Proof Of A Winter Solstice Energy Projection?
As explained in On The True Nature Of Christmas – Part I regarding the Winter Solstice:
“…winter solstice is on the 21st day of December; in the concept of pure science, it can be said that the earth passes through a large line of magnetic force on that particular day, so that with the conjunction of this magnetic force with the earth, we are enabled at that time, during the brief period of several earth days to project into the earth much energy of the Radiant nature, which is sometimes called spiritual, which means so much and is of such great value to the dweller in the lower terrestrial dimensions.”
So did Earth receive an energy projection around Winter Solstice? (more…)

The Secret Behind The Great Religions
by Paul M. Vest
From the dawn of civilization the Great Sphinx of Gizeh has crouched in the burning sands of Egypt propounding to the world the formidable mystery of man.
With the cruel claws of a beast of prey but with godlike countenance and mystic eyes fixed in spiritual contemplation, the Sphinx seems to ask of all who gaze upon it, “Man, what art thou? From whence do you come? Whither are you going? Have you crawled up slowly and painfully from the primordial slime or are you an immortal Being whose home is with God?”
All the religions and philosophies of the world have endeavored through the centuries to answer these riddles. Many organized sects have authoritatively claimed a monopoly of truth and denounced all other teachings as false and idolatrous. (more…)

The Unfoldment Of Life
by Prof. Michael Faraday
Ever since the creation of the world, man, animal, bird and vegetable kingdom existed. They have all been developed to a higher plane of sensibility; man’s finer faculties of intellect are also responsible in a great measure, for the alertness and intelligence of animals; for in his progression he causes all forms of life to do likewise. You see in the spring time the unfoldment of the grass, the leaf and the wild flowers that nature has planted with her own will. Can you conceive of anything more pure and innocent than the flower? Many writers tell you that man evolved from the lower form or type of the animal kingdom; such is not the case, for man has always existed as man, but through the spiritual unfoldment alone he has become civilized; in a great measure, men have been brought to realize that through their own efforts, they are powerful to free themselves from their barbarous and uncivilized condition. Nature did not intend man to war against his brother, for all life evolved from the one great Source of all Intelligence; and that is Love! The same elements that are required to make one piece of machinery, must be also used to make others, and so with the human being, the only difference is that the elements in the machinery are of grosser matter than the millions of atoms in the human being. Did you ever stop to think what a wonderful piece of mechanism is man! First, the atomic stage, the embryonic condition, and then the earthly life of man. All life is unfolded in darkness because darkness is negative, and light is positive. These two forces are essential in all forms of life; therefore, it requires the same elements to produce any spiritual manifestation. (more…)

Mental Illness: The Presence Of Spirits In Madness
by Jerry Marzinsky, BA M.Ed
I offer this essay to affirm and update Dr. Wilson Van Dusen’s research on the voices schizophrenics hear which he presented in his chapter called The Presence of Spirits in Madness in his 1974 book “The Presence of Other Worlds”. His book validates the work of the eighteenth-century Christian Mystic, scientist and philosopher, Emanuel Swedenborg who produced volumes of profound documentation as a result of reaching into the depths of his own mind and spiritual worlds beyond. Van Dusen’s book inspired thousands to look more closely into Swedenborg’s work.
In their combined works both Wilson Van Dusen and Emanuel Swedenborg acknowledged that these Voices are conscious spirit beings and not hallucinations or the result of brain malfunctions. My clinical findings corroborate their work. In the process I have discovered important new information about the voices schizophrenics hear and how to weaken and get rid of them. These findings contradict the commonly held belief that paranoid schizophrenics suffer from hallucinations which are a result of a brain misfiring due to a chemical imbalance. (more…)

What I Lived For At Walden’s Pond
by Henry David Thoreau
At a certain season of our life we are accustomed to consider every spot as the possible site of a house. I have thus surveyed the country on every side within a dozen miles of where I live. In imagination I have bought all the farms in succession, for all were to be bought, and I knew their price. I walked over each farmer’s premises, tasted his wild apples, discoursed on husbandry with him, took his farm at his price, at any price, mortgaging it to him in my mind; even put a higher price on it — took everything but a deed of it — took his word for his deed, for I dearly love to talk — cultivated it, and him too to some extent, I trust, and withdrew when I had enjoyed it long enough, leaving him to carry it on. This experience entitled me to be regarded as a sort of real-estate broker by my friends. Wherever I sat, there I might live, and the landscape radiated from me accordingly. What is a house but a sedes, a seat? — better if a country seat. I discovered many a site for a house not likely to be soon improved, which some might have thought too far from the village, but to my eyes the village was too far from it. Well, there I might live, I said; and there I did live, for an hour, a summer and a winter life; saw how I could let the years run off, buffet the winter through, and see the spring come in. The future inhabitants of this region, wherever they may place their houses, may be sure that they have been anticipated. An afternoon sufficed to lay out the land into orchard, wood-lot, and pasture, and to decide what fine oaks or pines should be left to stand before the door, and whence each blasted tree could be seen to the best advantage; and then I let it lie, fallow, perchance, for a man is rich in proportion to the number of things which he can afford to let alone.

Thanksgiving Reflections
by Tish Brown
Let’s give thanks that we are eternal.
After all we are composed of atoms and atoms are energy. Energy cannot be created or destroyed but only change.
Let’s give thanks for the powerhouse we know of as Infinity.
For without which nothing would exist. The Infinite is the energy behind the energy.

A Preacher’s Reflection In The Afterlife
by Anthony Borgia
The spirit communicator of this book was known on earth as Monsignor Robert Hugh Benson, a son of Edward White Benson, former Archbishop of Canterbury, and he was at the height of his renown, both as preacher and author, when I first met him many years ago.
After he had passed from this life, I many times wondered as to his welfare. Through a spirit friend I was told that he was well and prospering, and that in time I should hear from him directly.
Such eventually proved to be the case, and there commenced a series of scripts given by him, the first of which, “Life in the World Unseen”, gave an account in some detail of his actual passing. He recounted how, at the close of his earthly life, he was met by a former colleague named Edwin, and taken by him to the spirit world, where his home awaited him, a counterpart of his house on earth. After a brief rest he commenced his explorations, under Edwin’s guidance, of the land of his new life. During the course of their rambles they met a young girl of great charm, named Ruth, also a newcomer to the spirit world, who joined them, and the three have been together ever since, closely associated in work and pleasure.

The Value Of Concept In Spiritual Progression ~ Part II
by Ernest L. Norman
Every person does, from the time of death until the time of rebirth, live in some spiritual world, and to the materialist this is indeed a
very nebulous, gray and hazy world wherein he finds himself without his physical body, simply because he does not have the necessary forms of consciousness to maintain a conscious relationship with the spiritual world in which he finds himself; and all of his values of life are posed upon material values which no longer exist in the spiritual world about him. Consciousness to this degree, however, is fortunately not completely justified in all intents and purposes, for overshadowing any human being in this nether world of spiritual values is that Higher Superconsciousness, that spiritual cell or nucleus, which has been created in cyclic patterns by the Infinite Consciousness.

Early Memories Of Ernest & Ruth Norman
Our Joining (Their First Meeting)
by Ruth Norman
It was a matter of a few days after leaving the desert (taking a house trailer with me) that I met Ernest at a Spiritualist church, one I had never attended before and where a convention was being held. One of the choicest bits of phenomena to us pertained to the three spiritual white-robed, white-haired and bearded, ancient, learned Ones who, as Ernest said, carried about with them huge books. These Ancients (denoting great wisdom) were seen psychically with Ernest during several years prior to this by other clairvoyants who often told him these books represented those which he would one day write. Earlier that very evening, Ernest said, a ‘sensitive’ told him, “Whenever you are ready, now you can start to write the books.” Ernest replied, “I’m ready.”

How Science Supports Spirituality
by David Ash
When religion, shorn of its superstitions, traditions and unintelligent dogmas, shows its conformity with science, then there will be a great unifying, cleansing force in the world, which will sweep before it all wars, disagreements, discords and struggles, and then will mankind be united in the power of the love of God. ~Abdu’l-Baha
Yogis in ancient India probed the atom with their Siddhi powers and literally saw how energy forms mass; they saw quantum spin. David Ash, an unrecognized British scientist, has applied the yogic discovery to modern physics. The result is a self‐contained science that is so simple everyone can understand and spirituality is supported by the revolutionary theory as well. (more…)

Life And Mind Among The Atoms
by William Walker Atkinson
To the majority of persons the title of this article would seem an absurdity. Not to speak of Inorganic “Mind,” the idea of “Life” in the Inorganic World would seem a ridiculous paradox to the “man on the street” who thinks of Substance as “dead,” lifeless and inert. And, to tell the truth, even Science has held this view until a comparatively recent period, laughing to scorn the old Occult Teaching that the Universe is Alive, and capable of Thinking. But the recent discoveries of modern Science has changed all this, and we no longer hear Science speaking of “dead Matter” or “blind Force”—it recognizes that these terms are meaningless, and that the dreams of the old Occultists are coming true. Science confronts a live and thinking Universe. She is dazzled by the sight, and would shade her eyes, fearing to see that which she feels must present itself to her vision when her eyes become accustomed to the sight. (more…)

Eliminating The Static Of Fear From The Mind Radio
by Paramahansa Yogananda
Everything in the universe is composed of energy, or vibration. The vibration of words is, by extension, a grosser expression of the vibration of thoughts. The thoughts of all men are vibrating in the ether. Because thoughts have such a high vibratory rate, they have not yet been detected there, but it is fortunate that we do not know the thoughts of all men.
Through the instrumentality of radio, you can push a button and lo, you hear music and voices. If it were not for the intelligence in the ether, through which the radio waves travel to your receiving set, you might hear all the different broadcasts at once. God created the ether, and He planned that man would create radio and radio-wave vibrations which could be transmitted and received through this medium. Radio waves depend on the ether for transmission, and on electricity for amplification in broadcasting and receiving. The sounds of radio broadcasting are always present in the ether, but are inaudible to us without a radio instrument. The vibratory radio-waves represent thoughts that are being transmitted through space into any receiving set that is tuned in. (more…)

Recalling Far Memory
by Joan Grant
I was twenty-nine before I managed to recover the technique of being able to relive an earlier incarnation in detail and as a deliberate exercise. Until then, my conviction that I had had many lifetimes before I was born of English parents, in London, on the 12th of April 1907, was based on disjointed episodes from seven previous lives, four male and three female. These episodes, although as natural as memories from more immediate yesterdays, are frustrating, because I could not fill in the gaps in continuity which would have linked them into coherent sequences.
That everyone else did not have even this small degree of far memory was so difficult to understand, that until I was eleven I presumed that other people’s reticence about their own long history was only another of the incomprehensible taboos that complicated an Edwardian childhood. I also thought that everyone else had second sight; for as grown-ups pretended not to see each other if they met while scuttling in dressing gowns to the bathroom, it seemed no more, and no less, illogical that they pretended to ignore anyone who did not happen to be conventionally clothed in a physical body.

Illusions
by Richard Bach
1. There was a Master come unto the earth, born in the holy land of Indiana, raised in the mystical hills east of Fort Wayne.
2. The Master learned of this world in the public schools of Indiana, and as he grew, in his trade as a mechanic of automobiles.
3. But the Master had learnings from other lands and other schools, from other lives that he had lived. He remembered these, and remembering became wise and strong, so that others saw his strength and came to him for counsel.
4. The Master believed that he had power to help himself and all mankind, and as he believed so it was for him, so that others saw his power and came to him to be healed of their troubles and their many diseases.
5. The Master believed that it is well for any man to think upon himself as a son of God, and as he believed, so it was, and the shops and garages where he worked became crowded and jammed with those who sought his learning and his touch, and the streets outside with those who longed only that the shadow of his passing might fall upon them, and change their lives.

Solitude
by James Allen
“Why idly seek from outward things
The answer inward silence brings?
Why climb the far-off hills with pain,
A nearer view of heaven to gain?
In lowliest depths of bosky dells
The hermit Contemplation dwells,
Whence, piercing heaven, with screened sight,
He sees at noon the stars, whose light
Shall glorify the coming night.”
Whittier.
“In the still hour when passion is at rest
Gather up stores of wisdom in thy breast.”
Wordsworth.
Man’s essential being is inward, invisible, spiritual, and as such it derives its life, strength, from within, not from without. Outward things are channels through which its energies are expended, but for renewal it must fall back on the inward silence. (more…)
