Notes from the Cosmos: A Futurist's Insights into the World of Dream Prophecy and Intuition
In Notes from the Cosmos, Gordon-Michael Scallion relates an engaging autobiographical tale of his transformation from electronics consultant to intuitive futurist. Once his psi powers become full-blown, he shares information and visions that come through from his "higher self." Much like Jane Roberts's groundbreaking Nature of Personal Reality, Scallion describes the architecture of the universe--time, space, consciousness, extra-historical facts about the human race, life on Mars, etc. Parascientific explanations on the psychic properties of gem stones and color are particularly fascinating. While many of his global predictions are either too vague (e.g., water is to be of prime importance), too far in advance (predicting an earthquake in L.A. at no particular time and then claiming when one occurs a year later it's the one predicted), too far-fetched (the U.S. becomes 13 colonies by 2012), or too obvious (predicting an earthquake in L.A. in which freeways collapse) to be particularly credible, there is a storehouse of insight and knowledge here that the silly predictions don't dispel. --P. Randall Cohan.

Pathways to Unknown Worlds: Sun Ra, El Saturn and Chicago's Afro-Futurist Underground, 1954-68
Philosopher, Afro-futurist, and jazz legend Sun Ra (1914–93) constructed much of his complicated public persona during his sojourn in Chicago in the mid-1950s Working with a still-shadowy underground fraternal organization, Ra amassed a library of books on the occult, Egyptology, race studies, Theosophy, and religion—all in service of drawing elliptical connections between these disparate bodies of knowledge. This work became the foundation of the personal mythology Ra employed in the 1960s when he began fronting his Myth-Science Arkestra and started drawing attention from more mainstream jazz fans.  Pathways to Unknown Worlds presents a kaleidoscopic range of materials from those years, including original record cover designs and production materials, paper ephemera, and photographs. These materials—most previously unseen—dramatically flesh out the story of Sun Ra’s mystical journey of discovery and his lofty goals for the dissemination of his new knowledge; they are certain to fascinate and delight Ra’s legion of fans. .

Futurist Manifestos
On February 20th, 1909, a belligerent manifesto announcing the birth of the Futurist movement appeared on the front page of the Paris newspaper Le Figaro and had immediate repercussions throughout Europe. The author, a young Italian poet named F.T. Marinetti, demanded that writers and artists reject the classic art of the past and celebrate the dynamic technology of modern city life. Joined by a group of like-minded artists, over the following years Marinetti pioneered an art that would represent movement, in a reaction against the stasis of the classics, and even of its contemporaries such as Cubism. Available in English for the first time in over 20 years, the Futurist Manifestos are fiery, explosive, and witty, and crucial to any full appreciation of modern art..
