The Water Of Life: A Treatise on Urine Therapy
by John W ArmstrongIn this revolutionary treatise, J W Armstrong puts the compelling case that all diseases (except those caused by traumatism or structural disorders) can be cured by one simple means: urine therapy. The therapy is an entirely natural treatment, a drugless system of healing that treats the body as a whole. Moreover, the only ingredient needed is a substance manufactured in the body itself, rich in mineral salts, hormones and other vital substances, namely human urine. It may seem strange to take back into the body something that the body is apparently discarding. Yet the theory is similar to the natural practice of organic composting. Fallen leaves, when dug back into the soil, provide valuable mineral salts to nourish new plant life. The same principle holds true for the human body.

Given the humble, economic conditions of the blacks in America, an inexpensive, yet highly nutritional diet was given to them by Elijah Muhammad.

This is the second of two books written with this simple, yet revolutionary way of eating.
Journey To Ixtlan: The Lessons Of Don Juan
by Carlos CastanedaOriginally drawn to Yaqui Indian spiritual leader don Juan Matus for his knowledge of psychotropic plants, bestselling author Carlos Castaneda immersed himself in the sorcerer's magical world. Ten years after his first encounter with the shaman, Castaneda examines his field notes and comes to understand what don Juan knew all along--psychotropic plants are merely a means to understanding alternative realities that one cannot fully embrace on one's own. Journey to Ixtlan introduces these clear new ideas--omitted from Castaneda's classic volumes The Teachings of Don Juan and A Separate Reality--to the reader for the first time. Castaneda explores, as he comes to experience it himself, his own final voyage into the teachings of don Juan, and shares with us what it is like to truly "stop the world" and perceive reality on his own terms.

Me? Obey Him?
by Elizabeth Rice HandfordFrom the book: Through centuries in churches holding the historic Christian faith, in marriage ceremonies the wife has promised "to love, honor and obey" her husband. Up until about fifty years ago the men did the voting for the family and his vote was supposed to represent his wife's position as well as his own. In New Testament churches a woman was not allowed to be a pastor or teach men or usurp authority over men. And that leads to the serious question. Should a wife obey even her unsaved husband? Should she obey in everything? Here Mrs. Handford deals with remarkable clarity and scriptural evidence with this question. In her introduction she says: "Some of the ideas in these pages may be absolutely new to you, and foreign to everything you have ever believed. Hopefully, you will find them absolutely faithful to the Scriptures, and that they will lead to holy and happy living. Because this is an area fraught with opinion and prejudice, you'll need to ask the Lord to open your heart and mind to the truth. Ask Him to show you exactly what He requires. Then, if I touch a place of need in your life, you will recognize it, and seek cleansing for it. "John 7:17 says, 'If an

Now That You've Got Me Here, What Are We Going to Do?
by Ruth DicksonThe seminal sex guide for non-wedded bliss from the author of Married Men Make the Best Lovers and Marriage Is a Bad Habit. Having made a success and a series of cogent points about the complexities of Mistress-hood in her first book, Married Men Make the Best Lovers, Ruth Dickson gets down to basics and tells us a lot more than the obvious about the ins and outs of lovemaking. With her classic, breezy, entertaining style, she instructs the uninformed and enlightens the already educated with a bit of science and a lot of blunt truth about the hows, whys and special tricks of sex for fun, in or out of wedlock. The fact that she firmly believes that unwed sex-play is more fun than the married variety doesn&’t detract from her wisdom and her expertise. From &“The Nitty Gritty&” (both his and hers) to &“The Other Side of the Bed&” and from the beginning explanation of &“Why Are We Doing This?&” to the grand summation of &“What Is Sex, Really?&” Dickson gives an advanced course in the art of love and the pleasures of sex in all its permutations. One of the first of many sexual instruction guides that followed in its wake, Now That You&’ve Got Me Here, What Are We Going to Do? was the frontrunner of the genre, dispensing basic information and much more in this amusing, highly readable work. Readers of either sex will be the richer and the better informed for taking an opportunity to learn at the feet (and other areas) of a Master. Or, more accurately, Mistress.
Radionics & The Subtle Anatomy Of Man
by David V TansleyRadionics is defined as a method of diagnosis and therapy which is primarily concerned with the utilization of subtle force fields and energies, for the purpose of investigating and combating the causes of disease which ravage humanity and the other kingdoms of nature. But in examining the history and development of radionics from the pioneering work of Dr Albert Abrams and Ruth Drown to the latest experimental work at the de la Warr Laboratories, David Tansley discovered a curious paradox. In literature on the subject, and in the rate books which provide the very core of radionic therapeutic measures, there are plenty of references to man's physical organic systems, but little regarding the probability of underlying force fields which might govern and determine the health of the physical form.This book represents an informed endeavour to redress the balance by providing a simple yet practical outline of the subtle anatomy of man. The theory is not new: Abrams diagnosed at a distance, and Drown treated absent patients. David Tansley believes that the time is ripe for radionics to bear witness to an energy field of a more subtle nature: that is, in fact, its innate purpose.

A River Through My Desert
by Penny EllisHow do we find our way out of our fears and terrors? Also, labels placed on us and self-destructive habits? How do we turn our face like a 'flint' towards our God when we can't even face ourselves? Our God is listening and he can bring us out of what we see as impossible to change. If we talk to him, he hears us. There is a river that runs directly under the throne of God and we can untangle our lives in it. These chapters are examples that we don't have to say too much or use just one prayer style as God hears our hearts cry and the holy spirit interprets our words so they are 'in tune' and that is the symphony God hears. I hope this book helps you regain a resurrected skip in your step in this life and become who you were meant to be all along. This book has taken 20 years to write, it is a life journey to get rid of useless destructive habits. My desert was uprooted, barren and dry. Take the first great strides out of the desert you are in. Whatever is left can grow again and change the landscape. Let the river flood your desert.

Cloud-hidden, Whereabouts Unknown: A Mountain Journal
by Alan W. WattsThese ruminations, assembled in the form of a journal and here published in paperback for the first time, were written at Alan Watts' retreat in the foothills of Mount Tamalpais, California. Many current themes are discussed, including meditation, nature, established religion, race relations, karma and reincarnation, astrology and tantric yoga, and the nature of ecstasy, but the underlying motif is the art of feeling out and following the watercourse way of nature, known in Chinese as the Tao. Watts suggests a way of contemplative meditation in which we temporarily stop naming and classifying all that we experience, and simply feel it as it is.From the Paperback edition.
