The Illusion Of Ownership
by Eckhart Tolle
To “own” something – what does it really mean? What does it mean to make something “mine”? If you stand on a street in New York, point to a huge skyscraper and say, “That building is mine. I own it,” you are either very wealthy or you are delusional or a liar. In any case, you are telling a story in which the thought form “I” and the thought form “building” merge into one. That’s how the mental concept of ownership works. If everybody agrees with your story, there will be signed pieces of paper to certify their agreement with it. You are wealthy. If nobody agrees with the story, they will send you to a psychiatrist. You are delusional, or a compulsive liar. (more…)

Reincarnation And The American Indian
by Manly P. Hall
In matters of philosophy and faith the American Indian is by nature an individualist. His convictions are influenced profoundly by his interpretation of the experiences of daily life, and by the visions and other mystical extensions of consciousness resulting from vigil, fasting, prayer, and meditation. Members of the same tribe may differ widely in their beliefs. Religious tolerance is general, and nonconformity brings no reproach if a man practices his beliefs with sincerity. Therefore, when an ethnologist asks some old sachem or an outstanding tribal citizen for a summary of the religion of his people, the learned elder, as likely as not, will elucidate his personal opinions of the subject. Thus many differing accounts may be secured from a single group. Due to this complication, all broad statements covering Indian theology are subject to a variety of exceptions. (more…)

Life After Death In The Astral Realms ~ Part III
By Harriette & F. Homer Curtiss
The Awakening
In the case of the majority of persons, the first emotion on awakening in the Astral World is an intense and weird loneliness, a confused consciousness of being surrounded by vague shadowy forms, and of being watched by innumerable eyes, yet without the ability fully to formulate their thoughts or understand by whom or what they are watched. For at this stage the awakened ones have not yet learned to use their astral senses or to discriminate among the strange sights, sounds and feelings. It must be remembered that in the Astral World for a time they are in the same relative position as is a new-born babe when it first opens its eyes to earth life. Could we enter into the babe’s feelings we would find vague memories of the life it had left, a sense of just awakening from a deep sleep (the period of gestation) and a newborn and uncomprehending wonder at the strange sights and sounds surrounding it. If, however, the ones passing over have studied or have had at least some understanding of what they are to expect, the confusion is but momentary. And if they have prepared for the change by having some wise Soul gather together their loved friends and relatives to meet them, it is a joyous reunion. (more…)

Canceling Out Past Negations ~ Part II
by Ernest L. Norman
Oh, yes, even though you develop this higher self, it too will have a dual personality. It too will have a negative and a positive 
self and it will be your problem in that world and in that time, even though it is much more advanced than your present position, the relative values as they are so concerned will be just as drastic, just as all-impelling, all-encompassing, and with just as great a number of differentials as they are in your present life. In that Higher World the negative side of your psychic anatomy or your personality can—and it will—cause you sickness, retrograde motions back into the lower planes if you do not work with the principles. If you are not constantly facing, shall I say, Infinite Creation positively—perhaps even much more so and to a much higher degree than you can even imagine at the present time—then surely you will reverse your progressiveness and retrogress. You will be one of those fallen angels I have talked about. (more…)

Unto Thee
About forty years ago, a Chinese representative of the ROSICRUCIAN BROTHERHOOD visited the Rosicrucian Fraternity in San Jose, California. He brought with him a manuscript which had been kept in a secret Asian archive for thousands of years. It was said to have been authored by the Egyptian Pharoah Akhnaton, historically the founder of monotheism. The Rosicrucians translated this book and published it under the title Unto Thee I Grant.
There is every indication throughout the work as it appears in the following that it was written by Amenhotep IV, Pharaoh of Egypt, during the years 1360 to 1350 B.C., or thereafter, or by some one of his successors in the great school of mysticism which he founded in Egypt. (more…)

Karmic Family Entanglements
by Gina Cerminara
Among the multitude of sorrows that befall men and women is the anguish of having brought into the world a defective child. Materially, it is a problem in extra care and expense; socially, it constitutes a kind of unspoken stigma; spiritually, it is a source of questioning the ways of God to men, and of deep anxiety for the welfare of the child.
To such parents the reincarnation principle can be a source of reassurance and courage. In the first place, it is evident on this principle that any abnormality is probably of karmic origin. There are a few instances in the Cayce files where a birth injury was pronounced to be non-karmic, but on the whole, birth deformities are highly indicative of some past life transgression. Secondly, the connection between parent and afflicted child is almost always of karmic origin also. Again and again, in readings taken on children suffering with mongolian idiocy, deafness, water on the brain, and many other tragic afflictions, one finds the phrase: “This is karma, for both the parent and the child.” (more…)

Samadhi
By Roger Gabriel (Images Credit – Jurgen Ziewe – Samadhi)
The Vedas tell you that everything in the Universe has awareness. Rocks, plants, animals, and humans all have awareness to a greater or lesser degree. The Vedas also state that only humans have the potential for self-awareness. Dogs, for example, don’t ask, “Who am I?” This means that every human being has the potential to become fully self-aware and reach the state of Samadhi. However, practice alone does not guarantee Samadhi. The Guru Gita says Moksha mulam, guroh kripa—the root of liberation is the Guru’s Grace. Grace of the Divine or its representative, an enlightened guru, is also required. To reach Samadhi, you have to deserve it. (more…)

Outer Space And They That Dwell Therein
by Bryant and Helen Reeve
If we are ever going to understand space craft and space people, the first thing we must understand is logically enough outer space itself. What is outer space? If we really understood the answer to this question, it would be the very key to our “conquest” of outer space, a task to which man on earth is even now seriously dedicating himself. Before we could build a submarine we needed to understand water, the medium in which the submarine had to operate. Before we could bring forth successful airplanes we had to learn more about the air itself. Before we can make any real progress in space flight, we will certainly have to expand our concepts and our understanding of the basic nature of outer space itself. It seems to us that many people these days have the cart before the horse. Or shall we say the saucer before the cup – before the cup of knowledge of outer space itself which must precede our understanding of space ships and space travel. (more…)

Jesus And The Essenes
by D.M. Hoover
The Essenes, as they came to be known, were said to have been formed around 500 B.C. when several masters of the priesthood formed a fraternity called Essaioli. According to early historians, such as Josephus, they lived peaceful disciplined and pious lives arising every morning before dawn for silent meditation and prayer. They were strict vegetarians who blessed everything they consumed before taking it into their bodies, for they revered all forms of life and this was a way in which they showed their respect. Their disciplined lifestyle devoid of all convenience and worldly possessions was a difficult one which required extreme devotion; consequently the number of people who chose to join remained relatively small throughout their history. Their dedication to focus solely on spiritual ideals is far different than the values most people, then and now, place on material attainment. (more…)

Canceling Out Past Negations ~ Part I
by Ernest L. Norman
From time to time and as it is so indicated, certain basic and fundamental concepts must be re-entered and re-postulated to 
prevent a common and erroneous practice which may be unconsciously indulged in by the student which would delete the intent and purpose of the Unariun teachings. In the beginning these teachings were presented in the simplest form possible to avoid confusion in the minds of those who were beginning to try and master these great and completely evolutionary concepts, for indeed, they may seem entirely contradictory to all known and common practices in ordinary societies.
One of the more important and fundamental Unariun concepts is that which is contained in the principle of cancellation, and as so postulated, refers of course to the cancellation of past experiences from the present life or from any and all other past lifetimes in which the student may have lived. For it is very important that these negative experiences and their negative relationship in the present life, as a source of illness or disease or other retrograde aspects of life, must be cancelled out in order to facilitate a more advanced evolutionary progression; for life is impossible in the higher planes of life and in the Spiritual Worlds when any person would be so weighed down and fettered with the material world dogmas, creeds and their attendant experience quotients.

The Power Of The Pyramid
by David Wilcock
The following research comes from the Institute of Physics in Kiev, Ukraine, a basic institution of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine, which was one of the leading scientific centers in the former USSR and the premier military research association.
Two steep pyramids with 70-degree slope angles were constructed in Russia near Moscow, one at a height of 22 meters and another at a height of 44 meters [144 feet] costing over a million dollars to build. Over the last 10 years, a total of 17 different pyramids have been built altogether. In order for the pyramid effects to emerge, it was found that no metal could be used in the construction of these structures, thus modular fiberglass plastics were used instead. The pyramids were aligned to the North Star and built away from populated areas in the natural countryside. At the base of the 22-meter pyramid, the fiberglass wall was 36 centimeters thick, and at the base of the 44-meter pyramid the fiberglass wall was 70 centimeters thick. The 22-meter pyramid weighed a total of 25 tons and the 44-meter pyramid weighed a total of 55 tons. Several different teams from the Russian Academy of Sciences carried out all sorts of experiments in these pyramids, with surprising results. (more…)

The Twelve Steps Or Elements Of An NDE ~ Part II
by Pim van Lommel
A Frightening NDE
Perhaps one to two percent of people with a near-death experience linger in a frightening dark space, unable to escape. To their horror, they sometimes find themselves pulled even deeper into the profound darkness. The NDE ends in this scary atmosphere, from where people reenter their body. The experience is devoid of positive emotions and later stirs profound feelings of guilt. In fact, such a terrifying NDE usually produces long-lasting emotional trauma. Not surprisingly, it is also known as a “hell experience.” The exact number of people who experience such a frightening NDE is unknown because they often keep quiet out of shame and guilt. Yet if people can accept and make sense of this negative experience, they too eventually exhibit positive change. Evans Bush’s study has shown that people who have a frightening experience are not necessarily bad people. One possible explanation is that everybody has some negative character traits and that during a frightening NDE one or more such negative aspects are magnified for later analysis. A person is not defined by such a negative character trait although this does not make the experience any less intense. (more…)

The Twelve Steps Or Elements Of An NDE
by Pim van Lommel
Moody’s NDE Classification
In 1975 psychiatrist Raymond Moody wrote his first book on near-death experience. In it he described twelve different NDE steps but emphasized that most people experience only a few. It is rare for all steps or to be reported. Each NDE is unique and is experienced as a coherent episode rather than a series of clearly distinct steps. The order of the reported steps can also vary a little. At this point I should mention a comparative study that looked at whether there is any difference between NDE accounts recorded before and after 1975. The question was whether the publicity that followed the publication of Moody’s book had any influence on the contents of an NDE. However, the study showed that all the NDE elements he mentioned were reported just as frequently before as after 1975; the sole exception was the tunnel experience, which was reported a little less often in the past. The NDE and its effect on patients appear to be essentially the same worldwide except for some culture-specific differences in content and interpretation. One intercultural study shows that certain NDE elements, such as the panoramic life review and tunnel experience, are reported less frequently by the indigenous peoples of North America, Australia, and the islands in the South Pacific.

Helping Stuck Souls Crossover
by Rev. Gary Duncan
When I was twelve years old, my brother – a Funeral Director – began introducing me into the business. Over the next several years, he taught me anatomy and physiology, principles of mortuary science as well as other aspects of the profession. By the time I was twenty-one, I had completed my mortuary apprenticeship, but decided to leave the profession and pursue a degree in psychology.
Working in the funeral business gave me a rich understanding of the dying process, people’s experiences at death and personal experiences preparing the body for burial. It was here that I became acquainted with a phenomenon I call “the watchers.” Both my brother and I, at times while preparing the body, would feel the soul of the departed watching us. It was as though there were three people in the preparation room rather than two. (more…)

Remote Spirit Releasement Therapy
by William J. Baldwin, Ph.D.
Remote spirit releasement is done at a distance for another person. In other words, the person needing such assistance is not physically present in my office with me. The client in front of me acts as intermediary, a surrogate, on behalf of the target person, the one who needs the releasement work.
It is essential that the entity or entities attached to the target person not be invited or allowed to incorporate into, attach to, speak through, or control the surrogate, our client, in any way. The surrogate is not required to channel the entities. That would amount to inviting a possession of the person acting as the intermediary. Like a simultaneous translator at the United Nations, the surrogate relays the words of the entities once the intruders are discovered. (more…)
