Luhter,
there is Ultimate Truth, but it is unreachable to our limited senses and logic.
So, even in complete lies there is rooted little bit of Truth.
Well, Ra is'nt some god limited to the egyptian culture and religion. He is mental projection from divine Sphere of Heaven, meaning that gods are basicly on highest level just a Bornless Idea or Thought (Logos) and we cannot even speculate upon their Goals or Functions. They are completely unimaginable by a human inhabiting the 3D world. Some lower incarnations of the gods, working on the present level or higher, can be very intelligent alien being by our perception.
Gods are individual forces connected in web of collective Consciousness. They serve the GOD together. Wenn incarnated in physical, they can more directly interact with the lower beings.
Part of the New Age beliefs is that they can communicate through mediumship, channelings and automathic writing with humans. I cannot be certain of credibility in such cases, because it is very subjective experience. There are also fake channelings and "gurus" reaching to your wallet and money.
But, I as a hermetist, believe that there are genuine channelings and benevolent alien groups such as Pleiadians, Cassiopaeans and others. I also believe that there are less benevolent or dangerous alien groups such as Zeta-Reticulans and reptilian humanoids.

There are two kind of alien lifeforms: Extraterrestrials, those incarnated possessing physical bodies, and Ultraterrestrials, those who have transcended space and time, ascending in higher planes and dimensions. UT's are free from the chains of material world and they are closer to the highest perception of GOD.

Re: Occult, Spiritual and Esoteric (Alternative) Books

Comment on books:

Those thirsty for knowledge will not dismiss this books as nonsense. He who sees the Truth in all, is more privy to the Secret Doctrine witch was never contemplated by unpure souls.

William Walker Atkinson - Practical Mind Reading (1906)

If you want to be able to read other people thoughts, this book is for you. It deals with Telepathy, Psychic Influence, Mental Currents, Mental Rapport and other related subjects. In this very rare and hard to find book, master mentalist W.W. Atkinson teaches several mind-reading techniques that few people in the world know about.

Re: Occult, Spiritual and Esoteric (Alternative) Books

Alison Butler - The Revival of the Occult Philosophy

It is essential that we include the history of the western magical tradition in any study of intellectual history. The belief in and practice of magic is part of an interpretation of existence with a long history.

That humanity continues to turn to magic for answers about the universe, human beings, and their interaction with the world demonstrates that it is not a mode of thinking which can be dated to a certain time period, The history of the western magical tradition defied the existence of a world process of rationalisation.
This thesis will show how the tradition did so in the Renaissance and continued to do so in a revival of that same magical system in nineteenth-century England. Specifically, in this study we will focus on the establishment and development of cabalistic magic and how it provided the ideal system in which many currents of esotericism could be assimilated.
We will show how this synthesis began in the Renaissance by scholars such as Pico della Mirandola, Johannes Reuchlin and Heinrich Cornelius Agrippa von Nettesheim, and we will show how the process was concluded by Samuel Liddell MacGregor Mathers, a cofounder of a nineteenth-century English magical society, The Hemetic Order of the Golden Dawn. Along the way we will discuss the contributions of various scholars and occultists and demonstrate their roles in either maintaining and, or expanding the system of cabalistic magic.

Kybalion

The "Three Initiates" who authored The Kybalion chose to remain anonymous. As a result, a great deal of speculation has been made about who actually wrote the book.
This book is a study of basic hermetic teachings that outlines an ageless wisdom. In ancient times (and even today) these teachings were not understood by the lay person, but were readily understood by students, after the axioms and principles had been explained and exemplified by the Hermetic Initiates and Masters to their Neophytes. The Kybalion was originally written in the early 1900s and is now in the public domain. A priceless gem!

Contents:
Introduction
I. Hermetic Philosophy
II. Seven Hermetic Principles
III. Mental Transmutation
IV. The All
V. The Mental Universe
VI. The Divine Paradox
VII. "The All" in All
VIII. Planes of Correspondence
IX. Vibration
X. Polarity
XI. Rhythm
XII. Causation
XIII. Gender
XIV. Mental Gender
XV. Hermetic Axioms

Re: Occult, Spiritual and Esoteric (Alternative) Books

The Aurum Solis Manual

Aurum Solis, Gold of the Sun, is a magical order founded in England in 1897 by George Stanton and Charles Kingold which claims descent from the Ogdoadic Tradition of the Western Mystery Tradition[1]. It is best known through the published works of two of its leaders, Vivian Godfrey and Leon Barcynski. Better known by their pseudonyms, Melita Denning and Osborne Phillips, the husband and wife team together authored many books on different aspects of magical practice, such as Astral Projection and Creative Visualization, as well as their seminal work outlining the corpus of the Aurum Solis and the Ogdoadic Tradition, The Magical Philosophy.

Despite being a small Tradition and Order, in comparison to the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn and its descendents or various Thelemic orders, it remains a distinct and unique system of magical philosophy and practice.

G.R.S. Mead - The Hymns of Hermes

These writings are attributed to Hermes Trismegistus an ancient Egyptian the founder of all arts and sciences both mundane and spiritual. Rather than being an actual person Hermes is, in reality, the Egyptian personification of the Gnostic Revealer. In addition to providing translations of the beautiful Greek hymns from the ancient Hermetic writing, Mead offers an interpretation which is sympathetic personal and full of insight. This little volume which might well be called initiatory is an excellent introduction to the Hermetic Gnosis.

Re: Occult, Spiritual and Esoteric (Alternative) Books

Buddy69, here is as requested:

Fritjof Capra - The Tao Of Physics

First published in 1975, The Tao of Physics rode the wave of fascination in exotic East Asian philosophies. Decades later, it still stands up to scrutiny, explicating not only Eastern philosophies but also how modern physics forces us into conceptions that have remarkable parallels. Covering over 3,000 years of widely divergent traditions across Asia, Capra can't help but blur lines in his generalizations. But the big picture is enough to see the value in them of experiential knowledge, the limits of objectivity, the absence of foundational matter, the interrelation of all things and events, and the fact that process is primary, not things. Capra finds the same notions in modern physics. Those approaching Eastern thought from a background of Western science will find reliable introductions here to Hinduism, Buddhism, and Taoism and learn how commonalities among these systems of thought can offer a sort of philosophical underpinning for modern science. And those approaching modern physics from a background in Eastern mysticism will find precise yet comprehensible descriptions of a Western science that may reinvigorate a hope in the positive potential of scientific knowledge. Whatever your background, The Tao of Physics is a brilliant essay on the meeting of East and West, and on the invaluable possibilities that such a union promises. --Brian Bruya

The Book of Enoch

Originally Rejected by the Church, THE BOOK OF ENOCH (aka Enoch 1) is read as an Apocryphal text and studied by Christians, Mormons, Muslims, students of Kabbalah (Qabbalah, Zohar) and theosophy, Gnostic Biblical History and Comparative Religion Students, Scholars, Historians, Free Thinkers, Atheists, New Age Thinkers, Angel Researchers and other voracious readers.

The Book of Enoch, written during the second century B.C.E., is one of the most important non-canonical apocryphal works, and probably had a huge influence on early Christian, particularly Gnostic, beliefs.
Filled with hallucinatory visions of heaven and hell, angels and devils, Enoch introduced concepts such as fallen angels, the appearance of a Messiah, Resurrection, a Final Judgement, and a Heavenly Kingdom on Earth. Interspersed with this material are quasi-scientific digressions on calendrical systems, geography, cosmology, astronomy, and meteorology!!!

Recommended for alien and UFO researchers.

The Edda of Saemund

The Poetic Edda is a collection of Old Norse poems primarily preserved in the Icelandic mediaeval manuscript Codex Regius. Along with Snorri Sturluson's Prose Edda the Poetic Edda is the most important extant source on Norse mythology and Germanic heroic legends. Codex Regius was written in the 13th century but nothing is known of its whereabouts until 1643 when it came into the possession of Brynjólfur Sveinsson, then Bishop of Skálholt. At that time versions of Snorri's Edda were well known in Iceland but scholars speculated that there once was another Edda—an Elder Edda—which contained the pagan poems which Snorri quotes in his book. When Codex Regius was discovered, it seemed that this speculation had proven correct. Brynjólfur attributed the manuscript to Sæmundr the Learned, a larger-than-life 12th century Icelandic priest. While this attribution is rejected by modern scholars, the name Sæmundar Edda is still sometimes encountered.

A true Viking Bible!
