This rare, soul-searching book, reveals the spiritual power of the
famous Rosicrucian, Robert Boyle. He takes you by his gentle hand
and guides you to the love of God. This may be the first time it
has ever been offered to the spiritually hungry world since 1708.
"Sometimes I have a difficult time accepting my good fortune to be
living at this particular time -- nothing has made me feel more
that way than reading Dr. Jerome's fascinating, realistic, and
informative book. It is a "treasure house" of wonderful
information, useful knowledge, and excellent writing.
This book essentially takes the basic religious truths that have
been handed down to us over hundreds of years from our major world
religions and shows how current findings in subatomic particle
physics, quantum theory, and laser technology gives us a way of
seeing how they may well be agreeing on the same basic truths that
construct and maintain our matter and spiritual existence.
Larry Dossey, M.D., President of Isthmus Institute and author of
"Space, Time, and Medicine" and "Beyond Illness," has written an
excellent introduction and endorses Dr. Jerome's work. I believe
that any creditable scientist would do the same and certainly every
New Thought student should be enthusiastic about the work. This
book is not 'another scientific text.' It is that, of course, but
is so much more and such 'fun' reading. Take a look at this book
which is entertaining, informative, and above all else, a book
which has great application to daily living." -- Jack H. Holland,
PhD., D.D. -- Theologian, Reviewer of scientific and theological
literature for "The New Thought Quarterly," and Director of The
Institute for Human Growth and Awareness.
"Dr. Jerome's book just might be one of the most important books of
this era. It explains the holographic nature of God's consciousness
in terms that are understandable." -- Tommy Sellers, communications
expert in computer science and laser research.
"Dr. Jerome personifies a new breed of human now emerging. He is a
scientist who realizes that his science represents only part of the
path to understand his existence and his reality. It is an
essential part, but incomplete in itself. To be whole, to be
balanced in life, he knows it is necessary to discover the path's
other essential part.
As the parts of the path become visible before him, Dr. Jerome
integrates them for us. As he says in his preface:
If science is right, and if religion is also
right, then they must allude to the same
basic truths. The quest to uncover this
'sameness' is the goal of this book
This is a sensitive and beautiful book written by an admirable man.
It deserves to be read, then pondered, then reread, and finally,
referred to often." -- John C. Carls, PhD. in particle physics and
author of "What It Means To Be Human."
LCCN: 2009936698 The author asserts that if there is no God, then
fifty-five absurdities follow such as: humans possess no unique
value, there is no objective morality, the existence of humanity
has no meaning or purpose. Without a transcendent standard or
source, pursuits and values are delusions of the human species. The
information required for the intricate complexity of the universe,
from nothing or chaos to life on earth and the structure of the
cosmos, has no contributor in the absence of a transcendent
intelligence. In the year of his death in 1955, the revered
scientist Albert Einstein clarified his formerly ambiguous views:
"My religion consists of a humble admiration of the illimitable
superior spirit who reveals himself in the slight details we are
able to perceive with our frail and feeble minds. That deeply
emotional conviction of the presence of a superior reasoning power,
which is revealed in the incomprehensible universe, forms my idea
of God" (Calaprice, ed., The Ultimate Quotable Einstein, Princeton,
2010, p.325).
Is Your Life Controlled by Spiritual Confusion, Religious Rituals
or Important Unanswered Questions?
This is a masterpiece and I feel that the body of Christ will be
more enlightened by reading this book ...thought provoking,
illuminating to the mind, revelatory, honest explanation of God's
word...the answers to questions that the normal Christian is afraid
to ask...extensive and comprehensive coverage." (Allan Young,
Chair: Teacher Education and Public Administration, University
College of the Cayman Islands)
"Spiritual Illumination: Honest Questions From The Heart" provides
your opportunity to explore the corridors of life for
yourself...and to embrace a real purpose for living. While not
intending to generate unnecessary offence, this revolutionary book
challenges many long-standing convictions, raises delicate
religious issues, confronts countless "holy cows" and unmasks
deadly, diabolic deceptions. These brief Chapters, alongside the
accompanying "Reflections" will definitely lead the honest reader
to discover viable, authentic spiritual options...especially in an
age when many confusing voices are clamoring for attention with
enticing offers of "peace," "unity," "love," "health," "prosperity"
and "eternal life." This book challenges you to make some hard,
conscious, personal, eternal decisions.

Discussions about belief and non-belief usually end up, time and
time again, in the concept of religion, but in this book the author
has started from the premise that we need to separate the concept
of God, from the notion of human institutions and organized
religion. The real issue, he argues, is that the concept of God is
poorly explored by believers, and greatly explored by
non-believers, when in reality should be the opposite. As religious
people grow up in religious environments, at some point God becomes
just a word without a definition, and people lose perspective of
what they really mean when they say: I do believe in God. So, in
this book he takes on straight on the concept of God, the nature of
faith, the connection between God and religion, how worshipping has
evolved and the actual possibility of morality in the absence of
believe. As in his first book he has made every attempt to express
his ideas in a simple, straight-forward manner, without being
condescending to the believers and inviting them to learn about
atheism and humanism without a push to stop believing. His only
true objective is to promote reason and tolerance, and both
believers and non-believers alike will find his work enticing, and
thought-provoking. This book is the second (and last) in the
"Inside a Non-Believer's" Mind series. On the first part (my
Journey from Christianity to Freethinking), the author shared his
ideas about the reasons to become a humanist and freethinker.
This discussion guide is designed to facilitate the use of David
Berlinski's book The Devil's Delusion: Atheism and Its Scientific
Pretensions in small groups, adult Sunday School classes, adult
education seminars, and book discussion clubs. The guide contains
brief summaries of each chapter followed by discussion questions
for that chapter.
Put two contrarians together and shake well. -Christianity Today
The gloves come off in this electric exchange, originally hosted by
Christianity Today, as leading atheist Christopher Hitchens (author
of God Is Not Great) and Christian apologist Douglas Wilson (author
of Letter from a Christian Citizen) go head-to-head on this
divisive question. The result is entertaining and provocative-a
glimpse into the ongoing debate.

From the Author of the "Power of Light Vibrations" and "Empirical
Truth, Pantheistic-Atheism" comes "Bible Propaganda: The War in
Heaven from Satan's Eyes." You will learn how the Bible is a book
of misinformation, and that God is a rapacious and avarice slave
master, the "Bully of the Bible." This book was compiled from Bible
Scripture, and the philosophy of "Empirical Truth" including an
intriguing original, abstract fictional scenerio of the "War in
Heaven" as told in part from Lucifer's point of view with a twist
on how it was Satan, and not God who gave humankind freewill. And
so God became enraged with insane jealousy punishing all who did
not bow down to Him. This is what begot the "War in Heaven," with
Satan and His Angels fighting a losing battle in defending our
right to have freedom. I do not believe in Devils or Angels, this
is another account of what I have coined "Bible-Babble-Bull."
In Living in the Now, the author distills her experience in Eastern
and Western philosophy, as well as the works of contemporary
thinkers and teachers, into practical and manageable ways of
becoming mindful of the present to reduce stress and improve one's
quality of life. She presents the obstacles to mindfulness
encountered by people with different personality traits, and gently
and sensibly negotiates their identification with the ego. Her
clear style helps the reader to navigate complex topics such as the
delusion of time, and her practical exercises at the end of each
chapter consolidate her wisdom, allowing readers to internalise it.
Among many others, the perfectionist, the procrastinator and the
controller will learn the elegance of living in the present, and
realise, with relief, that they can stop resisting their lives and
become more fulfilled.
Gospel in the Rosary: Bible Study on the Mysteries of Christ
focuses on the Joyful, Luminous, Sorrowful, and Glorious Mysteries
that relate closely to the life of Jesus and that are clearly
presented in the Bible. In keeping with the affirmation of John
Paul II "that everything in the life of Jesus is a sign of his
Mystery" and that there is a need to supply the biblical
foundations on which the mysteries are based, additional Bible
studies have been included under the Glorious Mysteries. These
studies focus on two dialogues that Jesus had (Nicodemus, The
Samaritan Woman) and two parables that he taught (The Prodigal Son,
the Rich Man and Lazarus). Through these Bible lessons we can come
to a clearer understanding of the love of God and of the mission of
Jesus to draw us near to our Heavenly Father, and to prepare us for
our life with him in heaven.
Ronald Aronson has a mission: to demonstrate that a life without
religion can be coherent, moral, and committed. In the last few
years the "New Atheists"--Sam Harris, Daniel Dennett, Richard
Dawkins, and Christopher Hitchens--have created a stir by
criticizing religion and the belief in God. Aronson moves beyond
the discussion of what we should not believe, proposing
contemporary answers to Immanuel Kant's three great questions: What
can I know? What ought I to do? What can I hope? Grounded in the
sense that we are deeply dependent and interconnected beings who
are rooted in the universe, nature, history, society, and the
global economy, Living Without God explores the experience and
issues of 21st-century secularists, especially in America.
Reflecting on such perplexing questions as why we are grateful for
life's gifts, who or what is responsible for inequalities, and how
to live in the face of aging and dying, Living Without God is also
refreshingly topical, touching on such subjects as contemporary
terrorism, the war in Iraq, affirmative action, and the remarkable
rise of Barack Obama. Optimistic and stirring, Living Without God
is less interested in attacking religion than in developing a
positive philosophy for atheists, agnostics, secular humanists,
skeptics, and freethinkers--as well as for all those of us who,
whatever we call ourselves, manage to live fundamentally secular
lives and are searching for bearings today.
"Empirical Truth," "Pantheistic-Atheism." This book will show that
the Bible is an immoral old book that we should not be brainwashing
our children into believing, especially by blind-faith. That more
evil has come about from the Bible than good. That humanity chose
to live with ethics and morals long before we had religious
rulings. That evolution is correct, and you will not be fooled by
Intelligent Design Enforcers. You will expand your mind using
science, philosophy, history, and abstract thinking in a journey
from caveman to our modern society to free our minds from
Bible-Babble-Bull. Then you will be introduced to the positive
philosophy of "Empirical Truth." Including the healing "Powers of
Light Vibrations," which can fill the void left inside of you, as
you toss away all the fears that you lived with for so long from
the emotional and disturbing propaganda of religion.
This is a personal account of a year's visits to sites that lie on
various ley lines across Britain, ending in southern Ireland. While
being of a personal nature it goes far beyond that as the author
Jackie Queally works closely with a universal metaphysical system
called the Reshel, whose purpose is to co-create the new spiritual
paradigm. The Reshel is an ancient spiritual body of knowledge
still valid today. Lying at the core of esoteric Christianity it is
highly pertinent to the great shift taking place today on Earth,
and this book is a rare gem for it explains in accessible language
how the earth as a sentient being responds to human consciousness
and evolves. The Reshel expresses states of being of very high
frequencies that can be applied to etheric patterns in the land
over vast distances involving key sites such as Rosslyn Chapel and
Glastonbury. Jackie is the longest standing guide to that chapel
and is steeped in esoteric knowledge of its purpose and function.
'This new book by Jackie Queally, pre-eminent authority on the
Reshel systems of Europe, Sotland and Ireland in particular, is
hands down the best and most readable material on the arcane Reshel
matrix yet to be published. It gives the reader clearly explained
technical information on the complex European earth grids balanced
with her highly entertaining and fascinating personal experiences.
I wholeheartedly recommend this book to anyone interested in
learning more about the Reshel Grid - the gateway to the future' -
Peter Allen. Formerly only understood and used by inner-core
Templar and Masonic groups, Jackie has organized the once secret
information and systems into an excellent understandable summary.
The 'Living, Chief Head Stone that becomes the Corner'...defining
the Messiah in 1 Peter 2:4-9, also defines every human in his/her
Ascension movement. As this Universe is rapidly moving into a new
Continuum reality, so also the spiritual science evolves to remain
ahead of the evolutionary surge. The New-Ark, organized by
Metatronic Reshel systems, is the core of that science. The
Templars updated temples and earth-grids 700 years ago (and
earlier) designed for this present phase of the great Transition.
Jackies brilliant insight into this little understood science,
continuing their work and conveyed through the book is a valuable
aid for any grid-worker. These systems can be directly applied by
Light Groups to increase their efficiency and resonance with
Metatronic systems used in the Transition.
Author Floyd C. McElveen heard men crying out for God when a
Kamikaze suicide plane hit his ship in WWII. Several different
"Religions" tried to convince him that they had the answers. Vocal
Atheists claimed Evolution was a "fact" and that God did not exist
at all. This created an intense desire in McElveen to find out the
truth. With his brilliant mind and deductive reasoning, McElveen
began a sincere journey to discover who was right. Faith of an
Atheist is a powerhouse book with scientific and logical
explanations providing a sound foundation for its conclusions.
McElveens skill at communicating resonates with truth that is
revealing and soul-searching. With over 1 million books in print,
he is clearly a diligent researcher and well-respected author.
This book could have been titled The Book of Tolerance. The
Psychologist author recognizes that every child learns a lot of
traditions and beliefs when too young to evaluate them. Such
prejudices are very deeply ingrained into the subconscious. They
are difficult to overcome even in our adult years of further
experience and education. (Dr. Uhl was already in his 30s when he
finally got free; many people never get free.) Each person grows up
and learns to analyze and think criticallly at different rates.
Even in the same family one sibling may remain opinionated and
prejudiced, stuck in the past, while another thoughtfully unlearns
childhood myths and becomes a broadminded adult ready for planetary
friendships. Therefore, tolerance of such differing rates of
learning and unlearning is necessary for civilized peace in a
pluralistic society. Such friendly understanding comes easy under
the new Golden Rule: Treat others as you would reasonably want and
expect to be treated if your roles were reversed. Out of God's
Closet: This Priest Psychologist Chooses Friendly Atheism shows how
the author got really free and how readers can enjoy the same
freedom to be proud, happy, planetary neighbors. Generous
sprinkling of earthy humor richly seasons this revolutionary book
for enjoyable spiritual nourishment.
This is an introduction to the new innovation of secular religion
called "Pantheistic-Atheism." It is a way for us to live moral and
ethical lives without a biblical God. A philosophy that all people
can use to live together to make an ameliorated new world. We
should not be trying to destroy ourselves in fulfilling some old
superstitious biblical prophecy full of hatred and wars. Although
this book includes a chapter on "Bible Propaganda," and additional
information on why religion is fraudulent portraying God as the
"Bully of the Bible." It is mainly about living successful positive
lives. Therefore, it does not include sections on the superstitious
immoral atrocities of the Bible, nor its true origin, the fact of
Evolution versus Intelligent Design Enforcers, and many other
subjects of "Bible-Babble-Bull" that are included in his
anti-religious book called "Empirical Truth."
Deism is a natural and rational bridge that unites our reason to
our belief in God. It propels us from the false and destructive
ancient myths to a space-age belief system that is in line with our
innate God-given reason. This book, written in a concise and cogent
style, introduces the reader to Deism, a way of life that is free
of the old conflicts between reason and religion. The removal of
these conflicts allows us to enjoy and appreciate a much more
profound and satisfying belief in Nature's God while helping us to
live a more productive and meaningful life.
Why does an agnostic need to pray? This haunting question marks the
beginning of a remarkable spiritual quest. For prayer is nothing we
ought to do. It is something we need as much as food or rest or
exercise. Yet to whom do we pray if we're not religious? How do we
even begin? This book is for those who have trouble finding
spiritual nurture in a religious setting. It is for those who
hunger for something more than power, status, or excitement. It is
for those who wish to find peace within themselves in a troubled
world. Written by a former priest, Agnostic's Guide draws on a rich
heritage of Celtic and American Indian spirituality. Through gentle
engagement with tough questions, it invites us to rediscover what
we have known all along in our hearts.
George Ricker's latest book, "mere atheism, no gods.no problem ,"
describes what he sees as the essence of atheism. In the title
essay he writes, "Nothing about atheism prevents me from thinking
about any idea. It is the very epitome of freethought. Atheism
imposes no dogma and seeks no power over others."
Written with the same candor and conversational style that
characterized his earlier work, this selection of material from the
"Godless in America" web site ranges from rebuttals of criticisms
of atheism, "Answering atheism's critics," to essays on science,
"Genes don't care," and some hot-button issues, "A death in the
life of a controversy," to reflections on the joy of sailing and
the impact of the world outside on the world within in
"Mockingbird."
The twenty-four essays cover a wide variety of subjects, and the
collection concludes with the one-act play, "A last rite and some
wrongs.with apologetics."
"Many people still cling to the notion of the village atheist,
obsessed by gods and religions, bitter and lonely, living on the
edge of town with no friends and no family willing to acknowledge
the kinship," Ricker says. "I hope this book will help change that
perception."
