Description: Fantastik und Science-Fiction in der deutschsprachigen Literatur – das gibt es nicht erst seit dem 20. Jahrhundert. Die Autorinnen und Autoren dieses Bandes zeichnen anhand stilprägender Schriftsteller und ihrer Werke die Entwicklung des Genres vom 17. bis ins 21. Jahrhundert in allen literarischen Stilebenen sowie in der Umsetzung im Film nach. Dabei wird deutlich, dass die Leistung der populären Narrationen weit über ihren ästhetischen und unterhaltenden Wert hinausreicht, denn die Konfrontation des Menschen mit dem Fremden und dem (noch) Nichtmöglichen gestattet einen großen Erkenntnisgewinn – sowohl für die Gegenwart als auch für potenzielle Zukunftsfragen. Der Analyse zeitspezifisch aktueller (sozialer) Diskurse und des jeweiligen Verständnisses von der Zukunft kommt deshalb ebenfalls große Bedeutung zu.

Description: Waren die Götter Astronauten? Diese Position vertritt die Prä-Astronautik oder Paläo-SETI, eine grenzwissenschaftliche Laienforschung. Erich von Däniken ist auf diesem Gebiet der erfolgreichste Autor. Er behauptet, dass Außerirdische vor Urzeiten die Erde besucht und die Entwicklung der Menschheit beeinflusst haben. Sie seien als Götter verehrt worden, und Spuren ihres Wirkens fänden sich bis heute - würden aber von der Menschheit missverstanden. Das vorliegende Buch beschreibt die weltanschaulichen Grundannahmen, auf denen Dänikens Argumentation beruht.

Description: The Forbidden Hypothesis: A New Perspective on UFOs and Alien Abductions In this bold and provocative work, the author tackles the mystery of UFOs and alien abductions with a revolutionary approach, challenging the conventions of academic science and traditional ufology. The result of twenty years of research and supported by 290 sources, The Forbidden Hypothesis offers a fascinating reinterpretation of the UFO phenomenon, far removed from the benevolent clichés conveyed by certain trends. The author critiques the attitude of science, which, faced with its inability to decipher these phenomena, prefers to ridicule them rather than admit its limitations. Yet, the evidence is mounting: UFOs not only defy the laws of physics, they also affect the physical integrity of abduction victims and raise troubling questions about our reproductive processes. These implications, often downplayed, are at the heart of this book. Rather than focusing on the technical characteristics of UFOs—an approach doomed to failure in the face of technologically superior intelligence—the author explores the intentions of the occupants of these craft. Adopting an innovative scientific method, he reorganizes the data to reveal a sacrificial symbolism and an entomological approach to extraterrestrials, offering a bold reinterpretation of history, mythology, and archaeology. By going back in time, to a time when UFOs were less concealed, he illuminates their motivations and sheds light on a potentially threatening project. The book focuses particularly on alien abductions, events often dismissed by ufologists to preserve their credibility. This marginalization has given way to sectarian excesses, such as the CE5 movement, while academic science remains trapped in its conformism, attributing anomalies to natural explanations. Drawing inspiration from the philosophy of Thomas Kuhn, the author proposes to break this orthodoxy and establish a new framework of thought, allowing for a better understanding of the present in light of history and the various aspects of the phenomenon. Over 400 pages, The Forbidden Hypothesis warns against a naive view of extraterrestrials as ambassadors of peace. The testimonies of abductees reveal a contradiction between their words and their actions, suggesting manipulation. This book is both a rigorous study and a warning: ignoring the inherent danger of these interventions could have serious consequences for humanity. A must-read for ufology, history, and science enthusiasts, as well as for anyone wishing to explore a new perspective on one of the greatest mysteries of our time.

Description: This book adds to the scant academic literature investigating how comics transmit knowledge of the past and how this refraction of the past shapes our understanding of society and politics in sometimes damaging ways. The volume comes at these questions from a specifically archaeological perspective, foregrounding the representation and narrative use of material cultures. It fulfils its objectives through three reception studies in the first part of the volume and three chapters by comic creators in the second part. All six chapters aim to grapple with a set of central questions about the power inherent in drawn images of various kinds.

Description: The magical and spiritual uses of the seven sacred gemstones--diamond, sapphire, emerald, jasper, topaz, ruby, and amethyst • Explores each sacred gem’s effects on the seven facets of the soul and their corresponding virtues • Reveals their spiritual and therapeutic uses, the meaning of their colors, their ties to the chakras, and their historical use in amulets, talismans, and other magical tools • Outlines the basics of Seven Ray Science and the properties of each of the Seven Rays Taught solely in secret for millennia, the Science of the Seven Rays was introduced outside of the ancient mystery schools of Western and Hindu tradition by some of the great occultists of the late 19th and early 20th century: H. P. Blavatsky, Manly Hall, C. W. Leadbeater, and Alice Bailey. Based on the soul’s seven-faceted nature, the Seven Ray system underlies metaphysical traditions around the world through its connections with the seven musical notes in the scale, the seven days in the week, the seven chakras, the seven colors of the rainbow, and the seven sacred planets. Laying out the key principles behind this spiritual science, Michel Coquet explores the seven sacred gemstones of the Seven Rays--diamond, sapphire, emerald, jasper, topaz, ruby, and amethyst--and shows that not all precious stones have true mystical powers: they must be charged, either naturally or through ritual, with a living deva or angelic presence before they can effect spiritual transformation and physical, mental, and soul healing. Drawing on Hindu, Jewish, pre-Columbian, and Greco-Roman magical traditions with precious stones as well as their use by great initiates of history--including Hildegard von Bingen, Paracelsus, Cornelius Agrippa, Elias Ashmole, Nicholas Flamel, and the Count de Saint Germain--Coquet examines each sacred gem’s effects on the seven facets of the soul as well as their spiritual and therapeutic uses, the meaning of their colors, their influences on the chakras, and their use in amulets, talismans, and other magical tools. Illuminating techniques of invoking spirits into gemstones and reports of the power to enlarge diamonds at will, stones that produce anesthesia, and the use of gem medicines in India, Coquet reveals that while gems can influence our physical, mental, and spiritual well-being, without daily work toward a gem’s corresponding virtue, even a consecrated stone will have no effect, for the most beautiful gems are within.

Description: A comprehensive study of the major occult writings on Atlantis • Fully examines the many occult teachings on Atlantis, including those from G. I. Gurdjieff, Madame Blavatsky, Julius Evola, Edgar Cayce, Fabre d’Olivet, and Dion Fortune • Shows how these writings correlate with the concept of cyclical history, such as the Mayan calendar and 2012, the Age of Aquarius, and the four Yugas • By a renowned scholar, author, editor, and translator of more than 30 books Atlantis has held a perennial place in the collective imagination of humanity from ancient Greece onward. Many of the great minds of the occult and esoteric world wrote at length on their theories of Atlantis--about its high culture, its possible location, its ultimate demise, and their predictions of a return to Atlantean enlightenment or the downfall of modern society. Beginning with a review of the rationalist writings on Atlantis--those that use geographic and geologic data to validate their theories--renowned scholar Joscelyn Godwin then analyzes and compares writings on Atlantis from many of the great occultists and esotericists of the 19th and 20th centuries, including Fabre d’Olivet, G. I. Gurdjieff, Guido von List, Julius Evola, Edgar Cayce, Dion Fortune, and René Guénon, whose writings often stem from deeper, metaphysical sources, such as sacred texts, prophecy, or paranormal communication. Seeking to unravel and explain the histories and interpretations of Atlantis and its kindred myths of Lemuria and Mu, the author shows how these different views go hand-in-hand with the concept of cyclical history, such as the Vedic system of the four Yugas, the Mayan calendar with its 2012 end-date, the theosophical system of root races, and the precession of the equinoxes. Venturing broader and deeper than any other book on Atlantis, this study also covers reincarnation, human evolution or devolution, the origins of race, and catastrophe theory.
