One of the most fascinating topics found in the readings of famed psychic Edgar Cayce (1877-1945) revealed the existence of a sacred sect called the Essenes. His information about the Essenes would later be confirmed by the discovery of the Dead Sea Scrolls two years after his death. Cayce's readings contained more than a description of who the Essenes were and their purpose in bringing the Christ into the earth, he gave us details about their lives and past lives!

Von Glück zu sprechen, bedeutet, von einer Illusion zu sprechen, von einem Lebensziel, etwas so Wünschenswertem wie auch Vergänglichem, zumindest wenn man an das idealisierte ”Glück” denkt, das durch Werbung, Fernsehen oder Radio verkauft wird. Aber Glück ist viel mehr als das Erreichen des gewünschten Ziels, es ist eine tägliche Arbeit, diesen Zustand aufrechtzuerhalten. Denn was nützt es, das Glücklichsein zu erreichen, wenn es dann wieder vergeht? Von Glück zu sprechen, bedeutet, von einer...

Hablar de felicidad es hacerlo de una ilusión, una meta en la vida, algo tan deseable a la vez que efímero, al menos si se piensa en la ”felicidad” idealizada que se vende a través de los comerciales, la televisión o la radio, pero la felicidad es mucho más que alcanzar esa meta deseada, es un trabajo diario por mantener ese estado, sino ¿De qué serviría alcanzar la felicidad si luego se pierde?

A szexuális segédeszközök, vagyis az erotikus játékok nem számítanak újdonságnak. Hosszú múltjuk van, amely a péniszre emlékeztető tárgyakkal kezdődik.

A fent említett népek közül néhány (például a görögök) a szexistenek és a szexistennők kultuszát gyakorolták, a szertartásokon erkölcstelen cselekedeteket...
