This "mini-textbook" in mental science and in the philosophy and practice of the Science of Mind, which Dr. Barker taught so successfully in New York City for many years, continues to answer the need many feel for a short, to-the-point primer in basic, practical metaphysics. "This classic metaphysical book offers excellent grounding in the principles of Science of Mind as taught by Holmes." - SCIENCE OF MIND Magazine FROM RAYMOND CHARLES BARKER "Give to your treatments all the thought and feeling that you previously gave to your problems, correct your belief in lack or limitation, realize that infinite life is yours right now, and let the power of Spirit flow through you. Realize that your faith can make you whole."

Many of us have come to understand that we are indeed spiritual Is success a science? Is it luck? Or is successful living a process that starts in your own mind? In this updated New Thought classic, Dr Raymond Charles Barker explains the science of successful living, loud and clear. As one of the leading visionaries of his time, Dr Barker's influence is alive and well in many of the books and lessons being taught today throughout the New Thought community. Dr Barker writes: "The creative power in life is mind. That is its primary quality and its most basic function. The universe is the result of a mathematical thinker, thinking mathematically. . . The universe is actually a mental system. Its primary nature is the process of ideas becoming form. Every fact in your world is, also, an idea in your mind. To get new things in your world you must have new ideas in your consciousness. Few people do enough abstract thinking to create new ideas in their minds . . . The infiltration of new ideas in the mind is essential to healthy living. You exist in an infinite Mind which offers you an ever expanding variety of ideas. Ideas are seeking to be born in your mind."

In 1849, Ralph Buckingham, a younger son of a youngest son of New England Pilgrim stock, went to California from his small-town Connecticut home. Landless, with no inheritance or trade of his own, Ralph sailed around the Horn, then traveled overland from San Francisco to gold country in the Trinity Mountains. He spent four years in northern California, struggling daily to earn enough to build a future. Sixty years later, back home in Connecticut, Ralph writes his story at the behest of the Newtown Bee newspaper man. Well-schooled in spite of his relative poverty, Ralph Buckingham quotes Boswell, Shakespeare, Dickens, Byron, and Sir Walter Scott as he describes the agonies and antics of men sluicing for gold amidst rattlesnakes and mosquitoes where Western civilization had not yet asserted itself. Recounting his adventures and the colorful-and later, famous-characters he met, Ralph describes in lively detail the geography and natural history of the lands where he traveled and worked. The newspaper columns from 1910-originally titled "Memories of a Forty-Niner"-were preserved by family members for a century, handed down through generations. These Newtown Bee articles, now transcribed and edited, tell the story of a young man who went into the wilds with a sharp eye and a sharp mind, and returned to tell those who stayed safely at home how it was to dig for gold when the West was still untamed.
