The Unknown Kingdom, Revelations of Shambhala, The Himalayan Journals of M.G. Hawking

About The Unknown Kingdom, Revelations of Shambhala, The Himalayan Journals of M.G. Hawking:

Discover the Unknown Kingdom. You are invited to take an unprecedented journey into a fabled world to explore ancient knowledge virtually unknown to the modern world. Sweeping in an immense arc across South Asia is the Great Himalayan Range, an uninterrupted 1,500 mile crescent of mountains with over 110 peaks rising to elevations of 25,000 feet or more. Extending from Kashmir’s 26,600 foot Naga Parbat through Tibet’s 25,445 foot Namcha Barwa, the vast frozen fortress of the Himalaya cradles the most isolated areas of Earth’s landmass. Yawning gorges as deep as 16,000 feet and ice peaks towering over five miles high shelter remote, lushly forested valleys.
For thousands of years, the largely inaccessible inner portion of this wilderness has been known in esoteric literature as the Great White Island, and has inspired countless stories and legends that it conceals a kingdom of great masters possessed of transcendent wisdom and power.
Years ago, on an extended trek into the remote inner range of the Himalaya, explorer M.G. Hawking chanced on a small valley deep in the wilderness. Surrounded by towering ice peaks, he encountered a beautiful village, a mysterious realm referred to by its residents as Siddhalaya. Siddha, in Sanskrit, denotes a high adept or master; alaya means the abode of—for Siddhalaya is said to be the ‘Kingdom of the Masters.’
Hawking’s discovery marked the beginning of a series of extraordinary encounters and experiences. In that isolated community he had the privilege of meeting a number of remarkable men and women—introduced to him as ‘masters’ and ‘sages’—possessed of wisdom, knowledge and power virtually unknown in the Western world.
Transcribed directly from the journals and field notes Hawking recorded of his encounters with these sages, this book contains detailed narratives of his experiences and conversations, providing detailed, first-hand accounts of their esoteric knowledge and power. As entertaining as it is enlightening, this is an incomparable read for anyone on a spiritual path or seeking expanded knowledge and personal power. 2023 Edition Kindle Unlimited book, e-reader page count 320.

Ancient Egypt, Secrets from the Manuscript of Master Kalika-Khenmetaten, circa 1370 B.C., by M.G. Hawking

About Ancient Egypt, Secrets from the Manuscript of Master Kalika-Khenmetaten, circa 1370 B.C., by M.G. Hawking:

Discover the profound secret knowledge of the Egyptian Master Kalika-Khenmetaten, who lived and authored her manuscript ‘The Golden Crown’ under the patronage of the Kings of Egypt, Amenhotep III and his successor Amenhotep IV (Akhenaten), over three-thousand-three-hundred years ago.
Kalika produced this esoteric manuscript for important reasons. It is to some extent a manual, a comprehensive guide to reaching higher awareness, written by a supreme master for masters, but not only for masters. Kalika intended that it could be utilized by persons of requisite ability to understand and reach, through their own efforts, significantly expanded levels of awareness. It sets forth the fundamental recognitions and essential principles of consciousness necessary to attain extraordinary perceptive abilities and personal powers.
Author’s Note: “I have endeavored in this book to accomplish the last part of an assignment which I accepted many years ago, to compose an in-depth account of what we know of Kalika-Khenmetaten and her brilliant writings. I wish to tell as much as I can of the contributions her genius has made to the heritage of mankind, and to chronicle and contemplate, in their causes and results, the wisdom of her philosophy and the achievements of her art. However, many years of effort have made it clear that no one mind, and no single lifetime, can adequately encompass this task simply because the story of Kalika is one of the most epic in history and her writings reveal the great knowledge and power of the masters of distant ages.”
Excerpt from ‘The Golden Crown’: “Throughout our land, I see men plowing, fishing, toiling, disputing, cheating and being cheated, running after gold or pleasure; each surrounded by a cloud of hopes, fears, illusions, follies, and hates; believing that gods and fate spin the web of life for each human atom, and each in turn waiting to be drawn away by the messenger of death. Men do not realize their own divinity or true nature, yet it lives within them, ever acting on each experience of their life. Were they to recognize this, they would find that their True Self hovers ever about them, like a magnificent angel, holding in her outstretched hands a priceless Golden Crown. Were they to reach out and take that Golden Crown, it would make each man who does so a Prince, each woman a Princess.” —Kalika-Khenmetaten (circa 1370 B.C.)
The material in this book, owing to its nature and depth, will if allowed come to take on a profound life of its own. The knowledge of Kalika-Khenmetaten offers the illumination, guidance and principles which, if studied with patience and fully integrated into your core belief system, will lay the foundation necessary to enable you to acquire remarkable abilities. A truly incomparable book for anyone on a spiritual path and seeking expanded knowledge and personal power. 2020 Edition, e-reader page count 298 (estimated, actual count varies depending on the reading device used).

In The Valley of Supreme Masters, A Chronicle of Power by M.G. Hawking

About In The Valley of Supreme Masters, A Chronicle of Power by M.G. Hawking:

Journey into a fabled hidden world deep in the Himalayan mountains of Nepal to experience a series of remarkable adventures and explore the powerful esoteric knowledge that existed several thousand years prior to the arrival of Buddhism. Cradling the most isolated area of Earth’s landmass, through the ages the remote inner region of Nepal’s Great Himalayan Range has inspired countless legends of a hidden sanctuary of great masters.
Although arising from sources greatly separated both geographically and chronologically, the legends are remarkably consistent. The scriptures of the 4000 year-old Zhang Zhung culture are thought to be the earliest extant references, yet the same hidden realm is represented in many ancient traditions; the pre-Buddhist B’on treaties of Nepal, texts of the Kalki lore, the Puranas, and in the even more ancient Kalachakra Mulatantra (c. 900 BC). The B’on treaties refer to the hidden sanctuary as Olmolungring, Hindu histories as Aryavarth, Chinese as Hsi Tien, and Russian traditions as Belovoyde.
On an extended trek in a remote area of Nepal’s vast Himalayan wilderness, explorer M.G. Hawking chanced on an unexpected find. In a valley surrounded by towering ice peaks he came upon a small village where he encountered remarkable men and women—introduced to him as “masters” and “adepts”—possessed of knowledge and powers virtually unknown to the Western world.
The accounts presented in this book are transcribed from Hawking’s journals and field notes of his experiences and conversations with the masters he encountered, revealing their explanations of the true psycho-physical unity of “reality,” the essential principles of consciousness, and the specific practices that convey extraordinary abilities.
While it’s possible to read this book as a collection of adventures and extraordinary experiences, a deeper reading reveals it to be an account of a spiritual journey, an exploration of the true nature of reality, and an in-depth account of the vast powers by which masters manipulate what we call “reality.” Magical, enlightening, and richly entertaining, this narrative will stay with you forever.
An incomparable book for anyone on a spiritual path or seeking greater knowledge and personal power. 2021 Edition, e-reader page count 728 (estimated, actual count varies with the reading device used). Includes a Supplemental Section with excerpts from companion volumes. For more information, please see the book’s Amazon page. Thank you.

Encounters with the Celestials, The Living Part of a Timeless Legend by M.G. Hawking

About Encounters with the Celestials, The Living Part of a Timeless Legend by M.G. Hawking:

Explore the Realities of a Compelling Ancient Legend. The creation stories and wisdom traditions of civilizations worldwide relate that their progenitors came from the stars, the sky, or the heavens.
Native Americans recount that their antecedents were the “Sky People” and “Star Beings.” The builders of Teotihuacan describe their gods as having descended from the heavens. Egyptian texts speak of their “bringers of knowledge” coming from Sahu and Sopdit (Orion and Sirius) in a “cosmic egg radiating colored light.” The pre-Tibetan Zhang Zhung, the Maya, the pre-Incans, the Sumerians, and so many others, all express essentially the same account in diverse symbolic languages—their ancestors came from the stars, bringing advanced knowledge and the gift of civilization. These cultures were greatly separated both geographically and chronologically, yet their creation stories are strikingly similar. What could explain this?
Throughout Nepal, Tibet, Bhutan and the Himalayan regions of India, there has endured an extraordinary legend of the Ri-iha-mo, the celestials or “mountain goddesses” who, having arrived from “another world” in antediluvian times, still dwell in a concealed inner region of the immense frozen fortress of the Great Himalayan Range.
Transcribed directly from the archived journals of explorer M.G. Hawking’s sixty-two months in the Himalayan regions of Nepal, this book contains detailed descriptions of three encounters Hawking and his companions experienced with what they believe were these fabled mountain goddesses, providing unprecedented accounts of the remarkable knowledge they revealed.
During Hawking’s encounters with the Ri-iha-mo, they disclosed profound revelations about our Universe, our planet, and our true nature, revelations that can greatly assist in understanding ourselves, our world, and our role and power in creating precisely the life we desire.
From the Author: “The knowledge expressed in this book is an intensely profound thing that one hopes will have relevance to others, will offer them insight and guidance, will greatly increase their personal knowledge and power, and be validated by their experience. As the insights expressed by the Ri-iha-mo arise from a culture and civilization several million years in advance of our own, it deserves our most careful consideration.”
An unprecedented account that is thought provoking and richly enlightening, this book will remain in your heart and mind long after the last words have been read. 2023 Edition, e-reader page count 348. Includes chapters on ‘Visualization Practice’, ‘The Great Mysteries of Ancient Egypt’, ‘Evolving an Understanding of the Living Universe’, ‘Moving Toward a New World View’, and ‘Critiques and Additional Thoughts’.

Earth’s First Civilization, Antarctica, 55 Million B.C., by M.G. Hawking

About Earth’s First Civilization, Antarctica, 55 Million B.C., by M.G. Hawking:

Explore evidence of an Advanced Civilization that existed on the Antarctic Continent in the Paleocene Epoch, and other mysterious cultures of prehistory. To explore these remarkable finds, this book has four primary purposes: 1) to present archaeological and other competent evidence demonstrating that civilizations of tremendous antiquity once existed on our planet; 2) to examine evidence regarding the true age of those civilizations; 3) to explore the possible origins of those civilizations; and 4) to reveal the profound esoteric knowledge and technical abilities possessed by the cultures of those civilizations.
Contemporary research has unearthed buried civilizations and discovered hidden cities one after another—archaeology now reconstructs an unsuspected antiquity of man and paints a canvas of stunningly mysterious dimensions. Previous academic accounts of the origins of civilization have fallen forfeit to evidence from archaeological sites worldwide, including Thebes (c. 37,900 BC), Edfu (c. 18,000 BC), Turkey (c. 12,000 BC), Bolivia (c. 15,000 BC), Indonesia (c. 22,000 BC), and, most intriguingly, on the Antarctic Continent. The stunning discovery in Antarctica, if fully confirmed, will represent the greatest archaeological find of history.
Part I of this book explores the true antiquity of civilization on this planet, examines the ancient traditions and theogonies that shed light on the existence and age of prehistoric civilizations, details the substantial evidence for a Paleocene civilization on the Antarctic continent 55 million years ago, and takes an inside look at recent astronomical discoveries.
As the study of antiquity is properly accounted purely academic except as it may be made living knowledge which enriches our contemporary life, a Bonus Supplement containing Parts II and III of this book explores the rare arcane knowledge of the ancient world, wisdom that conveys benefits of great value in our modern world.
We invite you to explore amazing discoveries and knowledge that for long millenniums has remained concealed under layers of legend, myth, and secrecy. A truly incomparable book for anyone interested in expanding their knowledge and personal power, and especially fascinating for anyone interested in the realities behind the ubiquitous legends of antediluvian civilizations and the possibility of ancient extraterrestrial influences. 2023 Edition, for more information, please see the ‘Read sample’ feature on the book’s Amazon page.

How a journey of self-discovery unearthed the scandalous evolution of artificial insemination

By his forties, Peter J. Boni was an accomplished CEO, with a specialty in navigating high-tech companies out of hot water. Just before his fiftieth birthday, Peter’s seventy-five-year-old mother unveiled a bombshell: His deceased father was not his biological father. Peter was conceived in 1945 via an anonymous sperm donor. The emotional upheaval upon learning that he was “misattributed” rekindled traumas long past and fueled his relentless research to find his genealogy. Over two decades, he gained an encyclopedic knowledge of the scientific, legal, and sociological history of reproductive technology as well as its practices, advances, and consequences. Through twenty-first century DNA analysis, Peter finally quenched his thirst for his origin.

In Uprooted, Peter J. Boni intimately shares his personal odyssey and acquired expertise to spotlight the free market methods of gamete distribution that conceives dozens, sometimes hundreds, of unknowing half-siblings from a single donor. This thought-provoking book reveals the inner workings—and secrets—of the multibillion-dollar fertility industry, resulting in a richly detailed account of an ethical aspect of reproductive science that, until now, has not been so thoroughly explored.

Shambhala Unveiled, Secrets of the Hidden Worlds by Michael Hawking

About Shambhala Unveiled, Secrets of the Hidden Worlds by Michael Hawking:

Journey into the world of a profound legend through this unprecedented first-hand account to explore a reality that for long millenniums has remained concealed under layers of myth and secrecy.
Rarely has the world been so enduringly fascinated and inspired by an ancient legend as it has with the historically ubiquitous stories of Shambhala, the fabled hidden sanctuary of transcendentally enlightened sages and mystic masters. Scholars relate that the scriptures of the 4000 year-old pre-Tibetan Zhang Zhung culture may be the earliest extant references to this mysterious realm, yet it is described in many ancient traditions; the pre-Buddhist B’on treaties, the Kalki lore, the Puranas, the earliest texts of the Kalachakra Laghutantra, and in the ancient wisdom traditions of civilizations throughout the Himalayan regions of Asia and beyond. The Zhang Zhung and Tibetan scriptures refer to the mysterious world as Shambhala I lam-yig, B’on treaties as Olmolungring, Hindu histories as Aryavarth, Chinese as Hsi Tien, and Russian traditions as Belovoyde.
On an extended trek into a closed and largely unexplored inner region of the vast Himalayan wilderness, in an isolated valley surrounded by towering ice peaks, explorer M.G. Hawking chanced on a beautiful small village where he encountered extraordinary men and women, introduced to him as “masters” and “sages.”
This book, Shambhala Unveiled, is an anthology containing comprehensive accounts of Hawking’s various experiences and conversations, including first-hand accounts of the psychokinetic abilities he witnessed and in-depth descriptions of his discussions with the masters and sages, revealing the esoteric knowledge and practices that make such extraordinary abilities possible. An incomparable book for anyone interested in expanding their knowledge and personal power, and notably fascinating for anyone interested in exploring the realities behind the ancient legends of Shambhala. 2023 Release, e-reader page count 302 (estimated, actual count varies depending on the reading device).

Ancient Egypt, Extraterrestrial Origins by M.G. Hawking

About Ancient Egypt, Extraterrestrial Origins by M.G. Hawking:

Explore the Origins of a Majestic Civilization. For centuries, devoted scholars have endeavored to penetrate the mystery of Ancient Egypt, the stone-age culture that abruptly rose to create the greatest civilization of known history. This book examines the mystery of this ancient civilization through three encounters explorer M.G. Hawking and his companions experienced with what they believe were the actual “celestials” of the enduring legends so prevalent in the ancient wisdom traditions of cultures throughout the world.
“Ancient Egypt presents us with an impenetrable mystery. How may we explain a Neolithic desert people spawning the most majestic civilization of history? Their rapid ascension from a primitive state to a previously unapproached zenith of technology and culture demonstrates advancements that utterly elude explanation. Many of their artistic and architectural productions are unequalled to this day. What could possibly explain vast technical knowledge and sophistication appearing so fully-formed so suddenly?” —Legendary Egyptologist Flinders Petrie, Archaeological Journal (1911)
Champollion, founder of Egyptology, was the first of a thousand such men and women working to solve the puzzle of Ancient Egypt, living simply in the heat and dust, trying to read for us the riddle of the achievements of a mysterious civilization, to snatch from the secretive soil the science and technology, the art and literature, the history and wisdom of Ancient Egypt. By its side the Sumerian culture was but a crude beginning; not even the culture of Greece or Rome would surpass it, far less our own.
How did a small community just emerging from a Neolithic stage suddenly generate the most majestic and enduring civilization of the ages? Where did their unprecedented knowledge and sophistication come from? The voluminous lore of ancient Egyptian tradition relates that in the antediluvian time of zp tpj (generally transcribed as Zep Tepi), the “first occasion” or “first time,” mysterious, highly enlightened “gods” appeared in Egypt, bearing previously unknown technology and knowledge. The texts inscribed on the walls of the Temple of Edfu in Upper Egypt contain explicit descriptions of the time of Zep Tepi and the coming of the “bringers of knowledge,” recounting their arrival in a “cosmic egg radiating colored light,” bearing the “gods” who brought the gift of civilization to Egypt.
The ancient Egyptian ‘Turin Royal Canon’ (papyrus 1874 verso, c. 1279 BC) in the Museo Egizio, Turin, records the reign of the pre-dynastic “Gods of Ancient Egypt” as beginning in 37,920 BC. Plato (c. 428-348 BC), on visiting Egypt, wrote: “Egypt has recorded and kept eternally the wisdom of the ancient ages, all coming from time immemorial when gods governed the earth in the dawn of civilization.”
Who were these mysterious “gods”? Why did they come, and from where? This book explores answers to these mysteries through three extraordinary encounters explorer M.G. Hawking and his companions experienced deep in the Himalayas. An unprecedented account, this book reveals knowledge long concealed in myth, legend, and secrecy. 2020 Edition, e-reader page count 335 (estimated). A Kindle Unlimited book.

THE DIARY OF A ZEN MAMMA by Brenda Shoshanna

THE DIARY OF A ZEN MAMMA by Brenda Shoshanna

During this startling memoir, Rebecca leaves home in Boro Park, Brooklyn for the first time at seventeen to go to a college in the mountains and explore the outside world. As destiny accompanies her, she instantly meets her acting teacher, Lance and ten weeks later, on her eighteenth birthday, runs away with him in a blizzard and gets married. Lance, from a different culture, is forbidden to her, though.
Once news of the marriage gets out, Rebecca must leave home for good and both are thrown out of college. An outcast, she now has to find where she really belongs, discover her true home.
Rebecca and Lance immediately move into his cold water flat in Greenwich Village, in a building filled with actors, artists and assorted bookies. Lance immediately warns her, that he can never make her happy, she must do that for herself.
Shocked, Rebecca clings to her little book on Zen for guidance, wondering where her Zen Master could be? Incredibly, one day he appears. Rebecca meets a powerful, charismatic Japanese Zen Master, with whom she practices for the next forty-five years. Their unbreakable relationship and his liberating teachings permeate both the memoir and her life. And, despite insoluble differences with Lance, Rebecca is now able to experience a different kind of love. One that cannot be threatened, no matter what.
Yet the past is waiting to flood back into their lives. Danger arises as Rebecca suddenly discovers that her newborn son is on the edge of death. Desperate, she calls home, begging for help. Her brother instantly gathers a minyan, (companions in prayer) and her son is miraculously, and quickly healed.
Overwhelmed, Rebecca’s world starts spinning again. Soon she feels compelled to return to the synagogue and is compelled to continue at the Zendo as well. We explore Rebecca’s reunion with her family, her journey back to her roots, caring for her children, and the inevitable threat to her marriage. She is torn apart by what seems like radical differences between Jewish and Zen practices and their totally different lifestyles.
At the peak of her conflict, and with the help of her Zen Master, Rebecca suddenly experiences the incredible connection between both worlds. She sees how Judaism and Zen uplift and empower one another. Like two wings of a bird, both are needed to fly. Her relationship with Lance swiftly deepens as well, no matter what form it takes. Above all, Rebecca sees that the children are our real teachers, and becoming a true Mamma is enlightenment itself.

Teachings of a B’on Sorceress, The Ancient Powers, by M.G. Hawking

About Teachings of a B’on Sorceress, The Ancient Powers, by M.G. Hawking:

Explore a narrative of the author’s experiences with a true sorceress, revealing first-hand accounts of her demonstrations of psychokinetic powers and descriptions of the secret teachings of the legendary Zhang Zhung culture that enabled her to attain extraordinary abilities.
From the Author: “This book is devoted to our remarkable friend Mani Choejor, who has enriched my life, and the lives of so many others, far more than mere words can express. Mani was born in a small village in Tibet and mentored in an ancient B’on monastery by an abbot known to be a master of great power, one of perhaps two remaining teachers of the primeval esoteric arts of Zhang Zhung magic, or ‘sorcery.’ I will straightaway point out that this book narrates experiences which were wholly inexplicable in the ordinary sense. These events demonstrated Mani’s ability to psychokinetically manipulate physical ‘reality’ in a manner that is not ordinarily accepted in the Western world as part of the field of human activity or ability. The purpose of this book is to illustrate those ‘non-ordinary’ events and the knowledge that made them possible.” —M.G. Hawking
For thousands of years Tibet has been a fabled land of mystery and magic. Isolated from the rest of the world by its topography and remote setting, Tibet is home to the 4000 year-old culture of the forgotten kingdom of Zhang Zhung, the ancient realm of the original pre-Buddhist B’on religion. According to their own histories, B’on was founded in 16,000 BC by the earliest known Buddha-like master, Tonpa Shenrab Miwoche. Like Siddhārtha Gautama, Shenrab renounced his life as a prince to become a monk, achieved enlightenment, and composed teachings that enable attainment of the highest knowledge and power. B’on incorporated Buddhist-like elements, similar to Tantra, long prior to and apart from the influence of Buddhism.
This very rare form of esoteric B’on contains huge amounts of arcane and elemental magic, in keeping with its view of the cosmos as a psycho-physical unity, able to be wholly manipulated in heightened states of awareness through clandestine techniques and practices. These esoteric teachings are founded on a profound premise: “The Universe is but a mirage which exists in the mind, springs from it, is controlled by it, and sinks into it.”
In modern terms: “I can tell you as a result of my research about atoms this much: There is no matter as such. All matter originates and exists only by virtue of the existence of consciousness. The mind is the matrix of all matter.” —Max Planck, Nobel Laureate, originator of Quantum Mechanics

Esoteric Knowledge, An Exploration by M.G. Hawking and Jenna Wolfe Ph.D.

About Esoteric Knowledge, An Exploration by M.G. Hawking and Jenna Wolfe Ph.D.:

Explore the Profound Esoteric Knowledge of Great Masters. Since the dawn of history, compelling accounts of a concealed society of enlightened masters dwelling in a remote region of the Great Range of the Himalaya have fascinated and inspired millions.
On an extended trek into an inner region of that immense wilderness, explorer M.G. Hawking chanced on a small village where he encountered men and women possessed of knowledge and abilities virtually unknown to the Western world. The accounts presented in this anthology are transcribed directly from the journals of Hawking’s five years in the Himalayas. These rare accounts contain detailed descriptions of his conversations with the legendary Himalayan masters, providing first-hand narratives of the masters’ explanations of the fundamental knowledge, essential principles of consciousness and specific practices that are capable of conveying exceptional perceptive abilities and personal powers.
What exactly is this knowledge? In Aristotle’s arrangement of philosophy, esoteric knowledge falls under the aegis of metaphysics and seeks to understand the fundamental nature of all reality. Esoteric knowledge embraces three traditionally contrasted, if not completely separable, areas: 1) Experiences of Oneness with the ultimate, commonly interpreted as God, Infinite Being, All-That-Is, et cetera; 2) The extension of Knowing (extrasensory perception, including telepathy, precognition, and retrocognition); and 3) The extension of Doing (psychokinesis and telekinesis). These concepts involve the primacy and power of consciousness acting beyond the field of human ability as generally recognized in the Western world.
As entertaining as it is richly enlightening, this book is an incomparable exploration for anyone on a spiritual path or seeking expanded personal knowledge and power. 2023 Edition Anthology, 14 sections, 38 sections. A Kindle Unlimited Book. For more information, please see the ‘Read sample’ feature on the book’s Amazon page. Thank you.
