“Since man first became conscious of himself, he has been eager to understand the two most striking mysteries surrounding him: The enigma of the natural phenomena, and the secret of his own existence.  What is the motive force within him that thinks, wills, loves, and hates?  What takes place in his system that subjects him to sickness and afflicts him with physical and mental suffering?  With the meager knowledge at his command, man has traced the origin of the world and its manifold natural events to one source, divine power, and localized in himself an essential supernatural principle, a soul that governs his physiology and psychology.

It is commonly believed that the primitive philosopher resorted to supernatural conceptions of the universe out of choice.  Nothing could be further from the truth.  Read the rest »

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.

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 »
