Stephenson (Grand Prize Winner Of Barnes & Noble Independent Thinker'S Essay Contest) Product Description Wisdom Of The West, Pathways To Selfrealization Has Been Discontinued By The Publisher.

In Order To Improve And Expand Upon The Information This Book Contained, Much Of Its Content Has Been Updated And Will Appear In Forthcoming Books. The Reader Will Be Captivated By The New Presentation Of The Esoteric Topics From Wisdom Of The West That Will Be Available In Our New Publications, And We Recommend That You Wait For The Release Of Our New Titles Rather Than Relying Upon Used Copies Of The Old Title. From The Author I Wrote Wisdom Of The West Several Years Ago, And Though I Had Much Experience In Western Occult Philosophy And Practice At That Time, My Ongoing Experiences Have Greatly Changed My Methods. I Have Undertaken A New Project With Enlightened Life Publishing Which Will See The Publication Of A Series Of New Books Over The Next Two Years. For Ten Years, I Have Taught A Unique Blend Of Eastern And Western Occultism And Mysticism To Members Of The Mystery School, Heart Of The Rose Through Corresondence Courses. All Of This Exclusive Material Is Now Being Converted Into Book Form In Order To Make The Information Available To Everyone.

Outside Of The Ancient Temples Of The Western World Were Inscribed The Words, 'Man, Know Thyself.' The Wisdom Path Of The West Is Truly The Path Of Selfknowledge. It Is In Knowing Who We Really Are That We Ultimately Make The Full Realization Of Our Divinity. The Framework Of Qabalah, Sacred Tarot, And The Tree Of Life Give Limitless Understanding Of The Powers And Potencies Of The Universe. Qabalah Is An Esoteric Psychology Of Selftransformation, More Powerful Than We Realize When We First Begin To Study And Practice. The Truth Of The Teachings Is Unifying. When People Live From That One Truth They Become Liberated. As They
