The well-known and acclaimed work of Dr. Joseph Lumpkin has been enlarged to include new research on the Books of Enoch, Fallen Angels, the Watchers, and the Nephilim. After presenting extensive historical backgrounds and brilliant translations of The First, Second, and Third Books of Enoch, Lumpkin takes time to piece together a historical narrative of Fallen Angels, the Watcher, and the Nephilim, using his extensive knowledge of ancient texts.

Before Jiddu Krishnamurti declared that “truth is a pathless land,” an international spiritual movement had spent years preparing him to become its World Teacher. No Throne for Truth: J. Krishnamurti Before the Pathless Land brings together four early works from 1910-1928, allowing the listener to hear a remarkable transformation unfold. These writings do more than preserve an early philosophy; placed together, they reveal its formation. We first encounter the young disciple speaking from within the spiritual structure that shaped him. As the years pass, the emphasis begins to change.

The Pool of Wisdom, originally published in 1928, preserves Krishnamurti at that decisive threshold. Its talks and addresses include The Pool of Wisdom, Who Brings the Truth, By What Authority, and three poems, together with material connected to the Order of the Star. Here Krishnamurti still speaks the language of the World Teacher, the Beloved, Maitreya, spiritual evolution, karma, liberation, and the Masters —yet he is already questioning the authority, labels, organizations, and inherited forms surrounding them. These pages provide a rare document of transition.

Before J. Krishnamurti became one of the twentieth century’s most influential critics of spiritual authority, he was known to the world as Alcyone—the young disciple believed by many Theosophists to be the future vehicle of a coming World Teacher. First published in 1910, At the Feet of the Master presents a concise path of spiritual preparation built around four qualities: discrimination, desirelessness, good conduct, and love. Written in direct, accessible language, it calls the student toward self-discipline, compassion, clarity, and service.

The Book of the Law (Liber AL vel Legis) is one of the most influential and controversial spiritual texts of the modern era. First received in Cairo in 1904, it has shaped movements, inspired artists, unsettled institutions, and resisted explanation for more than a century. This edition presents the text without commentary. The core work appears here exactly as transmitted, without annotation, interpretation, or doctrinal guidance. No effort is made to explain the verses or resolve their meaning. The text stands alone.

The Space-Born is a rare poetic work by Manly P. Hall, presented here as a complete cycle of meditative poems reflecting on human consciousness and its relationship to the infinite. Best known for works such as The Secret Teachings of All Ages and Initiates of the Flame, Hall adopts a quieter and more interior voice in this volume. These poems do not teach through argument or exposition, but through image, rhythm, and reflective cadence. Together, they form a contemplative sequence concerned with inner awakening, moral responsibility, and the meeting point between spirit and lived experience.

In this volume, we have attempted to gather the most interesting and influential Gospels and Apocalypses attributed to the Apostles, in the hope that these books may reveal to the listener something hitherto unknown.

Follow author Joseph Lumpkin in his dive into Gnosticism. As a follow-up to his book "Tour of Gnosticism," where gnostic cosmology is explored in conjunction with mainstream Christendom, Lumpkin has released this jaw-dropping volume of influential Gnostic texts. Lumpkin takes it a step further by coupling the text with lessons on common themes in Gnosticism, historical context for the texts, and expert commentary exploring the differences in the largest gnostic sects.

In the winter of 1886-87, a French archaeological team headed by M. Grébant was digging in Akhmîm in Upper Egypt. The team was excavating part of the grounds of an ancient monastery, where monks, priests, bishops, and holy men were interred.

The Kybalion, published in 1908 under the mysterious name The Three Initiates, presents itself as a study of Hermetic philosophy: a compact system of principles said to govern mind, matter, motion, causation, polarity, rhythm, and the relationship between the visible and invisible worlds.

First published in 1928, Manly P. Hall’s The Secret Teachings of All Ages stands as one of the most comprehensive studies of symbolic philosophy ever produced. Written while Hall was still in his early twenties and largely self-educated, the work reflects a remarkable synthesis of sources and traditions that would later earn him recognition as an honorary 33rd-degree Freemason. This audiobook presents a complete modern rendering of that work, prepared for sustained listening and careful study.

The Apocryphon, or "Secrets" of John forms the cornerstone of Gnostic mythology and cosmology. In this text we are introduced to the major entities of creation and lordship. We learn how the universe, including earth and man, came into being. The origin of evil, the creator god, and the material world are explained in detail. The story seems to be a mixture of various belief systems, including those of Plato, who seems to have borrowed freely from the format of Greek mythology, and Christianity. The story is loosely based on Genesis chapters one through 13 as a timeline.

No discovery since the Dead Sea Scrolls has rocked the Christian world like that of the newly translated Gospel of Judas. Imagine Judas, the man all of Christendom has hated for 2,000 years, now portrayed as the chosen one, the martyr, the scapegoat, and the man instructed and appointed by Jesus himself to orchestrate and carry out the greatest treachery of all time. Come with us as we explore the Gospel of Judas. We will attempt to fill the gaps in the text and the theology.

Aradia remains one of the most influential and mysterious works ever written on la vecchia religione, the Old Religion of pre-Christian Italy. In this seminal text, folklorist Charles Godfrey Leland preserves the mythic narrative, ritual language, and liturgical practices of a tradition in which Diana is the primordial Goddess and Aradia (Herodias) is her incarnate daughter, teacher, and liberator. Witchcraft here is not superstition but a sacred inheritance, carried by the marginalized and kept alive through an unbroken thread of devotion.

The Collected Works of Florence Scovel Shinn brings together, in a single powerful volume, the three spiritual masterpieces that made Shinn one of the most beloved metaphysical teachers of the 20th century. These works—The Game of Life and How to Play It, Your Word Is Your Wand, and The Secret Door to Success—have transformed the lives of millions, offering timeless principles of manifestation, faith, and divine alignment.

In time the Piby shall contain all worthy prophecies and inspirations endowed by God upon the sons and daughters of Ethiopia, but no article shall be permitted to enter the Piby save that which is in accordance with the gospel of the 20th century, preached by his holiness, Shepherd Athlyi, apostle Marcus Garvey and colleague; the three apostles anointed and sent forth by the Almighty God to lay the foundation of industry, liberty and justice unto the generations of Ethiopia that they prove themselves a power among the nations and in the glory of their God.

To the discerning few were revealed the esoteric, or spiritual, teachings, while the unqualified received only the literal, or exoteric, interpretations. In order to make simple the great truths of nature and the abstract principles of natural law, the vital forces of the universe were personified, becoming the gods and goddesses of the ancient mythologies. While the ignorant multitudes brought their offerings to the altars of Priapus and Pan, the wise recognized in these marble statues only symbolic concretions of great abstract truths.

The Golden Verses of Pythagoras stand among the most enduring expressions of ancient Hellenic moral and spiritual philosophy.
