This supplement to the author's study of Indo-European cosmology employs ancient insights to illuminate the sacrificial, theurgic, and gnostic systems developed by the Japhetic Aryans and the Hamitic Egyptians, Sumerians, and later Indians. The original yogic understanding of the macrocosmic dimension of the human microcosm informs both Vedic fire-rituals and later Agamic temple-rituals, as they focus on the solar force present in ritual fire, divine idols, and human devotees. A consistent picture emerges of the seemingly diverse religions of the Indo-Europeans. This work should interest all students of Hinduism, the religions of the ancient Near East, and the spiritual culture of the Indo-Europeans.

Europa presents, to the modern reader, the foreign political thought of four major German conservatives from the crucial period between the Second Reich and the Second World War. The texts chosen reveal the spiritual and cultural motives, of German conservatives at the turn of the century, that inspired expansionist policies and the consistent opposition to the Jewish financial rule. The lack of German translations of these important texts so far has clearly been a disadvantage to the modern historian in his assessment of the philosophical significance of the Conservative, as well as of the National Socialist, foreign political ideology.

Focusing on the cosmological and religious themes of Indic and European spiritual traditions, this collection of essays builds upon Alexander Jacob's previous works. It presents a broader interpretation of 'Indo-European' compared to the more limited 'Aryan' term, challenging conventional views tied to nationalism. Instead, it emphasizes spiritual discipline and development as key aspects of the Indo-European religions, revealing a rich diversity within this cultural lineage. The essays offer insights into the evolution of these spiritual practices and their significance.

This pioneering reconstruction of the solar cosmology of the ancient Indo-Europeans is based on the literary evidence of the Puranas, the Vedas, the Brahmanas, the Avesta, the records of the religions of Egypt, Sumer, Akkad, Assyria and the Hurrians, as well as the earliest theogonies of the Hittites, the proto-Stoic and Orphic Greeks, and the ancient Germans. The judicious collation of these documents reveals to us, for the first time, the extraordinary spiritual vision - of the creation as well as of the course of the cosmos - which informs the religion of the ancients. The organic correspondence between the macrocosm and the human microcosm that emerges in the course of this study also provides the key to the proper understanding of the esoteric philosophy of the Indians. This work should therefore be of vital interest to all students of the religion and mythology of the ancient Near East as well as to those of Indian and Greek philosophy.

Exploring the evolution of aristocratic philosophy from ancient Greece to the early twentieth century, this work challenges the prevailing belief in liberal democracy as the sole socio-political system. It traces the contributions of key thinkers, including Plato, Aristotle, and later nationalist philosophers, while highlighting the historical roots of European civilization in aristocratic ideals. The study also addresses the troubling transformation of these philosophies into racist elitism in nineteenth-century Germany, shedding light on topics often overlooked in contemporary discourse.

In this thought-provoking work of political and cultural analysis, Jacob Alexander explores the relationship between Zionism, the Jewish national liberation movement, and the Jewish communities of North America and Western Europe. Drawing on a wide range of historical and sociological evidence, he argues that Zionism has had profound and often controversial implications for the identity, politics, and culture of Western Jewry. This book is a must-read for anyone interested in the ongoing debate about the future of the Jewish people and their relationship with the State of Israel.

Die Arbeit fokussiert sich auf die Entwicklung eines Produkt- und Fertigungstechnologiemodells, das eine wiederholbare Analyse für die Planung alternativer Fertigungstechnologieketten ermöglicht. Durch ein multikriterielles Entscheidungsverfahren wird die optimale Technologiekette ausgewählt, die als Grundlage für eine iterative Optimierung dient. Dabei werden Produktanforderungen und Technologiefähigkeiten identifiziert und angepasst, um neue, wirtschaftlich und technisch optimale Technologieketten zu generieren. Dieser iterative Prozess führt zu einem umfassenden Optimierungsbaum, der die Effizienz in der Produktentwicklung steigert.

The significance of the Holy Grail, often misunderstood by scholars focused on Western European sources, is rooted in its Celtic origins. The narrative of the Grail has transformed through various Middle Ages romances, leading to complex interpretations. This book explores these metamorphoses, shedding light on the Grail's deeper meanings beyond the conventional literary analysis, offering a fresh perspective on its cultural and historical importance.

Band 3 der Ostdeutschen Wappenrolle. Eine Wappensammlung von vorwiegend neu angenommenen Familienwappen aus Deutschland, Österreich und der Schweiz. Mit dem Ende der Heroldsämter, welche sich vor allem um Adels- und Wappenangelegenheiten kümmerten, sind andere Institutionen, meist Vereine, an deren Stelle getreten. Die Wappenrolle prüft das einzutragende Wappen nach heraldischen Kriterien wie Wappenwahrheit, Wappenklarheit, Wappenausschließlichkeit und kümmert sich um die Dokumentation und Veröffentlichung des Wappens. Die Eintragung eines Wappens dient der Sicherheit der wappenführenden Familie, dass es sich bei dem Zeichen auch um ein wirkliches Wappen handelt.
