In this sublime work, transcendental questions such as the enigma of existence, successive lives and the powers of the soul are addressed. Divided into three parts, the first one studies the problem of being, with an overview of the evolution of thought, and issues such as the soul and the different states of sleep, manifestations after death, the vibratory states of the soul and missions. In the second part, dedicated to the problem of destiny, various aspects that show successive lives are analyzed: scientific and historical evidence, child prodigies ... Finally, the third part elucidates about the powers of the soul: the will, the conscience, the free will, thought and love, pain being a law of balance and education, a means of elevation. Through the luminous pages of this work, the reader will understand that the evolution of being indicates a plan and a purpose. This purpose is perfection, which cannot be realized in a single existence, but through successive lives, a condition for the education and progress of souls. The inspired and deep thought of Léon Denis will lead us to greater knowledge, to a perfect conjunction of reason and faith.
Secular Spirituality challenges the traditional dichotomy between Enlightenment reason and religion. It follows French romantic socialists' and spiritists' search for a new spirituality based on reincarnation as a path to progress for individuals and society. Leaders like Allan Kardec argued for social reform; spiritist groups strove for equality; and women mediums challenged gender roles. Lynn L. Sharp looks closely at what it meant to practice spiritism, analyszing the movement's social and political critique and explaining the popularity of the new belief. She explores points of convergence and conflict in the interplay between spiritism and science, spiritism and psychology, and spiritism and the Catholic church to argue that the nineteenth century was not as 'disenchanted' as has been thought. Secular Spirituality successfully places spiritism within a larger cultural conversation, going beyond the leaders of the movement to look at the way spiritism functioned for its followers.
What happens after death? Is it the end of the road or the start of a different expression of life? Léon Denis answers these questions and many more, using plain and clear language. This book is na exposition on the Doctrine of the Spirits, a scientific and rational solution to the problems of life and death. It addresses the nature of the human being and sheds light on subjects such as the afterlife, spirits, heaven and hell, the invisible worlds, and all facets of the human soul. It discusses the will, judgment, the superior life, the cycles of reincarnation, immortality, God and much more. It is meant for those who are tired of living blind, who may not really know who they are or why they are here; those who are no longer satisfied with today’s materialistic civilization; those who aspire to a higher order of things.
THE memory of Jeanne d'Arc has never aroused such ardent and passionate controversies as have raged for the last few years round this great historical figure. One party, while exalting her memory, tries to monopolize her and to confine her personality within the limits of Catholic doctrine. A second, by means of tactics which are sometimes brutal, as in the case of Thalamas and Henri Bérenger, sometimes clever and learned, as in the case of M. Anatole France, tries to lessen her prestige and to reduce her mission to the proportions of an ordinary historical episode. Where shall we find the truth as to the part played by Jeanne in history? As we read it, it is to be found neither in the myst...

Advanced spectroscopic techniques allow the probing of very small systems and very fast phenomena, conditions that can be considered "extreme" at the present status of our experimentation and knowledge. Quantum dots, nanocrystals and single molecules are examples of the former and events on the femtosecond scale examples of the latter. The purpose of this book is to examine the realm of phenomena of such extreme type and the techniques that permit their investigations. Each author has developed a coherent section of the program starting at a somewhat fundamental level and ultimately reaching the frontier of knowledge in the field in a systematic and didactic fashion. The formal lectures are complemented by additional seminars.
The names of most of President Franklin D. Roosevelt’s cabinet members are well known. Anyone familiar with FDR’s administration will remember Henry Morgenthau, Jr., Cordell Hull, Harold Ickes, Frances Perkins, Henry Wallace, and James Farley. One member of that circle, however, has remained a virtual unknown: Harry H. Woodring, the recalcitrant Secretary of War who was forced by Roosevelt to resign from the cabinet. It is doubtful that the story of any of Roosevelt’s cabinet members is more interesting than that of Woodring. With the breakdown of world peace in the 1930s, the matter of national defense became a major concern, and the United States military establishment became increas...
Under the guidance of the spirit Leon Denis, the spirit author Camilo Castelo Branco, using the pen name Camilo Cândido Botelho, describes to the médium Yvonne A. Pereira, his dreadful experience after having discarnated by committing suicide. The book entails invaluable instruction, demonstrating the greatness of the Divine Mercy toward repentant suicides and providing them with the opportunity to understand the universe and life in its fullest dimension. The beginnings of planet Earth, the evolution of the human being, the immortality of the soul, Christian morality, and other relevant themes are presented for the understanding that “… no attempt at moral growth will work if we remain imprisoned in self-ignorance.” A complete reading of this work shows that there is a road of reconstruction for those who repent. There is always hope because rehabilitation is possible.
