The Journey Of The Soul
by Winafred Blake Lucas, Ph.D.
It is our intuition that leads us to realize that we are on a journey of the soul back to our Source and that what occurs in each lifetime is appropriate for the stage of that individual’s journey.
Pecci states the underlying assumption:
“There is a primordial Essence characterized by unconditional love, joy, serenity, and wisdom, from which we have become separated and to which we can return by moving out into the vaster realities of awareness.”
Journeying toward this universal flow of energy is the meaning of spirituality and the purpose of our stream of lifetimes. It embraces a consciousness essentially unlimited, that is continuous, has no boundaries, knows everything, and forms our essential core. (more…)

Past Life Therapy
by Irene Louis
I had been working as a hypnotherapist for two or three years when one client, whom I had been helping to regress back to the source of her problem, went spontaneously into a past life where she was drowning in a millrace, followed in quick succession by two more deaths by drowning and suffocation. You can imagine how I felt, sitting there on the edge of my seat, and praying that she was not going to die right here in this life. I fell back on my training that: 1. no one is ever sent more than she can cope with, and 2. never interrupt an emotional process, my own included at that point. I do not know who was more relieved when she had finished reliving (or perhaps redying is a better word) that episode but the outcome was such that she took a big step forward in her awareness and felt immediately lighter. The big stick, fear in case it happened again, and the carrot of curiosity impelled me to find out more, which ultimately entailed studying with Dr. Roger Woolger, an expert in the field of past life therapy (I seemed to have a fortunate knack for finding the best teachers.)

The Importance of Emotional Maturity
by John A. Schindler, M.D.
YOU CAN ACHIEVE EMOTIONAL STASIS
There Has Always Been E. I. I. (Emotionally Induced Illness). There is probably no more emotionally induced illness today, nor any greater amount of emotional stress, than there was in days gone by. The world has always been full of it. People in bygone days didn’t meet the ups-and-downs of living with any less emotional stress than people do today. And although we of the mid-20th Century have such stresses today as the world political situation, practically every age had its world situations and its wars, in some ages much more constantly than we have had. Although we have the stress of an excessive amount of publicity on diseases of all varieties, past ages had the greater stress of smallpox, tuberculosis, diphtheria, plague, typhoid, dysentery, osteomyelitis, and many other miserable conditions which today are rare indeed.

The River Of Life
by Jiddu Krishnamurti
I don’t know if on your walks you have noticed a long, narrow pool beside the river. Some fishermen must have dug it, and it is not connected with the river. The river is flowing steadily, deep and wide, but this pool is heavy with scum because it is not connected with the life of the river, and there are no fish in it. It is a stagnant pool, and the deep river, full of life and vitality, flows swiftly along.
Now, don’t you think human beings are like that? They dig a little pool for themselves away from the swift current of life, and in that little pool they stagnate, die; and this stagnation, this decay we call existence. That is, we all want a state of permanency; we want certain desires to last forever, we want pleasures to have no end. We dig a little hole and barricade ourselves in it with our families, with our ambitions, our cultures, our fears, our gods, our various forms of worship, and there we die, letting life go by – that life which is impermanent, constantly changing, which is so swift, which has such enormous depths, such extraordinary vitality and beauty.

Q & A On The Principles Of Mystic Wisdom
as given by Masters of Mystic Wisdom (compilation by Vernon Howard)
1. Q: May I come right to the point? What are mystical studies all about? Are they practical? What will they do for us?
A: If you devote your time to study, you will avoid all the irksome things of life, and you will not long for the approach of night, being tired of the day, and you will not be a burden to yourself, and your company will be acceptable to others. (Seneca)
2. Q: But do these lofty mystical principles help us in daily matters, such as the solving of problems and in the making of necessary decisions? Heavenly ideas have their place, but we need down-to-earth assistance.
A: The contemplation of celestial things will make a man both speak and think more sublimely and magnificently when he descends to human affairs. (Cicero) (more…)

Lessons On The Law Of Cause And Effect: Karma
by Dr. & Mrs. F. Homer Curtiss
KARMA is the implacable Law of Cause and Effect, bringing to you in exact justice the net results of your past thoughts, desires and acts, but it does not do so in detail and hence is not the Nemesis it is so frequently represented to be.
“For the only decree of Karma – an eternal and immutable decree – is absolute Harmony in the world of Matter as it is in the world of Spirit.”
It is not your acts that are the cause of your Karma, but the possession or lack of certain Soul-quaIities which is the cause of your thoughts, desires and acts, whose effects are brought to you by the great Law of Harmony for readjustment. (more…)

The Medicine Delusion
by Robert Collier
I find the medicine worse than the malady.” ~ SHAKESPEARE
We are getting rid of the drug illusion,” declared Dr. Woods Hutchinson, the noted medical writer of America, at a luncheon given on June 6, 1925, by the English-Speaking Union to 700 American and Canadian doctors assembled in London, England.
“We are willing even to subscribe to the dictum of Oliver Wendell Holmes,” the doctor added, “that if 99% of all drugs we possess were thrown into the sea it would be a good thing for the human race, but rather hard on the fishes.”
Sir Arbuthnot Lane, Surgeon to King George, seconded Dr. Hutchinson’s remarks. “They might say,” he went on, “that he was trying to establish a ‘suicide club’ for doctors. It practically came to that, because as the public became educated in matters of health the medical profession might disappear. It was in fact an anomaly that a medical profession should exist. If people were healthy, there was no reason to have doctors at all.” (more…)

Ten Precepts Which Ancient Wisdom Advocates
by Manly P. Hall
Great as is the number of present-day religious movements, both heterodox and orthodox, few of them inspire their followers to serve their fellow men along practical and intelligent lines. One by one the various cults are being involved in materialism and commercialism, among which by necessity they have been established. This is not to be wondered at, for it is difficult to separate our religion from our daily lives. We may call it by many different names, but it still reflects the thoughts and moral character of those who form its organization.
Modern attitudes on life are not healthy, and organizations built up by unhealthy people cannot be normal. Commercialism has attacked every plane of society. It has entered into all the walks of life. Our race is money mad. It is insane on the subject of personal gain. It will give nothing to serve others, but will give everything to gain the knowledge which will make it possible for the mediocre to become a commercial power overnight. The struggle inseparable from the ethics of competition is largely responsible for this condition. Graft has appeared in almost every walk of life. Nearly every existing institution is overrun by some mild form of moral dishonesty, and if every walk of life is commercialized and perverted, we cannot expect religion to escape. (more…)

Fifteen Ways To Raise Your Consciousness
Compilation by Tish Brown
Introduction
There is an immediate necessity to fundamentally overhaul the current frameworks in psychology, psychiatry, medicine, and science. Our present comprehension of reality, the universe, and, most importantly, human beings is superficial, incorrect, and incomplete.
Our existing view of reality fails to accommodate the interdimensional experience such as life after death, life between lives, the paranormal, UFOs, reincarnation, and astral travel. This narrow paradigm creates illusionary boundaries which inhibits the understanding of the interconnectedness of all people, places, and things reflecting the holographic nature of reality. This holographic matrix is rooted in the electromagnetic essence of energy which forms the universal plasma of life; the very essence of life. This understanding serves as a crucial connection to a higher level of consciousness, forming the foundation for an interdimensional Science of Life. (more…)

The Noble Eightfold Path
by Charles W. Leadbeater
The Way which leads to the Escape from Sorrow. This is given to us in what is called the Noble Eightfold Path – another of the Lord Buddha’s wonderful tabulations or categories. It is a very beautiful statement, because it can be taken at all levels. The man in the world, even the uneducated man, can take it in its lowest aspects and find a way to peace and comfort through it. And yet the highest philosopher may also take it and interpret it at his level and learn very much from it.
The first step in this Path is Right Belief. Some people object to that qualification, because they say that it demands from them something in the nature of blind faith. It is not at all that sort of belief which is required; it is rather a demand for a certain amount of knowledge as to the ruling factors in life. It demands that we shall understand a little of the Divine Scheme as far as it applies to us, and if we cannot yet see that for ourselves, that we should accept it as it is always put before us. Certain broad facts are always put before men in some form or other. They are explained even to savage tribes by their medicine-men, and to the rest of mankind by various religious teachers and in all kinds of scriptures. It is very true that scriptures and religions differ, but the points in which they all agree have to be accepted by a man before he can understand life sufficiently to live happily. (more…)

Temple Lectures
[This letter to students from Uriel (Ioshanna at the time) was received by a student who has since made her transition. She gave me a number of files that contain some of these letters prior to her passing which I hope to post in future articles. Attached at the bottom is a pdf scan of the original. Estimated date of this letter is about 1970 or 1971. Enjoy! – Editor]
Dear Unariun Friend – Our greetings to you!
As always, in our contacts with you, the student, we extend to you our wishes for your continued and sincere interest in your personal development, study, and progress. (more…)

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…)

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.

How Past Life Exploration Can Heal Your Life ~ Part III
by Denise Linn
Music
A song or musical score has the ability to transport us back to the time when we first heard it. A forgotten memory can be conjured simply by listening to a piece that was being played during the event. Just as the music can help us evoke memories from this life, it can also spur remembrances of past lives.
Matt used to always hum the fiddle song “Turkey in the Straw” to himself. He never knew where he’d heard it, where it was from, or why he even liked it until he was at a gold-rush museum and realized that the same song was playing in the background. As he listened, he had spontaneous – and emotional – memories of panning for gold during the California gold rush in the mid-1800s. (more…)

Achieving Peace Within
by Ralph Waldo Trine
This is the Spirit of Infinite Peace, and the moment we come into harmony with it there comes to us an inflowing tide of peace, for peace is harmony. A deep interior meaning underlies the great truth, “To be spiritually minded is life and peace.” To recognize the fact that we are spirit, and to live in this thought, is to be spiritually minded, and so to be in harmony and peace. Oh, the thousands of men and women all about us weary with care, troubled and ill at ease, running hither and thither to find peace, weary in body, soul, and mind; going to other countries, traveling the world over, coming back, and still not finding it. Of course they have not found it and they never will find it in this way, because they are looking for it where it is not. They are looking for it without when they should look within. Peace is to be found only within, and unless one find it there he will never find it at all.
Peace lies not in the external world. It lies within one’s own soul. We may travel over many different avenues in pursuit of it, we may seek it through the channels of the bodily appetites and passions, we may seek it through all the channels of the external, we may chase for it hither and thither, but it will always be just beyond our grasp, because we are searching for it where it is not. In the degree, however, that we order the bodily appetites and passions in accordance with the promptings of the soul within will the higher forms of happiness and peace enter our lives; but in the degree that we fail in doing this will disease, suffering, and discontent enter in.
