The Ultimate Canon of Knowledge
Author: Alvin Boyd Kuhn
Alvin Boyd Kuhn was one of the most insightful and controversial writers to have ever lived. His works have been praised as some of the greatest written in the 20th Century, but other devout authorities have vilified him. The main thrust of his work is showing how the origins of religious thought and our connections to God are found in the ancient past more accurately than today. He asserts that our deeper consciousness has always been the key to understanding our place in the world. The great sages and teachers never intended for the Bible and other religious texts to be read in a literal manner. The real message was always transmitted in parable and allegory, found at deeper and more meaningful levels for those who could comprehend. We can, for example, observe the physical world without viewing the hidden mechanisms of nature. Understanding our place in the world requires a deeper look, beyond physical appearances. Our holy books were often written under this model, with great truths veiled within simple events. Modern religion, including the Bible, blocks this path by interpreting and teaching only what’s on the surface, resulting in what the author calls the “unconscionable stultification” of our ability to perceive and use divine truths. According to Kuhn, holy writ has no basis for interpretation along historical lines. We must discover our selves within the inner world, not the outer. This book, his final great work before passing away, attempts to clear a path for mankind toward divine truth.

Simon Magus: His Philosophy and Teachings ( Hardcover )
Author: G.R.S. Mead
Simon Magus was originally a Christian and disciple of John the Baptist, but broke off and formed the first Christian heresy, called Simonianism.
After learning magical medicine in Alexandria he was considered to have many magical skills. To this day, a skilled magician is called a “magus.” He also studied Greek philosophers, especially Heraclitus, and was the first Christian to attempt to bridge Greek philosophy and Christianity. If a bridge ever occurred, Church leaders feared they would weaken over time and not survive.
According to Mead, this was Simon’s great heresy – not his magic. This book shows Magus to have been a brilliant man who was breaking new ground, philosophically and spiritually.

Pistis Sophia ( Hardcover )
Author: G.R.S. Mead
The Gnostics consisted of a number of early Christian mystical sects. Their teachers were persecuted and documents destroyed because the Church desired a uniform set of beliefs to operate under. Only now have we begun to better appreciate them. Pistis Sophia was the most important Gnostic document until the discovery of The Nag Hammadi Library. This work remains an important milestone in Gnostic research. It is the story of how we, as spiritual beings, have fallen into the world of physical creation. The soul is asleep here, bogged down in physical surroundings, unaware of its true nature. The purpose of this gospel is to awaken us, and aid in the process of spiritual freedom. Hard & soft cover versions.
