To those not familiar with the subject it may be stated that the bulk of its contents is derived from the old Buddhist canon. Many passages, and indeed the most important ones, are literally copied in translations from the original texts. Some are rendered rather freely in order to make them intelligible to the present generation; others have been rearranged; and still others are abbreviated.
A careful perusal of this first English translation of the primitive text of "Job," "Koheleth," and the "Sayings of Agur" will, I doubt not, satisfy the most orthodox reader that I am fully warranted in characterising their authors as Sceptics. The epithet, I confess, may prove distasteful to many, but the truth, I trust, will be welcome to all.
The mediaeval worship of the generative powers, represented by the generative organs, was derived from two distinct sources. In the first place, Rome invariably carried into the provinces she had conquered her own institutions and forms of worship, and established them permanently.
The brief excursus on the word "Hell" contained in this volume, aims to treat the subject in a popular style, and at the same time to present all the important facts, so fully and comprehensively that any reader can obtain in a few pages a birds-eye-view of "The Bible Hell."
To The Alleged Supernatural Evidences Of Christianity - There are some believers, who place little confidence in the evidence of the miracles said to have been performed by Jesus, who yet say that the establishment of such a religion as his, by such means as were employed after his death, is of itself a convincing miracle. They say it is incredible that the preachers of a religious system, the most prominent doctrine of which was the Son of God, its founder, was slain, should have met with such success, unless God had miraculously aided them.
The origin of evil is clearly and concisely explained. It substantiates the truths of Christianity, Christian Science and all other religions and philosophies. It also shows how man evolves from the animal and becomes not man, child of God, until endowed with a soul.
The sacred wisdom of the priests of ancient Egypt and the experiences of the soul after death: one of the most important books in history. Includes full hieroglyphic text along with a transliteration of sounds, word-for-word translation; a separate smooth translation.
TGS Publishing reprints this facsimile edition in two volumes, which includes the 220+ page digest-index, added years later to Albert Pike's manuscript. TGS makes no apology for the manuscript pages having stray dots, occasional lines, or varying quality. These were scanned pages from a very old book printed on India paper (tissue thin). Great care was taken not to destroy or damage the original in bringing this book back in print.

This rare, and not commonly known book or bible was a channeled set of writings to a Dentist in the 1800's, named Dr. John Ballou Newbrough. It was first published in 1885. The amazing part of this manuscript of channelings, are the revelations of scientific ideas, that were only to become facts when later discovered with modern science and technology.
For centuries, the politically and geographically isolated mountain kingdom of Tibet had been an enigma to Westerners. But in the dawn of the 20th century, its seclusion ended when British troops based in India were ordered to enter the Mystical Land of the Grand Lama. Heading an expedition which crossed the Tibetan border in July of 1903 was Col. Francis Younghusband, a veteran army officer and explorer. His assignment: to negotiate trade and border issues with the country's highest authorities.
The historical, doctrinal, ritual, and folk aspects of Lamaism are surveyed extensively in this source book, originally published in 1895. Waddell was an almost unique authority on hidden Tibet. Stationed for years with the Indian Army at Darjeeling, just over the border from Tibet (which Europeans were forbidden to enter), he systematically studied the language and culture of Tibet with the most authoritative lamaistic scholars. Several times he risked his life by entering Tibet in disguise.
Fragments of some lost verses (sayings) of Jesus, from a Greek papyri discovered in Libya in 1897, at the lost city of Oxyrhynchite.
