Super Minds : People With Amazing Mind Power By Tony Crisp

Direct Download OR Buy

Super Minds is a series of true life stories of weird and wonderful minds. Like the man who could remember EVERYTHING that ever happened to him, or the extraordinary abilities of the boy brought up by WOLVES. Or the girl who could read her friends’ MINDS and the man who could suddenly speak foreign languages NEVER having learnt them! But that’s not all!

YOU have an amazing mind too, and this book shows you how to make the most of its hidden powers!

Straightforward accounts reveal strange mental abilities exhibited by famous and little-known people in the 19th and 20th centuries. Short chapters cover topics such as Eileen Garrett's telepathic powers, Padre Pio's healing and bilocation phenomena, Helen Keller's extraordinarily perceptive talents, Solomon Shereshevskii's complete memory recall, and George Washington Carver's reliance on prayer and love for direction in his discoveries.

Near-death experiences and the characteristics of several feral children are also described. At the end of some chapters, readers are encouraged to try activities, such as pretending to be an animal, covering their eyes for a day to experience blindness like Helen Keller's, trying memory-enhancing exercises, or practicing yoga-style breathing.

A brief list of acknowledgments identifies some sources for the information presented, but most of the text is not documented. The sketches scattered throughout are merely decorative. Altogether, this is an odd mixture of strange, not clearly substantiated descriptions of events and New-Age style spiritual activities. It can be used for entertainment, but not for research.

The Mysterious Matter of Mind By Arthur C. Custance

Direct Download

One's view of the origin and nature of mind is of crucial importance, both for an assessment of human worth and in the formation of a truly healthy philosophy of life.

Carefully examining historical outlooks on mind and brain, the author reviews various explanations which have been offered for the ascendancy of the mechanistic approach.

He then presents the experimental findings of recent research which have led some of the most renowned scientists in the field to conclude that mind is more than matter and more than a mere by-product of the brain.

Such a conclusion provides a basis for rejecting the view that man is "nothing but" a machine, without in any way minimizing how remarkable this machine is.

Hidden Things of God Revelation By Arthur C. Custance

Direct Download

This miscellany of six biblical studies give insight into the ways of God with mankind as seem in revelation and in history.

Even the most unpromising passages (like genealogies) prove to be a rich source of blessing and spiritual truth. Attention to grammar and syntax in the Hebrew language supply new meaning to the first chapter of Genesis.

Questions about the reliability of the early portion of Scripture, about contradictions within Scripture, of what is prophecy or merely prediction, of why God intervenes dramatically at times but is silent at other times ‹ challenge both the heart and mind.

Answers suggested here are refreshing and thought-provoking. Scripture thus bears everywhere the hallmarks of true inspiration: its words are for children, its thoughts are for men. No other such book as this was ever written.

Journey Out of Time By Arthur C. Custance

Direct Download

A study of the interval between the death and the resurrection of the body.

For the Christian this journey through death ends in the "hope of glory", of being received into His presence forever. But exactly when does this happen? The Lord promised the penitent thief it would be that "very day" — immediately; but He told the disciples it would be at His Second Coming — after a delay.

How can these two promises be reconciled? This study shows that both promises are true! It depends upon an understanding of the nature of time and how it differs from eternity, and also upon the nature of man and his constitution. With these concepts clearly in mind, the nature of the interval is discussed, and then a resolution is proposed that is truly exciting.

The Cosmic Energizer : Miracle Power of the Universe By Dr. Joseph Murphy

Direct Download OR Buy

Here we have an another wonderful book by Dr. Joseph Murphy which also serves as a magnificent "sequel" to his best-seller, "The Power of Your Subconscious Mind".

Dr. Murphy explains to a reader how he or she can employ the cosmic energizer and accomplish all those goals which one desires to achieve. His style, as always, is down-to-earth, very inspiring and uplifting to read.

This book is probably another gem that everyone should have in their libraries, and it also back-ups some of the concepts explained in "Your Infinite Power to Be Rich". As usual, Dr. Murphy does repeat himself in different chapters, but it actually supports the theme of this book, and makes sure that a reader has understood everything.

 Also, this book makes great reading before you retire at night. Pick up randomly a chapter, and read it. After each chapter there is a useful "Main points in review" chart that makes it very easy to memorize the most important main things. I would suggest this book to everyone who is ready to progress on spirituality.

Complete Idiot's Guide to Yoga with Kids By Eve Adamson

Direct Download OR Buy

Do you remember what it was like to spend whole days just playing? If you are a child, play is probably a big part of your life. If you are a parent, you may remember when your backyard or bedroom or the long dark hallway into the den were so much more than rooms in your house—jungles, forests, forts, palaces, vast oceans, tunnels through the center of the earth.

For children, every day is an adventure because the imagination and creativity in a child is so present, accessible, and vivid. Likewise, yoga—that most ancient and most modern of physical and spiritual practices—takes on an added lightness, joy, and carefree spirit when practiced by children.

Yoga allows a child’s natural creativity and imagination to flourish, aided by lots of “pretend” games, nature and animal poses, active movement, dress-up with props, and even deep relaxation. Yoga provides dramatic physical, emotional, mental, developmental, and spiritual benefits to all kids, from infants to teenagers, from the physically challenged to those challenged by learning disorders or developmental delays.

And yoga with kids can become an enlightening experience for grownups, too. Yoga can create a space for family in a way that benefits everyone, builds relationships, and forms lasting bonds and enduring memories. A treasure-trove awaits you, whether you are a child or a parent, and your family within the pages of this book. To discover it, all you need to do is keep reading.

The world-famous violinist Sir Yehudi Menuhin said about yoga that it is “a technique ideally suited to prevent physical and mental illness and to protect the body generally, developing an inevitable sense of self-reliance and assurance.” Yoga did not make him a musical genius, but has given him energy, balance, and a sense of wellbeing for the past four decades, allowing him full expression of his great talent.

Yoga can do the same for anyone. Old or young. Male or female. Busy or super busy. In fact, yoga in one form or another is practiced by several million people today. It has been part of the kaleidoscope of our Western culture for over a century now and has proven incredibly effective in the maintenance of a sound body and mind and even the restoration of one’s health. This is why several progressive insurance companies are now including yoga in their alternative therapies coverage.

Yoga is a tradition that looks back upon at least 5,000 years of experience and experimentation. Although it was created in India in a different cultural environment, the basic insights and laws on which it is based are valid anywhere in the world. Of course, there is much more to yoga than its potency as a system of health care. But this is for you to discover.

In this book, you will be gently but persuasively guided into the beginnings of yoga practice. The authors serve as knowledgeable and cheerful friends, motivating you all the way. Within these pages you will find no lack of encouragement, and everything is explained step by step. So, please, take the leap into what you will discover to be a rewarding and healing experience.

The Complete Idiot's Guide to Tantric Sex By Dr. Judy Kuriansky

Direct Download OR Buy

It’s exciting for me to see the tantric perspective coming more and more into mainstream thought. People may be drawn to tantric practices hoping to enhance their sexual satisfaction. It does an amazing job of improving what you already know and enjoy, but it also takes sexuality to another dimension entirely, an experience way beyond “normal.”

Tantra is much more than a sexual teaching. Tantric practice can transform every aspect of your life, helping you to expand your physical health and vitality, emotional healing and expression, psychic sensitivity, satisfying relationships, creativity, productivity, and abundance. It is not unusual for someone to tell me after a few months of tantric involvement that he or she feels like a different person, much less stressed, much more comfortable, more joyful.

Dr. Judy is uniquely qualified to be a major tantric communicator, to be the means through which this message goes forward to a broad population. Through her studies and research, her writings, her years on radio and in the media, she knows her subject and knows how to capture people’s interest. She speaks directly of sexual matters, but also appreciates the deeper potential of tantra.

In this book Dr. Judy has presented a broad overview as well as specific things you can do to begin your personal exploration. Tantra is really a spiritual path, leading to selfdiscovery, to realizing you are much more magnificent than you ever guessed. If you have the courage to try something new, this book will guide you through your first steps, get you started on a great adventure.

Gypsy Sorcery and Fortune Telling By Charles Godfrey Leland

Direct Download OR Buy

This work contains a collection of the customs, usages, and ceremonies current among gypsies, as regards fortune-telling, witch-doctoring, love-philtering, and other sorcery, illustrated by many anecdotes and instances, taken either from works as yet very little known to the English reader or from personal experiences.

Within a very few years, since Ethnology and Archæology have received a great inspiration, and much enlarged their scope through Folk-lore, everything relating to such subjects is studied with far greater interest and to much greater profit than was the case when they were cultivated in a languid, half believing, half sceptical spirit which was in reality rather one of mere romance than reason.

Now that we seek with resolution to find the whole truth, be it based on materialism, spiritualism, or their identity, we are amazed to find that the realm of marvel and mystery, of wonder and poetry, connected with what we vaguely call "magic," far from being explained away or exploded, enlarges before us as we proceed, and that not into a mere cloudland, gorgeous land, but into a country of reality in which men of science who would once have disdained the mere thought thereof are beginning to stray.
