Among all the astonishing documents accidentally—or fatefully—unearthed in 1945 near the desert village of Nag Hammadi in Upper Egypt, the Gospel of Thomas has made the greatest impact on our understanding of Christianity.

Thus we awaken to absolute Reality, right in the heart of the ordinary life. This book is a companion guide to the video presentation "The Lost Gospel of Thomas: Unknown ...

From the Introduction: Throughout history, countless cultures have revered those with the ability to heal through touch. These healers have been considered conduits of divine power, gifted with an innate ability that allows them to absorb and mitigate the physical suffering of others. The experience is often described in mystical terms; healers report feeling a higher energy coursing through them, a force that enters their body, heats their hands, and directs itself precisely where it is needed. What is this power? Where does it come from? And why do some possess it while others do not? ...

The Hunt for the Green Lion is a sweeping historical novel and contemplative guide in one volume. Set in twelfth-century Languedoc, it follows Emilia, Justin, Brother Pons, and Esclarmonde through love, siege, and choice as the Cathar South confronts a crusade from the North. Threaded through the drama is Evelyn Underhill’s key: the “Green Lion”—our raw, indomitable human nature—must be transmuted, not destroyed. When ferocity meets Love, gold appears. Across caves and courts, market squares and mountain strongholds, the story reveals who the bons omes e bonas femnas were: a ...

Despite the immortal status of Victor Hugo's classic novels and poems, there is much about the man that has remained untold, particularly outside of his native France.
