No portion of this book may be reproduced in any form or by any means without prior written permission from the publisher and the authors.

This book is of an advanced nature, and it is recommended that one has knowledge in the subjects of Alchemy, Tarot, I Ching and Tantra before attempting to understand the contents.

The Forbidden Book of Knowledge is the integration of the ancient East and West Indian knowledge presented in a modern form. For the translation of the ancient Indian knowledge into English, Alchemy has been selected to represent the west, and Tantra has been selected to represent the east. The Tarot has been selected as the oracle of the west, and the I Ching is the oracle of the east. One will find very little resemblance of the material in this book to the actual Tarot or I Ching. The Tarot and I Ching are used for just basic structure and familiarity as subjects that have been well documented and expounded upon. Other than the basic structure one will find the material in this book quite original.

Charles F. Thompson 1981;
in the limited first edition of five hundred numbered copies.

My special thanks to Sanda Thompson
for her wholehearted support with this book project.
