       > The Apocryphal Texts The excluded and suppressed books of the
       Bible. In the process of determining the Biblical canon, a large
       number of texts were excluded from the New Testament, many of
       which were vigorously suppressed or destroyed. Some survive only
       as fragments.

       The Gospel of the Holy Twelve Also known as "The Gospel of the
       Nazarenes," the text includes the complete life and teachings of
       Jesus the Nazarene. The lections of this ancient Gospel set
       forth a much higher moral and spiritual understanding than is
       currently taught by the orthodox Christian church.
       The Essene Gospels of Peace Liberated from the secret archives
       of the Vatican, these sacred scrolls are testaments to the
       eternal and living truth.
       The Nag Hammadi Library a collection of thirteen ancient codices
       containing over fifty texts. Discovered in upper Egypt in 1945,
       this immensely important discovery includes a large number of
       primary Gnostic scriptures, texts once thought to have been
       entirely destroyed during the early Christian struggle to define
       "orthodoxy."
       The Gospel of Thomas These are the secret sayings which the
       living Jesus spoke and which Didymos Judas Thomas wrote down.
       Complete with parallels and commonalties from the New Testament
       Gospels.
       The Greek New Testament The entire 1881 Westcott-Hort  New
       Testament in ancient Greek. Variant readings are also given
       within the text of this translation. (The Greek "symbol" font is
       required for viewing this text.)
       The Gospel of Q A collection of Jesus' sayings which forms the
       two-source hypothesis and the most widely accepted solution to
       the synoptic problem which posits that Matthew and Luke drew on
       two written sources, as shown by textual correspondences between
       their works. The Gospel of Mark forms one source, and Q the
       other.
       The Sophia (Wisdom) of Jesus Christ A revelation discourse
       describing the celestial regions beyond the visible world. Given
       by the risen Christ in response to questions by his disciples.
       The Book of Enoch Once considered scripture, the Book of Enoch
       contains many key concepts used by Jesus. Over a hundred phrases
       in the New Testament find precedents in this ancient text. Many
       Aramaic fragments of Enoch have been recovered from the Qumran
       caves, showing the importance of Enoch to the Essene community.
       From Enoch to the Dead Sea Scrolls From the remote ages of
       antiquity this remarkable teaching has existed which is
       universal in its application and ageless in its wisdom.
       The Dead Sea Scrolls Their discovery, interpretations and
       publication. A collection of 850 documents which were discovered
       between 1947 and 1956 at eleven caves near Qumran, a fortress
       northwest of the Dead Sea. They were written in Hebrew, Aramaic,
       and Greek, sometime between the 2nd century BC and the 1st
       century ACE.
       The Authors of the Dead Sea Scrolls The latest discoveries and
       scholarly debate on the authors of the Dead Sea scrolls and the
       Temple library of Jerusalem.
       Christ in Islâm Traditional sayings and stories attributed to
       Jesus taken from Islamic literature. Islam has always considered
       Jesus to be one of the greatest of prophets. Highly recommended
       to anyone interested in comparative religion or alternative
       views of Jesus.
       The Kybalion The study of the Hermetic philosophy of ancient
       Egypt and Greece. These teachings cannot be accredited to any
       one person or human source, for these teachings represent the
       workings of Creation Itself.
       The Wisdom of Solomon One of the forgotten books of the
       Apocrypha; It is a 1st century Greek work originating in
       Alexandrian Egypt. The work relates early Nazarite and Essene
       understandings of the feminine principle of God at work in the
       ancient Hebrew tradition.
       Clothed With The Sun The Book of the Illuminations of Anna Bonus
       Kingsford. A contemporary of Rev. Ouseley, this remarkable text
       explains the interpretations of mystical scripture and the
       spiritual mysteries of the kingdoms of God.
       The Book of the Mysteries of God Anciently called "The Greater
       Mysteries" as containing knowledges which for their interiorness
       were reserved for initiates of high degree.
       The Perfect Way or The Finding of Christ The Perfect Way
       represents a discovery to ascertain the nature and method of
       existence. It also represents a recovery because the system
       propounded has proved to be that which constituted the basic and
       secret doctrines of all the great religions of antiquity,
       including Christianity, – the doctrine commonly called the
       Gnosis, and variously entitled Hermetic and Kabbalistic.
       Textual Analysis of Biblical Literature The scholarly approach
       of studying, evaluating and critically assessing the Bible as
       literature in order to better understand its origins and the
       original intentions of its authors.

       Greece.The Kybalion is attributed to the Hermes Trismegistus (a
       syncretic combination of the Greek god Hermes and the Egyptian
       god Thoth). The Kybalion is a study of the Hermetic Philosophy
       of life and the 7 hermetic principles. It explores the
       relationships between human beings, the cosmos, and God. The
       book helped popularize the axiom As Above, So Below and
       propounds the idea that mind is causational. That within the
       limits of physical and material life we can create just as the
       higher mind can create.

       The Kybalion by The Three Initiates - Teachings Of The Seven
       Hermetic Principles (Full Audiobook)
       --- Quote ---
       > The Kybalion by The Three Initiates
       > Since 1908, The Kybalion--written by the hand of "Three
       Initiates"--has itself generated debate and controversy. The
       teachings of the legendary sage Hermes Trismegistus Said to be
       an ancient Egyptian man-god who fathered astrology. alchemy and
       other magical arts, the mythical figure of Hermes have
       fascinated readers of occult literature for centuries. Magicians
       and gnostics in late antiquity identified Hermes Trismegistus as
       the author of many esoteric teachings, building the mystery of
       his lineage.

       Amazing Resonance Experiment!
       --- Quote ---
       > So this experiment is the Chladni plate experiment. I used a
       tone generator, a wave driver (speaker) and a metal plate
       attached to the speaker. First add sand to the plate then begin
       playing a tone. Certain frequencies vibrate the metal plate in
       such a way that it creates areas where there is no vibration.
       The sand "falls" into those areas, creating beautiful geometric
       patterns. As the frequency increases in pitch the patterns
       become more complex.
