Book Description
Roberto Calasso, "a literary institution of one" (The Paris Review), tells the story of the eternal life of Utnapishtim, the savior of man, in the eleventh part of his great literary project. A long time ago, the gods grew tired of humans, who were making too much noise and disturbing their sleep, and they decided to send a Flood to destroy them. But Ea, the god of fresh underground water, didn’t agree and advised one of his favorite mortals, Utnapishtim, to build a quadrangular boat to house humans and animals. So Utnapishtim saved living creatures from the Flood. Rather than punish Utnapishtim, Enlil, king of the gods, granted him eternal life and banished him to the island of Dilmun. Thousands of years later, Sindbad the Sailor is shipwrecked on that very same island, and the two begin a conversation about courage, loss, salvation, and sacrifice. What Utnapishtim tells Sindbad is the subject of this book, the eleventh part of Roberto Calasso’s great opus that began in 1983 with The Ruin of Kasch. The Tablet of Destinies, a continuous narrative from beginning to end, delves into our earliest mythologies and records the origin stories of human civilization.

Book Description
The Aztec Book of Destiny summarizes traditional Mesoamerican beliefs about the spiritual nature of time and its influence on one's personality and fate. The ancient Aztec, Toltec and Maya believed that the day of birth, as defined in their sacred calendar, affects destiny; and this philosophy has guided their daily lives for more than 3000 years. This book condenses the scattered and disparate literature about these beliefs into a fun and informative narrative; but it goes far beyond what academics and popular authors have published to date. The author presents a unique perspective shaped by the wisdom of a traditional calendar-keeper he met in Mexico in 1973. The book's message is that the calendar is not simply an ancient and forgotten curiosity - it is as relevant today as in ancient times. The majority of the book projects the timeless Mesoamerican philosophy into contemporary Western society encouraging introspection and self-awareness.

Book Description
Ancient Sumerians and Babylonians of Mesopotamia used the cuneiform Tablets of Destiny & Epic of Creation to systematize all cosmic knowledge into a workable paradigm called "Mardukite Zuism"-a precise systemology received directly from the Anunnaki. And for the first time in modern history, a religious movement has emerged with workable spiritual technology that is relevant to the state of humanity far more than anything before known.The true Destiny of Humanity is to achieve spiritual Self-Actualization; the reunion of Self with the Divine. History demonstrates how dangerous and troublesome the idea of "Religion" actually is and how easily it is misused. For purposes of incorporating Mardukite Zuism into a contemporary standard, the idea of religion is here treated as: a concise spiritual paradigm and set of beliefs and practices regarding Divine "Infinite Beingness"-or else "God." It should be understood that the Highest form of "True Worship" is to fulfill personal destiny and this begins with the Spirit-the true Self-and all external practices, rituals, ceremonies and historical examples are but outer reflections of this ideal.The word "ZU" meant "knowing" in original Sumerian cuneiform script. Goals and ideals of Zuism reflect this. Mardukite Zuism seeks to assist an individual in reclaiming a realization of the True Self or "I-AM" as the Immortal Spirit, in line with a most ancient directive: to "Know Thyself." In view of the fact that all modern humans are subjected to technologies depriving them of their freedoms to be, think, know and pursue truth: the goals and ideals of Zuism are to effectively revive and repair abilities and certainties of the Individual.Joshua Free first publicly launched "Mardukite Ministries" on the Summer Solstice, June 21, 2008. An active research division called the "Mardukite Chamberlains" was established in 2009, which developed and published a research library. In 2019, Joshua Free released the first published practical discoveries of "Mardukite Systemology" which now contributes applicable methods of spiritual technology that further the development of "Mardukite Zuism" as an effective religion to promote the spiritual advancement of anyone.Following the recent release of "Tablets of Destiny: Using Ancient Wisdom to Unlock Human Potential" and "Crystal Clear: The Self-Actualization Manual", this concise booklet by Joshua Free expertly presents a summation of the most promising futurist religious movement of the 21st century!
