Sacred Knowledge
Summary
Sacred Knowledge is the first well-documented, sophisticated account of the effect of psychedelics on biological processes, human consciousness, and revelatory religious experiences. Based on nearly three decades of legal research with volunteers, William A. Richards argues that, if used responsibly and legally, psychedelics have the potential to assuage suffering and constructively affect the quality of human life.
Richards's analysis contributes to social and political debates over the responsible integration of psychedelic substances into modern society. His book serves as an invaluable resource for listeners who, whether spontaneously or with the facilitation of psychedelics, have encountered meaningful, inspiring, or even disturbing states of consciousness and seek clarity about their experiences. Testing the limits of language and conceptual frameworks, Richards makes the most of experiential phenomena that stretch our conception of reality, advancing new frontiers in the study of belief, spiritual awakening, psychiatric treatment, and social well-being. His findings enrich humanities and scientific scholarship, expanding work in philosophy, anthropology, theology, and religious studies and bringing depth to research in mental health, psychotherapy, and psychopharmacology.

Astrology Book for Beginners 2020
Summary
Astrology for beginners: What’s it all mean? Most of us read our horoscopes at some point, skeptic or not. Most of us also only read our Sun sign horoscope, when in reality, that’s just the tip of the iceberg. Our Sun sign is only one facet of our personalities (according to astrology). So, while I’m a Sagittarius, for instance, it’s just as important that my Moon is in Scorpio, and my rising sign is in Virgo. (Yes, I’m hella intense and complicated.) Check your moon, sun, and rising signs to get a more specific reading and analysis Get with the elements and how they affect you Don’t forget the planets - and the three categories Astrology is a method of predicting mundane events based upon the assumption that the celestial bodies - particularly the planets and the stars considered in their arbitrary combinations or configurations (called constellations) - in some way either determine or indicate changes in the sublunar world. Cancers are loyal, but moody. Aquarians are fascinating, but unpredictable. Be patient with a Libra, and never tell an Aries they're wrong. Does this sound like gibberish to you? It's true that astrology can seem like a foreign language, and that's because it sort of is. At its most basic level, astrology is the belief that the movement of cosmic bodies can influence human lives, and learning about it can make you feel like you understand the world in a whole new way. Really. Mayan astrology is a variation of Mesoamerican astrology, one of the most forward-thinking kinds of astrology of its time. The Mayan Calendar, or Tzolk'in, is comprised of 20 Day Signs and 13 Galactic Numbers, making a 260-day calendar "year". What's your Mayan sign? One's Mayan Day Sign defines his or her personality.
