Technology touches every part of our lives. Computers put men out of work; pushing a single button can start a nuclear war. Yet gradually, the world is beginning to remember that it is Man for whom the machines must work, not the other way around. Science, for all its achievements, has not really helped us understand ourselves or realise our potential. Each of us needs to take it upon ourselves to understand our true nature and strength, remembering the infinite power given to us by the Universe and that the power of Buddha, a saint or even a great business man is available to all. The author regards his Four Principles to Unify Mind and Body as having been given to him by the universe to spread the word of the way of the universe and asks that each reader of this book pass the teachings within to others. -

From this making of the world, to Ragnarok - the last Great Battle - Green tells the story in one continuous narrative taken from the myths of the Northmen. From the ice and snow of the past comes the tale of how, in the beginning, there was only the Yawning Void, called Ginnungagap: but deep in the Void lay the Well of Life. Over the ages ice formed over the Well, and out of it came Ymir, the father of the Frost Giants. Ymir was fed on the milk of a magic cow who licked the ice, and with it salt from the Well of Life to form Buri, the first of the Ǣsir. Buri had a son, Borr, whowas the father of Odin. Odin and his brothers overcame the ice and the Ymir, thrusting them down into the Yawning Void. They set the sea in a ring about the world, and planted the World Tree, the Ash Yggdrasill, to hold it in place. These stories are taken directly from the Norse eddas and include tales of Loki the mischief maker, Freya, Geirrodur the Troll King and much more. Illustrated by Brian Wildsmith. -

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.
