Yogic Philosophy: Discourse On Spiritual Evolution
by William Walker Atkinson
The beautiful doctrine of Spiritual Evolution, that gem in the diadem of the Yogic Philosophy is sadly misunderstood and misinterpreted, even by many who are its friends. The mass of uninformed people confuse it with the crudest ideas of the ignorant races of Asia and Africa – believe that it teaches that the souls of men descend into the bodies of the lower animals after death. And under the guise of high teachings regarding Reincarnation, many promulgate theories holding that the soul of man is bound to the wheel of human rebirth, and must live in body after body – whether it will or not – until certain great cycles are past, when the race moves on to another planet. All of these misconceptions, however, are based upon the real truth – they are the truth, but not the whole truth. It is true that the soul of a brutal, selfish, bestial man, after death, will be drawn by the force of its own desires toward rebirth in the body of some of the lower and more beast-like races of man – it has failed in its class work, and has been sent back to a lower grade. But the soul that has once reached the stage of even primitive Manhood, never can sink back into the plane of lower animal life. As bestial as it may be, it still has acquired something that the animal lacks, and that something it can never lose. And likewise, although the race – as a race – must wait until certain periods are reached before it may move onward, yet the individual who has risen beyond the need of immediate rebirth, is not compelled to reincarnate as a man of the present stage of development, but may wait until the race “catches up” to him, as it were, when he may join it in its upward swing, the intervening period being spent either in the higher planes of the Astral World or in conscious temporary sojourn in other material spheres, helping in the great work of the evolution of all Life.

Removing Prejudice/Finding Peace
by James Allen
He who aspires to the bettering of himself and humanity should ceaselessly strive to arrive at the exercise of that blessed attitude of mind by which he is enabled to put himself, mentally and sympathetically in the place of others, and so, instead of harshly and falsely judging them, and thereby making himself unhappy without adding to the happiness of those others, he will enter into their experience, will understand their particular frame of mind, and will feel for them and sympathize with them.
One of the great obstacles to the attainment of such an attitude of mind is prejudice, and until this is removed it is impossible to act toward others as we would wish others to act toward us. (more…)

Excursions To The Spirit World ~ Part III
by Frederick C. Sculthorp
THE BRIGHTER SPHERES
Simplicity of Bright Planes
As I mentioned before, my travels became very different and at first were mostly to the lower spheres or dull states, but before coming back to my body I was generally taken to a brighter locality or sphere. There is a reason for this as the condition of the lower state is apt to cling, and this might produce a disagreeable after-effect.
The vibrations of such places have a very pleasant effect on the sensitive spirit body, and to be with others of that plane is better still as they emit a feeling of great friendship.
This radiation of friendliness is very sincere and noticeable owing, I expect, to the greater extent of their auras, which I cannot see in these bright states. I have been able to see the auras of the advanced ones only when they show in greater contrast to the dull astral planes. (more…)

Mental Attunement
by Ruth E. Norman
Because some have asked regarding the extent of one’s ability to conceive and progress in any one lifetime, let it be said that it is
frankly very doubtful that the majority of persons would make all the headway possible in any particular earth life for, in most cases, people are too into their own physical material life.
In the case of this entity, as has been mentioned, due to the existing need, the briefness of time to accomplish all things and because of much preparation, she feels as though just about all has been worked out and conceived which has been set up to do. After man actually sets out upon the more progressive pathway, we plan while on the Inner just what we shall accomplish and learn while on this side; and it does seem this has been completely accomplished, other than the remaining testimonial books to be published. But there exists a sense of completeness and peace – a peace possible only through the severance or separation of self from past influences and ties. (more…)

Remarkable Achievements Of The Lemurians
by Wisher S. Cerve
Aside from the unusual psychic development or spiritual unfoldment attained by the Lemurians and which gave them unusual advantages in a purely personal and individual sense, the people as a race and as a nation attained a high degree of development in the arts and sciences and in the mastership of worldly problems.
When it is said in modern writings that the ancient Egyptians attained a degree of civilization and intellectual mastership that was superior to our present day attainments, this is generally said in a relative way, for it is only relatively true. When we say that the Lemurians reached a higher degree of civilization then we have reached, it is likewise meant in a relative sense, although there are some evidences of attainment that were actually beyond the scientific achievements of modern times.

How Past Life Exploration Can Heal Your Life ~ Part IV
by Denise Linn
Relationships
Perhaps more than any other clue, the dynamics of your relationships can offer powerful insights into who you were. We tend to subconsciously and symbolically recreate events from our far past, especially from those experiences that were never resolved. Every reenactment is a way to heal those unsettled situations. For example, when Moses and John were growing up, they were next-door neighbors. They were friends but Moses always tended to resent John, and for some reason John put up with it. One summer the two teens decided to go on a canoe trip together. As they paddled, their canoe overturned and Moses was caught in the current. John, at great effort – and almost at the expense of his own life – was able to rescue Moses.
From that point on their relationship almost magically transformed, and Moses no longer resented his friend. John later discovered that in a past life, they’d both been native South Americans. On a canoe trip during that lifetime, Moses had fallen out of the boat but John didn’t try to save him. Moses had drowned, which caused the lingering resentment in the present time. Reliving the original event shifted the dynamics between them. (Remember, it can be a symbolic or an actual reenactment of the situation. For example, if Moses felt that he was drowning financially and John had saved him, that also might have balanced the original karma.) (more…)

Astral Journeys Into The Afterlife
with Jurgen Ziewe and Mike Marable
A discussion between Mike Marable and Jurgen Ziewe, two out of body travelers who are discussing the phenomena of Astral Travel. This episode: Just like on Earth, Astral Travelers are not allowed to abuse their power and also, just like on Earth, at least on the lower density levels, money can still play a role in the everyday Afterlife. The experience of reality during Astral Travel can be so intense that it is no longer possible to see it as less real to physical life which can lead to much confusion. It is likely, that while here on earth, we may actually lead a double life on the Astral level without our physical brain being aware of it. (more…)

Reincarnation: Answering Unanswered Questions
by Irving S. Cooper
A century or so ago when, as the outcome of the struggle between science and theology, unreasoning faith in tradition and dogma began to give way to research and reason, a furious questioning of life and of the world arose. Nothing was exempt. The current ideas of God and the soul, of revelation and destiny, were torn to fragments as thoroughly as every speculative conception of the phenomenal world. It was a period of intellectual revolution, and the thinkers of the race, exulting in their freedom, determined to destroy utterly every falsehood that had weighed them down. Unfortunately, in the hurry of destruction, they cast aside many a truth.
Materialism was the inevitable outcome of such a reaction, and at first it did seem able to answer satisfactorily the questions propounded. People hopefully persuaded themselves that all things and all events in the universe, including the workings of the mind, could easily and logically be explained in terms of matter. It was believed that there was nothing in the universe but force and matter and the laws governing them. It was joyfully affirmed that the old beliefs, which had kept civilization so long in confinement, were dead forever. God was a myth, the soul a fancy, destiny the grinding of the world-machine, religion a tissue of childish legends interwoven with more or less wholesome ethics. And so, on the morning of this new intellectual day, rationalistic science overthrew its ancient antagonist, theology, and strode on to further conquests. (more…)

Tartaria: The Hidden Empire
by David Vanderper
What Is Tartaria?
Tartaria (originally pronounced “Tataria” without the first “r”) is the name of the pre-Mongolian empire that originated in northern Asia before spanning the entire northern hemisphere. Great Tartaria was the largest empire during its time and would have still been the largest empire today. The Tartarian Empire flourished due in part of the civilization being a leader in advanced technology, free energy, and grand architecture.
Tartaria is also where the Greek word “Tartarus” originated from.
The denotation of lost souls spending eternity in Tartarus the underworld is due to the Tartarian Empire having been buried and wiped out during the mud flood. The world of the Tartarians is literally the world under our world. The underworld. Tartarus wasn’t the underworld and will never be the underworld. Tartaria is the underworld. The religionists used the Mud Flood deluge and how it wiped out the Tartarian Empire to confuse the populous into thinking they would join those in the “underworld” if they challenged the religious authority.

Star Wards: Welcome Home Earthman ~ Part II
by Richard T. Miller
Earth became sort of a private preserve for the Galactic Survey to study. Apparently, there were beacons out in space that warned other spaceships away from the area, etc., advising them not to land on the planet or contact its people. (You might say – don’t land, the natives are restless.)
They felt there had to be a continuous observation of the planet, the people, and the children that would be growing up in succeeding generations. The Confederation later decided to put some fixed installations of their own on Earth because they couldn’t keep a ship circling overhead continuously. They did construct some hidden, fixed installations on Earth and staffed them.
But they found out something very interesting. After the first staff had been on Earth for almost a year, they started bickering with one another. They studied this abnormal behavior and discovered that it took a little over nine months for whatever it was affecting the Earth to start affecting their people staffing the installations. They set up a schedule where they rotated their staff each six months at each installation. (more…)

The Community Life Of The Lemurians
by Wisher S. Cerve
All the scientific analyses of the life of primitive man intimate that in the beginning of his earthly existence he lived separately and suspiciously isolated from others in the bows of trees or in caves along the banks of rivers until he learned whom he might trust among all the creatures of the animal kingdom. And we are told that he learned to trust a few animals of species lower than man and learned to trust a few of his companions and that eventually he domesticated the few animals he could trust and made friends of the men and women he could trust and these he gathered together in his immediate vicinity and constituted them as the elements of his community life.

Star Wards: Welcome Home Earthman
by Richard T. Miller
[These events took place in] Detroit, Michigan in the summer of 1954. This fellow, George Hunt (Rick) Williamson, came to Detroit to talk on communicating with space intelligences by short-wave radio. He told a story about how he and a fellow who was a telegrapher with the Santa Fe Railroad in Arizona, also a ham radio operator, had gotten in touch with UFOs using this fellow’s ham radio equipment. They had communicated by International Morse Code and had received intelligent replies.
My ham radio buddies and I went to hear Williamson’s talk. Afterwards, we introduced ourselves and said we were interested. Could he tell us what frequency they had used. He gave us a list of the frequencies. We said we would listen for any type of communication on those frequencies. He asked if we would let him know if anything occurred. I said he would be the first to know; just let us know how we could reach him. He gave us his itinerary, as he was on a lecture tour. (more…)

Cancer Alternative Therapies
by Ralph R. Hovnanian
“Every man his own doctor.” – 1830’s US slogan
“There is a principle which is a bar against all information, which is proof against all argument, & which cannot fail to keep a man in everlasting ignorance. That principle is condemnation without investigation.” – Herbert Spencer
“The mind of the bigot is like the pupil of the eye. The more light you pour upon it, the more it will contract.” – Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr.
“Beware of prejudice; light is good in whatsoever lamp it is burning; a rose is beautiful in whatever garden it may bloom.” – Abdul Baha
The most frequent criticism of Alternative, Unorthodox, “Unproven”, Therapies of Cancer is that they are based on anecdotal evidence, rather than double blind controlled clinical trials, with statistical confidence. This treatise [see link below] is intended to calm that criticism, by harvesting from the literature sundry & such statistics, & standardizing them into an assimilatable “Table I Matrix” herein.

The Mental And Psychic Development Of The Lemurians
by Wisher S. Cerve
Aside from what we know of the descendants of the Lemurians and through a study of them discover the high degree of development achieved by their ancestors, there are many ancient records which refer to, and fairly accurately describe, the mental and spiritual development of the people at the time that Lemuria was in the height of its power. Ever must we keep in mind the fact that the civilization of Lemuria had developed through aeons of time. Europe may speak of its long periods of culture, and Rome and Athens may speak of the great heritage which was theirs, and even Egypt may boast of a long period of intellectual development, while we in America rejoice in the fact that there are some centuries of culture and development back of our present generation; but when Lemuria was in the height of her power she could boast of thousands of centuries of development.
In addition to the long period of time through which the Lemurians had learned the lessons of life and attained mastership through perseverance, industry, study and cooperation with the highest laws, they had the advantage of being free from the contaminating influence of false knowledge and a material conception of life.
