DENNIS WILLIAM HAUCK

THE MONAD MANIFESTO

As scientists probe deeper into the nature of reality, they are discovering that consciousness is at the root of everything. What we believed were the laws of physics and matter are really the archetypal laws of mind, and the condensation of consciousness that created our universe originated from a  dimensionless point in the void known in physics as the “Singularity” and in mathematics and philosophy as the “Monad.”

In philosophy, the Monad is the is the indivisible source that created our reality. In mathematics, it is the origin of all numbers and geometry that describe Nature. In science, the Monad is the Big Bang explosion of consciousness, which physicist Erwin Schrödinger described as “a singularity phasing within all beings.”

In ancient Egypt, the idea of the monadic “Aten” inspired the first monotheistic religion, and the concept of the Monad was a key principle in the development of Hinduism, Taoism, and Buddhism. In Gnosticism, the Monad is the One God at the root of the pleroma, the infinite fount of matter and energy in the universe. Renaissance scientists like Giordano Bruno, Gottlieb Leibnitz, and John Dee touted the Monad as the key to understanding the whole of Nature. And the concept of a monadic universe in which one’s soul can rise to unite with the universal Soul, inspired scores of philosophers, theologians, writers, and artists of the Age of Enlightenment in the 17th and 18th centuries. By the late 20th century, an interdisciplinary science of Consciousness Studies emerged dedicated to solving the puzzle of consciousness and understanding the mysterious monadic origin of the universe. Most of the pieces to that puzzle are already in place, and we are just beginning  to glimpse the overall picture. It’s not like anything we ever expected.

ALCHEMY WORKBOOK

This spiritual alchemy workbook is a guided tour through the steps of the Emerald Tablet's formula of transformation. There are alchemical mandalas and symbolic drawings actually used by the alchemists, as well as interpretations and guided meditations to accompany them. Most engravings have never before been published to a wide audience and date back over five hundred years. The principles revealed here are based on many centuries of alchemical practice and date back to a time when some of the most creative minds in the world delved into the intertwined mysteries of matter and energy, soul and spirit. Those philosophers of nature sought universal laws of transformation that were as valid in their laboratory experiments as they were in their own hearts and minds. Their legacy to us is an amazing spiritual technology that works on all levels. Great companion workbook for The Emerald Tablet. Athanor Books 1999, 2017. ISBN 0-9637914-4-3. 8x11; 34 pages.

"Belief in ghosts or spirits is part of human culture, and the telling of ghost stories has been traced back to ancient times. Today, according to the George H. Gallup International Institute, more than half the world's population believes in ghosts and at least a third of that group have actually seen one. Whether we like it or not, ghosts and spirits are still part of modern civilization, and most of us believe there is a lot more going on in the universe than our practical scientists and social leaders would admit. This rejected part of human experience, which is another side of reality, will not go away simply by closing our eyes to it. As we enter the new millennium, more and more people are opening their eyes to the Other Side. The number of paranormal experiences being reported has quadrupled in the last decade, and most organizations and researchers are swamped with new cases. Witnesses are much more willing to talk about such things, and they are actively looking for answers about what is really going on. The media and entertainment industries recognize this trend and have responded with an avalanche of articles and films on the subject. The surge of interest in the paranormal coupled with the growing emphasis on the global economy and emerging cultures makes this a truly planetary phenomenon. For the first time, local folklore is giving way to an international perspective that emphasizes the similarities and belief-altering components of these experiences."  – Dennis William Hauck, author of Haunted Places: the National Directory and the International Directory of Haunted Places. 90 photographs.

"Dennis William Hauck put out an excellent reference guide to ghostly sites around the United States several years ago (HAUNTED PLACES: THE NATIONAL DIRECTORY, 1996). His new book, while touching on the US, expands its coverage to the entire world. THE INTERNATIONAL DIRECTORY OF HAUNTED PLACES: Ghostly Abodes, Sacred Sites, and other Supernatural Locations provides coverage of haunted locations all over the world. Each entry gives a summary of the ghost sightings and history, and description of the location as it is today. While actual addresses for most of the locations are not provided (local phone numbers are provided where available), once one is in the particular town or region, it ought to be fairly simple to track down these sites. Hauck clearly put a lot of work into researching this book. I know from personal research experience how tough it is to find good reference works about ghost sightings in other countries (other than Great Britain). There are a lot of entries in this book, and they tend to be brief, though to the point. If you ever travel outside the United States, this book ought to go with you. If you're thinking about traveling, this book can help you decide on some interesting destinations."
