminars comprising over thirty hours of multimedia lecture-presentation, including the most recent additions, GNOSTICISM: ANCIENT AND MODERN, and ROSSLYN CHAPEL AND ESOTERIC FREEMASONRY.

THE INITIATIC MYSTERIES OF CLASSICAL ANTIQUITY
  Each Module Separately for $20
During the year 2006 I will be completing Modules 7- 10 of this Seminar. This is the only Seminar whose Modules I make available individually. Tuition is $20/Module. I do this because each Module is a separate topic, and all topics are fundamental for understanding the Western Mystery Tradition. This way people can try part of a Seminar for only $20

Purchase of individual modules will be credited against tuition for the complete Seminar when it becomes available.

MOTHER JENNIE'S GARDEN
  My Teacher's Biography as Told to Me
One of the books I have added as an online E-book the the biography of my Teacher, Mother Jennie. She was a great Initiate, psychic, and Theosophical saint who left her body in the year 1976 at the age of 97. She related her life story to me in many tape- recorded sessions over several months. Anyone interested in the spiritual and psychic development of a great saint should read this book.
SEPHER HA-RAZIM AND ITS TRADITIONS
  Unique Study of Ancient Jewish Magic and Theurgy
Many decades ago a scholar named Margalioth recovered numerous fragments and whole sections of Hellenistic Jewish magical texts. Their coherence led to his hypothesis that they constituted an ancient initiatic document he called SEPHER HA- RAZIM, the Book of Secrets, Mysteries, Hidden Things.

Unfortunately, Margaloith died before he could do adequate research, but I was able to procure the Hebrew text, translate it, and compare it to Babylonian, Egyptian-Demotic, and Greek magical texts an theurgical liturgies in this four-part study. I now make my unpublished manuscript available to anyone interested.

COMING THIS YEAR
  New Modules, Seminars, and More
In addition to completing the INITIATIC MYSTERIES Modules, I'll plan to complete the Seminar entitled THE HERMETIC RENAISSANCE AND THE ROSICRUCIAN SCHOOLS. I plan to also put up THE HELLENISTIC MYSTERIES OF HERMES TRISMEGISTUS based on my doctoral dissertation, which was a translation, edition, and interpretation of Tractate 6 of Nag Hammadi Coptic Gnostic Library Codex VI.
(The complete dissertation is available now as an E-book, and parts of it will be included with the printable materials from the Seminar when it appears online.)

My next priority will be the Seminar entitled THE WESTERN MYSTERY TRADITION: MEDIEVAL AND MODERN.

This year I also plan to post an E-book copy of my new novel, YESHUA:THE UNKNOWN JESUS, when it is complete.

I plan also to offer a course in Coptic for people who want to have a better basis for understanding the Nag Hammadi Coptic Gnostic Library documents. It will include a step-by-step textbook with Coptic and Greek glossaries and a large selection of Coptic Gnostic texts in all dialects (pictured above). Studies will be guided by a multimedia Seminar of several Modules. This will be essentialy the same course I taught for several years at U.C.S.C. You'll have to learn both Greek and Coptic alphabets just to begin, but the effort will be well worth the results for those who persevere.
