How to Use the Science of Mind: Principle in Practice


Ernest Shurtleff Holmes - 1984
    God is not far away, but is within ourselves, other people, and everywhere present. Why then, do we fall prey to unwanted conditions - illness, financial lack, relationship difficulties, loneliness and problems of every kind? Written as a manual for the practical applications of the principles set forth in The Science of Mind, this book takes the original philosophy of "change your thinking, change your life," and explains a clear and definite scientific method of prayer that can help you overcome life's obstacles.

Cosmos and Transcendence: Breaking Through the Barrier of Scientistic Belief


Wolfgang Smith - 1984
    And this 'opening' enables him to recover and reaffirm the deep metaphysical insights that have come down to us through the teachings of Christianity: having broken the grip of scientistic presuppositions, the author succeeds in bringing to view universal truths which had long been obscured.

The God of Jane: A Psychic Manifesto


Jane Roberts - 1984
    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. From 1963 through 1984, Roberts channeled Seth, who described himself as an energy personality essence no longer focused in physical matter, while her husband, Robert Butts, took dictation. In addition to thirteen published books of her own, Roberts channeled nine books by Seth and a wealth of additional unpublished material all of which is housed at the Yale University Archives.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.

Time, Creation and the Continuum: Theories in Antiquity and the Early Middle Ages


Richard Sorabji - 1984
    Sorabji argues that the thought of these often negelected philosophers about the subject is, in many cases, more complete than that of their more recent counterparts.“Splendid. . . . The canvas is vast, the picture animated, the painter nonpareil. . . . Sorabji’s work will encourage more adventurers to follow him to this fascinating new-found land.”—Jonathan Barnes, Times Literary Supplement“One of the most important works in the history of metaphysics to appear in English for a considerable time. No one concerned with the problems with which it deals either as a historian of ideas or as a philosopher can afford to neglect it.”—Donald MacKinnon, Scottish Journal of Theology “Unusually readable for such scholarly content, the book provides in rich and cogent terms a lively and well-balanced discussion of matters of concern to a wide academic audience.”—Choice
