19830119Los Angeles, Jeremy P. Tarcher / Houghton Miffin, 1983. First edition, second printing. Boldly signed by Nathaniel Branden on the first free endpaper (not a tip-in). In-4, 23 x 27 cm, 271 pp. Original dust jacket with flaps. Table of contents at the beginning. A small defect at the top of the DJ and at the bottom of the spine, otherwise VG. Pages are crisp and clear. Nathaniel Branden's Honoring the Self is a cornerstone of self-esteem psychology. The author was a long friend of Ayn Rand before launching his own, close yet unmistakably his, brand of worldview and knowledge of the human mind. "Tell me how a person judges his or her self-esteem," says pioneering psychologist Nathaniel Branden, "and I will tell you how that person operates at work, in love, in sex, in parenting, in every important aspect of existence--and how high he or she is likely to rise. The reputation you have with yourself--your self-esteem--is the single most important factor for a fulfilling life." (Inside flap)

1922546London, Constable & company, 1922. First edition, second impression. In-8 hardcover, 13.5 x 21.5 cm, (xix) 308 pp. Bound in full crimson cloth, book title and author's name on the spine. Ex-library, trace of a removed label on the bottom of the spine, library stamp on the title page and right after. Preface and Contents at the beginning of the book. First published by Hilaire Belloc in 1922, "The Jews" is a controversial work of political and social analysis that addresses the complex and often antagonistic relationship between Jewish communities and their "host" European nations. Belloc argues that this friction is an inherent "Jewish problem," stemming from the Jewish people's status as a distinct, unassimilable nation within other societies. However, Belloc is keen to show tactfulness throughout the book and attacks "anti-Semites" as "extravagant" and "ill-balanced."

"Crossing Cultures: Conflict, Migration and Convergence is an in-depth examination of the effect of globalism on art and art history. Covering all aspects of art—including traditional media, painting, sculpture, architecture and the crafts, as well as design, film, visual performance and new media—it explores the themes of conflict, migration and convergence in the visual, symbolic and artistic exchanges between cultures throughout history. Crossing Cultures is a compilation of the conference papers from the 32nd International Congress in the History of Art organized by the International Committee of the History of Art (CIHA), edited by conference convenor Professor Jaynie Anderson. This volume contains more than 200 papers presented at the congress by art historians from twenty-five countries, including Homi K Bhabha (Harvard University), Michael Brand (Director of the John Paul Getty Museum, Los Angeles), Marcia Langton (Chair of Australian Indigenous Studies, University of Melbourne), Ronald de Leeuw (Director of the Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam), Neil McGregor (Director of the British Museum, London) and Ruth B. Phillips (Canada Research Chair in Modern Culture and Professor of Art History, Carleton University, Ottawa). Never before has the state of art history in our polycentric world been demonstrated so well. Crossing Cultures encourages fresh thinking about global art history." (Abstract)

About this book: After the success of Liber Evthanasias Lvx’s release in 2021, the occult organization known as Gnosis 67 is back with Operation Blind Lord. This new opus can be seen either as a direct follow-up or companion book to LEL, delving deeper into the organization’s philosophy and praxis. Gnosis 67 is a Satanic current that originates in northeastern Brazil and represents an occult movement that connects martial practices, ceremonial rituals and the deep personal development of those who enter this path. Human beings live imprisoned without knowing it. They believe in an illusory freedom, but their steps and their life as a whole are manipulated according to current guidelines. To fulfill these, and exercise their social status quo, they are willing to carry out their activities automatically. Their thinking, their concepts, their ideas, do not make them question, they just lead them to walk aimlessly. The material world is a true labyrinth, with its varied paths, whether they are different ideologies, patterns of behavior, consumption preferences or moral and ethical concepts, inevitably reflecting on the microcosm of man, in his inner labyrinth. He is lost and astray, with no possibility of orientation. But there are also those who, differentiating themselves from the others, do not fit into this posture and actively rebel against this situation. These have an adversarial divine spark and have a feeling of repulsion against the world ordered by the demiurge. They are not satisfied with inhabiting a weak and limited flesh body and are the ones who have taken the first step towards their awakening, due to a gnostic predisposition, the result of multiple reincarnations seeking to free themselves from the chains that imprison them on the lower plane of matter. They embark on some form of confrontation, either in the material sphere, through social and political actions, or in the spiritual sphere, embracing different traditions in a way to meet their desire for freedom, to break the bonds of the wheel of reincarnations. Gnosis 67, like a corrosive force that enters the universe created by the false god, provokes actions that aim at the rupture of the current aeon and the acceleration of cosmic destruction. Extremist and violent action is necessary and for that it requires, in addition to immersion in pain, the daily practice of discipline. The forms of action vary according to the space/time in which they are applied, spreading the toxic nonconformity that triggers the virulent revolt in the environment within its reach. Any oppressive standards, whether moral or ethical, will be crushed by its warlike might. Collected in Operation Blind Lord are the doctrines and practices of the Gnosis 67, taken the form of rituals, meditations and invocations, and pushed forward through physical and mental self-discipline. It also details more of the organization’s inner workings, and what it’s required to establish a regional cell connected to the Gnosis.
