Followers of the early-20th-century "New Age" philosophy of New
Thought believed they could learn the secrets of mind over matter,
and one of their most influential teachers-enormously popular
writer and editor William Walker Atkinson, writing pseudonymously
here-revealed to them, in this 1906 work, the teachings of Raja
Yoga. His lessons cover: . the ego's mental tools . the expansion
of the self . mental control . the cultivation of attention . the
cultivation of perception . subconscious character building . and
much more. See also Series of Lessons in Gnani Yoga, also available
from Cosimo. American writer WILLIAM WALKER ATKINSON (1862-1932)
was editor of the popular magazine New Thought from 1901 to 1905,
and editor of the journal Advanced Thought from 1916 to 1919. He
authored dozens of New Thought books under numerous pseudonyms,
some of which are likely still unknown today, including "Yogi
Ramacharaka" and "Theron Q. Dumont."
When two dolphin lovers, Zeeep and Eeeoo-vowing to be together
forever -lose their lives in a poacher's snare, they learn their
next lives will be on land: Eeeoo becomes Sabrina, a comatose
little girl in Montreal, Canada and Zeeep becomes Xico, a
flea-ridden dog in a tiny village in Brazil. It seems the two will
never be together but the magic of fate relies on a higher knowing.
This crossover novel leads the reader on adventures with Xico the
dog through mystical travels visiting Otherworldly dimensions,
learning the world of healing. The two lovers eventually reunite in
Brazil where a famous shaman and psychic surgeon lives. When they
meet again, Xico has learned to be a medium and is helping the
shaman. He lovingly helps to initiate the healing of Sabrina. When
Sabrina's desperate mother steals Xico and takes him to Canada to
be with her daughter, the Brazilian villagers rally together to get
their "healing dog" back so he can do his God-given job.
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.
