Patterns of Perception: Preferred Pathways to Genius deals with an important topic both for science and spirituality: direct perception. How do humans perceive reality? Is there something like a universal reality, one that is valid for all of us, or is reality always personal? And how does the memory surface work? Is our school system the right one, or do we have to implement fundamental changes so as to mold our school system after the way our brain learns? Would that not be the most intelligent way of doing it?

This 2017 revised, updated, and reformatted edition is not an article in the classical sense, but rather an intuitive summary of all of the author’s nonfiction books. Its paradigmatic style and authoritative diction have not a little in common with Nietzsche’s Thus Spoke Zarathustra. This expanded worldview is a concise sketch of "realizable" new ways, both individually and collectively, or, in a more expanded formulation, a new worldview that re-institutes real morality principles instead of the fake morality that postmodern international consumer culture practices 

Wilhelm Reich and the Function of the Orgasm; Great Minds Series, Vol. 11 - the 2017 revised, updated and reformatted edition - is a study about one of the greatest authorities on the discovery of the bioenergy for modern science and medical science.

Terence McKenna (1946-2000) has been studying the ontological foundations of shamanism and the ethnopharmacology of spiritual transformation for the past quarter century. An innovative theoretician and spellbinding orator, McKenna emerged as a powerful voice for the psychedelic movement and the emergent societal tendency he calls The Archaic Revival, one of his most popular books. In 1993, McKenna wrote in This World and Its Double. It’s clearly a crisis of two things: of consciousness and conditioning.

Creative Genius is the second audiobook of Great Minds series and the author's main publication on his more than 30 years of genius research.

Consciousness and Shamanism is the result of the author's Ayahuasca voyage in 2004 to Ecuador, where he was drinking the sacred brew in the presence of an experienced Shuar shaman. He puts up the hypothesis that when the traditional Ayahuasca brew is ingested, it is not, or not directly, the plant's DMT that causes the spiritual voyage as it is assumed in the overwhelming part of the literature on shamanism and entheogens. It is the shaman's super-consciousness impacting directly upon the consciousness of the shaman's client, the seeker of truth who comes to drink the brew.

Joseph Murphy and the Power of Your Subconscious Mind: Great Minds Series, Volume 6, 2017 Revised, Updated, and Reformatted Edition, is a study that features one of the greatest self-help authors of our time. Joseph Murphy (1898-1981), born in Ireland, was a naturalized American author and New Thought minister, ordained in divine science and religious science. He was born into a strictly Catholic schoolmaster family and was accepted as a Jesuit seminarian. However, by the time he reached his late teen years, he began to question the orthodoxy of the Jesuits and withdrew from the seminary, leaving his family for going to America, where he started a modest career as a pharmacist.

This book is a scholarly yet practical edition of the I Ching both for beginners and seasoned practitioners. The special focus of this divination guide is upon leadership, self-leadership, and leading others. The central concern of the author is to help the reader understand the I Ching from a point of view of decision-making, and as an aid to decision-making. In this sense, the ‘oracle book’ becomes an effective guide for taking action, which can mean bold action, nonaction or retreat. The wisdom is to arrive at right action, in whatever form it has to be carried out.

Shamanic Wisdom Meets the Western Mind provides a synthesis of realms of knowledge that hitherto were either blinded out from human consciousness or that were seen from a disparaging perspective that is in turn the result of a fragmented perception.  

Villoldo directs the Four Winds Society, where he trains individuals throughout the world in the practice of energy medicine and soul retrieval. While at San Francisco State University, he founded the Biological Self-Regulation Laboratory, to study how the mind creates psychosomatic health and disease, and it was with this research intention in mind, that he left his orderly life and ventured into the Andes, to find a knowledge that dates back thousands of years among native shamans and natural healers.

Basics of the Science of Mind: The Twelve Branches of the Tree of Knowledge (Scholarly Articles, Vol. 18), 2017, is a scholarly article that demonstrates how our science could look like if it was really holistic and integrative. The "Science of Mind" is an idea propagated by new-thought authors who have explored the frontiers of science comparing it with the ancient knowledge base of the Hermetic tradition.  

This is an essay on the unique teaching of J. Krishnamurti. It starts with the question "What is consciousness?" - and carefully proposes a holistic definition, after reviewing the various psychological and spiritual theories that deal with this subject. The author actually goes a step ahead and focuses on a more particular issue, a provocative question asked by K: “How to empty consciousness of its content?”

 Basics of Feng Shui: The Art and Science of Sensing the Energies is an introduction into a perennial science that originated from the ancient Chinese practice of arrangement of space, which is claimed to achieve harmony with the environment. There is scientific evidence now that feng shui is effective and not just a belief system, as astrology is not a belief system. Feng shui is a science of the bioenergy and perhaps the oldest distillation of this holistic knowledge. 

The Ego Matter: About the Importance of Autonomy for Realizing Your True Self (Scholarly Articles, Vol. 7) is an extensive personal guide manual helping the listener to become aware of their unique soul values.

Predictive astrology is the one that makes predictions for people's future, for what is going to happen. And as a matter of general stupidity, this is the kind of astrology most people take for the only one that merits the name astrology. And here they are mistaken, if not misled. This is not the astrology that has the highest merit and that serves true spiritual guidance. What this audiobook is about is not predictive astrology, but the old art of potential astrology as it was part of perennial science and philosophy in all ancient wisdom traditions.

The Tao Te Ching by Lao-tzu is one of the most translated books of world literature. It is here presented in a translation that deliberately avoids any philosophical commentary and renders the text in English in its most simple and straightforward composure.
