Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Secret of Progress Buckle1 regarded it as clear that militarism and high intellectual development were not compatible: till recently, many people were prepared to believe that warfare was alien to the interest of civilised peoples and could only occur among half civilised or backward races. But this war has shown that these hopes were vain, and that the last result of civilisation was not to render war impossible, but to give the means of carrying it out on a vastly extended scale. The increase of knowledge and of power over nature, and the sense of the benefits of intercourse and inter-communication have not sufficed to give us any immunity from war.

Book excerpt: In The God of Jane, the most personal of her books, Jane Roberts addresses many of the same questions and doubts that readers have had in trying to incorporate Seth's theories into their own lives. This book is the story of my efforts to put Seth's material to work in daily life, Roberts writes, to free myself from many hampering cultural beliefs; and most of all, to encounter and understand the nature of impulses . . .What Roberts discovers in the process of this personal journey is her individual connection to the larger consciousness-God. The God of Jane, the God of Joe, the God of Lester, the God of Sarah . . . she writes, An appeal to that God would be an appeal to the portion of the universal creativity from which we personally emerge . . . It would stand for the otherwise inconceivable intersection between Being and our being . . . A new introduction by Susan M. Watkins, author of Conversations with Seth and Speaking of Jane Roberts, provides important biographical and historical information about Roberts and about the time period in which she was producing the Seth material.Jane Roberts (1929-1984) is considered one of the most important psychics of the twentieth century.

In addition to thirteen published books of her own, Roberts channeled nine books by Seth and a wealth of additional unpublished material all of which is housed at the Yale University Archives. Roberts's work has inspired many of the most important figures in the New Age movement and her work has been studied byscientists from all over the world.

Download or read book God the Substance of All Form written by Joel S. Goldsmith and published by Martino Fine Books. This book was released on 2010-12 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 2010 Reprint of 1962 edition. In this work Goldsmith develops the theme that God is the substance and essence of all forms, whether that form appears as man, animal, vegetable or mineral. Spirit underlies all effects, and the recognition of this truth shifts the emphasis from dependence on persons or things to a complete dependence on spirit. Because God is individual consciousness, your consciousness is infinite, and as you become more aware of the infinite nature of your consciousness, that consciousness begins to appear in infinite forms of good. Then you understand the great truth that nothing can be added to you, and nothing can be taken from you: you are eternally complete and whole because embodied within you is the substance of all life.

Download or read book The Origin of Consciousness in the Breakdown of the Bicameral Mind written by Julian Jaynes and published by Houghton Mifflin Harcourt. This book was released on 2000-08-15 with total page 580 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: National Book Award Finalist: “This man’s ideas may be the most influential, not to say controversial, of the second half of the twentieth century.”—Columbus Dispatch At the heart of this classic, seminal book is Julian Jaynes's still-controversial thesis that human consciousness did not begin far back in animal evolution but instead is a learned process that came about only three thousand years ago and is still developing. The implications of this revolutionary scientific paradigm extend into virtually every aspect of our psychology, our history and culture, our religion—and indeed our future. “Don’t be put off by the academic title of Julian Jaynes’s The Origin of Consciousness in the Breakdown of the Bicameral Mind. Its prose is always lucid and often lyrical…he unfolds his case with the utmost intellectual rigor.”—The New York Times “When Julian Jaynes . . . speculates that until late in the twentieth millennium BC men had no consciousness but were automatically obeying the voices of the gods, we are astounded but compelled to follow this remarkable thesis.”—John Updike, The New Yorker “He is as startling as Freud was in The Interpretation of Dreams, and Jaynes is equally as adept at forcing a new view of known human behavior.”—American Journal of Psychiatry

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Walt Disney's classic animated movie Pinocchio, Jiminy Cricket sings, "Always let your conscience be your guide."

It has been twisted by sin and may tell us that right is wrong and wrong is right. So, when can we trust our conscience? In this booklet, Dr. R.C. Sproul explains that we must calibrate our conscience according to the Bible. With practical application, he shows how studying Scripture helps us, by God's grace, to build a mature Christian conscience. The Crucial Questions booklet series by Dr. R.C. Sproul offers succinct answers to important questions often asked by Christians and thoughtful inquirers.
