• Cataclysm! 9500 BC By David Lewis
  In recent prehistory, possibly as late as 9,500 B.C. (the date ascribed by Plato to the sinking of Atlantis), a profoundly traumatic phenomenon plagued the earth. This event, the result of a distant cosmic explosion, caused severe volcanic eruptions, massive earthquakes, catastrophic flooding, and the upheaval of the world's mountain ranges. The earth's axis may have tilted, or its crust been violently displaced. Continents rose and sank. Mass extinctions of plants and animals followed, and a period of eerie global darkness.
• Edgar Cayce On Atlantis By Len Kasten
  Skeptics, archaeologists, geologists, and anthropologists may rant and rave, but the myth of Atlantis endures. In every generation, someone emerges to champion the cause and to embroider the story. None of this disputation, though, might be happening if it hadn't been for one very critical and unfortunate event. The burning of the Great Library of Alexandria was a stunning blow to the advancement of knowledge. If any single event could be said to have ushered in the Dark Ages, it was the destruction of the Great Library, and the decimation of Alexandria as a world repository of learning and enlightenment. At its height, around 200 A.D., the library is said to have contained about 700,000 scrolls and codices.
• From The Mummy's Curse To Threatening Plagues By Cynthia Gage
  Dr. Harry Rudolph Alsleben has had a magnificent obsession for at least 38 of his 64 years. Trained in medical science, theology and Egyptology, he has conducted extensive investigations into healing and revitalization techniques used by ancient Sumerian, Egyptian and Hebrew cultures. A physician, osteopath and Surgeon, he has contributed more than 30 diagnostic and therapeutic programs to the field of medicine, and has spent the last 25 years creating the specialty of preventive medicine. He has had six clinics in five states and three hospitals in foreign countries, and has treated more than 65,000 patients for chronic degenerative diseases such as cancer, hardening of the arteries, arthritis, multiple sclerosis, candida and advanced aging. His book, How to Survive The New Health Catastrophes, is now a classic in the field and has not needed revisions or corrections since he wrote it in 1973. With his Molecular Energy Research Team, he is preparing a preventive and corrective therapy for the treatment of cancer and AIDS. The initial objective, says Alsleben, was to establish methods of destroying microbes and viruses in the human body through the mechanism of molecular resonance. Such a therapy is based on enhancement of the immune system and is a radical departure from the conventional viewpoint. What we're essentially doing, says Alsleben, is treating AIDS by not treating AIDS.
• Megalithic England By J. Douglas kenyon
  Among those who have argued in their writings that there once was a great and shining, albeit forgotten to history, fountainhead of civilization whose ghosts even now continue to haunt us, few have been more eloquent than John Michell. The author of over a score of works on ancient mysteries, sacred geometry, UFOs, unexplained phenomena and the like, Michell is familiar to American readers primarily through his visionary classic The View Over Atlantis (originally published by Thames and Hudson in Great Britain in 1969 and a few years later in the U.S. by Ballantine). The Earth Spirit, Michell's profusely illustrated essays on the ways, shrines and mysteries of the subtle animating forces of the planet and their near universal celebration since the dawn of time was published in the U.S. in '89. A revised and rewritten version of his first book, re-titled The New View Over Atlantis, was published here in 1995.
• Mufon Launches Study Of The UFO Abduction Experience By Marcia Jedd
  The woman describes floating through her bedroom wall, as if levitating into a beam of blue light. She recollects only portions of her experience later while under hypnosis: being brought onto a small ship by short gray beings. One of the intruders appears to direct the team of abductors. Once led onto the craft, a taller being leads an examination where intricate procedures are performed. Nearby, she senses a female being who uses gestures to comfort her. She sees no other humans present.
• The Code Of The Ancients By Carl Munck
  An essay on archaeocryptography - the science of finding the obvious correlations made by the ancients
• The Coral Castle Mystery By Christopher Dunn
  While the cutting techniques of the ancient pyramid builders have been a continuing topic for debate, they have not received the same attention and controversy as the proposed methods that were used to lift and transport huge cyclopean blocks of stone. While Egyptologists and orthodox believers in primitive methods argue that the huge blocks were moved and put into place using only man power, experts in moving heavy weights using modern cranes throw doubt on the subject.
• The Illusions Of Perception By P.M.H. Atwater, Lh.D.
  What determines real or unreal? Lawrence LeShan, in his classic Alternate Realities: The Search for the Full Human Being, writes: A reality is real to you when you act in terms of it. Anything else is just talk. It is a valid reality when, using it, you can accomplish the goals acceptable to it. Common sense rules every reality and ultimately decides on its validity. LeShan's statement reflects a discovery made by a team of scientists who were experimenting with babies. They found that the only time babies were startled was when something happened to them that defied common sense. This discovery established that a certain level of perceptual prejudice is part of our genetic predisposition, a predisposition reinforced by our various faculties and our brain. We depend on life being what we think it is, and we accept the bias of that perception. Throughout day-to-day existence, we recognize only what we are prepared in advance to see.
• The Threshold Of Change By Laura Lee
  The dance between old and new, rigid and fluid, expansion and contraction is a fascinating one to watch, especially as it relates to the marketplace of ideas. And I have a ringside seat in the host's chair of a radio talk show devoted to the exploration of new and cutting edge research.
• Tom Bearden Fights For Revolutionary Science By William P. Eigles
  Every revolution has its leading theorists, individuals who attempt to construct a logical, coherent formulation of new principles and concepts to rationalize and explain the occurrence of radical, paradigm-upsetting events or developments. Even if not there at the beginning of such seminal milestones, such individuals are quickly spawned in the aftermath, acting as compelling champions for the activists who are making the history. In the case of the revolution beginning to emerge more publicly in the field of alternative energy sources and technology, retired Army lieutenant colonel Thomas Bearden may soon be recognized as one of a small cadre of scientists and engineers who were just such credible boosters, convinced of and actively supportive of alternate energy realities early on.

• Astrology: Plato And The Stars By Kathie Garcia
  Behold, ye are gods! Yes, that's fine and good, but tell me, when's a good time to buy a new car? Well, probably when Mars (cars) trines Jupiter (opportunity) but you may be inclined to overspend! John Anthony West in A Case for Astrology laments that astrology, in truth a Sacred Science, has become separated from its metaphysical origins and all too often unfortunately resembles the typical Chaldean soothsayer of old who set up shop in the bustling Agora marketplace and who, for a fee, could read your fortune from the stars. Whatever happened to the Harmony of the Spheres, Plato's majestic vision of the Cosmos that depicts the Physical Universe as impregnated by Soul (Spirit), each planet playing its part in a Celestial Symphony echoed perfectly in Earth's greatest manifest creature, man?
