The Book on Mediums, also known as The Mediums Book, was written by
Allan Kardec and originally published in 1861. It is the widely
respected follow up to The Spirits Book which was published in 1857
and is the second in a series of five books that Kardec wrote that
are collectively known as the 'Spiritist Codification'. In the
1850's, whilst investigating the afterlife, Kardec communicated in
seances with a collection of spirits named 'The Spirit of Truth'
who discussed many important topics such as life after death, good
and evil, the nature of the universe, the origin of spirits, and
many other subjects. The Spirit of Truth' allegedly counted many of
history's great thinkers amongst its number such as Thomas Aquinas,
Voltaire and Augustine of Hippo. Over time and after several
sessions with the group Kardec had gathered enough information to
convince him of life after death and he was compelled to spread the
teachings of 'The Spirit of Truth'. He 'codified' their comments
and listed them as answers to questions and this forms the content
of his teaching. The Books on Mediums is intended to be an
essential guide to mediumship for mediums and those interested in
the spirit world. The book covers the different types of mediumship
including, table-turning, incorporation of spirits, haunted houses,
transfiguration, apparitions, psychography and telekinesis. It
explains how to deal with manifestations and how to guard against
frauds, charlatans, and skeptics alike. The book warns against the
perils of un-guided mediumship, possession, and obsession that
often go hand in hand with the beautiful revelation that spiritual
communication can reveal. Some of Kardec's advice found in the book
include; "Do not believe the spirit to be who he purports to be
unless there is evidence supporting his claim, but even then, wait
till others confirm what one has said." "Do not judge the spirits
by their purported names, but by the quality of the morals and the
philosophy found in their communications." "Do not let yourself be
too entertained with the evocation or incorporation of spirits
enough to disregard what is more important, like living your own
life and helping your neighbour." "Do not live by the spirits'
advice: the communications from the spirits are to be studied and
revered - but they should not be taken as the word-by-word
expression of the ultimate truth." "Do not judge the quality of the
communication by the culture or the social status of the medium by
which it was brought." As the New Testament states; Test the
Spirits dear friends, do not believe every spirit, but test the
spirits to see whether they are from God, because many false
prophets have gone out into the world. 1 John 4:1
All the powers of the universe are out there, ready and waiting for
us to call on and use to our advantage at any time. The problem
blocking most of us is our own thought habits. Through a series of
thought-provoking true stories about life, death, and spirit,
Beyond the Five Senses explores how each of us has the innate
capacity to empower ourselves and gain control over our lives.
The Secret of Inner Presence begins with author Lin Lipetz's
story of her spontaneous spiritual awakening in 1986. Her spiritual
awakening created an immediate awareness of a loving Inner Presence
within her heart and a connection to another higher level of peace,
contentment, and greater knowledge. She now knows that Inner
Presence waits patiently to manifest itself within each person, and
much of The Secret of Inner Presence is about providing the keys to
bring about that shift in consciousness.
As each of the eleven keys is practiced and experienced, the
transformation toward a more complete understanding of the
core-self will gradually evolve through the loving guidance of the
conscious Universe. One of the eleven keys opens the way to
intuitively listen to the many voices that will assist in this
transformation of the core-self-through healing, new insights,
dreams, problem solving, and caring advice. Another key opens the
way to deepen intuitively to the level of receiving messages from
the Universe and possibly finding the guides that have been
available since birth. This process is called Stream of
Consciousness writing, and the powerful dialogues and inspirational
poems the author has received in this way for many years are found
in each chapter.
Chapter by chapter, each of the eleven keys is presented, by
both the spiritual Universe and the author, to help guide the
reader to a higher dimension of the self.
Jonah comes from a dimension beyond our universe, a nonphysical
dimension of light, color, and sound. Through medium Hossca
Harrison, Jonah has come forth to assist in opening the heart, to
bring a message of freedom, and to teach universal loving. "The
Teachings of Jonah" was created from an early taped series of
Jonah's messages. Author Constance Luciano transcribed and edited
these tapes to provide Jonah's teachings in written form. The
lessons offered in "The Teachings of Jonah" include: How to get in
touch with our spirituality How death is a birth into another
reality How our thoughts and understandings determine what type of
reality we will be born into when we die How disease is created and
what the relationship is between the mind, the emotions, and the
body How meditation is a both a tool and a technique How to enhance
the true bonding within ourselves, our families, and amongst our
loved ones How prophecies and predictions are made and what they
are Jonah has helped thousands of people with his messages. His
teachings prompt all of us to accept complete responsibility for
who and what we are.
This book is another example of the New Thought movement where the
author looks at the law of attrac-tion in the sense of thought with
the respect of the power of mind. Atkinson points out the
similarities between the law of gravitation and the mental law of
attraction. He ex-plains that thought vibrations are as real as
those manifesting as light, heat, magnetism and electricity. The
difference is in the vibratory rate which also ex-plains the fact
that thought vibrations cannot usually be perceived by our five
senses. The author, rather skillfully, argues that there are huge
gaps in the spectrum of light and sound vibrations, wide enough to
include other worlds. It is logical that these activities would be
perceived by sense organs at-tuned to them. Increasingly
sophisticated scientific instruments are able to register more and
more of these hidden frequencies.

This multidisciplinary study of Scientology examines the
organization and the controversies around it through the lens of
popular culture, referencing movies, television, print, and the
Internet-an unusual perspective that will engage a wide range of
readers and researchers. For more than 60 years, Scientology has
claimed alternative religious status with a significant number of
followers, despite its portrayals in popular culture domains as
being bizarre. What are the reasons for the vital connections
between Scientology and popular culture that help to maintain or
challenge it as an influential belief system? This book is the
first academic treatment of Scientology that examines the movement
in a popular-culture context from the perspective of several
Western countries. It documents how the attention paid to
Scientology by high-profile celebrities and its mention in movies,
television, and print as well as on the Internet results in
millions of people being aware of the organization-to the religious
organization's benefit and detriment. The book leads with a
background on Scientology and a discussion of science fiction
concepts, pulps, and movies. The next section examines
Scientology's ongoing relationship with the Hollywood elite,
including the group's use of celebrities in its drug rehabilitation
program, and explores movies and television shows that contain
Scientology themes or comedic references. Readers will learn about
how the Internet and the mainstream media of the United States as
well as of Australia, Germany, and the UK have regarded
Scientology. The final section investigates the music and art of
Scientology. Discusses Scientology within the framework of popular
culture, which is how most people outside the religion come in
contact with it Approaches the study of Scientology from multiple
viewpoints, enabling readers to have an informed, multicultural
perspective on the religious group's beliefs and practices from
which to form their own opinion Presents information about
Scientology derived from one of the largest university archive
collections on the subject worldwide, with a number of documents
never before having been referenced in scholarship
