Bookshelf of Ideas
Not sure what you’re looking for? Start with an idea.
Eight shelves arranged by question instead of category. Each opens with a short introduction and the books in stock that belong to it.
The Nature of Reality
Is the world made of matter, of mind, or of something that stands behind both?
Hidden Knowledge
The real teaching, on this view, was never written in the open; it was kept back for those who came looking.
Forbidden Ideas
A book becomes forbidden when someone with the power to stop it decides its ideas will do damage.
Consciousness and the Self
Look closely at the self and it starts to come apart.
Christian Mysticism
Christian mysticism is the pursuit of direct experience of God, and it grew inside the church, not at its edges.
Divination
Every method of divination assumes something about fate before it reads a single sign.
Alchemy & Transformation
Alchemy promised to turn base metal into gold, and it described the work in images of death and rebirth.
Lost Civilisations
Every search for Atlantis starts from the same two dialogues by Plato, Timaeus and Critias, in which Egyptian priests tell Solon of an island beyond the Pillars of Hercules that sank into the sea.
