The Eight Pillars of Prosperity

Image
Eight Pillars of Prosperity By James Allen Financial empowerment and prosperity is popularly supposed to rest upon an immoral foundation, e.g. sharp practices, deception and greed. We must understand that the natural world is the mental world made visible. The seen is the mirror of the unseen. The upper half of a circle is in no way different from the lower half but its sphericity is reversed. The material and mental are not two detached arcs in the universe they are the two half of a complete circle. The natural and the spiritual are no at eternal enmity, but in the true order of the universe are eternally one. Publish Post Every process in matter is also a process in mind. Every natural law has its spiritual; counterpart. A seed follows the process of germination, grows into a plant, develops flowers and back to seed again. THIS IS A MENTAL PROCESS. Thoughts are seeds which, falling in the soil of the mind, germinate and develop until they reach complete stage, blossoming into deeds ...

The Path of Immortality

Hoselita Ikoli www.ErrandConcierge.com -------------------- Awakening The Consciousness Of Man -------------------- "Earnestness, said a Great Teacher, is the path of immortality. They who are in earnest do not die; they who are not in earnest are as if dead already." Earnestness is the dedication of the entire mind to its task. . . . Earnest people are dissatisfied with anything short of the highest excellence in whatever they do, and they always reach that excellence. . . . The whole world is always on the lookout to reward the best. It always stands ready to pay the full price, whether in money, fame, friends, influence, happiness, scope, or life, for that which is surpassing excellence. --------------------------------- James Allen, best known for his book As a Man Thinketh, lasted only nine years, but he was able to pen 19 books in that period. Allen died in 1912 and the year before wrote Eight Pillars of Prosperity ---------------------------------

Chariots Of The Gods

Erich von Daniken's "Chariots of the Gods?": Science or Charlatanism? Erich von Daniken's "Chariots of the Gods?": Science or Charlatanism? by Robert Sheaffer (First published in the "NICAP UFO Investigator", October/November, 1974.) (en Espanol aqui) Was God an ancient astronaut? Do centuries-old legends of gods and heroes tell of space travelers who came to earth from distant parts of the Cosmos? Are some of the ruins of antiquity remnants of great airfields, the favored landing sites of extraterrestrial craft? "Yes!," writes Erich Von Daniken in his runaway bestselling book, "Chariots of the Gods?" This phenomenally successful book is now in its forty-fourth printing, with over four million copies currently in print. Von Daniken's sequels to this book, "Gods from Outer Space" and "The Gold of The Gods" are also selling well, as are flocks of imitations. The popularity of such a sensational theory shou...

No Easy Immortality

Book Review No Easy Immortality by J. H Reyner This book is a breakthrough in the understanding of life. Amid the turmoil of events many people have an innate conviction that existence has a purpose beyond the pursuit of material success. This indeed is indicated in both legend and religion but the practical man or woman finds the idea remote and i nterprets it as implying that life is merely a preparation for some future state of enlightenment. The author who is a scientist of repute, challenges this view, maintainig=ng that it is based on an illusion of the senses. There is clear evidence that the body is only a temporary habitation for a spiritual soulwhich continues to exis after death, yet the question remains, " Why is our sojourn on earth necessary at all?". NO EASY IMMORTALITY explains that earthly life is infact a seach for a suitable material to nourish the soul. This 'psychological' material is not available free of charge but has to be paid fo...

Whispers of The Soul

I Am Who I Am The material world is too heavy. I sometimes feel so heavy. I think I can not, go on. Whispers of the Soul The pain is unbearable. Why do we sojourn through this world so decay-able. Whispers of the Soul The emotions , the relationships , seemingly likely natural occurences. Are these by no means not the work of a Greater Thinking mind ? Whispers of the Soul Just as our mind weaves it's own stories ? Stories of love and hurt , joys and woes. I AM! How do I detach my self from time notions I feel stronger everyday that everything JUST IS . My soul wails. Why worry it hissed? Like the wailing of the frenzied seventh sea. Whispers of the Soul You created non of these material things you control, bend, and take from; The oceans and seas, earth and greens, skies and birds, The sun and it's sister the moon. Everything about nature works so perfectly by decay, renewal and regeneration. I am one of natures design, I must be going through the same process; end resul...

The Birth Of A Dream (1)

Just sat in front of the system wondering where to start from, What kind of report I am expected to give on the tour. Well I am following my instinct! Hmm . . . where do I start from? . . . How do I say thank you for all the wonders shown to me by God? As I decided that I shall go no further looking for Him, my business going beautiful but my inner man in shambles because I needed certain questions answered. Nobody understood me. No where to turn to. My heart yearns. Oh how it yearns for understanding, knowledge wisdom. I get glimpses sometimes but I needed to put it in one "whole" picture. ..."but how?" Who, what where is God? How do I become one with God? It was the birth of an idea that if I am a part of God then I must be a mini god. After that, it was a whole new experience of correlating my souls yearning to the teachings. A whole new world. A new fantastic point of view. No one to tell me no, where to stop , or say that I am only dreaming. A place where dream...
