Beware! If you sleep soundly, and wish to continue sleeping soundly, then you ought not to read this book. These fantastic short stories will take you to abysses into which you may fall, both in this world and in the hereafter. They deal with dreams in which you know you are dreaming, and with the reality which you're sleeping through, although you're convinced you are awake. You'll be jolted awake by these extraordinary and mystical tales of love, madness, and passion, of homicidal lust and death, as well as by the author's remarks on the stories. Dream or reality? That is the question, and the answer is always surprising. Within every exciting and entertaining episode you'll find a serious idea offering you food for thought. Crazy worldviews are set straight. Beliefs are questioned, and un-believable new insights illuminate matters which previously lay in the dark. An entirely new worldview is presented by revolutionary theses concerning the mystery of consciousness, the world of dreams, and the nature of spirit and the spirits. This book concerns the practical knowledge that human beings - the powerful and the powerless alike - are unwitting pawns in the strategy game of the gods. And it concerns the technique which allows us to awaken, to free ourselves, and to jump off this game board. Again, Stejnar proves esotericism can be exciting, intelligent, and immensely helpful for living (and dying).
A propos de l'auteur
Born in 1939 in Vienna (Austria), Stejnar has been engaged in magic and mysticism since his early youth. Through numerous publications and media appearances he became well known at home and abroad. Next to running his own jewellery store he directed for twenty years the "Institute for scientific destiny research" and is founder of Gnostic Hermeticism, which carries the old Traditions forward into the third millenary. He is particularly concerned with Freemasonry and Astrology, as this is where he found the interface that links the world of the spirit with the world of matter, and thus the world of esotericism with the world of science. Stejnar is reckoned to be the successor of famous magician Franz Bardon, and he is mentioned in the preface of the new edition of George R.S. Mead's work on Gnosis "Fragments of a Faith Forgotten" next to great minds such as C.G.Jung, Mozart, Hegel, Nietzsche, Rilke, Kafka and next to adepts such as Jakob Böhme, Papus, Eliphas Levi and Aleister Crowley to be the last of the major gnostics.
