Jane Caputi
THE FATES OF THE EARTH (#U100)
| | 30 min.
$29.95
| |
|
 Jane Caputi, professor of American Studies at the University of New Mexico, is author of Gossips, Gorgons and Crones. She notes that, over the centuries, powerful female, mythological figures have been superceded by patriarchal symbols. This also correlates with the rise of the warrior mentality. Today, as we face the problems that our nuclear technology has created, there is an awakening of the old feminine spiritual powers. Caputi maintains that this is necessary in order to reactivate our numbed psyches and bring balance to our culture.
Neil Freer
WHO WERE THE GODS? (#U117)
| | 30 min.
$29.95
| |
|
 Neil Freer is author of Breaking the Godspell, a book which delves into the implications of the radical theories of scholar Zecharia Sitchin (The Twelfth Planet, Stairway to Heaven, etc). Here he discusses the hypothesis that the gods of ancient cultures were actually from another planet that colonized the earth. Several lines of argumentation support this position. These include ancient objects that suggest the existence of high technology. Additionally, the ancient Sumerian clay tablet texts, when read literally, appear to go into great detail describing the science and technology of these beings.
Sogyal Rinpoche
THE TIBETAN VIEW OF DEATH (#U600)
| | 30 min.
$29.95
| |
|
 Sogyal Rinpoche, author of The Tibetan Book of Living and Dying, discusses the Tibetan view of mind as a clear space encompassing the entire universe. He describes how the experience of deep compassion is cultivated in Tibetan Buddhism. Then he presents the Tibetan view of rebirth and the afterlife, maintaining that this understanding stems from the experience of meditation masters.
Stan Tenen
THE ORIGIN OF ANCIENT ALPHABETS (#U777)
| | 30 min.
$29.95
| |
|
Stan Tenen is the director of the Meru Foundation. Here he suggests that the ancient alphabets embody a system of knowledge that is self-referential and not inconsistent with modern thinking in theoretical physics and general systems theory. He claims to have discovered the sacred spiral shape through which one can project all of the letters of the Hebrew alphabet, and with modifications, the Greek and Arabic alphabets. |
