Coates gives the reader the essentials in this "uncovered" edition. While I would have preferred an index, this collection serves as a wonderful primary source for the student of gay history, and a great read for anyone interested in Oscar Wilde or one of the earliest modern legal defenses of homosexuality. Despite surprising claims that the "love that dare not speak its name" defense is *not* a defense of homosexuality, even the most cursory read will show it is a brilliant defense of homosexual love in the classical (age-differentiated) sense, which was the very type of romantic/sexual relationship Oscar Wilde and Bosie Douglas had formed.

Bailey uses conflicting situations that occur in his rich ethnography to illustrate how Karl Popper's methodological individualism can be pursued. It's a refreshing change from structural analyses of culture. Just the methodology, not to mention the in depth field work, make this book well worth its price. It should be on the book shelf of anyone with a serious interest in anthropology.

I read this book upon the recommendation of a friend. Not since reading Simple Abundance have I been so inspired to look at my own life to make sure that I am living the best life that I possibly can. This book is easy to read and the excercises are fun to do. I am using the Principles every day and I can see the progress already!

This CD contains all the Alice Bailey books for easy referral/study (especially when not at home).

Alice Bailey wrote these books under the mental dictation from the Master Djwhal Khul (the "Tibetan") about the Ancient Wisdom (the one true Religion). He is a true Master (spiritually conferred and achieved), achieving the fifth initiation, and a member of the fifth spiritual Kingdom/Hierarchy which is headed by the Christ (and therefore no longer part of the human/fourth Kingdom). Master Djwhal Khul also gave Madame Blavatsky (almost 50 years earlier) the information on the Ancient Wisdom to write her books on the "Secret Doctrine" also.

The Alice Bailey books comprise advanced teachings about discipleship, the "Seven Rays", spiritual initiation, and the higher worlds. With these teachings and training all those willing and spiritually evolved enough will be able to advance, learn and grow on the spiritual path.

Most of what we know and have been taught about spirituality, the "after-life", God, angels, souls, and spiritual evolution and its reality is basically erroneous information. This has been further distorted by misguided zealots of all faiths who accept as dogma the distorted, biased, and half-truths of the selfish, separative institutionalised man-made theologies (there is only one true Religion).

The spiritual truth and reality has been kept alive (besides the Ancient Wisdom), by the mystics and secret esoteric schools (such as the Rosicrucians/AMORC) throughout the ages. However, even they only have portions of the spiritual truth, but are a necesssary and recommended first step for advanced/aspiring humanity, as the Ancient Wisdom (as contained in the Bailey books) is very difficult to comprehend, and everything is achieved in stages (just as the mystic/devotee stage precedes the esoteric one).

Those willing and evolved enough to seek the the real truth about spirituality and esoteric reality (and disciplined enough to adhere to the training/teachings), will be amply rewarded with the knowledge attained and spiritual advancement achieved (you will experience and know for yourself that it is "real" and not just theoretical).

When you read (and are able to fully comprehend) the Alice Bailey books as conveyed by the Master Djwhal Khul, you will understand the worlds as they really are, and that only a spiritual Master of the Divine Kingdom could have possibly conveyed all this wealth of spiritual knowledge in all its comprehensive detail and splendor.

Darleen Bailey Beard is coming to my school in about a week and a half and on her web site... I read that the story of "Twister" was true, but some of it was fiction (like the characters, etc.) but the idea was true: a tornado really came when she was a girl and her mom wouldn't go down in the cellar because she had just fixed her hair up and she didn't want to get her hair messed up!

This is a must have book to any fisherman who wamts to learn all the do's and don't's as well as some tecnique pointers about the wonderfull sport of freshwater fishing. This hardcover has superbly colored photos and great annimations of rigs and lures. Jim Bailey really didn't hold anything back while writing this book.An awesome gift to any fisherman friend.
