Jerry D. Thomas Libros

In 1862, Jerry Thomas published a recipe book for drinks that is arguably the most famous and widely read bartender's cocktail book ever written. Known most often as "Jerry Thomas' Bartender's Guide: or How to Mix Drinks" it was the first drink recipe book published in the United States. Thomas codified what had been an oral tradition of recipes from the earliest days of the use of distilled spirits and established a new, standardized form for many famous drinks still enjoyed to this day, as well as others whose popularity has faded. Thomas added some of his own creations and included guiding principles for making drinks of all sorts, such as punches, smashes, sours, toddies, and slings. The first edition of the book contained recipes for such drinks as eggnog, the mint julep, the daisy, the locomotive, the corpse-reviver, the eye-opener, and many, many more. The guide also directs both professional and amateur drink mixers on how to make and use simple syrups, cordials, and liquors. "Jerry Thomas' Bartender's Guide" is an essential addition to the library of everyone who makes drinks for a living or those who wish to impress their friends with a perfectly mixed or little-known cocktail. This edition is printed on premium acid-free paper.

The Heart of the Mystic is a compassionate and life-transforming glimpse of Mystical Truth described in the words of the great mystics, the God-Realized Beings from all spiritual traditions. These simple contemplations distill the essence of Universal Truth and the journey to the inner depths where Truth is recognized by the soul, not learned by the mind. In this state of consciousness, true Wisdom is not mere temporal learning but the "ability to see the finite through the eyes of the Infinite." It is where the unity of life is celebrated in the sublime and timeless perception that there is only "One Doer playing all of the diverse roles of creation in a perfect way and according to a perfect plan of unfolding." In Heart of the Mystic, Jerry Thomas decribes a form of Lexio Divina, the ancient technique of allowing the Spirit of Wisdom to descent to the core of our very being, providing spiritual guidance and knowledge at the level of the soul and the three bodies (physical, astral, and etheric) that cover it. Using this method with any one of the simple contemplations allows the essence of the words to permeate our consciousness, leading us to the bliss of communion with the Source of all Love and all Life. It is the fulfillment of the promise of scripture which is to lead us back to the state of Unity Consciousness from which the concepts were first cognized and the words originally spoken.
