Experiences in Self-Healing

"Just as the sun acts through a sheet of glass so the Law of Attraction acts through the conventionalities of a race. Whatever comes together is drawn together by the Law. Whatever is held together is held by that same Law of Attraction. This is just as true in unhappy marriages as in happy ones. If two people are distinctly enough individualized; that is, if they understand and command themselves sufficiently; their attraction and marriage will bring to them only pleasure. If they are not distinctly enough individualized there will be a monkey-and-parrot experience whilst they are working out the wisdom for which they were attracted. The Law of Attraction draws people together that they may learn. There is but one Life, which is growth in wisdom and knowledge. There is but one Death, which is refusal to learn."

Happiness and Marriage

IN this book I design to state in logical and practical form the new philosophy of life and To do this I must stick closely to a clear statement of the philosophy itself, without trying to give you too many proofs. It might take seventy lectures to reason you into accepting the new view of life; and still you would be unconvinced. Why? Because reason is an endless labyrinth out of which no man emerges unaided by a higher wisdom than itself. Reason is the original Chinese puzzle, forever unsolved until you get up above reason; up above the labyrinth and look down upon it to see where you are going. The walls, and walls within walls, of reason's labyrinth are your prejudices. No man climbs over a prejudice; he merely seeks the first opening around it, and finds himself in another alley of the labyrinth! The only way to know a blind alley before you see it, the only way to know your own prejudice-wall when you see it, is to go up in a balloon and look down. Once admit that there is a way to get above reason, that there is an intelligence above reason, in which reason lives and moves and by which it expands and grows, and you find yourself already mounting and looking over the walls of those blind alleys of reason that lead into more blind alleys. If you keep on looking down on reason you will eventually raze many of its prejudice-walls, that serve no purpose except to cut off the view of life as a whole. "A narrow mind" is a most expressive term; it exactly describes the mind whose energy flows between endless prejudice-walls that merely shut off its view of larger things, while it wanders endlessly in mental alleys that lead to more mental alleys, weariness, death. These prejudice-alleys-common to all mankind-are alleys built through reasoning by the light of the five physical senses only. Not until man finds these inadequate and turns away yearning for a satisfaction never found, does he realize that after all there may be more to life than he has seen, smelt, felt, heard, or tasted. Then he looks up from his mental alleys and glimpses-PRINCIPLE, instead of things; God above and in things, instead of man alone, inadequate. "He that cometh unto God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him." Perhaps there may be some who cannot get away from their prejudices long enough to really catch the new view of life. Let us take a hint from Shakespeare, then, and play pretend. "If all the world's a stage" and we are players, let us choose to lay aside our old parts while we read these pages, and let us take up the new part of the new thought philosophy, forgetting the old and putting into the new all the imagination and will and interest at our command. Let us assume a philosophy if we have it not. Let us play pretend, like children. Only as little children can we enter a new heaven and transformed life.

Lessons in Living

Is it possible that the cures for all that ail us can be found within ourselves? The adherents of New Thought thinking of the late 19th century-an early "New Age" movement-believed so, and in this classic book, first published in 1905, an influential New Thought voice details her own experiences with self-healing. In cheerful, friendly language, she explains how she discovered that how her conscious decisions to think and feel a certain way led to those thoughts and feelings coming to pass, and how by "acting as if" led to the actualization of all she desired. This is a provocative and inspiring work that continues to have a powerful impact on readers today, more than a century after it was written. American writer and editor ELIZABETH TOWNE (b.1865) founded Nautilus, the premiere magazine of the New Thought movement. She is also the author of Joy Philosophy (1903), Happiness and Marriage (1904), and Lessons in Living (1910).

It may sound incredible, but your solar plexus -- a complex network of nerves in the abdomen -- plays a key role in calibrating your physical, mental, and even spiritual well-being. In this guide, author Elizabeth Towne outlines a series of exercises and techniques to help optimize the function of these nerves. Once you have gained control of your solar plexus, Towne contends that you will be able to bring more serenity and tranquility into your life.

Just How to Wake the Solar Plexus

The sun gives forth to us heat and light rays, without which this old world could never be. Glory to warmth and light, which are power and wisdom shed upon us. But there is likewise a third kind of ray shed by old Sol, whose mission we may not so readily bless. The sun’s actinic rays are death-dealing. They cause disintegration, decomposition.

The Life Power and How to Use It

Uno dei miti sul matrimonio è che vi renderà felici. Non è sempre vero. Un matrimonio felice dipende dalla felicità che si ha dentro e sposarsi non è necessariamente la chiave per raggiungere la beatitudine eterna. La maggior parte delle persone non è più soddisfatta della propria vita dopo il matrimonio di quanto non fosse prima del matrimonio. Perché un uomo sposato sia significativamente soddisfatto della sua vita è necessario che sua moglie diventi più soddisfatta di se stessa, e viceversa. Avere un coniuge felice può compensare grandi problemi. ‘‘Felicità e matrimonio’’ è un interessante libro di auto-aiuto al mantenimento di un sano rapporto coniugale. Vi aiuta a riflettere sui vostri errori e debolezze, e anche su quei falsi miti che spesso costituiscono la base dei vostri atteggiamenti. Riconoscere tali atteggiamenti vi renderà capaci di cambiare le carte in tavola e ritrovare il rispetto per la vostra persona. L’autrice fornisce un valido strumento per prendere maggiore coscienza del rapporto che ognuno ha con se stesso e con il proprio coniuge, sottolineando, senza retorica, l’importanza del ‘dare amore’, ancor prima del ‘ricevere amore’, osservando la realtà con gli occhi dell’altro, in uno spirito di profondo rispetto e uguaglianza. Il libro rappresenta anche una guida per tutte le aree della vita. Dai problemi di relazione con il proprio compagno, a quelli con i parenti, all’educazione dei bambini. È una lettura che fornisce risposte a molte situazioni difficili. Mostra come migliorare anzitutto il vostro stato d’animo e, quindi, il vostro matrimonio.
