The contents of this Book are not fables, but real experiments which I have seen, touched, and handled, as an adept will easily conclude from these lines. I have written more plainly about this Art than any of my predecessors; sometimes I have found myself on the very verge of breaking my vow, and once or twice had to lay down my pen for a season; but I could not resist the inward prompting of God, which impelled me to persevere in the most loving course, who alone knows the heart, and to whom only be glory for ever.
From Sigmund Freud's International Journal of Psycho-Analysis, the psychological study of the meaning and reasons for anal-erotic traits and behavior.
Writing at the time of the destruction of Jerusalem in 70 ad, Baruch converses directly with God in a series of visions. The fall of Jerusalem is given as part of a larger end-of-the-world scenario. Baruch then receives prophecy: periods of light and darkness shall come, symbolized by rains bright and black, corresponding to alternating times when humanity lives in peace and harmony, then dark periods when evil reigns. Of particular note is the apocalypse when the Messiah appears again on earth. This alternate tale of the apocalypse inspires hope evil is punished, condemned to hell and cast off the earth, while those - left behind - are actually the righteous who will enjoy, literally, heaven on earth. Obviously a differing view from the currently in-vogue idea of 'rapture.'

No doubt the Beatles need no introduction, but perhaps Vedic astrology does. It is an ancient system of astrology which was handed down to humanity from the demigod civilization of celestial beings who are described in the Vedic literature, such as the Puranas. The Puranas describe that these celestial beings were not only responsible for generating humanity itself on our planet, but for fostering the human race by means of knowledge such as the ancient medicinal science, ayurveda; the astrological science; spiritual knowledge; and even knowledge in relation to subtle technologies and mysticism, such as levitation and vimanas-UFOs.
One of the great sci-fi novels by Edgar Rice Burroughs. Get a chair, set the lamp, lean back, and fly into the great unknown, as the world once did before television came to destroy the fertile field of human imagination. The interest in education, the arts and sciences, were once found in fiction novels, written with a purpose.
A Study Aid for the English Reader of the Bhagavad Gita
Though the topics and themes are much the same as American erotica, the British use of English adds a luster to the stories, missing from the vulgar used in America. A young Emily is forced to marry the foppish son of a wealthy landowner to supposedly save her parents from the poorhouse. Caroline is the story of an extraordinary woman - beautiful, strong and mischievous. Putting her looks and wit to good use, the young Caroline seduces her friend Harry and his sister Adelaide. Once married to Harry, and living comfortably with him and Adelaide, Caroline enlarges and enlivens their menage by creating an "academy" for young - and not so young - women requiring in initiation into the rites of love...
It is ever the miracle within the human soul that religion, as distinct from secular human physical science, must cultivate and place in living control of life, if human life is to be harmoniously related to the world, to the body, to the orderly course of evolutionary progress.
