The Impact of Light

"The light of the sun travels ninety-three million miles to reach the earth, where it is absorbed into the system of a tiny flower, transformed by photosynthesis into the energy of growth, and expressed once again in the radiant beauty of the unfolding blossom. Indeed, at times the color of a blooming flower is so intense and vital that there can be no doubt that God is present. Just so, the aspirant who has contacted the source of illumination is constantly touching everything in his life, at every level, with the light of this light. He reveals the presence of God."

"From this, we can learn a most powerful lesson. To become an agent of light, we must endeavor to shine the light perfectly through whatever darkness we encounter, even though we may not know for sure how to contact the actual source. If we make the effort, constantly invoking the guidance of the soul, the contact will be made."

Three New Titles from Ariel Press: 

Satires & Parodies

by Alexander Pope

When it comes to satire and parody, no poet surpasses Alexander Pope.  Yet most modern English speaking people are unaware of the full range of Pope’s wit.  They are familiar, perhaps, with The Rape of the Lock and perhaps The Dunciad.  But they have not yet discovered the rich treasure of satire and social comment found in his shorter satires and parodies.

This book is the first to collect the parodies and satires in a single volume.  It begins with his droll spoofs of Chaucer, Marvell, Rochester, and Swift, and then moves onto the satires: The Epistle to Dr. Arbuthnot and his “imitations” of Horace, John Donne, and Swift—all of them scintillating with his brilliant insights into the human comedy.

Satires & Parodies costs $21.99 plus $6 shipping. 

 This book is the 6th in a 10-book series of the complete poems of Alexander Pope.  The following books are already in print:
An Essay on Man, $17.99.
Moral Essays, $17.99.
The Rape of the Lock, $17.99.
The Dunciad, $21.99.
An Essay on Criticism, $18.99.

Yet to be issued are four books: Odes & Epistles and The Temple of Fame, as well as Pope's translations of the Odyssey and the Iliad.

  All 10 books can be purchased as a set for $180, postpaid.package.

Companions in the Light:
Interacting with Other Kingdoms of Life

We sometimes get mired in the immediate demands of human life, and fail to understand, even in part, our relationship with other kinds of life on earth, whether physical or invisible. These beings share a common heritage with us. As we tread the path to enlightenment, and begin to shed the blinders of human darkness, we begin to recognize these lives - and our need to interact with love and empathy within them. 

Companions in the Light is a compilation of twelve "lessons" in dealing not only with Mother Nature and her kingdoms, but also with elementals, angels, nonphysical humans, and the Logos. They were first published in the Enlightenment series, written by Robert R. Leichtman, M.D. and Carl Japikse. They reveal the true lessons of interacting wisely with our environment.

One copy of Companions in the Light costs $14.99, plus $6 shipping.  The book is also available as one of seven books in the Enlightenment series, which is now complete.  The entire Enlightenment series can be purchased for $90, plus $8 for shipping.  Other titles in the series are: The Light of Learning, The Revelation of Light, The Lights of Heaven, Embodying the Light, Embracing the Light, and The Light that Penetrates.  They also cost $14.99 apiece plus $6 shipping for one book, $8 for two or more books.

The Gunga Sahib:
A Chullunder Ghose Story of Destiny in India

Ben Quorn is a grave digger from Philadelphia who finds himself, helped by strange quirks of destiny, riding an elephant named Asoka through the streets of Narada, the capital city of a small Indian province. Seen by hundreds, he is thought to be the reincarnation of Gunga Sahib, a character in Hindu mythology who is supposed to return some day to restore a beautiful princess to her rightful throne.

One of the people who sees Quorn riding Asoka is Chullunder Ghose, one of the most colorful fictional characters ever created.  Ghose yearns to be prime minister in the province and sees his opportunity. He encourages Quorn and the only available princess to bring the ancient myth to life and topple the government. His plan is as convoluted as a labyrinth laid out by a drunk—but it ends up succeeding. Myth and destiny conspire to produce the most unlikely of results.

Talbot Mundy wrote some of the finest esoteric fiction in print.  The Gunga Sahib is filled with insights into how superstitions and legends can be used to manipulate the masses—and how destiny conspires to triumph no matter who gets in the way.

The Gunga Sahib costs $20.99 plus $6 postage.  It may also be purchased as part of a seven-book collection of the writings of Talbot Mundy for $125 plus $8 postage.  The first six books in the series are all in print:

Caves of Terror.  $14.99
Black Light.   $19.99
The Thunder Dragon Gate.  $18.99
Old Ugly Face. $27.99
Winds from the East.  $21.99
The Gunga Sahib.  $20.99.

The final book will be The Nine Unknown.
