Preface to the first edition. The gulf which lies between the thinking of the ordinary world in reference to matters having to do with the destinies of the human soul, and the position occupied by those students of the school with which I am specially concerned, is widening, year by year. "Current teaching," as Mr. Balfour has called it, stands still; knowledge concerning the conditions of existence in ultraphysical realms of Nature has expanded enormously for those who have sought it the right way during the last fifteen years, and is expanding with ever-increasing rapidity. <strong>...</strong></p>Sinnett Alfred Percy - Esoteric buddhismurn:md5:16bbd47ff84dfc31b90d22ec2ae00c842014-04-17T17:49:00+01:002014-04-17T16:50:04+01:00balderSinnett Alfred PercyAsiaIndiaJewSatanismSouth Asia <p><img src="https://balderexlibris.com/public/img3/Sinnett_Alfred_Percy_-_Esoteric_buddhism.jpg" alt="" /><br />

Preface. The teachings embodied in the present volume let in a flood of light on questions connected with Buddhist doctrine which have deeply perplexed previous writers on that religion, and ofler the world for the first time a practical clue to the meaning of almost all ancient religious symbolism. More than this, the Esoteric Doctrine, when properly understood, will be found to advance an overpowering claim on the attention of earnest thinkers. Its tenets are not presented to us as the invention of any founder or prophet. Its testimony is based on no written scriptures. Its views of Nature have been evolved by the researches of an immense succession of investigators, qualified for their task by the possession of spiritual faculties and perceptions of a higher order than those belonging to ordinary humanity. <strong>...</strong></p>McCoy Alfred William - The politics of heroin in Southeast Asiaurn:md5:d61445495172afa288f83068943250132013-05-16T13:41:00+01:002013-12-28T15:47:38+00:00balderMcCoy Alfred WilliamDrugHong KongSecond World WarSouth Asia <p><img src="https://balderexlibris.com/public/img2/.McCoy_Alfred_William_-_The_politics_of_heroin_in_Southeast_Asia_s.jpg" alt="" /><br />

Examining and exposing the true nature of the international heroin traffic has provided interesting copy for. some writers and brushes with dangerfor others. Very early into our research we discovered that there were facts we were just not supposed to know, people we were not supposed totalk to, and questions we were not supposed to ask.But there was a large group of friends who cooperated with us, and we with them, in uncovering the political dimensions of the internationalheroin traffic. There are many persons in Southeast Asia who helped us immeasurably by supplying us with firsthand accounts of incidents andother "inside" information whose names may not be mentioned out of respect for their personal safety, but whose assistance is greatly appreciated.This group includes students, past and present government officials, law enforcement personnel, and journalists.We would like to acknowledge the many newspapers and periodicals that opened their files to us, including Far Eastern Economic Review, LaMarsedlaise, Lao Presse, Le Monde, Le Provencal, and the South China Morning Post. We are grateful to members of the press corps in HongKong, London, Paris, Saigon, Singapore, Vientiane, and the United States who shared their information and informants with us and gave us manyleads, some of which they themselves were unaware or unwilling to follow up. Among this group we would like to thank Simon Albury (BritishBroadcasting Corporation), T. D. Allman, Jacques Decornoy (Le Monde), Leo Goodstadt (Far Eastern Economic Re-view), Grace Helms (MilfordCitizen), John Hughes (Christian Science Monitor), and Peter Dale Scott.We were assisted in our research in London by Adrian Cowell and Cornelius Hawkridge and in Paris by Jean Chesnqaux, Phillipe Devillers,General F. Gambiez, Annick Levy, Guy Mor‚chand, Laura Summers, and Christine White. In the United States we were helped and advised byFred Branfman, James Boyd of the Fund for Investigative Journal-ism, Antonia Dul, Allen Ginsberg, Lawrence Litshultz, Professor Karl Peltzer ofYale University, and Virginia Lee Read. In Laos we are grateful to our interpreter, Phin Manivong, and our photographer/guide, John Everingham.Finally, we are most indebted to Elisabeth Jakab of Harper & Row, who, in addition to being a superb editor, was a constant source ofencouragement and inspiration. <strong>...</strong></p>The Georgia Guidestonesurn:md5:80c712fc1aa3a8bab758c523e6da97532012-11-06T22:54:00+00:002014-05-04T20:19:08+01:00balderAnonymousAfricaAmericaAustraliaEugenicsEuropeJewSouth AmericaSouth AsiaUnited States <p><img src="https://balderexlibris.com/public/img/.The_Georgia_Guidestones_s.jpg" alt="" /><br />

The Georgia Guidestones is probably the most unusual monument ever produced in the Elberton Granite area. Not only is its massive size larger than any single other monument of record manufactured here, the circumstances surrounding its origin, completion, and erection have undoubtedly caused more speculation and comment than any of the other millions of grani te memorials produced in Elberton since the area's famed Granite Industry started nearly a century ago. It is entirely fitting and proper that joe H. Fendley, Sr., President of Elberton Granite Finishing Company, Inc., who was the "'builder" of The Georgia Guidestones, has herein recorded for posterity the intriguing story of how this unique monument came into being. With painstaking care, he has collected invaluable information and pictorial records of men and women, their skills and dedication, the materials, the messages, and the meanings of this gigantic monument which s tands now and for all time in Elbert County, Georgia. Since the unveiling of this truly unique monument on March 22, 1980, it has already become a famous landmark for the Elberton area. Widely publicized and frequently called ''America's Stonehenge." The Georgia Guidestones will continue to bring visitors to Elberton and Elbert County to inspect the stone features and read the provocative messages inscribed thereon. Already the subject of numerous newspaper, magazine, and television stories during the few months since it was placed on the highest point in Elbert County, Georgia, the mysterious monument is destined to continue to grow in its interest-attracting fascination for the people of Georgia, the Nation, and the World. The documentation contained in this compilation of materials relating to this most unusual Elberton Granite monument will be a treasured memento for the merely curious visitors in years to come; it will prove to be an indispensable resource tool for the serious historians of the future. Without doubt, The Georgia Guidestones do contain significant messages for present and future generations to consider. Not everyone will agree with all of the succinct "g11ides" which have been permanently inscribed in eight different languages in these massive pieces of Elberton Granite. Very few persons on earth today could read or translate the four archaic languages on the capstone which implore mankind -now and in the future- to "Let These Be Guidestones To An Age of Reason." This publication about these unique stones will serve to help all inhabitants of this planet reflect more earnestly - hopefully in a "reasonable" fashion - about these "guides" to mankind's ultimate survival. March, 1981. <strong>...</strong></p>Levinson David - Encyclopedia of World Cultures Vol 3 - South Asiaurn:md5:f13d5a5cc8184c9cfe86c02e0aa3ba812012-01-17T00:34:00+00:002014-05-07T21:59:52+01:00balderLevinson DavidEncyclopediaSouth Asia <p><img src="https://balderexlibris.com/public/img/.Levinson_David_-_Encyclopedia_of_World_Cultures_Vol_3_s.jpg" alt="" /><br />

The diversity of South Asia, which covers a major sector of tropical and subtropical Asia, is quite apparent as one reads through the dozens of descriptive accounts published here, most written by an acknowledged expert on the community, caste, tribe, or sect in question. Some groups are tiny, others number in the millions; some are maritime, others live high in the mountain ranges; most have long flourished in the mainstream of major Indian civilizations, although a few are so remote that they have been effectively cut off from any civilizational influence until the present century, by mountains or deserts if not by preference. <strong>...</strong></p>
