Eleven men embarked upon a journey in 1894 with one objective: to find the great spiritual teachers of the Far East and witness their uncommon abilities. Since these Masters were scattered over a wide territory that covered a large portion of India, Tibet, China and Persia, they knew it could take years of searching many secluded villages and hidden mountain communes. Planning each step of the journey became a challenge knowing that countless miles of rugged terrain separated the remote and isolate locations that were imperative to the exploration. Even though they could plot their route on a map and see where they were headed, the destination deep within the souls of eleven scientifically trained men remained uncertain. Baird T. Spalding and the others were practical in nature and the thought of spiritual masters performing miracles seemed impossible. Despite these suspect thoughts, something compelled them to move onward. So they did. Volume 1 covers the introduction of the Master Emil the visit to the "Temple of Silence"; astral projection; walking on Water a visit to the Healing Temple; the Snowmen of the Himalayas and sheds new light on the teachings of Jesus.

The Camino: Shirley MacLaine
$12.00This is the story of a journey. It is the eagerly anticipated and altogether startling culmination of Shirley MacLaine's extraordinary -- and ultimately rewarding -- road through life. The riveting odyssey began with a pair of anonymous handwritten letters imploring Shirley to make a difficult pilgrimage along the Santiago de Compostela Camino in Spain. Throughout history, countless illustrious pilgrims from all over Europe have taken up the trail. It is an ancient -- and allegedly enchanted -- pilgrimage. People from St. Francis of Assisi and Charlemagne to Ferdinand and Isabella to Dante and Chaucer have taken the journey, which comprises a nearly 500-mile trek across highways, mountains and valleys, cities and towns, and fields. Now it would be Shirley's turn. For Shirley, the Camino was both an intense spiritual and physical challenge. A woman in her sixth decade completing such a grueling trip on foot in thirty days at twenty miles per day was nothing short of remarkable. But even more astounding was the route she took back thousands of years, through past lives to the very origin of the universe. Through a range of astonishing and liberating visions and revelations, Shirley saw into the meaning of the cosmos, including the secrets of the ancient civilizations of Atlantis and Lemuria, insights into human genesis, the essence of gender and sexuality, and the true path to higher love. -
Battered on one side by the Church’s leadership response to scandal, and with platitudes and doctrinaire responses to questions of faith on the other, Catholics feel adrift, ignored and undervalued. Why does Collins remain a Catholic? In answering this question for himself, he offers a thought-provoking and encouraging examination of what makes a Catholic, the nature of Catholicism and how Catholics perceive themselves in the modern world. Drawing on great religious thinkers, he considers the nature of mature spirituality and how it can be achieved in the church today. He also makes a plea for recognition of the natural world and why developing an ecological theology is important to become physical and spiritual being. He discusses the relevance of conscience and how essential it is for the individual and community to understand and respond to it. -

After Dudley died in 1993 – did she quietly retire? No, she decided to learn how to drive, at the age of 82. A fascinating life. Illustrated with black and white photographs.
