Key features of the book are: A consideration of numbers as primal forces and powers forming the shape of the material world. An examination of the history and meaning of ancient serpent symbolism. A discussion of the Kabbalah. A study of healing forces and alchemical processes manifest in the physical dimension. Richly illustrated, paperback.

Authors Guild Human Authored Certification 6334200 "[This book] meshes several disciplines to make a case for why we should look beyond what we can see to access a higher, deeper, and better plane of living. With some alchemy, philosophy, Christianity, science, and even history (Egyptian and Hebrew), readers get a lot of food for thought in just a little over 100 pages." Soul Window.Com
