The Demon Lover was first published in 1927, the same year as H.P. Lovecraft''s The Call of Cthulhu. Dion Fortune was among a generation of occult horror writers that formed popular culture''s obsession with secret societies, vampires, demons, ritual magic, and dark powers lurking in the shadows. What sets Fortune apart from so many of her contemporaries is her deep knowledge of the inner workings of magical orders, rites, and practices, and her own freethinking on occult subjects, demonstrated in the classic Psychic Self-Defense and The Mystical Qabalah.

There is a clear conspiracy to deny the existence of UFOs. The mainstream media has misinformed us for years about UFO studies conducted by highly regarded scientists associated with some of the finest universities in the country. There is significant evidence that the U.S. government has covered up the alien presence through misinformation, distortion, obfuscation, and ridicule. Some prominent, politically connected scientists have engaged in the cover up. And a few professional writers have helped to successfully label any scientists who have been persuaded by the evidence and brave enough to take a stand as unscientific charlatans, fanatics, and kooks. Fact, Fiction, and Flying Saucers examines the wealth of archival documents that clearly demonstrate this cooperative disinformation effort and refute the false claims made by these professional scoffers. Friedman and Marden set the record straight by examining politically motivated misinformation and presenting the compelling evidence that separates fact from fiction. They reveal: The most compelling UFO evidence, including a variety of large-scale scientific studies.The current state of UFOlogy and what the future holds.The media's role in disclosure and denial.The government scientists whose job it is to deny.The Air Force, FBI, CIA, and NSA's involvement.

Rowdy, ecstatic, and sometimes stern, these teaching stories and fables reveal new and very human properties in Rumi's vision. Included here are the notorious Latin parts that Reynold Nicholson felt were too unseemly to appear in English in his 1920s translation. For Rumi, anything that human beings do--however compulsive--affords a glimpse into the inner life.Here are more than 40 fables or teaching stories that deal with love, laughter, death, betrayal, and the soul. The stories are exuberant, earthy, and bursting with vitality--much like a painting by Hieronymus Bosch or Chaucer's Canterbury Tales. The characters are guilty, lecherous, tricky, ribald, and finally possessors of opened souls.Barks writes: These teaching stories are a kind of scrimshaw--intricately carved, busy figures, confused and threatening, and weirdly funny.This is an entertaining collection from one of the greatest spiritual poets of all time, rendered by his most popular translator.The minute I heard my first love story, I started looking for you, not knowing how blind that was. Lovers don't finally meet somewhere. They're in each other all along.--Rumi

LIFE AFTER NEAR DEATH is the only book to explore the deeper meaning of the near-death experience (NDE) through the prism of its miraculous after effects. You don''t need to be declared clinically dead to experience an NDE. Nor must you experience many of Raymond Moody''s nine elements, including a life review, an out-of-body experience, encounters with deceased loved ones and a decision to return to one''s body. The key is whether you return from the experience permanently transformed. LIFE AFTER NEAR DEATH profiles a dozen cases of specific cognitive and physiological near-death after effects, including newfound musical and artistic talents, mathematical gifts, enhanced hearing, elevated IQ, improved eyesight, spontaneous healing and electrical sensitivity. It explores new evidence to shed light on this phenomenon and reveals for the first time:┬╖The link between predisposition and the NDE.┬╖The role of manifestation and intent in the creation of the NDE.┬╖The unmistakable connections among the energetic world, frequency and the NDE.┬╖The circumstances and conditions that give rise to a NDE. LIFE AFTER NEAR DEATH offers a new, science-based paradigm to unravel the NDE and our assumptions regarding the afterlife. Although you can return from an NDE, you will never return to your former life.
