With "Opus Magnum" Althar succeeds in concluding his series of books on enlightenment and embodied ascension with no less than a thunderbolt! In his humorous and direct way, he takes the reader on a journey that finally brings to fruition his highest human potential: The realization of his true nature beyond all separation. Althar pays special attention to how the connection of an incarnated consciousness with matter comes about at the level of DNA, in order for a human to absolutely assume the belief of "being a body." It is precisely this belief that repeatedly pulls one back into the dream of separation, and thus makes a continual existence in enlightenment while embodied almost impossible. Overcoming this identification as a "body" is very delicate, and becomes all the more complicated by inner resistance and all sorts of interferences stemming from the macro and micro level of consciousness. Althar illuminates these in detail and sensitizes the reader to the challenges he may face along his journey. In retrospect, Aouwa explains how difficult it was to connect consciousness and matter in order to overcome the standstill of the Second Round of Creation. This required extremely drastic measures carried out by a group called Uru, a branch of the Uriel family. Uru accompanies all the messages as a profound guest and is joined by Ila, the Unborn Goddess of Feminine Beingness. Due to Uru's measures, significant side effects came about - namely the paralyzing feelings of fear, guilt, and shame. Accompanied by the compassionate, radiant presence of Ila, Althar and Aouwa prepare the reader for the enormity of facing these intensive feelings, and repeatedly expose the illusionary nature of all obstacles. Deepening and expanding upon the previously presented light body exercise, Althar advises the reader how this practice of "not-doing" eliminates all feelings of lack. In addition, he introduces an extension of the exercise that gently releases the consciousness hypnotically interwoven with DNA, and dissolves the identification with the body. As his grand finale, Althar discusses the potentially overwhelming consequences of completely letting go of the belief in separation. This naturally leads to the "Opus Magnum," the Great Work - the inner transformation of the human self into divine beingness, which is also known as embodied ascension.

With this second volume, Althar continues to share his wisdom about the greater nature of reality, the central theme being embodied ascension. Using relatable metaphors, he invites the reader on a journey into conscious creation. Althar uses expansive explanations to define how consciousness creates at a personal level, as well as at a group level. Then he dives into the non-linear and parallel nature of time, bringing forth a new awareness of how patterns lead to ever-recurring processes and incarnations in time. With this understanding, he then points out specific patterns that affect the individual and the human species as a whole. For this purpose, he shares some of his very personal experiences from the time of Atlantis and shows how the consequences of the downfall of Atlantis still have an effect today. Althar explains the most effective way to solve the obstacles mentioned, and finally, summarizes all of his arguments by skillfully characterizing the path of the New Magi. "The New Magi" is a book full of profound insights about consciousness that can be applied in your personal life as you traverse further along the path of embodied ascension.

Thereby, Althar talks about the light body and emphasizes particularly the necessity to let go of the emotional body.

With "The Lucid Dreamer" Althar presents an extensive post script to the five-volume "Althar" series. In this volume, he goes into more detail than ever before about how consciousness brings about the dream of separation and especially physical realities. For the first time he talks about "light world," which is the basis of all realms of existence in separation and which is shared by every entity within separation. One focus of the book is on the role of perception and how it significantly contributes to maintaining the illusion of existing as a separated being. He then introduces "lucid perception" which helps a human to resolve the identification with his body, and which will also be the light body's way of perceiving. Althar compares the awakening to the greater reality to an increasingly surreal dream. As the human gradually lets go of more and more limitations, even the so-called laws of physics, his consciousness is confronted with great challenges and various paradoxes. For example, what is meant by embodiment when there is ultimately no matter? If there are no laws of physics, why does an apple fall to the ground? How can entities have shared experiences when each of them is sovereign and experiences everything "within itself"? In his usual pragmatic, direct, and humorous way, Althar explains his view of things and discusses the implications on the transition phase into the light body. In addition, Althar presents, as if casually, a treasure trove of deep insights which he derives from the fundamental principles of consciousness. In doing so, he puts many of his previous discussions into a larger context and invites the reader to see through the mechanics of separation and go beyond them. With the "Althar Surreal" series, Althar especially wants to support those pioneers of consciousness who live through the adventure of so-called "embodied ascension".

In "The Final Letting Go," Althar states that all the explanations he has given so far were essentially a preparation for the final letting go. By that he means the release of the belief that separation is real. In Althar's words, this belief is the root cause of all existence within polarity. No matter which spiritual path someone has chosen, in the end he is confronted with the final letting go. Althar describes an alternative view of the world of polarity and explains why a being is choosing rather than creating its reality. Furthermore, this worldview opens up a completely different view of the seemingly omnipresent energy. He describes the nature of True Creation and why there cannot be True Creation within polarity. Only with letting go of the belief in separation will True Creation become the natural expression of an enlightened being. As in the previous volumes, Althar emphasizes that enlightenment is not created, but is exposed by letting go. With respect to embodied ascension, he describes in detail the general conditions for the realization of the light body and suggests in this regard an extremely effective exercise. As in the previous volumes, Althar succeeds in expressing his timeless wisdom in a very clear and humorous way. In doing so, he very personally incorporates the reader into his remarks and reminds him time and again of his own inner wisdom.

The studies included in this volume supplement the work already published by the author on the imperial cult in the Roman West, focussing on the monuments of two cities in Roman Spain, Augusta Emerita (now Mda) and Tarraco (now Tarragona). The introduction gives the general background and context of the four following studies and argues in favour of proactive initiative from the centre.The core of the book is a study of the provincial forum at Augusta Emerita. It opens with a historiographic survey followed by discussion of the plaza (location, portico, "Arco de Trajano"), then surveys other structures and their general architectonic significance. Discussion of the hexastyle temple at the centre of the precinct considers its date of construction and the influence of the provincial governor, L. Fulcinius Trio, in copying the Aedes Concordiae at Rome. Two long sections assigned to analysis of inscriptions and the significance of the provincial centre of Lusitania complete the study.Discussion of the "Temple of Augustus" in Tarragona, in Chapter 3, begins with a historiography of the temple followed by an account of its discovery by ground-probing radar and electric resistivity tomography. After arguing that the temple was provincial ab initio - rather than first municipal then provincial - discussion moves to present opinion on the successive stages of the construction and design of the temple with a final chapter on the significance of the Temple of Hispania Citerior.Two final studies consider the numismatic evidence for an Ara Providentiae at Augusta Emerita, its counterpart in Rome, and the inferred presence of a templum minus at Augusta Emerita with its enigmatic portrayal of Agrippa at sacrifice fifty years after his death. As for the location of this copy of a Roman prototype, analysis focuses on the evidence for a supposed temple in the forum adiectum of the colonial forum and considers the iconographic recomposition of
