The dream is the projection of the mind. Everything of the dream enjoys the same degree of reality. Yet some person, thing or transaction of the dream has the special power to wake us up. The seventh chapter of the Chandogya-upanishad, which is a dialogue between the great Sage Sanatkumara and his younger brother, turned disciple, the famous Narada, makes us realise that all knowledge is the play of words alone – nama eva etat. Yet the words of the text have the unique power not only to prepare us but finally awaken us to our true nature, which is Infinite Bliss – Bhumaiva Sukham. Swamini Vimalananda has added relevant notes to make the subject easier to grasp.
Winsome stories and thoughtful reflections illustrate how even traditional disciplines such as churchgoing and tithing can be fulfilling when done out of gratitude for God's gifts. Original.
Though he made his fortune pioneering practical uses for electricity, Frederick Lawson was also an active and vocal adherent of New Thought philosophies, early "New Age" thinking that promoted the belief in "mind over matter" and in the concept that godly powers could be found within us all. This classic book-first published in 1912 and the textbook of the organization Lawson founded, the Society for Spreading the Knowledge of True Prayer-explores the new realms of human experience New Thought thinking was uncovering, including: . Unaccounted-for human capacity and animal wonders . Hell as an individual state of human consciousness . New truths "hateful to the sluggard" . Proof of our knowledge of Heaven . Constant conscious communion with God . The value of prophecy . Instantaneous healing . The collective force of foolish beliefs . And much, much more. British engineer, businessman, and author FREDERICK LAWRENCE RAWSON (1859-1923) also wrote How to Bring About Permanent Peace (1916), Secret of Divine Protection (1918) and Nature of True Prayer (1920).
Through a true communion with God, argues the author, it is possible to treat any and all problems-from loneliness to envy to gray hair and even bad investments. But the prayer that Rawson speaks of is based not upon supplication to an omnipotent being who may or may not be listening, but on a simple process of denial and affirmation. Using an exhaustive list of examples, Rawson shows how to first deny the problem, then affirm what he calls "the absolute good." It is only by dwelling on "God's perfect world" that one can find true healing. This is essential reading to the faithful, and a work of genuine curiosity to everyone else.

St Alphonsus Liguori's Attaining Salvation is a timeless, priceless compass for that journey. Written when the great Doctor of the Church was 77 years old, this treasury of reflections shines with the mature learning of a brilliant mind and a life filled with the study and service of God. With 45 short chapters filled with provocative Scripture quotes, this book is at once challenging a...
The envisioned volume is a collection of recent essays about the philosophical exploration, critique and comparison of (a) the major philosophical models of God, gods and other ultimate realities implicit in the world’s philosophical schools and religions, and of (b) the ideas of such models and doing such modeling per se. The aim is to identify exactly what a model of ultimate reality is; create a comprehensive and accessible collection of extant models; and determine how best, philosophically, to model ultimate reality, if possible and desirable.

Excerpt from The City of God: A Series of Discussions in Religion "It is a work that requires our choicest thoughts, the exactest discussion that can be, a thing very material and desirable, to give unto reason the things that are reason's, and unto faith the things that are faith's; to give faith her full scope and latitude, and to give reason also her just bounds and limits; this is the first-born, but the other has the blessing" - Nathanael Culverwel: "Light of Nature," p. 1 (ed. 1652). "It was the speech of a good husbandman, 'It is but a folly to possess a piece of ground, except you till it.' And how then can it stand with reason, that a man should be possessed of so goodly a piece of ...
