Catalyst of Miracles
Culled from the Festschrift articles collected for Claudio Naranjo's 70th birthday, this generous collection includes personal memoirs and reminiscences going back to his school days in Chile; testimonies on meetings and activities from the consciousness-raising group, Seekers After Truth; and professional articles by a wealth of Claudio's colleagues. A goldmine of biographical, professional, and personal information on one of the surviving pioneers of the Human Potential Movement in the United States, this historical account presents an inside look at a man whose spiritual ideas and therapeutic techniques crossed a multitude of borders and boundaries in order to touch people's lives.
Cannabis and the Soma Solution
Seeking to identify the plant origins of the early sacramental beverages Soma and Haoma, this study draws a connection between the psychoactive properties of these drinks and the widespread use of cannabis among Indo-Europeans during this time.

Further book series of the Maimonides Centre for Advanced Studies are Jewish Thought, Philosophy, and Religion and the Yearbook of the Maimonides Centre for Advances Studies.
Religion of the Gods
In many of the world's religions, both polytheistic and monotheistic, a seemingly enigmatic and paradoxical image is found--that of the god who worships. Various interpretations of this seeming paradox have been advanced. Some suggest that it represents sacrifice to a higher deity. Proponents of anthropomorphic projection say that the gods are just "big people" and that images of human religious action are simply projected onto the deities. However, such explanations do not do justice to the complexity and diversity of this phenomenon. In Religion of the Gods, Kimberley C.
