At the height of his influence, Albert Schweitzer was often referred to as the most famous of living men.  He inspired millions by his revelation of how rich a human life can be.

He once said, “No one can give a definition of the soul.  But we know what it feels like.  The soul is the sense of something higher than ourselves, something that stirs in us thoughts, hopes, and aspirations which go out to the world of goodness, truth and beauty.  The soul is a burning desire to breathe in this world of light and never to lose it - to remain children of light.”

It is now over several decades since his death, and as we look at what is taking place in the political arena of the United States; in the war-torn areas of the world and the constant strife which appears to be a distinct part of the human psyche, perhaps it is time to listen again to what this brilliant and gentle man had to say during his life.

Dinshah Ghadiali, was one of the greatest researchers and practitioners of color therapy in history.  He developed the Spectro-Chrome system of color therapy which was used in the early part of the 20th century.  In the 1920s and 1930s he had students learning his system who were physicians, surgeons, dentists and others allied in the health field. Two of his more notable graduates were Dr. Kate W. Baldwin in 1921, and her brother in 1922, Dr. L. Grant Baldwin, an eminent surgical/gynecological authority and a charter member of the American College of Surgeons - Mayo Clinics.  Grant Baldwin placed a number of Spectro-Chrome devices in service in his Brooklyn, New York clinic.  Kate spent 23 years as the senior surgeon at Philadelphia Woman’s Hospital, and introduced Spectro-Chrome in that institution.

The following article was extracted from The Divining Hand: The 500-Year-Old Mystery of Dowsing, by Christober Bird

“Dowsing can best be explained as to search with the aid of a hand-held instrument such as a forked stick or a pendular bob on the end of a string - for anything: Subterranean water flowing in a narrow underground fissure, a pool of oil or a vein of mineral ore, a buried sewer pipe or electrical cable, an airplane downed in a mountain wilderness, a disabled ship helplessly adrift in a gale, a lost wallet or dog, a missing person, a buried treasure or to help someone with a physical problem.

When first introduced to this method of location that has long defied, and continues to defy, rational explanation, most people react with a knee-jerk response of rank disbelief. Read the rest »

Extracts were taken from his autobiography, The Modern Bethesda, Or the Gift of Healing Restored (1879)

Dr. James Rogers Newton was born in Newport, Rhode Island, on September 8th, 1810, and was a lineal descendant of John Rogers, who was burned at the stake.

In his youth, Dr. Newton enjoyed all the advantages that competence and good judgment could confer. He early evinced a strong proclivity for the medical profession, or more properly speaking, an inclination to do battle with old Allopathy, to modify and improve, if not to entirely change, the prevailing system of medical practice, so as to make it more in accordance with nature’s laws; but various circumstances combined to prevent the gratification of his desires.

At an early age he became aware of possessing the gift of healing, Read the rest »

Excerpts taken from Magic and Medical Science in Ancient Egypt, by Paul Ghalioungui (1963)

Although most of the medical papyri we know come from about the Renaissance, it is certain that they are only copies, often third- or fourth-hand ones, of older works.  Occasionally stray pages were copied on the papyrus scrolls by scribes with no previous medical training, who paid no attention to continuity of subject.

Long ago, when writing was a secret science, the Egyptian scribe was not a simple copyist.  He had the combined training of a calligrapher, a philosopher, a scholar and a scientist.  Many physicians prided themselves on bearing the title of scribe among their others, and like Hesyreh, had themselves portrayed with the palette and reeds, the sesh, symbol of that learned class.  The actual copying was probably performed in the pir-ankh or Houses of Life that were attached to the temples and where the scholars, physicians, philosophers and scientists of the time used to meet.

We know of nine principal medical papyri.  Read the rest »

Taken from, The Life and Selected Writings of Thomas Jefferson, Edited by Adrienne Koch & William Peden, 1944.

Thomas Jefferson was born on April 13, 1743.  He took office as the third President of the United States.  The following is excerpted from a letter to his favorite nephew, Peter Carr, who had just begun his university studies.  The letter was written on August 19, 1785.

“…Time now begins to be precious to you.  Every day you lose will retard a day your entrance on that public stage whereon you may begin to be useful to yourself.  The way to repair the loss is to improve the future time.  When your mind shall improve nothing will be necessary to place you in the highest points of view, but to pursue the interests of your country, the interests of your friends, and your own interests also, with the purest integrity, the most chaste honor.

The defect of these virtues can never be made up by all the other acquirements of body and mind.  Make these then your first object.  Give up money, give up fame, give up science, give up the earth itself and all it contains, rather than do a dishonorable thing.  And never suppose, that in any possible situation, or under any circumstances, it is best for you to do Read the rest »

Throughout the centuries, many authors had suggested the possibilities of combining music and color in their presentations.  Perhaps Louis Bertrand Castel was probably the first to imagine the existence of an independent art of color-music.  Recognized as one of the most eminent mathematicians of his day, in 1720 he first describes his La Musique en Couleurs.  Castel’s writings cover a wide range of thoughts and he appears to be as much interested in aesthetics and philosophy as he was in mathematics and geometry.
