Thoth is a title, and there are several beings using it. The Thoth Maia
speaks with says he is not the same as the one Drunvalo connects with,
although there is an 'archetypal' link to him from Drunvalo. This is an area
of very complex spiritual science that would not be appropriate to address
in this forum, would be glad to go into it privately if you wish.

Maia is currently writing a book on the life of Thoth, as told by him, sort
of a channeled autobiography. What we already have does not agree with some
of what is already out there on Thoth. The title of the book will be
'Journey of the Beloved'.

We have a homepage which is connected to another website called 'The Temple'
which is still in its birthing stages. The address is
http://www.teleport.com/~temple/s&mhome.html
We have a considerable amount of information, primarily in the form of
compilations of back issues of our Sacred Doctrine of Inner Mysteries which
originally started out in 1980 and was called 'The Source'. It is now called
Temple Doors and comes out quarterly. The basic listing of our available
publications and tapes appears on the homepage given above. More detailed
information appears in our Introduction / Catalog (which partially appears
on the homepage) and that is available for a $5.00 U.S. / $7.50 Foreign

Foreign checks / money orders etc. must be payable at a U.S. bank or we must
pass along a $10.00 to $20.00 collection charge. We do accept credit cards,
we will e-mail our phone to you if you wish to go that route and do not feel
safe e-mailing credit card info (we don't).
We are in the process of slowly but surely preparing more of the volumes of
material and manuscripts Maia has written over the last 28 years to be
self-published and available.
We recently formed an alliance with Moving Books of Seattle to distibute our
materials, but for the most part it is not in many bookstores as it is
self-published and most of them don't wish to carry spiral bound material.
