Sometime in 1912, Elsa Barker, an accomplished American Poetess, was visiting in Paris, when one night she found herself automatic writing, meaning that is someone other than her sub conscious was writing using her hand. The entity inspiring the writing, claimed to be Judge David Patterson Hatch. The judge explained that he had recently passed over and that he wanted to document his experiences on the other side in the form of letters that he would write through Elsa's hand. Until Elsa was convinced of the Judge's identity she referred to him as XA" Over the next three years over 130 letters were 'dictated' and published as a trilogy under the banner Letters from a Living Dean Man. The letters are now considered an essential guide to the afterlife; all are fascinating, informative, and inspirational, and required reading for anyone interested in life and death, the afterlife, and why we are here. Here is a sample of her introduction. If anyone asks the question, that do I myself think as to whether these letters are genuine communications from the invisible world, I should answer that I believe they are. In the personal and suppressed portions reference was often made to past events and to possessions of which I had no knowledge, and these references were verified. This leaves untouched the favorite telepathic theory of the psychologists. But if these letters were telepathed to me, by whom were they telepathed? Not by my friend who was present at the writing of many of them, for their contents were as much a surprise to her as to me. I wish, however, to state that I make no scientific claims about this book, for science demands tests and proofs. Save for the first letter signed "X" before I knew that Mr.-- was dead, or knew who "X" was, the book was not written under "test conditions," as the psychologists understand the term. As evidence of a soul's survival after bodily death, it must be accepted or rejected by each individual according to his or her temperament, experience, and inner conviction as to the truth of its contents. In the absence of "X" and without some other entity on the invisible side of Nature in whom I had a like degree of confidence, I could not produce another document of this kind. Against indiscriminate mediumship. I have still a strong and ineradicable prejudice, for I recognise its dangers both of obsession and deception. But for my faith in "X" and the faith of my Paris friend in me, this book could never have been. Doubt of the invisible author or of the visible medium would probably have paralysed both, for the purposes of this writing. The effect of these letters on me personally has been to remove entirely any fear of death which I may ever have had, to strengthen my belief in immortality, to make the life beyond the grave as real and vital as the life here in the sunshine. If they can give even to one other person the sense of exultant immortality which they have given to me, I shall feel repaid for my labour. To those who may feel inclined to blame me for publishing such a book I can only say that I have always tried to give my best to the world, and perhaps these letters are one of the best things that I have to give.

A Soul's Journey is indeed a personal story. The journey are lessons that were given to me by my God Presence during the summer of 2013 in answer to the prayer "God help me create the life I desire." The Journey is recorded in four books containing twenty four chapters. Most of the time I didn't know where this was going and what I was to do with this information I was being given. The only thing I did know was that the lessons were helping me feel better and my life was changing to reflect more Love, more of God in my life. The lessons in the books focus on reaffirming the Truth about each of us and looking to our God Presence to help us make the Truths our Truths which will lead to our living better more satisfying lives. What are these Truths? That we are where we need to be at this point in our life experience. All that has come before was necessary to make us the person we are today. In other words we are perfect just as we are; That we are children of a Loving Infinitely Patient God Presence that is with us always and will help us in all things if we ask; That we are worthy of all that is good and pleasing in the entire Universe just because we are sons and daughters of the Universe; That our beliefs serve to shape our life experience and if we change our beliefs we can change our world; and That we are never alone and we are always surrounded by the Love of God. My greatest desire is that these lessons help the readers also come to know God, their God Presence, so that they can also come to know how they can create the life they desire right here on planet Earth.

If you are looking to truly understand the cause of war, conflict and man's inhumanity to man - and if you are willing to think outside the box - this book will give you a new perspective on history. It explains why every society has had a small elite that managed to gain control over the population. This book goes far beyond conspiracy theories by identifying the real cause of evil as a state of consciousness. This "fallen" consciousness has affected every aspect of society, and it colors our thinking in many subtle ways. Yet once you understand the psychological mechanism behind it, you will be able to escape this control. And as more and more people do the same, society will move towards a new and better age. This book will not weigh you down with fear or a sense that we are controlled by hidden forces and can do nothing about it. On the contrary, this book brings a message of profound hope, as well as practical tools for raising both yourself and humanity beyond the fallen consciousness and its psychology of control.

The Varieties of Magical Experience: Indigenous, Medieval, and Modern Magic provides a comprehensive volume that examines magic in all its aspects. Through detailed case studies, verbatim accounts of personal experiences, and first-hand experience from the authors' own active participation in many alternative religious rituals and ceremonies, this unique book reveals how magic can be a universal phenomenon that crosses cultural, historical, and spatial boundaries.

During the mid-thirties in Paris, Gurdjieff drew together four women: Solita Solano, Kathryn Hulme, Alice Rohrer and Elizabeth Gordon -- and formed a special, mutually supporting work group.

In allegory he explained: You are going on a journey under my guidance, an "inner-world journey" like a high mountain climb where you must be roped together for safety, where each must think of the others on the rope, all for one and one for all. You must, in short, help each other "as hand washes hand," each contributing to the company according to her lights, according to her means. Only faithful hard work on yourselves will get you where I want you to go, not your wishing.

Among themselves they called their foursome "The Rope."

The company around Gurdjieff's table, his principal teaching site, soon expanded to include Louise Davidson, Margaret Anderson, Georgette Leblanc and Jane Heap.
