Copijrigkted 1922 All Rigkts Reserved m ^ m2 >CI.A683803 -vio I — Introductory The sole object of this book is the announcement of the coming of the Christ—to the individual. How will we know the Christ when he comes? If the Christ has been conceived, nurtured and resurrected within us then we will know. We have the absolute proofs con- stantly before our vision. We speak with authority. There is no necessity for guess-work. Theory has given way to knowl- edge and understanding. Whereas before we merely believed saw as through a glass darkly, now we know. Just as man waking from a night of good normal sleep regains consciousness and knows that he is conscious, in like manner does the soul of man, when aroused from its sleep, in the temple of flesh and carnality, know that it has regained con- sciousness. The conscious Individuality—the personality trans- muted into the individuality—this is the Christ newly arisen. "We have also a more sure word of prophecy; whereunto, ye do well that ye take heed as unto a light shining in a dark place (the awakening soul in the human body), until the day dawns, and the day star arises in your hearts. "Knowing the prophecy came not in olden time by the will of man; but Holy (Illuminated) men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost (the soul baptized by the Fires from heaven)." Had Peter never spoken another word herein would men find indicated the "Way, the Truth, and the Life." When the THE SCIENCE OF THE SOUL heart conceives that it is encased in a vault of error and through its longings arouses the mind to constructive action then is born the Christ child, and as this new born babe grows into manhood the "day star" commences to arise in the soul. The prophecy of the second coming is now being fulfilled: "the time is at hand," and "ye do well to take heed." We do not teach the return of Jesus in the flesh to set up a kingdom here on earth, nor to gather a certain few, erroneously believed to be pre-destined for heaven. We are proclaiming the advent of the Christos, the Individualization and Illumination of the Soul; the Conception of God, and the At-one-ment of man with the All Father. Not the advent of a self-righteous few, but of All men who will take heed and live the godly life. "Verily, verily, I say unto you, the hour is coming, and now is, when the dead (those living in sin and carnality) shall hear the voice of the son of God (the inner conscience) ; and they that hear shall live." This promise was not made to man who should live many centuries after the time of the prophecy, but to each and every human soul, commencing at the moment it was made (now) and to all in the coming time. It was a promise potent to all who would listen to the voice of God within themselves; who would obey the law, live the life and so reap the reward. The world has been foolishly looking forward to the com- ing of a Christ who would take upon himself their weakness, and crimes and who would have the authority to absolve their unworthy souls from the just penalty of their wrongdoings. Many so-called teachers, for personal reasons of their own, have proclaimed such a Messiah; despite the fact that it is written Jesus said: "Many shall come in my name saying, I THE SCIENCE OF THE SOUL am Christ, and shall deceive many." Jesus did more, he ex- plained the signs preceding the coming of the Christos: "As the lightning cometh out of the East and shineth even unto the West, so shall also the coming of the son of man be." Interpreted this would indicate that as the lightning comes from one part of the earth and dispels the darkness in other parts, so does the awakened mind, the electrical or building forces of the mind, send the constructive energies through the body—or little world—and arouses the soul, bringing it to consciousness. Strange that prophets, priests and sages have given so little thought to the meaning of the several verses quoted. Words could hardly be plainer, though sheathed in the symbolism of heaven. "Lightning which cometh out of the East." The East has always been considered the Center of Wisdom. In all true Initiation men look to the East for wisdom—they travel East. Lightning is symbolic of dispelling the darkness, thus wisdom frees the mind from ignorance. Wisdom is the electrical, or constructive, vibration from heaven. Mind is the supreme creator of the universe. The thoughts, which for ages lived in the great souls of prophets, priests and sages, the desires and prayers of the Ancient Mystics, have penetrated into the inner- most recesses of the Western World. The Soul of the Christos —the Son of God—has spread its wings over the entire world and the hour of acceptance is at hand. "The dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God; and they that hear shall live." Those who have wasted their lives seeking among the illusions and snares of the earth—those who are dead to the 8 THE SCIENCE OF THE SOUL saving wisdom; not having accepted the words of truth and freedom, and failing to build the soul on the Rock of Truth, shall yet live if they will hear the voice of Conscience and work in harmony with it. "Out of the Throne proceeded lightnings and thunderings and voices; and there were seven lamps of fire burning before the Throne, which were the spirits of God." Soul Science is the Baptism of Fire—it is the forerunner of the baptism of the Soul by the Holy Ghost. The second coming of the Christos—the attainment of Sonship and At-one- ment, was promised unto all men who would listen to the voice of the Conscience and so awaken the soul. The Soul itself is the Great White Throne in the Temple and it is God who will pour the seven spirits or gifts upon the Altar near the throne. Before Jesus, and in the age of Apollonius of Tyana, came John the Baptist. He came crying in the wilderness of error. "Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make his paths straight." He came preparing the people for the acceptance of the Truth. He said: "I am come baptising with water (mental awakening), but one mightier than I cometh, the latchets of whose shoes I am not worthy to unloose; he shall baptise you with fire (the Holy Ghost)." Water is the symbol of mind because it is never quiet, ever changing,—never the same. It is the cleanser, as also the awakener. We are told that John instructed and healed many. He was the mind, or mental healer. The world had waited long in a wilderness of darkness and error before it accepted the power and work of the mind, or mental healers—the temple cleansers. As John the Baptist looked forward to the greater demon- THE SCIENCE OF THE SOUL stration of power and glory from above, so did other great prophets look forward to a greater manifestation of power. It did not appear as they had expected; but the advent of the son of man is here as announced by John. The material age, the period of false beliefs and delusions, the time of darkness represented by the word Egypt, is fast passing. Egypt has darkness, unenlightenment long been synonymous with ; yet out of the darkness comes light, as out of the flesh comes the Fire. "And the earth was without form and void, and darkness (ignorance) was upon the face of the water (mind), and God said: "Let there be light (understanding), and there was light." Egypt once was the repository of all the teachings and mysteries of the ancients. It was the Sublime Hierophant of the true Light. From it were handed down all the esoteric in- culcations of the philosophers and Wise men. Over the tombs of the Pharoahs, within the pyramids and obelisks still live as in letters of Fire the symbolism of the One True God, the great Unknown, but Knowable One, who was then, is now, and ever shall be, the Light of the world. Moses gave these Truths to the Jews. Jesus brought it once again from the crypts and secret places to both Jew and Gentile, and "as the lightning flashes from the East and shineth even unto the West," so have these Words of Wisdom of the Living God, the Osiris of the Egyptians, the God of Moses, and the Saviors of the world, broken the darkened clouds of materialism and dead faiths, and spread the life-giving Light deep into the hearts of those who are seeking to know. Now the day of the great Awakening is at hand.

    WILLIAM DUDLEY PELLEY Y LA IDEOLOGÍA NAZI EN THE LIGHT IN THE DARK (1922), DE CLARENCE BROWN: LA DOCUMENTACIÓN HISTÓRICA COMO HERRAMIENTA INDISPENSABLE PARA EL ANÁLISIS DEL FILM. Carmen Guiralt Universidad de Valencia The Light in the Dark (1922) es un título relativamente poco conocido del cine clásico norteamericano que, sin embargo, desde el punto de vista historiográ- fico contiene numerosos puntos de interés: circunstancias atípicas de produc- ción, debut en solitario de su director, temática fantástica y pseudo-religiosa en conexión con el Santo Grial, uso de un nuevo proceso experimental de color Kodak, vinculación estilística con la vanguardia cinematográfica estadounidense, etc. Asimismo, presenta toda una historia posterior que implica su destrucción parcial a los pocos años de su estreno, con vistas a alterar su sentido y provocar una nueva lectura del film. Encierra, además, evidentes postulados nazis que han permanecido inadvertidos durante casi ocho décadas, debido a la inaccesibilidad de la película completa hasta 2003. BREVE HISTORIA DEL FILM Se distingue de la producción norteamericana de su época por su condición de film independiente, al margen de las grandes firmas. Fue financiada por el multimillonario Jules Brulatour, desde 1911 proveedor exclusivo de película vir- gen Eastman Kodak, y su rodaje tampoco tuvo lugar en Hollywood, sino en el Paragon Studio, en Fort Lee, New Jersey, propiedad del magnate. El acuerdo de Brulatour con George Eastman no le permitía pertenecer a ninguna corporación cinematográfica, y aunque

    Report to the U.S. Congress for the Year Ending December 31, 2010 Created by the U.S. Congress to Preserve America’s Film Heritage Created by the U.S. Congress to Preserve America’s Film Heritage April 14, 2011 Dr. James H. Billington The Librarian of Congress Washington, D.C. 20540-1000 Dear Dr. Billington: In accordance with The Library of Congress Sound Recording and Film Preservation Programs Reauthorization Act of 2008 (Public Law 110-336), I submit to the U.S. Congress the 2010 Report of the National Film Preservation Foundation. Twelve years have passed since the NFPF gave its first film preservation grant, and it is tremendously heartening to see how far we have come. At that time, only the largest institutions had the money and know-how to preserve their film collections. Now, thanks to the federal funding secured by the Library of Congress and resources contributed by the entertainment industry, we have broadened the playing field and enabled 217 archives, libraries, and museums across 48 states to step up to the plate. These efforts have rescued 1,706 films that might otherwise have been lost—newsreels, docu- mentaries, silent-era features, avant-garde films, home movies, industrials, and independent productions that record our history and culture. Films preserved through the NFPF programs are used widely in education and reach audiences everywhere through exhibition, television, video, and the Internet. Repatriation is the newest film preservation frontier. In 2009, I reported the beginnings of a ground- breaking collaboration to preserve and make available American silent-era films discovered at the New Zealand Film Archive.

    Report to the U.S. Congress for the Year Ending December 31, 2011 Created by the U.S. Congress to Preserve America’s Film Heritage Created by the U.S. Congress to Preserve America’s Film Heritage April 18, 2012 Dr. James H. Billington The Librarian of Congress Washington, D.C. 20540-1000 Dear Dr. Billington: In accordance with The Library of Congress Sound Recording and Film Preservation Programs Reauthorization Act of 2008 (P.L. 110-336), I submit to the U.S. Congress the 2011 Report of the National Film Preservation Foundation. When Congress created the NFPF 15 years ago, it put film preservation on the national agenda. At that time, only a handful of film archives had the capacity to save motion pictures documenting America’s history and culture. Now, thanks to federal funding secured by the Library of Congress and the contributions of the entertainment industry, organizations across all 50 states have joined the effort. Through the NFPF grant programs, 239 archives, libraries, and museums have rescued more than 1,870 films that might otherwise have been lost. These newsreels, documentaries, cartoons, silent-era works, avant-garde films, home movies, industrials, and independent productions are used in teaching and reach audiences everywhere through exhibition, television, video, and the Internet. Archives abroad are also a vital link in preserving America’s past. In the past three years, I’ve reported about our groundbreaking collaborations with Australia and New Zealand to save and make available American films that no longer survive in the United States. The initiatives have recovered remarkable treasures that had not been seen in our country for decades, including lost films by John Ford, Alfred Hitchcock, and Mabel Normand.

  • The Letters of Elizabeth Barrett Browning (1 of 2) by Frederic G
    The Letters of Elizabeth Barrett Browning (1 of 2) by Frederic G. Kenyon The Letters of Elizabeth Barrett Browning (1 of 2) by Frederic G. Kenyon Produced by Jonathan Ingram, Jonathan Ingram, Bill Hershey and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team. [Illustration: Elizabeth Barrett Browning] THE LETTERS OF ELIZABETH BARRETT BROWNING EDITED WITH BIOGRAPHICAL ADDITIONS by FREDERIC G. KENYON _WITH PORTRAITS_ IN TWO VOLUMES VOLUME I. page 1 / 626 _THIRD EDITION_ 1898 PREFACE The writer of any narrative of Mrs. Browning's life, or the editor of a collection of her letters, is met at the outset of his task by the knowledge that both Mrs. Browning herself and her husband more than, once expressed their strong dislike of any such publicity in regard to matters of a personal and private character affecting themselves. The fact that expressions to this effect are publicly extant is one which has to be faced or evaded; but if it could not be fairly faced, and the apparent difficulty removed, the present volumes would never have seen the light. It would be a poor qualification for the task of preparing a record of Mrs. Browning's life, to be willing therein to do violence to her own expressed wishes and those of her husband. But the expressions to which reference has been made are limited, either formally or by implication, to publications made during their own lifetime. They shrank, as any sensitive person must shrink, from seeing their private lives, their personal characteristics, above all, their sorrows and bereavements, offered to the inspection and criticism of the general public; and it was to such publications that their protests referred.
