&#8220;From the Fixed part of ourselves, we get those things that are like time-release capsules, they are in us all, waiting to be activated.

		<title>On the symbolism of the bee&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
This is an interesting paper that covers a range of my personal passions. The bee itself, symbology, esoteric or hidden knowledge and Ancient Egyptian mythology.
On the Symbolism of  the Bee in the Occult Tradition
By AB
Greetings. 
To those unfamiliar  with our work, it may seem curious that an occult aspirant should choose the seemingly [...]]]></description>

I wrote a Preface for a new book, I thought I would share it, feedback always appreciated:
Dedication 
I dedicate this work to my teachers whose anonymity I respect but without whose guidance I would still be lost, confused and sleeping soundly.
 I offer this work to all those who seek understanding of their own situation and are [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Law of Attraction</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I was reading The Doctrine and Practice of Yoga by Swami Muckergee recently. I was caught by his description of the Law of Attraction and the fact that the book was printed in 1922. Here&#8217;s an excerpt. There really is nothing new. Everything is recycled. What goes around, comes around:
&#8220;Student! Your life is your own. [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Significance of Others</title>
		<description><![CDATA[You are born alone and you die alone. In between there are some seven billion of us and rising on this small, densely populated planet. What does that suggest to you? Does it suggest anything? It has been said that there are more people alive here and now than the combined total of all people [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Soap Opera and the Real World</title>
		<description><![CDATA[As long as there is conflict and negative argument between the different disciplines of human excellence; the arts, the sciences and the humanities then human affairs will be a grand soap opera. This achieves nothing other than perpetuating a series of petty rivalries and mistrusts between those who subscribe to different doctrines.
A time will come [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Game</title>
		<description><![CDATA[What is the game? As in &#8216;The Game&#8217;? In this melting pot world of ours, we have created some nonsense; trying to make sense of it all is an absolute nightmare of a task at times.  
To me the criteria that govern life are simple and yet this world makes the most peculiar demands [...]]]></description>

		<title>Assessment</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The urge to communicate is a pretty strong feature in most of us. It takes various guises and expresses itself in a variety of ways. My own life has been an interesting one, I&#8217;ve lived the most privileged of existences and I know that, I have seen and done things that many people only dream [...]]]></description>

		<title>Love and &#8216;look at me, stupid&#8217;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[To assume that everyone is stupid and needs to meet you on your terms is a recipe for isolation. The greatest thinkers, ideas people, innovators and visionaries all need a simple bridge in place so that others might cross to where they are.
As time passes it becomes more pressingly real to me that I have [...]]]></description>

		<title>Happiness</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The Mechanics of Happiness is getting some quite remarkable feedback, it&#8217;s only fair that I share some of it&#8230;.
Hi Peter,
I have opted to read the book from beginning to end, not picking out individual books.
I am blown away at your brilliance and insight; it truly is a read that makes you feel as though you [...]]]></description>
