This book, published posthumously in 1903, is the culmination of over 20 years of research into the survival of consciousness after death. It delves into various anomalous mental experiences, including automatic writing, hypnotism, and mediumship, proposing the existence of a 'subliminal self' that could account for paranormal events. Myers' work bridges science and spirituality, offering a unique perspective on human consciousness and its potential survival beyond bodily death.
In 'The Forgotten Language', Erich Fromm delves into the universal language of symbols expressed through dreams and myths, highlighting how understanding these symbols can reveal deeper layers of individual personalities and common human experiences.

The Cipher of Genesis explores the original code of the Qabala, an esoteric system of Jewish mysticism. It is mentioned in the context of Diane di Prima's occult library, indicating its relevance to esoteric studies.
In 'Toward a Psychology of Being', Abraham Maslow delves into human potential and self-actualization, advocating for a holistic approach to psychology that emphasizes growth and fulfillment. The book critiques traditional psychology's focus on pathology and instead explores the traits of healthy, self-actualizing individuals. Maslow's work has significantly influenced modern psychology and personal development.
In this influential book, Jung delves into key areas of analytical psychology, including dream analysis, the primitive unconscious, and the intersection of psychology and religion. He also compares his theories with those of Sigmund Freud, providing insights into the fundamentals of psychoanalysis.

Jung's work challenges Freudian views on the unconscious and emphasizes the importance of spirituality in psychotherapy[1][3][4].
