The Art of Worldly Wisdom
Part life-coach, part Machiavelli, part Yoda, Balthasar Gracian [1601-1658], a Jesuit priest, wrote this collection of pithy sayings four centuries ago. Gracian speaks to the twenty-first century as well as the seventeenth. It's only a matter of time before someone markets Gracian's life advice to busy executives, like Sun Tzu or the Book of Five Rings (if it hasn't been already). In the meantime, Gracian can be our little secret.

The House of Hidden Places
There were many speculative attempts to explain the internal architecture of the Great Pyramid of Giza in the 19th century. Most of them were composed with an eye to Christian dispensational prophecies. Adams, on the other hand, thought that the blueprint for the Great Pyramid was the recently translated Egyptian Book of the Dead, a journey of the soul through the afterlife.

The Mahatma Letters
It is well known, among students of Theosophy and Occultism, that the philosophical doctrines and ethics which were given to the world through the Theosophical Society during the 16 years immediately following its foundation in 1875, emanated from certain Eastern Teachers; Master M, and Master K.H.

The Secret Doctrine III
Secret Doctrine Volumes I and II are the magnum opus of H.P. Blavatsky, founder of theosophy and enigmatic teacher of the Secret Wisdom. Volume III is her collected writings and thoughts after her death. Some of the writings are contributed to Annie Besant and others so the book remains as controversial as thought provoking.

The Science of Getting Rich
Little is known about Wattles' life. He was born in the USA shortly before the civil war, and experienced much failure in his earlier years. He practiced the technique of creative visualisation and as his daughter Florence relates, "He wrote almost constantly. It was then that he formed his mental picture. He himself "tested" this out on himself, as he lived most of his life in poverty, but in his later years he became rich.

Zanoni
Zanoni is one of two remaining initaites from an ancient Chaldean brotherhood. Both Zanoni and Mejnour have lived for centuries as they have wrought the secrets of eternal life from nature. The first 60 pages give few clues to the fascinating mysteries revealed later in the book. It takes a little time to get used to the Victorian style. The book is very descriptive and many who have read it find it wordy.

In the Life of Apollonius, Philostratus tells the story of Apollonius of Tyana. Vol 1. Apollonius of Tyana Vol. 2.

During one of his journeys he was visiting Leh, the capital of Ladak, near where the Buddhist convent Himis stands.

Here he saw a scroll that described a man from the west whose description was uncanny and resembled Jesus of Nazareth.

The Master Key
This book was banned by the Church in 1933 and has been hidden away for seventy years! Rumor has it that while he was attending Harvard University, Bill Gates discovered and read The Master Key System by Charles F. Haanel. It was this book that inspired Bill Gates to drop out of the University and pursue his dream of "a computer on every desktop." You probably know the results. . .

RÂMAKRISHNA HIS LIFE AND SAYINGS
"Faith is the only clue to get to God" - Ramakrishna (1833-86), was a Bengali Hindu sage. Although theoretically a high-caste Brahamin by birth, he came from a poor, low-caste village and had little or no education.

Creative Mind and Success
This little classic of New Thought is very similar to its successor, Think and Grow Rich, optimistic, self-empowering, and confident in its outlook

With the Adepts
THE following account of a psychic experience has been gathered from notes handed to me by a friend, a writer of considerable repute. Whether the adventures told therein are to be regarded as a dream, or an actual experience on the astral plane, I must leave to the reader to judge.

Om -- The Secret of Ahbor Valley
The central image of the book - the magical Ahbor jade stone - It is hoped that for those who are familiar with the story, this image will bring to life the mystery of the Ahbor jade. And in turn, perhaps it will act as a prompt for those unacquainted with Mundy's masterpiece to read this wondrous novel and in effect take a mystical trek to Tibet where they, too, will learn "the secret of Ahbor Valley."

The goal of this book, according to the author, is to place the revelations of the Ancient Wisdom regarding man's life on this planet, which H.P. Blavatsky brought to the Western world. To sort out from the many related facts which enrich Blavatsky's magnum opus THE SECRET DOCTRINE and the STANZAS OF DZYAN.

Indian Fairy Tales
FROM the extreme West of the Indo-European world, we go this year to the extreme East. From the soft rain and green turf of Gaeldom, we seek the garish sun and arid soil of the Hindoo. In the Land of Ire, the belief in fairies, gnomes, ogres and monsters is all but dead; in the Land of Ind it still flourishes in all the vigour of animism.
