Product Description
The rising interest in goddess spirituality expresses our current need to understand the feminine side of God, the Sophia (Divine Wisdom) and her relationship to the masculine aspects of God. Offering a new perspective, the author draws on his own research and on the teaching of Pavel Florensky, according to whom Sophia has a relationship to the masculine Trinity as an independent spiritual being. Robert Powell discusses Sophia as a Trinity - Mother, Daughter, and Holy Soul - and as the feminine aspect of Divine Godhead. He connects our reawakening to the feminine aspect of God with many of the changes now taking place in the world.

Also Included is an introduction to the Divine Feminine by Daniel Andreev, author of "The Rose of the World." ... Read more

New Revelation of the Divine Feminine
An excellent book for non-informative readers who are unaware of the Sophia/Divine Feminine. The book is an easy read and comprehensive. Gives a short historical background for those out there who only know what they are taught in Sunday school. Powell ties it altogether neatly.
Highly reccommended for those that want to investigate how the other half of the world views life and/or christianity from the beginning and the influences of christianity that were left out of the doctrine and teachings in the modern world.

Impressive, invaluable, and very welcome
The Most Holy Trinosophia And The New Revelation Of The Divine Feminine proposes that after two thousand years of traditional Christianity, Western civilization ready to acknowledge and embrace the "divine feminine". Co-founder of the Sophia Foundation of North America Robert Powell carefully guides the readers through a maze of concepts about the "world soul", Sophia as a "Trinity of Mother Daughter, and Holy Soul"; and the feminine aspect of the Divine Godhead. The produce of years of extensive, meticulous research, Powell draws upon the teachings of the Sophianic Russian philosopher Pavel Florensky and the work of the modern Russian mystic Daniel Andreev to inculcate a deeper understanding of the notion of divine feminine and its potential for social change in the modern world. The Most Holy Trinosophia is an impressive, invaluable, and very welcome contribution to the study of religion, metaphysics, and spirituality. ... Read more

Product Description
Ken Yeang has become synonymous with the term "the green skyscraper". The Malaysian-born architect has changed our perception of the high-rise, questioning every premise on which it was founded. It has long been assumed that skyscrapers, as high consumers of energy and materials, cannot be sensitive to ecological and environmental issues. Yeang's towers, by contrast, use vegetation as a crucial component of the facade and interior, acting both to remove heat and purify the air. In a wider sense, Yeang sees skyscrapers as "cities in the sky", with good pedestrian linkages, public zones, a wide variety of uses, stunning vistas and a sense of place extended upwards. His philosophy has had a global impact. By the year 2025 more than 70 per cent of humankind will be city dwellers. Yeang's solutions for the skyscraper, discussed and illustrated in depth in this monograph, offer a vision of urban habitation in the 21st century. ... Read more

Excellent!
This book shows the work of a brilliant architect.It is not only worth the price, but I think the book might even be underpriced.If you love architecture, you'll love this book.

Rolando M. Barlaan, AIA
A well written book. Based on the architectural images provided in the book, it provides the reader a clear perception of architectural space and its environs. Although I have practiced architecture in the United States for over 28 years, I have been reminded again of what makes Philippine architecture unique. Architect Francisco Manosa captured the essence of indigenous tropical malay architecture and the only missing elements are the aromascoming from the kitchen and you feel you have actually lived in these houses. Congratulations on a well documented project and I wish Mr. Caruncho all the encouragement to continue writing on projects such as this. ... Read more

"Piffle Before the Wind"--skip this one!
The book starts out very slow and does not improve.I had to really focus to follow the authors' thought process. I was not impressed with his writing skills, but tried to keep an open mind and read the entire book.Ultimately I found his pretentious, verbose and rambling style boring and not worth the pay off.

After reading other books on the subject by authors with superior writing skills, I cannot truthfully recommend this author's book. Skip it and buy one that is an enjoyable read--for example, Mind into an Ally by Sakyong Mipham Rinpoche, Peace is Every Step: The Path of Mindfulness in Everyday Life by Thich Nhat Hanh, and A Heart Full of Peace by Joseph Goldstein--you will get the message without having to pry it off the pages.

A wonderful book
I cannot speak highly enough of this little known book and of its author. I would thoroughly recommend it not just to those interested in Advaita Vedanta but to anyone interested in looking beyond the confines of traditional religious dogma and to those who are in search of a greater truth of our existence ...

Product Description
At the heart of the mystery of Christianity, we encounter the divinity of Jesus Christ—the revelation of the descent of God from the spiritual world into the material world for the sake of humanity. To unveil the meaning of this cosmic event, authors Charles Tidball and Robert Powell (in his two chapters) draw on four very different sources: the Gospels themselves, medieval and Renaissance tradition and art, the visions of Anne Catherine Emmerich, and the spiritual science, or Anthroposophy, of Rudolf Steiner. Viewing the former in the light of the latter, the authors unravel three key riddles: the nature of Jesus, the identity of Lazarus and the meaning of his initiatory "raising from the dead," and the Messianic mystery of the incarnation of the Christ. In the process, much is learned of the actual dating of the Gospel events, as well the repercussions of these events in history. This is a book for all those interested in the "Jesus mysteries." ...

Arithmetician about Supposed Mysteries
Books giving voice to anthroposophy awfully vary in quality. Some of them are revelatory and inspiring; they encourage to independent thinking (e. g. M. Scaligero, G. Kühlewind, O. Barfield, C. Bamford). Charles S. Tidball humbly serve authorities. The book is full of quotations and commentaries. Somebody thought thru Christian Mysteries, even only dreamed of them, and Dr. Tidball conveyed it to us. Tidball aided by Powell brings lengthy calculations of alleged exact dates of Jesus Christ earthly life. Many details, no compelling evidence. And absolutely no connection between numerous words and contemporary spiritual (and social) crisis. ... Read more

Product Description
The research presented by Robert Powell in this book shows that a new science of the stars is possible, based on a study of reincarnation and karma. Willi Sucher did much to pioneer the development of a new star wisdom, or astrosophy, as a scientific tool for the investigation of karma. Powell has discovered that applying the science of astrosophy to the findings of karma research reveals--through the discovery of astrological reincarnation rules--the foundations underlying star wisdom. Once these foundational findings relating to astrological reincarnation research have been assimilated, a reformation of traditional astrology will inevitably take place. Once the new astrology is established, there will be a similar feeling in looking back upon traditional Western astrology that modern astronomers have when looking back upon the old geocentric astronomy.

The purpose of this book is to contemplate the incarnations of the prophet Elijah, with the goal of laying the foundation for a new "science of the stars" as the "science of karma." At the close of his last lecture, after discussing the sequence of incarnations of Elijah-John the Baptist-Raphael-Novalis, Rudolf Steiner spoke of this individuality as "a radiant and splendid forerunner...with whom you are to prepare the work that shall be accomplished at the end of the [twentieth] century, and will lead humankind past the great crisis in which it is involved." These words indicate that, from the end of the twentieth century and into the twenty-first century (that is, now), the Elijah-John individuality is to be a "radiant forerunner" for humanity in the next step underlying our spiritual evolution.

Elijah Come Again presents a scientific approach toward unveiling the mystery of human destiny. This theme is timeless in nature--yet timely, nevertheless, in the recounting of the unfolding destiny and mission of the Old Testament prophet Elijah. This individuality, whose various incarnations are explored in this book, is of such spiritual weight and stature as to call forth both rain and fire from heaven in the service of humanity's evolution toward communion with the spiritual forces of love and morality that live in the human heart as the abiding presence of the living Word. "Elijah does come first to restore all things" (Mark 9:12). These words of Christ apply now--in relation to the ongoing fulfillment of Elijah's mission in the world at the present time toward the peoples of the Earth. ... Read more
