Book Five of The Law of One is comprised of the 56 fragments of
personal material that were originally omitted from the first four
books of this series. Both Jim, the scribe, and Carla, the
instrument for the Ra contact, have added their comments to these
fragments to give the reader an idea of what it was like to be part
of this contact and to show how every persons experience can be
used for personal growth and service to others. A wide variety of
topics is covered, from Eisenhowers meeting with extraterrestrials
in 1954 to UFO/government conspiracies, Wanderers, sexual energy
transfers, anger, balancing, Aleister Crowley, the Tunguska crater
in Russia, pre-incarnative choices, psychic greetings, alternate
and orthodox healing modalities, the ball lightning phenomenon, and
the many facets of the spiritual journey in general.
Previously published in part only as 'They Walked Among Us', here
in print after 30 years is the full story of how a young man,
sceptical of all things psychic, became one of the world's most
brilliant materialisation mediums. Alec and Louie Harris were
married for 46 years and 40 of those years, until Alec's passing in
1974, were devoted to bringing, as the Rev George May says, 'hope,
comfort and enlightenment to countless people'. Louie tells here of
the development of trance, direct voice, healing and, after 6
years' work with their Spirit team, solid form materialisations in
red light. Included are wonderful accounts of families reunited
across the 'veil of death' and old friends conversing in many
languages unknown to Alec. Nine of the Spirit team are shown in the
book, and in colour on the back cover, in drawings and paintings
done by Alec Harris. His son, Bradley Harris has affirmed that his
father's hand appeared to be controlled as he drew them and the
pictures are as he, Bradley, remembers the Spirit Guides when they
materialised.
By breaking free of your own self-limiting beliefs, you'll discover
the unlimited potential of who you really are. It's time to get
over your self! There is an insidious, global identity theft
occurring that has robbed people of their very recognition of their
true selves. The culprit-indeed the mastermind of this crisis-has
committed the inside job of creating and promoting the idea that we
are all a separate self, which is the chief source of our daily
distress and dissatisfaction. No more than a narrative of
personhood pieced together from disparate neural activations, the
self we believe ourselves to be in our own minds-although quite
capable of being affirming, inspiring, and constructive-often spews
forth a distressing flow of worry and second-guessing, blaming and
shaming, regret and guilt. This book offers an antidote to this
epidemic of stolen identity, isolation, and self-deprecation:
no-self (a concept known in Buddhist philosophy as anatta or
anatman). The No-Self Help Book turns the idea of self-improvement
on its head, arguing that the key to well-being lies not in the
relentless pursuit of bettering one's self but in the recognition
of the self as a false identity born in the mind. Rather than
identifying with a small, relative sense of self, this book
encourages you to embrace a liberating alternative-an expansive
awareness that is flexible and open to experiencing life as an
ongoing and ever-changing process, without attachment to personal
outcomes or storylines. To help you make this leap from self to
no-self, the book provides forty bite-sized chapters full of clever
and inspiring insights based in positive psychology and
non-duality-a philosophy that asserts there is no real separation
between any of us. So, if you're tired of "self-help" and you're
ready to explore who you are beyond the self, let The No-Self Help
Book be your guide.
John Henry Newman (1801-90) described writing this account of his religious development as 'one of the most terrible trials that I have had'. Having inspired and led the Oxford or Tractarian Movement before he abandoned Anglicanism for the Church of Rome, Newman regularly found himself the target of virulent anti-Catholic prejudice in Victorian England. The Apologia was his autobiographical response to a public attack by the novelist Charles Kingsley on his personal integrity. With it he not only convinced a suspicious public of the sincerity of his beliefs, but he also produced a literary masterpiece which has often been compared with St Augustine's Confessions. The Apologia, which ends with a brilliant defence of Catholicism, was a turning-point in English cultural history, successfully challenging the dominant tradition of 'no Popery'. For Newman personally the work was a 'mental child-bearing' as he recounted the dramatic story of a conversion which rocked the Church of England to its foundations and which was to have profound consequences for the Roman Catholic Church.
A beautifully written sequel to the inspirational Emmanuel's Book,
with an introduction by Ram Dass. The Choice For Love offers
insight into difficult relationships, aging, illness and healing,
learning from AIDS and much more.
Aware of it or not, you create your reality. Understanding this can
transform your life. 'The Gregory Continuum' T, channeled through
Bobbie G, says: "The Choice is yours. The possibilities are
infinite. To understand this, read our book."
Social media, television, video games, drugs, pornography – there is so
much noise distracting us from what is important in life that it is
nearly impossible to hear God’s truth that He will take you as you are.
When we finally kill the noise of the world, we’ll discover in the
silence a loving Savior who is waiting to forgive us and offer us a
purpose for our lives.
Ryan Ries is living proof of this truth. Growing up in Los Angeles as
the son of a mega-church pastor but surrounded by the music, skate, and
snowboard industries, Ryan felt a tug-of-war between the church and the
world. It was in the skate and music culture that he found his passion
and his identity. As a result, he walked away from God and dove head
first into the world, losing his way in alcohol, drugs, and sex, which
led to anxiety, brokenness, and emptiness.
Kill the Noise tells Ryan’s story about finding God in the messiness of
life, and lets you know how you too can find peace, joy, and purpose in
Jesus Christ. This book will be a tool to help you kill the noise of
the world so you can hear God’s voice telling you that He loves you and
that you belong to Him.
An examination of the public fascination with spiritualism and psychical research in Britain from the mid-nineteenth to the early twentieth century. The book explores the variety of social background, education, and professional expertise that characterized the men and women who attended seances and investigated psychic phenomena, and places them in the context of their times without ridiculing their beliefs.
If you are seeking union with your Sacred Self, this book is the
Lamplight that will wipe the cobwebs of time from your mind and the
darkness of fear from your vision. Passion and sincerity are key to
initiating anything in life. When you begin to do what you love
continuously, a conscious connection to the Soul happens. In the
development and expansion of your life, you will begin to feel a
Presence. What is this Presence? The Divine, or is it Love of Self?
So now the question becomes, what is this Love? Is it God? It is
challenging to put this level of Consciousness into words. Bliss,
joy and effortlessness abound while the worries of life no longer
exist. In such unity, the universe awaits your beckoning call with
fruits you only dreamed could fall from the tree of life. This
place, this space, is the bridge to the Soul and your return to the
Garden of Eternal Playfulness. Welcome home.
While modernism's engagement with the occult has been approached by
critics as the result of a loss of faith in representation, an
attempt to draw on science as the primary discourse of modernity,
or as an attempt to draw on a hidden history of ideas, Leigh Wilson
argues that these discourses have at their heart a magical practice
which remakes the relationship between world and representation. As
Wilson demonstrates, the courses of the occult are based on a
magical mimesis which transforms the nature of the copy, from inert
to vital, from dead to alive, from static to animated, from
powerless to powerful. Wilson explores the aesthetic and political
implications of this relationship in the work of those writers,
artists and filmmakers who were most self-consciously experimental,
including James Joyce, Ezra Pound, Dziga Vertov and Sergei M.
Eisenstein.
Teresa Moorehouse's "narrative sculptures" tell deep, often
timeless stories in cold cast bronze, with patinas of copper,
silver, or gold. Some draw on traditional myths or legends. Others
discover new voices for contemporary experience of spiritual
mysteries. Her images weave a language of symbols that surpasses
logic and speaks directly to intuition and spirit. Soul Stories
elegantly displays thirty-nine of the artist's favourite works in
cold cast bronze. Her own brief narratives companion the
photographs, to lead us by the hand into each sculpture's magical
world.
This book contains the lectures of a Great Master, offering the
highest spiritual growth and understanding. Macdonald-Bayne himself
describes how he became aware of sublime power, a conciousness far
above his own. For the many people called to hear his lectures, it
was an experience never to be forgotten.
The irresistible story of two rival mediums in Victorian London…
’Charming, gorgeous, an utter delight’ Marian Keyes Mrs Wood is
London’s most celebrated medium. She’s managed to survive
decades in the competitive world of contacting the Other Side, has
avoided the dreaded slips that revealed others as frauds and is
still hosting packed-out séances for Victorian high society. Yet,
some of her patrons have recently cancelled their appointments.
There are reports of American mediums nearly materialising full
spirits and audiences are no longer satisfied with the knocking on
tables and candle theatrics of years gone by. And then, at one of
Mrs Wood’s routine gatherings, she hears something terrifying –
faint, but unmistakable: a yawn. Mrs Wood needs to spice up her
brand. She decides to take on Emmie, a young protégé, to join her
show. But is Emmie Finch the naïve ingenue she seems to be? Or
does she pose more of a threat to Mrs Wood’s reign and, more
horrifyingly, her reputation than Mrs Wood could ever have
imagined?
Sophia Elizabeth De Morgan (1809-1892) was the wife of the
mathematician and logician Augustus De Morgan and mother of the
celebrated ceramicist William De Morgan. In this book, published in
1863, De Morgan, writing as 'CD' - with a preface by her husband
signed as 'AB' - acknowledges that alleged spirit manifestations
have faced much criticism and scepticism, but argues that it was a
little-understood phenomenon that merited further investigation.
She spent a decade on this research, and focused on the role of the
mediums, people who were believed to communicate with the spirit
world. She was aided in this by the arrival of a medium who lived
with the De Morgan family for six years. Her chapters also examine
in depth the process of dying and ideas about the afterlife. A
first-hand account of the nineteenth-century spiritualist world,
this book provides a fascinating glimpse into Britain's changing
religious landscape.
James Van Praagh is a spiritual medium--someone who is able to
bridge the physical and spiritual worlds. Unaware of his spiritual
gifts until he was in his twenties, he slowly came to terms with
his unique abilities. In addition, many of his sessions with
grieving people who came to him looking to contact the spirits of
deceased loved ones are explored. From a devastated mother
recieving a message of hope from her deceased little girl to
communicating with a young man, killed in Vietnam, who doesn't
realize he's dead, the theme of hope and peace in the afterlife is
affirmed. Van Praagh also helps the reader recognize and positively
deal with the pain of grief in a healthy, honest manner. Part
spiritual memoir, part case study, part instrumental guide, Talking
to Heaven will change the way you perceive death...and life.
