When two "grave and serious" spirits began speaking to a French academic through two young mediums and "completely revolutionized his] ideas and convictions," Allan Kardec decided to set down these spiritualistic revelations. The result electrified the high society of the mid 19th century, which was already fascinated by "spirit tapping" and other paranormalities, and earned Kardec-a pseudonym his spirits commanded him to use-a place in this history of the paranormal as the father of spiritism. Kardec "interviews" the spirits, asking more than 1000 questions about morality, the nature of the soul, the history of humanity, and more, including: . "Is the soul reincarnated immediately after its separation from the body?" . "Does the spirit remember his corporeal existence?" . "Could two beings, who have already known and loved each other, meet again and recognise one another, in another corporeal existence?" . "What is to be thought of the signification attributed to dreams?" . "Are good and evil absolute for all men?" . "What is the aim of God in visiting mankind with destructive calamities?" . "Is it possible for man to enjoy perfect happiness upon the earth?" Promising nothing less than the secret of the destiny of the human race, this extraordinary book, first published in 1856, is as curious today as it was a century and a half ago. French scholar HIPPOLYTE LEON DENIZARD RIVAIL (1804-1869), aka Allan Kardec, was a longtime teacher of mathematics, astronomy, and other scientific disciplines before turning to the paranormal.

There are seven levels in heaven, seven levels on Earth and seven levels (steps) we all must go through before we can go home to heaven. When you know your loved one is alive in heaven and you can talk and even see them from time to time, it makes living a lot easier. Your spirit visits them while you sleep. Each of us retains our past lives in our own orb. Yes, we all have a purpose to live.

The belief in telepathy is still widely held and yet it remains much disputed by scientists. Roger Luckhurst explores the origins of the term in the late nineteenth century. Telepathy mixed physical and mental sciences, new technologies and old superstitions, and it fascinated many famous people in the late Victorian era: Sigmund Freud, Thomas Huxley, Henry James, Robert Louis Stevenson, and Oscar Wilde. This is an exciting and accessible study, written for general readers as much as scholars and students.

Forgiveness is the key to happiness--but how do you actually do it? When we begin to practice forgiveness, the world becomes a better place to live. Forgiveness is essential to releasing fear and living in peace. In fact, forgiveness is the single most important thing we can do to create a life of love and happiness. Without it, we are destined to live in hurt, anger and upset. With it, all the gifts and miracles of God's love flow into our lives. If you've tried to forgive in the past and been unable to, you're not alone. Forgiveness is not always an easy task, and most of us have no real idea of how to go about it anyway. Although each of the world's important religions and spiritual pathways agrees that forgiveness is essential, there is very little practical information out there about how to actually forgive. Forgiveness is the dirty little secret of Christians, spiritual people, and truth seekers everywhere. We all nod our heads and agree that forgiveness is important, but when it comes right down to it, most of us have no idea how to really do it. Forgiveness is actually an easy and pleasurable process once you understand it. Forgiveness Is the Key to Happiness gives you the essential tools you need to forgive anyone, from the smallest of affronts to the really huge betrayals and damage we all experience at least occasionally in our lives.

"Raising Abel" assumes that the Bible would not bother telling us about a cunning serpent, a murderous brother, or a resinous gopher tree, if they didn't have something to do with the deeper topic of faith. After all, isn't the Bible "the authority" on faith? Raising Abel explores the most familiar chapters of Genesis, not as a collection of stories of the beginning of time, but as our first and best guide to the subject of faith. The author, as a physician, explains faith within the framework of wellness, dividing the Genesis stories into four parts that answer four questions.

The Premise: What does healthy faith look like? (Genesis 1-2) The Problem: What can cause this healthy state to become "diseased"? (Genesis 3-5) The Prescription: What medicine is needed to restore us to a healthy faith? (Genesis 6-9:17) The Practice: What must we do to maintain this healthy faith? (Genesis 9:18-11)

"Raising Abel" reassures us that "there is something greater than a perfectly good world; it is an imperfect world plus faith." In a perfect world there would be no need of faith. Get ready to experience faith in a whole new light
