A Critical Assessment of Islam in the Modern WorldIn his seminal work, "Islam at the Crossroads," Muhammad Asad offers a profound and insightful examination of the challenges and opportunities facing Islam in the modern world. Asad, a convert to Islam himself, provides a unique perspective on the religion, drawing from his deep understanding of both Western and Islamic thought.Asad argues that Islam is at a crossroads, facing a choice between embracing its core values of justice, equality, and compassion or succumbing to the allure of materialism and individualism. He contends that the future of Islam depends on its ability to adapt to the changing world without compromising its fundamental principles.Asad's critique of the modern Islamic world is both incisive and respectful. He identifies a number of shortcomings, including the rise of sectarianism, the stifling of intellectual inquiry, and the misinterpretation of Islamic teachings to justify violence and oppression. However, Asad also maintains a deep faith in the potential of Islam to provide a positive and transformative vision for the future."Islam at the Crossroads" is a challenging and thought-provoking work that is essential reading for anyone interested in understanding the future of Islam. Asad's insights are as relevant today as they were when the book was first published in 1934.Asad's work has been praised by scholars and laypeople alike for its honesty, insight, and profound understanding of Islam.

The Treasured Guide to Spiritual Growth and EnlightenmentThe Secret of the Golden Flower is an ancient Chinese text, passed on for centuries, in which Taoist mystics reveal the path to true enlightenment. The first written version was believed to have originated with Lü Dongbin, a legendary scholar, poet, and spiritual master. This remarkable and important work, first published in the United States in 1931, is Cary F. Baynes's elegant English translation of sinologist Richard Wilhelm's 1929 German translation of the original Taoist texts. This edition includes insightful philosophical commentary by psychologist Carl Jung which helps explain the metaphysical aspects of the text, providing valuable insights for westerners.In the text, symbols for light represented awareness, which is normally directed outward toward externals. The method of redirecting one's consciousness inward towards the self through a straightforward form of silent meditation and breathing was known as "turning the light around." Through this process of channeling energy beyond the limits of the discriminating intellect, one's psyche-indeed, one's fundamental being-can gradually open and blossom into an awakening of the mind and spirit. The result can be metaphorically pictured as a bright "golden flower" mandala, representing the rewarding end goal of a personal alchemy of inner transformation. The simple method described has been called "Zen with details." Like a practical workbook for achieving enlightenment, this clearly written meditation manual explores foundational techniques to experience elevated states of consciousness. It is nothing less than a spiritual seeker's road map to discovering the secret to peace of mind. This book is also available from Churchill & Dunn in paperback (ISBN 1648374085 ).

1001 true magic techniques for achieving your heart's desire... magic that should bring you new health, new happiness, new prosperity. For Cyclomancy, as Mr. Young states, clearly proves that magic does exist and shows you how - without so much as lifting a finger - incredible results may be achieved. To give you just a brief sample, Mr. Young states that this book shows how you may... - Move objects without touching them; - Hear a conversation going on anywhere, any time; - Travel any place with your Astral Body and gain first-hand information unobtainable by any other means; - Roll back your age and find yourself young again; - Make others see only what you tell them they see; - Materialize objects out of thin air. Mr. Young points out that Cyclomancy (another name for White Magic) is simply the use of certain hidden powers that we all possess. Powers given to us long before books were invented. Forgotten powers. For example, like most people you probably don't remember how to move objects without touching them. But you possess the power to do it. Powers like X Ray Vision, Astral Projection. Hypnotic Mental Attraction and Power Hearing, to name just a few. And yet these magic powers are not difficult to use at all. On the contrary, they require no manual dexterity, no expensive equipment of any time. Just read the instructions and do the exercises, says Mr. Young, and you should awaken astonishing powers you never dreamed possible. What kinds of Powers. Powers like these: The power to know what people look like before you even see them; The power to reduce and stay slim without starvation; The Power to slow down or halt the aging process so that you may actually live many years longer; The power to weaken a dangerously defiant person with the Psychic Harpoon; The power to compel someone who ignores you romantically to notice you with keen interest; The power to send and receive messages through space - across a room, a city, or a continent - to anyone, anytime.

Inscribed upon the cross when Jesus was crucified were the Latin words "Jesus Nazarenus Rex Iudeorum." Pontius Pilate was the author of that famous inscription. Latin was Pontius Pilate's mother tongue. Authorities competent to translate and pass upon the correct translation into English agree that it is "Jesus the Nazarene Ruler of the Judean." There is no disagreement among them of that. The word 'JEW' did not occur anywhere in the English Language until the 18th Century. Jesus referred to himself as a Judean. The modern day 'Jews' were historically Khazars or Chazars, a Mongolian Nordic tribe who roamed northern Europe.This book is a copy of a letter addressed to Dr. David Goldstein LL.D., of Boston Massachusetts by its author Benjamin H. Freedman on October 10, 1954. It is a warning to America from a Jewish defector.
