L'acte de la perception
by Stéphane Kalla (2010)
About this book
Les recherches de cet ouvrage portent sur différentes ontologies de la perception se succédant dans l'histoire de la philosophie et des sciences. Il s'agit de repérer comment, dans un système de représentation singulier de l'espace et du temps, sont à chaque fois déterminés les rapports entre le sujet et le monde. L'auteur examine la façon dont ces rapports furent établis dans un certain nombre de doctrines philosophiques, notamment celles des XVIIe et XVIIIe siècles (Descartes, Newton, Leibniz, etc.).

Lost Secrets of the Sacred Ark
Sophie Béroud, René Mouriaux, Michel Vakaloulis
The sacred Ark of the Covenant, created from a legendary substance, is the source of one of the deepest mysteries of the Western world. No reason is given in the Bible as to why the Ark of the Covenant was so richly contrived and no explanation exists of its alleged awesome and deadly powers. Laurence Gardner has accessed Rosicrucian archives in liaison with eminent nuclear physicists to reveal where the Ark is, what it is and how this lost secret of the distant past has led to the phenomenal new science of space-time manipulation. Gardner's controversial research reveals that the secret of the pharaohs' rite of passage to the Afterlife was due to an amazing magical substance, which was directly associated with the pyramids and the biblical Ark of the Covenant. This substance, now known to be superconductive monatomic gold, became know as the Philosophers' Stone, while in today's corridors of quantum mechanics its attributes are classified as the most remarkable physical property in the universe.
