The word yoga, which is derived from the Sanscrit root “Yug” to join, really means the merging of the lower self into the higher self, the Divine. By the study of yoga, darkness or ignorance is replaced with light, all undesirable tendencies are eliminated, and by degrees man becomes the Master. Any philosophy which teaches man to do this is worthy of study.

The unhappy man wants to be happy, the impoverished person wishes to become enriched, the sick man wants to be healed, and the lonely person wants love and friendship. These are fundamental needs of the human being and back of them is the need we all have to feel safe and secure in this world and in a world to come.

A fascinating story of how the teachings of Confucius came to the western world, told to a 17th century Englishman by an ancient ghost.

An intuitive imagination enjoys that supreme mode of understanding reality for which mystics crave. It "stands under" things; a reasoned system only "stands for" them.

It's amazing how relevant these century-old words of Bernard Shaw's are right now. Just like then nobody understands the concept of socialism, and the fact that any successful democracy is a socialist democracy to some extent.

Besides Rabbi Ben Ezra, this audio includes: "Jame's Lee's Wife", "Abt Vogler", "Apparent Failure", "Prospice".

The Art of Gregorian Music has been selected as a suitable beginning because it deals on broad lines with the principles underlying the restoration of the liturgical chant of the Catholic Church.

In this short course of lessons we initiate you into the mysteries of some practical tests and experiments bearing on occult art magic.

In the present age both Church and Science, the blindly-believing and the all-denying, are arrayed against the Secret Sciences, though Church and Science believed in and practised them - especially the Kabalah - at a not very distant period of history. One says now: “It is of the devil”! the other that the devil is a creation of the Church, and a disgraceful superstition ”in short that there is neither devil nor occult sciences. The first one forgets that it has publicly proclaimed, hardly 400 years ago, the Jewish Kabalah as the greatest witness to the truths of Christianity!

Mark Twain wrote and had opinions about many things, including religion and Biblical matters. This selection of sketches compiled from Europe and Elsewhere is fun and insightful.

In offering this volume to teachers, my chief aim is to provide material for narration which shall deal, not with things temporal but with the “Eternal Verities”. These, if presented to our boys and girls in dramatic form, at the most impressionable period of their lives, will sink deeply into their minds. When presented in more direct and didactic fashion, the same truths often fail to impress. These stories of the Buddha are not for one age or one country, but for all time and for the world.

This new old study of the Logos manifest in the macrocosm is awakening man to a principle of knowledge and a revelation of Providence. It is a priceless treasure, for in its study life becomes a beautiful stream of interpretation and an enjoyment of light. The Logos is and interprets cosmic force; it is life, sensation; it is man’s reason; it is his prescience, intuition and inspiration. The Logos is the archetype, original pattern of all created things. It overshadows all minds. It creates, advances, and evolves man.

We must go on to higher and higher levels, for that is the purpose of the teacher. I would like to look tonight into what it is to my mind, the greatest book in the world, the Bible, and show you a section with which you may not be familiar. It concerns the Seven Eyes of God, from the visions of Zechariah. He saw a stone with seven facets, and the Voice said that this is actually the seven eyes of God that reach over the entire world. For these seven eyes are really in man, for man is the earth of God.

At age 49, Russell Stamets was diagnosed with Latent Autoimmune Diabetes in Adults (LADA). He was told it was irreversible and that he faced a daily shot in the stomach. Unwilling to accept Western medicine's only option, insulin, Russell looked east. He researched, designed a plan, and tested it on himself. Against all odds, he succeeded in lowering his blood sugar levels and reviving his pancreas.

Fortune 500 strategist and best-selling management author Ken Tucker explores the challenging skill sets required to navigate conflict and crucial conversations effectively.

When he died in 1904, most Americans who knew his people's story considered Chief Joseph a military genius and an "Indian Napoleon". This assessment of the Native American leader was based on a 1,500-mile odyssey during which he and his people left their reservation in the hopes of escaping to Canada, where the Nez Percé intended to join Sitting Bull and his Hunkpapa Sioux band. The real Chief Joseph was a gifted speaker and more diplomat than war leader.

From the "Trail of Tears" to Wounded Knee and Little Bighorn, the narrative of American history is incomplete without the inclusion of the Native Americans that lived on the continent before European settlers arrived in the 16th and 17th centuries. Since the first contact between natives and settlers, tribes like the Sioux, Cherokee, and Navajo have both fascinated and perplexed outsiders with their history, language, and culture.

Among the numerous sciences pursued by the well-disciplined army of earnest students of the present century, none has had less honors or more scoffing than the oldest of them—the science of sciences, the venerable mother-parent of all our modern pigmies. Anxious in their petty vanity to throw the veil of oblivion over their undoubted origin, the self-styled positive scientists, ever on the alert, present to the courageous scholar who tries to deviate from the beaten highway traced out for him by his dogmatic predecessors, a formidable range of serious obstacles.

The investigator who seeks to develop exact and careful conception of realities in a realm as temperamental as the occult faces from the beginning unsuspected difficulties. Every defining term as well as every accepted teaching and doctrine is variously interpreted by the different groups of students. Here is a field in which the most sincere teachers are swept into narrow prejudice by the sheer fire of their enthusiasm and so seem universally to emphasize their differences one from the other when they could as well build upon a meeting ground of common understanding.
