  • The Subtle Energies of Spirit: Explorations in Metaphysical and New Age Spirituality Catherine L
    Journal of the American Academy of Religion 67/2 AAH The Subtle Energies of Spirit: Explorations in Metaphysical and New Age Spirituality Catherine L. Albanese I If a quintessential metaphysical catechism were to be named, one of the major textual candidates would be H. Emilie Cady's Lessons in Truth—a basic for the Unity School of Christianity, a staple in its bookstores, and an often-cited work in its metaphysical communications. First published in 1894, the book features chapters that originated in a series of articles contributed to Unity publications from 1892 by Cady, a practicing physi- cian. Exact records of how many copies have been published are not avail- able, but the back cover of the 1967 edition offers one piece of evidence, announcing that the print order came to 60,000 copies per printing for many years and that this particular edition is the forty-fourth. Over thirty years later now, it is not unreasonable to estimate that some 3 million copies of the text have been printed. This work stands out not only because of its classical status but also because its slightly old-fashioned title Lessons in Truth conjures, in an especially marked way, the sense of belief in a fixed order of the universe that evocations of metaphysics initially convey. In this reified ontology there is a realm of absolute truth and reality, substantial and unchanging. Catherine L. Albanese is Professor of Religious Studies at the University of California, Santa Barbara, Santa Barbara CA 93106. 305 306 Journal of the American Academy of Religion By contrast, there is a world of mirage and illusion in which humans lose sight of the eternal.

  • The Science of Getting Rich” Written by Wallace D
    “The Science of Getting Rich” written by Wallace D. Wattles was first published in 1910 by Elizabeth Towne Publishing New York. The original text is now in public domain. However, this free e-book edition is not in public domain. It cannot be shared, distributed or reproduced in whole or in part. If you would like to share this e-book with others please direct them to our website www.thesecret.tv where a legitimate copy can be downloaded for free. Copy as preface page for e-book of “The Science of Getting Rich” A note from Rhonda Byrne, creator and executive producer of ‘The Secret’. Less than two years ago, at a time in my life when I was facing challenges from every direction – business, relationships, family, you name it – I stumbled across this book. Or, to be more accurate, IT stumbled across me! I can honestly say that, since that first night when a tattered printed transcript found its way to me (thanks to one of my daughters), my life has never been the same. Once you read it yourself, you will understand why. And “why” was the question I had been asking myself. Why are there people who seem to attract unlimited wealth into their lives, while others, equally as capable or talented or worthy, suffer from poverty and lack? As you’ll discover when you work your way through this wonderful little book, it has nothing to do with education, status, talent, environment, intellectual ability, physical prowess, or geography. Wallace Wattles explains, in simple, straightforward language, how ANYONE, regardless of their background or circumstances, can attract wealth into their lives.

He noticed that the original Teachings were far more powerful than the more modern teachings. The art of Materialization gave him millions of new choices and a life than can only be described as miraculous. He was able to retire at the young age of thirty eight.Volume one of A Course In Materialization has more than seven hundred pages of quotes from nineteen books by fourteen original teachers of the laws of abundance, prosperity, success, supply, opulence, attraction, power, compensation, love, affinity, harmony, imagination, ability, soul, mental control, manifestation, wholeness, increase, growth, liberty, individuality, spirit, reciprocity, the creative process, being, production, subjective mind, justice, unfolding substance, force, and related topics such as how to develop willpower, visualization, concentration, affirmations, and autosuggestion. A Course In Materialization is a transmission from the Infinite Consciousness to you. The goal in publishing A Course In Materialization is to create some of the most positive and uplifting books ever written.Most of the modern living teachers of the manifestation teachings have left out hundreds of important safeguards. Morality, ethics, integrity, unselfishness, compassion and character building are examples of some of those safeguards.Most of the original teachers in A Course In Materialization spent decades perfecting their understanding and practice of the Materialization Teachings.

  • Law of Attraction (New Thought)
    Law of attraction (New Thought) In the New Thought philosophy, the Law of Attraction is the belief that positive or negative thoughts bring positive or negative experiences into a person's life.[1][2] The belief is based on the ideas that people and their thoughts are made from pure energy, and that through the process of like energy attracting like energy a person can improve their health, wealth, and personal relationships. Advocates generally combine cognitive reframing techniques with affirmations and creative visualization to replace limiting or self-destructive ("negative") thoughts with more empowered, adaptive ("positive") thoughts. A key component of the philosophy is the idea that in order to effectively change one's negative thinking patterns, one must also "feel" (through creative visualization) that the desired changes have already occurred. This combination of positive thought and positive emotion is believed to allow one to attract positive experiences and opportunities by achieving resonance with the proposed energetic law.[3] The Law of Attraction has no scientific basis[4] and has been dubbed a pseudoscience.[5] A number of researchers have criticized the misuse of scientific concepts by its proponents.[4][6][7][8] Contents History Descriptions Philosophical and religious basis Criticism Prominent supporters See also Notes Sources External links History The New Thought (Law of Attraction Origins) grew out of the teachings of Phineas Quimby in the early 19th century. Early in his life, Quimby was diagnosed with tuberculosis. However, medicinal treatment wasn't working, so he began carriage riding through his hometown, Lebanon, New Hampshire. He then regained his health and recovered, an event that prompted his study of "mind over body".[9] Although he never used the words 'Law of Attraction', he explained this in a statement that captured the concept in the field of health: the trouble is in the mind, for the body is only the house for the mind to dwell in, and we put a value on it according to its worth.

I sent one of these pens to Chester, down at Lehigh College, and after weeks of hard usage, he says it’s a corker; one of the best pens, and neatest fil­ ler he has used!
