“BOUNDARY, n. [...] An imaginary line between two nations [people], separating the imaginary rights of one from the imaginary rights of the other.”
Ambrose Bierce
If there is an esoteric meaning of the term knowledge, then that can only guide humanity closer to the truth…
How many where able to find The Hidden Path, that leads to the absolute knowledge and consequently to the supreme truth ?
The Hidden Path was created by the adaptation into a book of the content of 5 notebooks written in diary form in August 1935. Thomas, a sailor on a steamboat, disembarks at a port of Northern Spain, determined to explore the hinterland. Already on the first day he meets a mysterious German, who proposes that they go together to Santiago de Compostela.
The journey starts and along the way an unexpected development unfolds concerning a special knowledge. To his great surprise Thomas finds out that his companion holds a mystical teaching that is prohibited in his country and which he reveals to him day by day during their journey.
Wishing to store this knowledge, Thomas starts taking it down in the form of a diary. By the end of their journey he has filled five notebooks and quickly realizes his life will never be the same again. The teaching he receives is so unique and exciting that it stimulates an awakening of his consciousness, acting as a catalyst in the course of his spiritual path. Thomas Linos’ language conveys perennial truths and teachings in present-day terms, with stunning clarity and conviction.

The Book Channel Launch – An Ecademy Success Story
On Monday 20th (Next Monday) a new channel is launched on Sky channel with its debut programme on Sky 166 and Freesat 402 at 7.30 pm, is creating a new medium for authors wishing to market their books. The programme is the brainchild of ex-ITV programme-maker, Richard Flewitt, Fred Perkins, CEO of Information TV, and Paul Hammond, entrepreneur.
Richard tells the story in his own words. The experts he’s attracted to support the venture include Book Midwife Mindy Gibbins-Klein, Book Publisher Sue Richardson and Author Mentor Tom Evans as well as interviewer Tina Bettinson.
A number of Ecademy members who have written books will feature on the channel (and I have to declare a vested interest as I am one of them), so I’d like to wish them all the very best too. You can see more on the book channel website here >>
Good luck Richard, I hope as many people as possible watch the show and visit the website and make the channel a long lasting and successful television show. If you watch do come back and tell us what you thought of the show. Monday is also the launch of the London Book Fair.
“All that is gold does not glitter, not all those who wander are lost; the old that is strong does not wither, deep roots are not reached by the frost. From the ashes a fire shall be woken, a light from the shadows shall spring; renewed shall be blade that was broken, the crownless again shall be king.”
J.R.R. Tolkien

A mesmerizing first novel about a man, a woman, and a disappearance.
“I’m from Chicago originally. I went to New York, married a girl named Anne, and was in the middle of living happily ever after when something happened.”
So begins John Haskell’s mesmerizing first novel, American Purgatorio, the story of a happily married man who discovers, as he walks out of a convenience store, that his life has suddenly vanished. In cool, precise prose, written as both a detective story and a meditation on the seven deadly sins, Haskell tells a story that is by turns tragic and comic, compassionate and gripping. From the brownstones of New York City to the sandy beaches of Southern California, American Purgatorio follows the journey of a man whose object of desire is both heartbreaking and ephemeral. It confirms John Haskell’s reputation as one of our most intriguing new writers, “one of those rare authors who makes language seem limitless in its possibilities” (Susan Reynolds, Los Angeles Times).
John Haskell is the author of a short-story collection, I Am Not Jackson Pollock (FSG, 2003). His work has appeared in Granta, The Paris Review, Conjunctions and Ploughshares. He is a contributor to the radio show The Next Big Thing. He lives in Brooklyn.
