For many years, the subject matter encompassed by the title of this book was largely limited to those who were interested in the two most economically important organic materials found buried in the Earth, namely, coal and petroleum. The point of view of any discussions which might occur, either in scientific meetings or in books that have been written, was, therefore, dominated largely by these interests. A great change has occurred in the last decade. This change had as its prime mover our growing knowledge of the molecular architecture of biological systems which, in turn, gave rise to a more legitimate asking of the question: "How did life come to be on the surface of the Earth?" A second motivation arose when the possibilities for the exploration of planets other than the Earth-the moon, Mars, and other parts of the solar system-became a reality. Thus the question of the possible existence of life elsewhere than on Earth conceivably could be answered.

This Is A New Release Of The Original 1911 Edition.

"She is eerily cabalistic, a strangely esoteric embodiment of the ethereal, this Delphic Oracle of Oracles who is possessed with a knowledge of past, present and future that defies "reason" (as she so aptly identifies the problem with mankind). Take Nostradamus, Casey and mix with Edgar Allen Poe and you have the essence of this author." She has nurtured a dialogue with the OTHERES, inter-dimensional beings, who inform her writings. Among the most easily recognized mystic communications are riddles, parables, fables...it is woven in symbols, dreams, allegory, apocrypha, metaphor & psycho-speak. Mystic writers often speak of being in a trance, dream-state, altered-consciousness, or channeling god or other entities from beyond." MYSTICS, within the context of their writing, are communicating something other than what is read at the surface...there is the literal meaning; misunderstood or not understood at all & there is the veiled meaning.
