I knew Russia from her Western confines right to the Pacific and the Pamir, and I think I understand the psychology of the peoples of that vast, mysterious land, where modern civilization of the West and the ideology of Mongolian nomads, the asceticism of orthodox Christianity and heathenism exist together in weird confusion to this very day.
The Russian intelligentsia, spiritualized and rising to the loftiest idealism, has long ago cut adrift from the people; it could not understand the great mass and contemptuously disdained to notice its qualities, hostile and dangerous to mankind, which nevertheless remained.
To those who have carefully studied the evidence there is, however, little doubt that telepathy does afford an adequate explanation of certain well-attested phenomena, such as phantasms of the living or dying person. And telepathy, which may now be considered as highly probable, leads on to the evidence for man's survival after death-to this I will return later on.
The Ultimate Human Experience The interaction between mankind and spiritual beings - of Divine Encounters -- as recorded in scriptures and ancient texts provides a powerful drama that spans Heaven and Earth, involving worship and devotion, eternity and mortality, love and sex, jealousy and murder. But how much of these are based on real happenings and how much is based on myth?
It shows how the Texts of Scripture are to be understood which treat of Fallen lost Adam, and of the New Birth from Christ: BEING A short Declaration and Introduction concerning the highest Ground, showing how Man may attain Divine Skill and Knowledge.
A solution to that part of the Social Question which pertains to Love, Marriage, and Sexual Intercourse. A Freethinker delves into subject matter frowned on by the 'church'.
The Gilgamesh Epic is the most notable literary product of Babylonia as yet discovered in the mounds of Mesopotamia. It recounts the exploits and adventures of a favorite hero, and in its final form covers twelve tablets, each tablet consisting of six columns (three on the obverse and three on the reverse) of about 50 lines for each column, or a total of about 3600 lines.
How much of the Old Testament has it original sources from Mesopotamian legends and mythology? The author explores and reveals such connections.
If you read the title-page of this book-a thing which young persons very seldom do-you will see that it (the book) contains stories taken "out of some of the less-known apocryphal books of the Old Testament."
The object of the editors of this series is a very definite one. They desire above all things that, in their humble way, these books shall be the ambassadors of good-will and understanding between East and West, the old world of Thought, and the new of Action. In this endeavour, and in their own sphere, they are but followers of the highest example in the land. They are confident that a deeper knowledge of the great ideals and lofty philosophy of Oriental thought may help to a revival of that true spirit of Charity which neither despises nor fears the nations of another creed and colour. Finally, in thanking press and public for the very cordial reception given to the "Wisdom of the East" series, they wish to state that no pains have been spared to secure the best specialists for the treatment of the various subjects at hand. Large print 15 point font.
What gives you the right to think you are so unlucky? Does it have anything at all to do with the fact that the cards never come up the right suit; that the dice always fall where they may (which is not how you placed your bet); or that the beer guzzling, chain smoker down the hall has won the Pick Six three weeks in a row?
Timothy Green Beckley keeps the revelations of Tuella alive and in print. Many of Tuella's channelings are becoming even more relevant to this chaotic world today, than when she delivered these messages to the world.
The study of words, languages, etymologies reveal more about our past, our history, our origins than most people know. Each word is a mystery in itself. According to Jewish traditions the world was spoken into existence by a word. Words can make or break even famous people.
I was asked to write a book on a subject many find quite distressing: The Reptiles. Here it is together with much more to celebrate the times we are now moving into.
Ophiolatreia, the worship of the serpent, next to the adoration of the phallus, is one of the most remarkable, and, at first sight, unaccountable forms of religion the world has ever known. Until the true source from whence it sprang can be reached and understood, its nature will remain as mysterious as its universality, for what man could see in an object so repulsive and forbidding in its habits as this reptile, to render worship to, is one of the most difficult of problems to find a solution to.
Did Nostradamus predict the coming of a World War 3? The author studies the quatrains to find out. With the world in constant political turbulence, is it possible that a great war was predicted by this famous seer and healer?
