This book offers the most important and practical concepts known to me in the fewest number of pages, written to be understood by anyone with an open mind.

Its goal is to provide an organized sequential overview of our "situation" regarding metaphysics, cosmology, human origins, aliens, the Control System, the Shift, and how to empower ourselves spiritually. I end with a finely honed list of books for further study.

Topics Covered:

If aliens revealed themselves to the world, how would we know they were friendly? Would it be enough for them to arrive without violence, offer gifts of scientific knowledge, and guide us toward achieving global peace and unity? Not necessarily. Hostile aliens may disguise themselves as friendly helpers to capture our hearts before ensnaring our minds and souls. If we are to be ready for contact, we must acquire discernment to see through such deception. This book paves the way.

Alchemy manuscript from 1831, faithfully transcribed from the original, with a new introduction.

Zadkiel gives an exceptionally lucid and concise rendition of the Alchemical tradition in the spirit of Fulcanelli, Cyliani, I.C.H., Philalethes, Sendivogius, and the anonymous works La Clef du Cabinet Hermétique and Les Récréations Hermétique.

Featured in this manuscript is Zadkiel’s essay, “The Philosopher’s Stone,” published as two parts in The Familiar Astrologer (1831), which was a compendium of arcane writings compiled by influential occultist Robert Cross Smith (1795-1832) under the pseudonym “Raphael.”

Zadkiel himself was a pseudonym of John Palmer (1807-1837), a young adept of the Art who allegedly studied at the Institut de France under the Nicolas Vauquelin, the famed chemist who discovered the elements chrome and beryllium. After Smith’s death, Palmer continued his legacy as Raphael.

Presented here is Palmer’s essay, faithfully transcribed from the original source and typeset in a font reminiscent of its original presentation.

Included is an introduction by the editor (Montalk) summarizing the first stage of the Work: the preparation of the matter.

This concise text is boldly informative for anyone interested in the Art.
