My dear children, do not blame others for your lack of success. Seek the cause of your ills in yourselves. Unless you are blinded by vanity you will discover your fault, and having discovered it you will see the way out of it. The remedy for your ills, too, lies in yourselves. Never let your mental eyes be covered by the dust of selfishness. If you heed my words and obey these injunctions you will, when you come to die, continue to live in the good Karma that you have stored up, and your souls will be immortalised according to your deeds.

This little book appeals, perhaps, to the Eastern rather than to the Western type of mind, but so many souls trained in the East are now being reincarnated in the West that it may find friendly [listeners] away from the land of its birth. Addressed to a purely Hindu audience, the lectures contain many common Samskrit words, familiar to every Hindu, that may sound strange in the ears of [listeners] of other faiths

I want to put before you, if I can in these three lectures, a certain view of the world, and of the way in which that world is guided and directed. As this meeting is a public meeting, there is one statement I think that I ought to make, which it would not be necessary to make, if it were composed of members of the Theosophical Society. It is important to remember that in the Theosophical Society we have no authority on matters of opinion.

The Borden case is without parallel in the criminal history of America. It is the most interesting and, perhaps, the most puzzling murder which has occurred in this country. There are in it all the elements which make such an event worth knowing more about since, in the first place, it was a mysterious crime in a class of society where such deeds of violence are not only foreign, but usually wildly impossible.

O you, my gentle listener, I wish to say a foreword of warning before you peruse the contents of this book. I am not a poet, nor a scholar, therefore you shall find neither poems nor prose. Just dreams - daydreams - a bit of romance, a bit of sentimentalism, a bit of philosophy, not studied, but acquired by constant observation of that greatest of masters: nature!

In this little sketch of the Druid work and thought. A Mr. Freeman unlocks a door which opens on long vistas of suggestive beauty, down which we would fain wander to gather the flowers of wisdom and tradition of which we catch a glimpse. That the Druids held in trust secrets of science and mystic lore we know. Persecution by the ignorant and the superstitious slew, and drove into hiding the wise and the understanding, and robbed the lands of the kelts of music and poesy, of art and grace, save that which was interwoven in the soul of the people and made them what they were.

A fascinating story of how the teachings of Confucius came to the western world, told to a 17th century Englishman by an ancient ghost.

The Art of Gregorian Music has been selected as a suitable beginning because it deals on broad lines with the principles underlying the restoration of the liturgical chant of the Catholic Church. The paper was originally read before the Catholic University of Paris in 1896 and thus antedated, by nearly a decade, the official action of the Holy See.

The sensational case of Leo M. Frank is undisputedly Atlanta's and the south’s greatest murder mystery of modern years. The story of how little Mary Phagan was foully murdered us she went to get her pay at the National Pencil factory, revolting and horrible as it is in its details, naturally interests every working man and every working woman. The Mary Phagan murder mystery, however, lost its identity when Leo M. Frank, superintendent of the big factory, was arrested. The reason of the unusual importance of the case is that Frank was being persecuted because he was a Jew.

It's amazing how relevant these century-old words of Bernard Shaw's are right now. Just like then nobody understands the concept of socialism, and the fact that any successful democracy is a socialist democracy to some extent.

They might not have had social media a hundred years ago, but this smackdown by Bernard Shaw on this poor guy is awesome. Also, this is a great way to actually learn what democratic socialism is instead of just throwing it around as a bogeyman buzzword.

An intuitive imagination enjoys that supreme mode of understanding reality for which mystics crave. It "stands under" things; a reasoned system only "stands for" them.

As with all the books in this series, the goal is to find selections which most clearly and succinctly, even though they are 100 years old, describe and prescribe the "life" you need to live to experience the law of attraction. It's different than we hear today. And it makes a lot of sense.

This new old study of the Logos manifest in the macrocosm is awakening man to a principle of knowledge and a revelation of Providence. It is a priceless treasure, for in its study life becomes a beautiful stream of interpretation and an enjoyment of light. The Logos is and interprets cosmic force; it is life, sensation; it is man’s reason; it is his prescience, intuition and inspiration. The Logos is the archetype, original pattern of all created things. It overshadows all minds. It creates, advances, and evolves man.

In this short course of lessons we initiate you into the mysteries of some practical tests and experiments bearing on occult art magic.

Elinor Moody teaches that the commitment necessary to fully understand and "live" the Law of Attraction is not trivial. Consistency in thought and action are paramount, she says.
