If someone tells you that you have enough books and you don't need anymore, stop talking to them.

You don't need that kind of negativity in your life.

GNOSTIC BELIEF & RITUAL IN THE BIBLE
by Bruce Johnson

Ritual In The Bible
Jesus studied in the ancient mystery schools of the Essenes, who like the Nazarenes and Orphites, were one of the many sects of the Gnostics that flourished around the Middle East up to the fourth century A.D. Gnostic philosophy, ceremony, and symbolism in its various forms can be readily seen in the life of Jesus and throughout the Bible.
Early Christianity, who after relentlessly persecuting and killing Gnostics as heretics and burning their books, ultimately adopted many aspects of Gnosticism as its own.

WHERE ARE YOU GOING...AND HOW DO YOU KNOW WHEN YOU GET THERE?
by Mario C. Veo

Where Are you Going

When I first started on my Journey, I was a very enthusiastic Seeker - more accurately I was a 'Workshop Junkie'. I couldn't wait for the local New Age Newsletter to arrive so that I could hold my pen - poised with quivering anticipation - and select the classes I so hopefully thought would lead me to 'Enlightenment' (or at least to Ascension)... ah, the good old days of innocent desire.

So, now that I am older (and not necessarily 'wiser') I have learned to pace myself and , while I may not fully agree with the facile adage ("You seek for the Truth to the Ends of the World, only to find yourself there"), still I have uncovered a few, small morsels of 'Truth'...

PLANETS AND POSSIBILITIES: A Look at the Astrology of January
by Sally Shotwell

Planets & Possibilities
In welcoming 2015 into our lives we're bringing valuable knowledge and experiences last year made available to us. 2014 carried with it the continuous influence of Pluto(God of the Underworld) in achievement-oriented Capricorn clashing with revolutionary Uranus in aggressive Aries, each wanting to dominate enormous personal and global changes. While we kept our bearings in the midst of fluctuating circumstances, we gained expertise in remaining flexible and grounded. This will serve us well as we relinquish emotionally-charged expectations which are no longer feasible and allow our lives to expand.

THE HUMAN SPIRIT
by Drusant

Chakras

The human spirit has fought eternally for the right to express itself openly and freely without fear of oppression or reprisal. I now fear again for our tomorrows, for our near future of regimented control and of this new and expanded science that can influence with programmed technology the direction of our thoughts and the formation of our beliefs.

The liberation of our soul is the life-long struggle of our being; it's the natural instinct inherited from our source. It's what every life form yearns for as it grows through dirt toward the sun, toward the light.
