The Rise & Fall of Atlantis: And the Mysterious Origins of Human Civilization

GORDON, J.S.

<p>John Holman explains that the perennial philosophy - a universal set of truths and values common to all cultures and religions - can be found at the heart of all the great schools of thought and writings of the greatest philosophers, no matter how apparently diverse the presentation of their perceived truths. This accessible yet thought-provoking book helps us understand that the nature of reality and our potential for transcendence are at the core of all belief systems. Revolutionizing the debate on the perennial philosophy and elucidating a number of enigmatic esoteric topics, The Return of the Perennial Philosophy provides a crucial and rewarding spiritual context for modern times.</p>

The next dozen years are set to be the most momentous of our lives. As humanity stands at the crossroads between a continued descent into dark materialism and the spiritual path back to the light, a great cosmic event is about to force this elemental choice. This astonishing illustrated astrological analysis shows that the present alignment of Uranus and Pluto with the Earth has set in motion a powerful Planet-Wave that will peak in 2012, heralding a period in which we face a unique opportunity to forge our destinies. Drawing a compelling analogy with quantum physics, this theory sets out the ways in which we can ride the wave by looking back into history at similar moments from the past.
