The world of esport simply does not use the potential for human development that esport gives us. How can we understand the potential that esport has for psychological development?

In this useful little book some interesting details are given as to the method and history of crystal gazing. The author thinks the injunctions to be found in the Laws of Manu and elsewhere, not to look into deep water, are meant to suggest its dangers. He has collected a large amount of material from many different countries, and from ancient, mediaeval and modern times—material which might be made extremely useful if some person of genius could be found to pursue the task of organization and explanation. The subject is surrounded with difficulties, and perhaps it is just as well that we do not understand the meaning and object of some of the incantations given, although they are quaint and interesting from a historical point of view. Perhaps it would simplify matters if we realized that crystals, ink, etc., are means which enable some clairvoyants to see, who would not otherwise be able to do so, just as some people cannot see without spectacles of a particular kind. Spectacles cannot give sight to the blind, but they can enable some people to use their sight who would imagine themselves to be blind if they had never had the opportunity of using spectacles. They can also help some people who see already to see more clearly. Certainly it is very important that the knowledge should spread in the world that there is such a thing as clairvoyant sight, for there are no doubt many persons still who are unaware that it exists. Mr. Thomas himself is apparently not yet convinced that there is such a thing, for he tells us in Thought Transference, p. 43, that the evidence for its existence is very slight. He treats crystal gazing as a subject in itself, not necessarily connected with other forms of clairvoyance, and he wishes to collect well authenticated material in regard to it.

Should any uninstructed person who might chance upon Basil Valentine's ''Triumphal Chariot of Antimony " undertake to read that work, he would probably be mystified by much of its contents, by its references to the Spagyric art, to the grand Magisterium, the true and universal Medicine, the Tinctures which transmute metals, with other unknown quantities and other deep mysteries which make part of the Sacramentum Regis. But if he were asked what he thought of Basil Valentine in his historical and personal character, it is unlikely that he would suppose for a moment the existence of any romantic mystery encompassing the mere life of the man. He would regard him as a pious Benedictine monk, uncommonly well versed for his period in certain departments of experimental and medical chemistry, and, perhaps, as a bizarre speculator in the cloudy borderlands of physical science ; but such biographical data as can be gathered concerning him from his writings, he would naturally accept without question, because there would be no ground for assuming any reason to doubt them. Yet even as such a person would be mistaken in his estimate of Valentine the alchemist, as distinguished from Valentine the investigator of antimonial therapeutics, so it is just possible that he would be astray in his estimate of the man, being misled by a veil of simplicity which skilfully conceals the adept under the unpretending mask of a monastic canon.

Der Auftakt der neunten Staffel! Sie wurden als Tötungsmaschinen geschaffen. Die Jem'Hadar sind eine hochintelligente, einfallsreiche, und trügerisch komplexe Spezies, die für den Krieg konstruiert und auf genetischer Ebene für einen einzigen Zweck programmiert wurde: bis zum Tod als Soldaten eines sich ausdehnenden Imperiums namens Dominion zu kämpfen. Kein Jem'Hadar hat je länger als dreißig Jahre gelebt, und nicht einmal ihre Herren, die formwandelnden Gründer, wissen, zu welcher Entwicklung eine solche Kreatur fähig wäre, wenn man sie aus ihrem Soldatendienst befreien würde. Doch ein Gründer hat es gewagt, sich diese Frage zu stellen. Odo selbst hat ihn auserwählt, um an Bord von Deep Space 9 friedliche Koexistenz zu lernen: Taran'atar, ein Ehrwürdiger Älterer der Jem'Hadar. Monatelang war er der Besatzung der Station ein treuer, wenn auch konfliktbelasteter, Verbündeter, der stets damit rang, die Mission zu verstehen, auf die er geschickt wurde ... bis etwas schrecklich schiefging. Von Selbstzweifeln und stetig wachsender Wut zerfressen, hat sich Taran'atar gegen diejenigen gewandt, die er zu unterstützen schwor. Während Captain Kira Nerys und Lieutenant Ro Laren in der Krankenstation von DS9 mit dem Tod kämpfen, flieht ihr Angreifer mit einer Geisel in cardassianischen Raum. Commander Elias Vaughn verfolgt ihn mit der U.S.S. Defiant. Doch im Laufe dieser Jagd wird Taran'atars wahres Ziel immer schleierhafter, denn der abtrunnige Jem'Hadar führt die Defiant zu einer Entdeckung, die noch schockierender ist, als sein Verbrechen.

Although the general purpose of this book is unitary, in the broad sense, its various studies and interpretations are quite unlike. They touch upon different aspects of life, and their mutual relation is mainly below the surface. The particular order in which they receive attention is therefore of no consequence. A few of them, subject to considerable revision, have appeared in various magazines. The underlying motif of the author is constructive and not iconoclastic. It is by the positive light of Truth that the shades of error are to be dissipated. There is a deep spiritual hunger among men, the nature of which is often not clearly discerned, and this is the real cause of a universal restlessness. This craving cannot be satisfied upon the plane where the search is most generally made. The higher nature must receive proper sustenance, and failing in that, no physical, intellectual or ethical redundancy can make good such a radical incompleteness. There is a general though mainly a blind quest for the normal divine counterpart which alone can round out the vital necessities of the human constitution. Such a demand is a positive prophecy of supply.

Iliana Ghemor, die cardassianische Agentin, wurde vor Jahren körperlich und geistig verändert, um Kira Nerys zu ersetzen. Sie träumt davon, eine Prophezeiung zu erfüllen, laut der sie die einzig wahre Abgesandte des Spiegeluniversums sein wird - eine Messias-Figur, die ihre Jünger in eine Ära der erneuerten Hoffnung führen könnte ... oder in ein Zeitalter der zunehmenden Dunkelheit. Ghemors Anspruch auf den Titel der Abgesandten ist allerdings keinesfalls sicher, da der unaufhaltsame Sog der Vorsehung auch andere Seelen in den Strudel der Propheten zieht, jenen fernen und zeitlosen Wesen, die diese seltsamen Ereignisse in Bewegung setzten. Doch es steht mehr auf dem Spiel, als sich irgendjemand vorstellen kann: Der Ausgang dieses Kampfes um das Schicksal eines Universums wird auch in vielen anderen Universen Wellen schlagen. Aus ihm wird der Schlüssel werden, um eine Zukunft zu enthüllen, die sich als die bisher schwerste Prüfung für die Helden der Raumstation Deep Space 9 herausstellen wird.

The reader who would reach to motives and inspirations, who would seek to understand the subtle and secret forces that have moved all history, it would be difiicult to name a work of greater interest or value than this. To the rarer reader who has come upon traces of an undying tradition--a Hidden Church or Wisdom--the book will be a very revelation. The Graal legend, even as it is known to the general reader, woven into the Arthurian epic, is one of rarest beauty and most profound meaning. But when its rich symbolism is revealed in full, the signicance of the great quest, in the which pure-miuded and self-sacricing valor is alone successful---the 'magnitude of meaning is made evident. Perhaps no other man living is so well fitted as Mr. Waite to approach this subject. Under the ruder methods of materialistic critics the delicate beauty and subtle meanings would be lost. Our author combines the grasp of scholarship with the sympathetic attitude and the deep-lying knowledge of hidden things. From the Contents: Preface Book I - The Roots Of The House Of Meaning Book II - Mysteries Of The Holy Graal In Manifestation And Removal Book III - The Early Epochs Of The Quest Book IV - The Lesser Chronicles Of The Holt Graal Book V - The Greater Chronicles Of The Holy Graal Book VI - The German Cycle Of The Holy Graal Book VII - The Holy Graal In The Light Of The Celtic Church Book VIII - Mystic Aspects Of The Graal Legend Book IX - Secret Tradition In Christian Times Book X - The Secret Church
