1947. The purpose of this book is to bridge the present existing enormous gap and silent animosity between Religion, Science and Philosophy. This state of affairs is responsible for the present atheistic and antireligious feelings, movement and the open warfare of many individuals, groups and some countries against the present system of organized society and of the democratic countries of the world. True Religion, Science and Philosophy must be united again as they were in ancient times, for the enlightenment, progress, peace and happiness of the peoples of the world. In this outspoken book based upon authentic historical, archaeological and philosophical sources, Manas, a Greek-American scholar, educator and philosopher, solves this century-old problem and puts things in their proper places. He shows the steps to be taken, and the only way out for the collaboration of Religion, Science and Philosophy. Thus, the great catastrophe, which is coming again upon humanity, due to the present misunderstandings of peoples and nations, will be averted. Religion, Science and Philosophy when united, form the foundation of every civilized, progressive and happy society, and will establish the Brotherhood of Man and the peace of the world.

Chirology is the science of the hand: an experimental science based on observation and computation, whose aim is the interpretation and explanation of the lines and mounts of the palms and fingers, and of the exterior shape of the hand. Chirology is not an occult science: there is nothing supernatural, magical or diabolical about it: it has no mysteries. It is not a branch of the art of divination, for everybody may study and understand it. This work will help the reader become a chirologist and learn how to read the hand. Illustrated.

Deborah Leigh has intuitively read ordinary playing cards professionally for the last 20 years. She learned about Personal Prophesy and how to apply its principles to achieve a happier, more satisfying life from her grandmother who handed the fundamentals down to her two years before her death.

Aside from her grandmother's revolutionary teachings, Deborah hasn't been able to find information on this particular method of perceiving the future to attain genuine love, success and happiness through ordinary playing cards--anywhere.

While others might consider themselves "gifted"; Deborah insists she is not. She merely possesses an exceptionally well-developed intuitive sense focused through playing cards. A skill, she believes, anyone is capable of developing for themselves to bring true empowerment to their lives.

Over the years, Deborah has taught others around the world to read playing cards as expertly as she does. They are faithful, devoted followers of Personal Prophesy to this day.

A study of character and personality. The reading of the hand has been put on a firm and scientific basis. Laffan has accomplished this task in this original contribution to the subject which has been too long the victim of charlatans. careful examination of the shape and lines of the palm discloses the mental characteristics of a person and his life plan. Changes in these lines closely correspond with changes in the person's life. A skilled analysis can often reveal to an individual the true nature of his personality and help him to make the essential effort to the fulfillment of his life plan.

The use of a forked twig, or so-called divining rod, in locating minerals, finding hidden treasure, or detecting criminals is a curious superstition that has been a subject of discussion since the middle of the sixteenth century and still has a strong hold on the popular mind, even in this country, as is shown by the large number of inquiries received each year by the United States Geological Survey as to its efficacy, especially for locating underground water, and the persistent demands that it be made a subject of investigation by the Survey. The bibliography shows that a truly astonishing number of books and pamphlets have been written on the subject. The purpose of the present brief paper is not to add another contribution to this enormous volume of uncanny literature but merely to furnish a reply to the numerous inquiries that are continually being received from all parts of the country. The outline of the history of the subject presented in the following pages will probably enable most honest inquirers to appreciate the practical uselessness of "water witching" and other applications of the divining rod, but those who wish to delve further into the mysteries of the subject are referred to the literature cited in the bibliography, in which they will find reports in painful detail of exhaustive investigations and pseudo-investigations of every phase of the subject and every imaginable explanation of the supposed phenomena.
