We also cover the feline deities associated to the Sphinx: Sekhmet, Bastet, Ruty, Aker, etc.

This Upanishad is not listed in the Muktika Canon of 108 Upanishads, but is found in the Adyar edition in sanskrit. It is suprisingly powerful, archaic in style, and in our opinion, one of the very greatest Upanishads.

En todas las culturas en donde la celebración de rituales religiosos no se ha centralizado con los templos como lugares de adoración fija en una determinada locación geográfica, sucede que el chaman sirve de guía e instructor de la cultura espiritual del grupo, ya que experimentan su religión y evolución espiritual de forma personal, sea por sueños, visiones, o trances extáticos. El chamán es aquella persona distinguida de las demás por experimentar sueños, visiones, y éxtasis religiosos que le ponen en contacto directo con el Ser Supremo o con Sus emisarios, y debido a este don particular, normalmente adquiere prestigio y jerarquía en el grupo debido a que interpreta las visiones y guía a quienes no poseen la aptitud hermenéutica. Antes de entrar en algunos aspectos del chamanismo de los Fueguinos, debemos tener en cuenta que chamanismo no es lo mismo que hechicería y magia. A pesar de que muchas veces observamos una fusión entre creencias mágicas y supersticiones atadas al chamanismo, el estudio serio y detallado de la actividad de los chamanes alrededor del mundo revela que su verdadero fundamento es el trance o éxtasis religioso por el cual el alma humana se pone en contacto con la Divinidad en alguna de sus expresiones arquetípicas. Una de sus características fundamentales, además, es su carácter monoteísta: el chamanismo se destaca por celebrar un contacto con el Ser Supremo, o sea, por entablar una relación personal con Dios, y esa relación es lo que sirve de eje vital a toda la cultura chamánica, sea que hablemos de mitología, ritual, indumentaria, bailes, cánticos, pinturas corporales, etc. Cualquiera de las técnicas, instrumentos y parafernalia del chamán tienen como objetivo final auxiliar a la persona elegida " holy-man " para inducir el trance religioso, la visión espiritual y religiosa.

Part II is focused on North American Indians and their widespread worship of a Supreme God. Following the work of Wilhelm Schmidt and the discovery of Monotheism in primitive material cultures around the world, we expose various examples and refer directly to the censorship imposed by evolutionist on the fact of Primitive Monotheism and its implications to human sciences, specifically Ethnology or Cultural Anthroplogy.

We also look ate the Zodiac Ages set by the precession of the equinoxes, the girating Solar Cross. The so-called "zodiac signs" are mistakenly dated in modern horoscopes which do not factor in the precession of the equinoxes.

Here we teach the reader how to predict eclipses and we use Stonehenge as an example of how the Draconic Cycle was known in Prehistory, allowing for Eclipse prediction.

I) Mathematical and Astronomical
II) Psychological, reffering to brain functions of the right and left hemispheres with a "crossing" with the "solar" and "lunar" eyes.
III) Spiritual, reffering to a holy vision of Unity as a combination of both.
In this paper we revise these symbolisms with the aid of comparative religion and archetypal symbolism.

We make some analogies between notions of a " netherworld " (Hades/Duat) between greek and egyptian spiritual culture and focus on the concept of a psychic dimension of consciousness which is beyond sensorial awareness.
