Few people think of life as a creative experiment. Most of us are so busy with routines that we take life for granted. We expect an endless routine of work, a hectic social life each weekend, and two weeks' vacation each year. I trust that the listeners of this book will derive from it a new interest in life, a zest for doing what needs to be done, and a technique to live with joyous enthusiasm.

Follow him through Chickasaw Territory and on to McAlester in Eastern Oklahoma.

In the sixth century BC, Pherekydes of Syros, the reputed teacher of Pythagoras and contemporary of Thales and Anaximander (born 610 BC), wrote a book about the birth of the gods and the origin of the cosmos. Considered one of the first prose works of Greek literature, Pherekydes' book survives only in fragments, while the teachings of Pythagoras permeate all scientific and spiritual boundaries.

This volume is one of the first that presented the words of wisdom spoken by the influential Indian Hindu monk Swami Vivekananda within the intimacy of his inner circle. He was already revered as a lecturer, but his flashes of pure brilliance were more often only heard in familiar conversation.

You are successful in all things. You attract all that you need in surplus. Abundance surrounds you, and you know that you will always have plenty.

The Soul System of Tarot is a no-nonsense book aimed at those looking to take life by the horns and make some serious progress in their spiritual life. This text will jumpstart the listener's spiritual quest, as well as their understanding of the hermetic arts (no matter where they find themselves in life currently). Given societal uncertainty, the wisdom of the hermetic arts have never been more needed in the world.

This is the message of Shri Ramakrishna to the modern world: “Do not care for doctrines, do not care for dogmas, or sects, or churches, or temples; they count for little compared with the essence of existence in each man which is spirituality; and the more this is developed in a man, the more powerful is he for good. Earn that first, acquire that, and criticize no one, for all doctrines and creeds have some good in them. Show by your lives that religion does not mean words, or names, or sects, but that it means spiritual realization."

A young Chatti by the name of Adalwulf rides his stolen horse to the lands of the Marcomanni, hoping to find a ring-giver and a new life. What he finds instead is a mysterious priestess looking for him, his innate ability to fight like a demi-god, and plenty of trouble. In the era of Augustus, the borders of River Rhenus are waiting for a change. While the Marcomanni have an uneasy peace with Rome, Rome is turning its eye to the north. The feuds of two Goth lords, Bero and Hulderic, thrust Adalwulf in a desperate quest that will determine his future.

T. Lobsang Rampa, mystic, sage, and student of the astral, offers another of his profound dissertations on the psychic world. Here he foretells the disasters and happenings of the future - the events to come that will purify and evolve a new cycle of life on Earth.

Sri Ramakrishna is one of the most thoroughly studied saints in the last 150 years. He is by any measure one of the most extraordinary mystics to have emerged from India. Ramakrishna has impacted the lives of millions around the world and he continues to intrigue and puzzle spiritual seekers and scholars alike. After reading many of Sri Ramakrishna’s wonderful sayings, filled with such rich and earthly analogies, I thought it would be instructive to choose 88 of his insights and put them in a short, introductory book.

Hraban is riding for Rome. Having lost Drusus to the schemes of a highborn noble in Rome, Hraban and his friends follow Tiberius, and join the Germani Corporis Custodes, the illustrious Germani guard of Augustus. Their mission is not only to guard the lives of the family of the Princeps, but also to uncover who is trying to kill the sons and grandchildren of Livia, wife of Augustus. Drusus is already dead. Will Tiberius be next? Is Julia, the daughter of Augustus to blame, as everyone believes?

The soul must be eternal. Why? In the first place we see that the soul is not matter. It is neither a gross body, nor a fine body, which we call mind or thought. It is neither a physical body, nor what in Christianity is called a spiritual body. It is the gross body and the spiritual body that are liable to change. The gross body is liable to change almost every minute and dies, but the spiritual body endures through long periods, until one becomes free, when it also falls away.

Only that which has no right to live must die, and only that which has no right to exist must be brought to an end. And that hasn't a thing to do with any child born of woman, or any flower that ever bloomed. It's something entirely different from what the world would suspect, for you and I have been given the greatest gift in the world.

One of the best nonfictional explanations of the Buddha's life and teaching is found in Henry Olcott's Buddhist Catechism in a question and answer format. Followed by Herman Hesse's profound and popular Siddhartha in which the life of the Buddha is mirrored by a contemporary seeker during the time of the Buddha. Together, the listener will come a way with a clear and inspiring account of the heart of the Buddha and Buddhism as well as some of its basic history and principles.

In all the revelations that await you, there's none so fundamental and so filled with ecstasy as when you discover that the Bible is all about you. What joy will be yours, when the word of God as recorded in the books of Genesis to Revelation is revealed, and you - an individual - become the living Word and the interpreter of the Bible.

As the human form, generally, corresponds to the human will, generally, so the individual bodily structure corresponds to the character, desires, will, and thought of the individual. Therefore the outer nature is nothing but the expression of the inner nature. This inner nature of each individual is what re-incarnates or expresses itself successively in various forms, one after another. When a man dies the individual ego or Jîva (as it is called in Sanskrit), which means the germ of life or the living soul of man, is not destroyed, but it continues to exist in an invisible form.

Reynold A. Nicholson has done us all in the English speaking world a wonderful service by translating from the original Persian much of Rumi's writings. The following excerpted poems provide a glimpse into the heart and mind of the one world's greatest mystic poets. It is my hope that a new cadre of listeners will be moved and touched by Rumi's poems, which each have a universal import that transcends both religion and cultural boundaries.

The research and writing of Think and Grow Rich lasted over 20 years. Ultimately Dr. Napoleon Hill sold over 30 million copies. As for his personal influences, he did write a letter to Charles F. Haanel to say that Haanel's Master Key System had much inspired him and changed his life. Throughout his life, he spent a great deal of time teaching and helping others to learn the laws of success.

It's 1958 in rural Connecticut, and three boys between 10 and 11 years old - Tommy (from a stable, "normal" family), Jose (Hispanic, Catholic), and Jimmy (underfed child of a poor single alcoholic mother, has a severely retarded sister) - have been pals since first grade. But it's September, and the safe, cozy innocence of elementary school is behind them. Now they must enter the scary, new world of junior high school.
