'My own start in the new thought and self-help fields was influenced by several teachers, but the person who impacted me the most was Florence Scovel Shinn.' -Louise Hay Still as relevant today as they were almost a century ago, the teachings of Florence Scovel Shinn have profoundly shaped the fields of personal development and spiritual growth over the decades. In this transformational classic, Florence explores the power of positive thought and fearless faith. She explains how your thoughts and words affect the experiences you have in your daily life, and then shares practical examples to demonstrate how to use affirmations to create more of what you want, including abundance, love and success. The second part of this book contains Louise Hay's interpretation of Florence's original text. In The Game of Life for Women, Louise specifically focuses on teaching women to own their true power.

First published in 1969, this title explores the origins of Spiritualism as a religion movement. The first part is a history of Spiritualism, with a focus on its origins within America and the development of the organisation within itself. Next, Nelson considers the rise of Spiritualism in Britain, using evidence taken from contemporary journals, other publications and interviews. Finally, the Spiritualist movement is analysed in terms of sociological theory, looking at the Church and the definition of the Cult, as well as concepts of authority and leadership. This is a fascinating work, which will be of great interest to students researching the origins and development of the movement of Spiritualism and its relationship with society.

Thurschwell examines the intersection of literary culture, the occult and new technology at the fin-de-siècle. She argues that as new technologies, such as the telegraph and the telephone, began suffusing the public imagination from the mid-nineteenth century on, they seemed to support the claims of spiritualist mediums. Making unexpected connections between, for instance, speaking on the telephone and speaking to the dead, she examines how psychical research is reflected in the work of Henry James, George DuMaurier and Oscar Wilde among others.

Book Four of the Law of One is the last of the books in the Law of One series. Book Four explores in great detail the archetypical mind which is the framework provided by our Logos or sun body to aid each of us in the evolution of mind, body, and spirit. Tarot, astrology, and ritual magic are three paths offering the study of the archetypical mind, and in Book Four a study of that rich resource is undertaken using the tarot, also uncovered on the nature and purpose of the veil that we experience between the conscious and the unconscious minds and the process of "forgetting" that occurs during each incarnation in our third-density experience. In Book Four the path of the adept becomes more clear as Ra elucidates the adept's use of experience to balance its energy centres and penetrate the veil of forgetting.
