The true-life memoir Patrice Chaplin began in "City of Secrets" continues here in the story of her spiritual initiation into the Kabbalistic tradition preserved since the Middle Ages by a secret society in the pre-Roman city of Girona, Spain. Salvador Dali was a member of that society, as was the renowned author Umberto Eco, the filmmaker Jean Cocteau, and Jancint Verdeguer, one of the most celebrated Catalan poets. Importantly, so was the mysterious Berenger Sauniere, the priest who in the late 1800s built Rennes-le-Chateau in southern France, with the Tour Magdala, a tower that is twin to the neo-gothic tower in Girona. In this gripping story that reads like the adventures of a female Castenada, Chaplin is led through a series of initiatory stages which correspond to the magical square of Venus, containing the constellation of the Great Bear.

Rosa Luxemburg (1871-1919) war eine einflussreiche Vertreterin der europäischen Arbeiterbewegung, des Marxismus, Antimilitarismus und "proletarischen Internationalismus". Im Februar 1917 weckte der revolutionäre Sturz des Zaren in Russland Hoffnungen auf ein baldiges Kriegsende. Die Provisorische Regierung setzte den Krieg gegen Deutschland jedoch fort. Dort kam es im März in vielen Städten zu monatelangen Protesten und Massenstreiks: zuerst gegen die Mangelwirtschaft, dann gegen Lohnverzicht und schließlich gegen den Krieg und die Monarchie. Rosa Luxemburg ließ sich fortlaufend über diese Ereignisse informieren und schrieb dazu den Aufsatz Zur russischen Revolution. Darin begrüßte sie Lenins Revolution, kritisierte aber zugleich scharf seine Strategie und warnte vor einer Diktatur der Bolschewiki. In diesem Zusammenhang formulierte sie den berühmten Satz: "Freiheit ist immer Freiheit des Andersdenkenden. Aus dem Buch: "Freiheit nur für die Anhänger der Regierung, nur für Mitglieder einer Partei - mögen sie noch so zahlreich sein - ist keine Freiheit. Freiheit ist immer nur Freiheit des anders Denkenden. Nicht wegen des Fanatismus der "Gerechtigkeit", sondern weil all das Belehrende, Heilsame und Reinigende der politischen Freiheit an diesem Wesen hängt und seine Wirkung versagt, wenn die "Freiheit" zum Privilegium wird..."
Rosa Luxemburg (1871-1919) war eine einflussreiche Vertreterin der europäischen Arbeiterbewegung, des Marxismus, Antimilitarismus und "proletarischen Internationalismus". Aus dem Buch: "Die Nationalökonomie ist eine merkwürdige Wissenschaft. Die Schwierigkeit und der Streit der Meinungen beginnt schon bei dem ersten Schritt, den man auf ihr Gebiet tut, schon bei der allerelementarsten Frage: Was ist der eigentliche Gegenstand dieser Wissenschaft. Der einfache Arbeiter, der nur eine ganz vage Vorstellung davon hat, was die Nationalökonomie lehrt, wird seine Unklarheit der eigenen mangelhaften allgemeinen Bildung zuschreiben. Doch teilt er sein Mißgeschick diesmal in gewissem Sinne mit vielen gelehrten Doktoren und Professoren, die über die Nationalökonomie dickbändige Werke schreiben und Vorlesungen für die studierende Jugend an den Universitäten halten. So unglaubwürdig es klingt, so ist es doch Tatsache, daß die meisten Fachgelehrten der Nationalökonomie einen sehr verschwommenen Begriff davon haben, was der wirkliche Gegenstand ihrer Gelehrsamkeit ist."
