A Course In Miracles

This is a: course in miracles., It is a required course., Only the time you take it is voluntary., Free will does not mean that you can establish the curriculum., It means only that you can elect what you want to take at a given time., The course does not aim at teaching the meaning of love,, for that is beyond what can be taught., It does aim, however, at removing the blocks to, the awareness of love's presence,, which is your natural inheritance., The opposite of love is fear,, but what is all-encompassing can have no opposite., This course can therefore be summed up very simply in this way:, Nothing real can be threatened., Nothing unreal exists., Herein lies the peace of God.

Through the Reason (Theology) of the Text, the direct application of the ideas (Psychology) in the Workbook, and the application of the ideas in the Teachers Manual, you are led directly into an experience of Union with God, or the Direct Method of Enlightenment.

Awakening Your Soul
by Fred A. Wolfe

Experiments designed to expose quantum physics principles have shown that observing nature depends on choices made by the observer. These experiments lead to new concepts describing the relation between an observer and the thing observed. These concepts also can be applied to subjective observation and hence to observing and awakening the soul. The popular aphorism, what you see is what you get, appears to apply to the world we experience as “out there.” However an equally appropriate maxim appears to be, what you see is what you expect. When applied to observation of the soul, the two maxims show that you also have two complementary ways to observe your subjective reality: spiritually and materially. In this article National Book Award winner Dr. Fred Alan Wolf shows us how this most modern perspective of quantum physics can be applied to the questions: How do I awaken my soul consciousness? How do I become aware that I am (not just have) spiritual nature? By learning to invoke both aphorisms the soul can be awakened and you can feel its presence in every thing you do.

Fringe Knowledge For Beginners
By Montalk
Version 0.11 » May 2007
Independently Published through Lulu.com

Foreword

The last half of my life has been spent in the active pursuit of truth. In the following pages I sketch the broadest map of what I have learned in the fewest words possible. You will not find proof between the covers of this book, rather ideas and principles that give you understanding and perspective on proof existing all around and within you. The more you investigate these ideas for yourself, the more intelligently you can judge the accuracy of my map.

If ignorance is bliss, why seek truth? Because permanent freedom is far more valuable than temporary comfort. Truth frees you from the manipulation, miscalculation, and disillusionment that ignorance inevitably brings. You want to know, and no amount of external gratification can satisfy that inner vacuum yearning to be filled with meaning, purpose, and understanding. Society once suffered from ignorant superstition; today it suffers from ignorant skepticism. When people are confronted with a challenging view, most see only that it differs from their own, and so they dismiss higher truths beyond their recognition as quickly as they would those obvious delusions beneath their threshold of gullibility. Higher knowledge is therefore fringe knowledge because those who pursue it have been alienated to the fringes of society. These fringe truth seekers follow their hearts and open their minds, having placed more importance on the liberation of their souls than the conventions of society. Treat this book as a working hypothesis, an educated guess to be tested by your own experiences, research, and insights. Take what makes sense and leave the rest for another time.

Handbook of the Navigator
by Eric J. Pepin

"All that is gold does not glitter,
not all those who wander are lost.
The old that is strong does not wither,
deep roots are not reached by the frost.
From the ashes a fire shall be woken,
a light from the shadows shall spring.
Renewed shall be blade that was broken,
the crownless again shall be king."

~ J.R.R. Tolkien ~

Wisdom of the I Ching
by Eyler Roberts Coates, Sr.

Introduction

The I Ching, or Book of Changes, is an ancient Chinese book of wisdom and divination. Rather than foretelling the future, however, the I Ching instead tells
us what we should do if our lives are to be in harmony with the forces of the universe that determine the future. In this respect, the knowledge it imparts is far better than a mere foreseeing of future events, for it tells us those actions we might take that are most beneficial for our life on this planet as we face the future. Divination using the I Ching is a fairly simple process of finding an answer that is applicable to a particular personal problem. Most readers of the book find it has far more significance if it is applied in this way to a real-life situation. Indeed, much of the book seems to consist of simple-minded truisms. But when a person is in the midst of a difficult and perplexing situation, even a simple but appropriate truism can be an enormous help.

This edition of the I Ching emphasizes the wisdom of the book and omits most of the esoteric symbolic images, save as occasional metaphors and illustrations.

Thus, it serves as an easily understood introduction to the I Ching and a preparation for more intensive study, if that is desired. An Appendix is in preparation and will contain instructions for using the book for divination, which, of course, requires access to all 64 of the hexagrams. Until the entire work is completed, however, it can still be read for an understanding of this profound example of ancient Chinese philosophy.
