Each of us is made of the same "stuff," yet we continuously see each other and the world around us as dissimilar and separate. It's important to see ourselves as part of a greater entity. In "Wholarian Vision, " author Katrina Mayer presents a new way of seeing the world and bringing it together. With prose, stories, and poems interspersed, Mayer introduces the Wholarian vision-a process of being connected to all things and to all people in order to see others without prejudice or bias. "Wholarian Vision" introduces and explains this new concept and describes how it affects the mind, body, and spirit. It discusses both the Wholarian world and the relationships within it. With the goal of bringing the world together through a global perspective, "Wholarian Vision" shows how we all originate from one and we will always be part of one. Our actions, our choices, our lives, and our voices are the message of one heart, one world, and one love.

Millions of people, who have started to awaken to the spiritual side of life, find a spiritual teaching, start to apply that teaching, and then gradually get caught in the age-old ego games. They use the spiritual teaching to prop up their sense of being the favorite sons or the chosen people. The ego always manages to turn any spiritual teaching into a false path-the outer path, which makes you think that you can qualify for the ascension by changing other people or the world. The human ego uses all kinds of tricks to justify its own choices, especially its unwillingness to change. The ego will seek to make you believe that it cannot, is not allowed to or does not need to rise beyond its current level. Thus, in order to rise from one level of consciousness to the next, the you will have to transcend the corresponding aspect of the ego. The real spiritual path is an inner path, where you realize that the only way that you can qualify for your ascension is to change yourself-your sense of self. Thus, to find the true spiritual path that leads to your real freedom from mortal struggle, you have to find the secret path beyond ego. For those who are open to the existence of universal spiritual teachers who have already followed the path beyond ego, this book offers a unique perspective on what the ego is and how it originated. What better way to go beyond ego than to learn from teachers who are already there. In this book, many Masters - Jesus, Mother Mary, Gautama Buddha, El Morya, Saint Germain and others - give their teachings about finding the secret path beyond the ego-based consciousness. Having experienced the subtleties of the human ego, the Masters give practical guidance for recognizing and transcending the ego. This will empower you to find true freedom and awaken your full potential as an individualization of God. This is an indispensable guide for all serious students of new spirituality.

In "The New Revelation" the first dawn of the coming change has been described. In "The Vital Message" the sun has risen higher, and one sees more clearly and broadly what our new relations with the Unseen may be. As I look into the future of the human race I am reminded of how once, from amid the bleak chaos of rock and snow at the head of an Alpine pass, I looked down upon the far stretching view of Lombardy, shimmering in the sunshine and extending in one splendid panorama of blue lakes and green rolling hills until it melted into the golden haze which draped the far horizon. Such a promised land is at our very feet which, when we attain it, will make our present civilisation seem barren and uncouth. Already our vanguard is well over the pass. Nothing can now prevent us from reaching that wonderful land which stretches so clearly before those eyes which are opened to see it.

"Icelandic Spiritualism" is an engaging social anthropological study of the place of spiritualism in Icelandic church and society during the first half of the twentieth century. Challenging standard theoretical approaches to the study of religion, the book contributes a wealth of data on the history of religion and psychical research, presenting it in a vivid descriptive narrative. The authors trace the role of the spirit world in Icelandic culture, giving particular attention to the distinctive history of Iceland's "conversion" to Christianity. They focus on the appearance of "modern" spiritualism as a distinct phenomenon in Icelandic life. The book studies the interaction between various groups in fin-de-siecle Icelandic society, not least in the state church, as mediumistic phenomena became widely reported through the newspapers. To some, Icelandic spiritualism may be considered a deviant case of Protestantism. What makes this book interesting, however, is that the spiritualism is seen as integral to Iceland's transition to modernity. While "Icelandic Spiritualism" concentrates mainly on the first half of the twentieth century, it also provides a summary of the continuation of spiritualist phenomena up to the current period. This intriguing study will be of interest to theologians, philosophers, sociologists, psychologists, and anthropologists.
