I have not here written anything which is intended to displace the
observations of other authors on this subject, nor will it be found
that anything has been said subversive of the conclusions arrived
at by experimentalists who have essayed the study of clairvoyant
phenomena in a manner that is altogether commendable, and who have
sought to place the subject on a demonstrable and scientific basis.
I refer to the proceedings of the Society for Psychical Research.
In the following pages I have endeavoured to indicate the nature of
the faculty of Second Sight or Clairvoyance, the means of its
development, the use of suitable media or agents for this purpose,
and the kind of results that may be expected to follow a regulated
effort in this direction. I have also sought to show that the
development of the psychic faculties may form an orderly step in
the process of human unfoldment and perfectibility.

HAFIZ: A Daybook Translation & Introduction by Paul Smith Hafiz
is considered by many of the world's foremost poets, mystics,
artists and writers to be the greatest poet of all time. Hafiz was
not only a great poet, he became a Perfect Master or enlightened
being, whose wisdom and insights into the everyday and mystical
path are such that it is said that one can gain spiritual
advancement by reading his book. During the past six centuries he
has inspired and influenced the world of literature, philosophy,
mysticism and all aspects of art: poetry, painting and music in the
east and the west. His life was for mankind and his work to be
shared with the world. Through his example we can learn how to
prepare for unprecedented change. Without doubt, he is one of the
greatest human beings since time began. His Divan has been loved by
many millions of people. To this day it is used as an oracle and
spiritual guide and in this Daybook one can use his couplets on a
daily basis or open them at random for inspiration and advice. 375
pages. "In his poetry Hafiz has inscribed undeniable truth
indelibly... Hafiz has no peer." Goethe "Once a person has studied
Hafiz he has reached the top of the mountain, from whence he
beholds the sublimity of the immanence of God." Inayat Khan "Hafiz
defies you to show him or put him in a condition inopportune or
ignoble... He fears nothing. He sees too far; he sees throughout;
such is the only man I wish to see or be." Emerson "Hafiz is highly
esteemed by his countrymen as Shakespeare by us, and deserves as
serious consideration." A.J. Arberry "There is no equal to Hafiz in
poetry. He was a Perfect Master... His Divan is the best book in
the world because it engenders feelings which ultimately lead to
illumination." Meher Baba "It is as if his mental eye, endowed with
wonderful acuteness of vision, had penetrated into provinces of
thought which we of a later age were destined to inhabit." Gertrude
Bell "Hafiz breathes originality in all his works ... in no other
country, was ever born a genius so rare. He dwells on the
degeneracy of his age, on the vanity of the world on universal
charity, and on toleration and liberty of conscience." H.
Wilberforce Clarke "We may state, without incurring the danger of
modernization, that in these ghazals Hafiz applied quite
consciously and consistently a method of revealing his hero's inner
condition at which European literature first arrived only in the XX
century." Michael J. Zand "The best Musician of Words." Edward
Fitzgerald (Translator of Omar Khayyam) ..".sublime amorous
ghazals." Lorca "Only the most enlightened of beings can benefit
from the deepest human joys because within such beings resides a
unique force of freedom and rapture. Their awareness rests in the
house of spirit and their soul mates with their awareness, meaning
that which is discovered through awareness emanates from their soul
and that which shines in the soul is known with awareness. This
unity of spirit and mind is the legacy of Hafiz." Nietzsche
COMMENTS ON PAUL SMITH'S TRANSLATION OF HAFIZ'S 'DIVAN'. "It is not
a joke... the English version of ALL the ghazals of Hafiz is a
great feat and of paramount importance. I am astonished." Dr. Mir
Mohammad Taghavi (Dr. of Literature) Tehran. "Superb translations.
99% Hafiz 1% Paul Smith." Ali Akbar Shapurzman, translator of
English to Persian and knower of Hafiz's Divan off by heart. "Smith
has probably put together the greatest collection of literary facts
and history concerning Hafiz." Daniel Ladinsky (Penguin Books
author). Paul Smith is a poet, author and translator of over 80
books of Sufi poets of Persian, Arabic, Urdu, Turkish and other
languages including Hafiz, Sadi, Nizami, Rumi, 'Attar, Sana'i,
Jahan Khatun, Obeyd Zakani, Mu'in, Amir Khusrau, Nesimi, Kabir,
Anvari, Ansari, Jami, Khayyam, Hallaj, Rudaki, Yunus Emre and many
others as well as poetry, fiction, plays, biographies, children's
books and screenplays.
Joseph shares his experiences with the disease Guillain-Barre
Syndrome (GBS) which twice (less than 1 in 1,000,000 chance of
this) and very quickly, paralyzed him. He slowly healed. In the
paralysis state, his mind was at a heightened level of awareness.
Unable to do anything physical, he applied himself to understanding
the vivid messages that became so present to him. He provides a
chronicle of the GBS, but more, he provides a detailed account of
the discoveries made available to him, explained in his own simple
language. Up From Paralysis shares Joseph's journey of discovery of
"how it all works" for him, and he suggests for us too, when it
comes to listening to that tiny whisper of wisdom some call
intuition, Spirit, Guidance from the "other side," which is
actually "inside." Learn how to, through increased clarity, live a
more successful life in all dimensions.
