The Years of Milk and Tar

Descriere: "That which seems most gentle and bewildered in you is the strongest and most determined. Is it not your breath that has erected and hardened the structure of your bones? And is it not a dream which none of you remember having dreamt, that built your city and fashioned all there is in it? Could you but see the tides of that breath you would cease to see all else, and if you could hear the whispering of the dream you would hear no other sound. "But you do not see, nor do you hear, and it is well. The veil that clouds your eyes shall be lifted by the hands that wove it, and the clay that fills your ears shall be pierced by those fingers that kneaded it. "And one day you shall see. And one day you shall hear. "Yet you shall not deplore having known blindness, nor regret having been deaf. For in that day you shall know the hidden purposes in all things, and you shall bless darkness as you would bless the light." After saying these things the Avatar looked about him, and he saw Charon, the pilot of his ship, standing by the helm and gazing now at the billowing sails and now at the distance. And he said: "Ah, patient, over patient, is the captain of my ship. The wind blows, and the sails are restless; even the rudder begs direction; yet quietly my captain awaits my silence. And these my mariners, who have heard the choir of the greater sea, they too have heard me patiently. Now they shall wait no longer. I am ready. "The river has reached the sea, and once more the great mother holds her son against her breast. Fare you well, people of Earth. This day has ended. It is closing upon us even as the water-lily upon its own tomorrow. What was given us here we shall keep, and if it suffices not, then again must we come together and together stretch our hands unto the giver. Forget not that I shall come back to you. "A little while, and my longing shall gather dust and foam for another body. A little while, my darling rosebud, a little while longer; a moment of rest upon the wind, and another woman shall bear me. "Farewell to you and the youth I have spent with you. It was but yesterday we met in a dream. You have sung to me in my aloneness, and I of your longings have built a tower in the sky. But now our sleep has fled and our dream is over, and it is no longer dawn. The noontide is upon us and our half waking has turned to fuller day, and we must part. If in the twilight of memory we should meet once more, we shall speak again together and you shall sing to me a sweeter song. And if our hands should meet in another dream we shall build another tower in the sky. "Kiss me now as I go so that when I awaken on that far shore, I will remember what lulled me so gently to sleep: the touch of your lips on mine."

Paul Barber

Vampires, Burial, and Death: Folklore and Reality

In this engrossing book, Paul Barber surveys centuries of folklore about vampires and offers the first scientific explanation for the origins of the vampire legends. From the tale of a sixteenth-century shoemaker from Breslau whose ghost terrorized everyone in the city, to the testimony of a doctor who presided over the exhumation and dissection of a graveyard full of Serbian vampires, his book is fascinating reading. "This study's comprehensiveness and the author's bone-dry wit make this compelling reading, not just for folklorists, but for anyone interested in a time when the dead wouldn't stay dead."--Booklist "Barber's inquiry into vampires, fact and fiction, is a gem in the literature of debunking... [and] a convincing exercise in mental archaeology."--Roy Porter, Nature "A splendid book about the undead, illuminated by the findings of morbid anatomy.... The main value of this most interesting book is to remind us how far we have come in our ability to explain the world and how this has released us from at least some terrors."--Anthony Daniels, Spectator "This book is fascinating reading for physicians and anthropologists as well as anyone interested in folklore."--R. ...

Carlos Castaneda

Teachings of Don Juan: A Yaqui Way of Knowledge

5,From "one of the most profound and influential thinkers of the century" (Deepak Chopra) comes the first groundbreaking book in the series that introduces don Juan Matus--a Yaqui Indian sorcerer whose teachings transcend the boundaries of conventional knowledge. The Teachings of Don Juan: A Yaqui Way of Knowledge is a captivating work of anthropology and spiritual exploration, first published in 1968. Presented as a first-person account of Castaneda's apprenticeship with a Yaqui shaman named don Juan Matus whom he meets in the deserts of Mexico, it blends mysticism and personal narrative, chronicling Castaneda's journey into the world of shamanism and his experiences with altered states of consciousness. Through powerful rituals, psychoactive plants, and profound teachings, Castaneda begins to unravel the mysteries of perception, existence, and the nature of true knowledge. With every page, you'll be drawn deeper into his quest to become a "man of knowledge"--someone who lives with unshakable purpose, clarity, and attunement to life's hidden forces. Perfect for seekers of spirituality, explorers of consciousness, or anyone curious about ancient traditions, this book is a ...
