I think I've reached the point that I'm convinced enough of the reality of the ET presence and I'm not going to deny it and shy away from it. It is time to open this up to the public." - Edgar Mitchell<br /> <br /> Interesting eight book archive from the personal collection of Astronaut and Moonwalker Edgar Mitchell. All books on the subject of psychic exploration which Mitchell was famously involved in. Late in 1973 and early 1974 Mitchell co-founded the Institute for Noetic Science. The Institute conducts research on topics such as spontaneous remission meditation consciousness alternative healing practices consciousness-based healthcare spirituality human potential psychic abilities psychokinesis and survival of consciousness after bodily death. Edgar Mitchell was widely recognized for his public stance on the existence of UFO's and the powers of the mind. He believed that the bridging of science and the power of the human mind represented the key to our discovering the worlds outside our own. The subject of Noetic Science has flourished of late thanks to it's use in Dan Brown's "The Lost Symbol" which was published in 2009. No longer considered "fringe" science by most Mitchell was one of the early believers in the powers of meditation and collective thought. <br /> <br /> Archive Includes:<br /> 1 Gill Joseph - The Great Pyramid Speaks to You Philosophical Library 1984 - SIGNED TO EDGAR MITCHELL BY AUTHOR<br /> 2 Gignous Jane Hughes - Some Folk Say: Stories of Life Death and Beyond FoulktTale Publishing 1998 - SIGNED TO EDGAR MITCHELL BY AUTHOR<br /> 3 Friedman Norman - Bridging Science and Spirtit Living Lake Books 1994 Revised Edition - SIGNED TO EDGAR MITCHELL BY AUTHOR<br /> 4 Mayur Ed.

Written at various times and for various occasions I was sometimes moved by the one sometimes by the other. One essay will appear in consequence to contradict another. This seems unavoidable but apology is offered for the gymnastics to which the reader is compelled. After all life is full of these apparent contradictions and a robust mind is one that is not disturbed thereby."</p> Cassell & Co., LTD. & Francis Walterson, hardcover

192424032450Ditchling Sussex: S. Dominic's Press 1924. Limited Edition. Hardcover. Very good . Gill Eric. One of 150 copies folio size 40 pp. Eric Gill 1882-1940 English sculptor typographer illustrator and printmaker is perhaps best known for his wood engravings; his work is characterised by sensual line work and elegant characters with a deep spirituality. <br /> <br /> This volume appears to be one of the first attempts to compile Gill's work in a single volume; however per Evan Gill's bibliography it "was prepared and published entirely without Gill's knowledge and consent." p. 162. As always seeing Gill's work with the depth and texture of an engraving is so very different from seeing an offset- or digitally-printed version; this work contains a wonderful selection of his early work with his talent already in its full glory. <br /> <br /> The work contains a total of thirty-eight of Gill's engravings including those done jointly with David Jones. Note that the list is given on the Contents page but does not call out that there are two engravings on the title page and four on p. 28. <br /> <br /> ___DESCRIPTION: Bound in full natural linen cloth over boards title page in red and black with two of the thirty-eight engravings a hand-made notation in the second sentence of the title which apparently was made to all copies as other online listings have the same correction noted limitation statement following the title page issued in an edition of 150 copies this no. 83 each engraving on the rectos only vintage bookseller ticket on the rear pastedown Phillip C. Duschenes New York; binding folio size 12 1/2" by 10" pagination: ii 36 leaves 2 printed recto only. <br /> <br /> ___CONDITION: Somewhat better than very good the front board clean the corners gently bumped with the linen cloth just beginning to rub a strong square text block with solid hinges and entirely free of prior owner markings; some foxing and a small spot of soil on the back board some foxing throughout and on some pages some marks which appear to be offsetting which fortunately do not intrude upon the engravings. Lacking the very scarce dust wrapper. <br /> <br /> ___CITATIONS: Taylor & Sewell no.

191531856AB1915. First Edition. London - Hammersmith Published at The Hampshire House Workshops 1915. Octavo. Frontispiece 125 pages with woodcuts throughout the publication. Hardcover / Original publisher's illustrated Hardcover in protective Mylar. Very good condition with only minor signs of wear. Hilary Pepler also known as Douglas Pepler was born at Eastbourne to a Quaker family and educated at Bootham School. After school he tried several occupations including land surveying the tea trade and engineering. In the early 1900s Pepler moved to Hammersmith London with his wife Clare Whiteman and obtained employment with London City Council in the department of child-care. He developed an interest in social theory and how to improve the lives of working people in the face of industrialisation writing several tracts on the subject. On a practical level he was instrumental in the introduction of free school meals; by any standards a very considerable achievement. His experience of Social Work however left him skeptical as to the ultimate value of such initiatives and most inclined to support self-help as a better means of eradicating poverty. Hammersmith at the time was something of an Arts and Crafts enclave and Pepler became deeply involved in the movement and the socialist politics of Fabianism. He soon became friends with Edward Johnston later meeting Eric Gill. These three formed a close bond spending many hours debating social and artistic issues. Pepler with Susan and Stephen 1916. Notwithstanding Gills move to Ditchling in 1907 Pepler continued to develop his ideas and maintained contact. One major initiative that he was involved in was founding the Hampshire House Club in 1907 a working mens club in Hammersmith with a strong political and didactic agenda. When war broke out the organisation was used as a basis to organise workshop facilities for refugee Belgian craftsmen in a structure not unlike what the Guild was to become. Indeed lessons learnt from this experience were to inform the way the Guild was set up. Another major project for Pepler was writing The Devils Devices which was published in 1915 by Hampshire House itself. It is a satire not just opposing capitalism and industrialisation but also Trade Unionism Government and even general education which he sees as an unnecessary distraction in the lives of the working classes. He gives support to the Distributist ideas of small workshops owned by the workers as the preferable mode of economic entity but goes beyond most thinkers by declaring everything else being the work of the devil. What he seems to be proposing borders on a benign form of anarchy with no central provision and his views have obviously moved a long way beyond what could be appropriate for an official with LCC. It is of little surprise that he was by now looking for different employment. Source: The Guild of St.Joseph and St. Dominic hardcover
