In publishing this, the second volume of Life and Teaching of the Masters of the Far East, I am purposely omitting names of people and places. I feel that I am at liberty to withhold names of places and locations, according the listener the privilege of accepting as fact or fiction as they deems expedient.

The Mind’s Hidden Superpowers Behind every thought, every nudge of intuition and every unexplainable moment lies a hidden intelligence quietly working on your behalf. In The Miracle Inside Your Head, Anthony Talmage brings together thirty gripping, true-life explorations that reveal the mind’s untapped abilities—powers that science is only beginning to acknowledge and that our ancestors understood instinctively.

IN THE following book I attempt to call the listener's attention to the closeness of Meister Eckhart's way of thinking to that of Mahāyāna Buddhism, especially of Zen Buddhism. The attempt is only a tentative and sketchy one, far from being systematic and exhaustive. But I hope the reader will find something in it which evokes his curiosity enough to undertake further studies of this fascinating topic.

The 15 tractates of the Corpus Hermeticum, along with the Perfect Sermon or Asclepius, are the foundation documents of the Hermetic tradition. Written by unknown authors in Egypt sometime before the end of the third century CE, they were part of a once substantial literature attributed to the mythic figure of Hermes Trismegistus, a Hellenistic fusion of the Greek god Hermes and the Egyptian god Thoth.

This book is for serious students of the metaphysical but has the merit of being accessible to those who have discovered the fascinating world of the mind. It also serves as an alternative guide to harnessing the life-transforming power found where the worlds of quantum science and the paranormal meet.

This book is your ultimate guide to breaking free from outdated, ineffective approaches to habits and finally building the life you've always wanted. With practical, science-backed strategies, you’ll discover how to create lasting change—without relying on fleeting motivation or sheer willpower.

There are records which show that thousands of years ago, in the secret temples in Egypt, there were people called Hermetics, who retired from the world for the purpose of getting closer to Divine Mind. They separated themselves from all religious thought, and made a unity with Divine Resource, the Cause Side of existence. They were like some of our scientists, experimenters in the laboratory of Being.

Dorothy lived in the midst of the great Kansas prairies, with Uncle Henry, who was a farmer, and Aunt Em, who was the farmer's wife. Their house was small, for the lumber to build it had to be carried by wagon many miles.

When the Hebrew Singer—marveling at the fact, of which he had no doubt, that man is visited by God—exclaimed, "When I consider Thy Heavens," he was undoubtedly comparing the apparent littleness of man with the vastness of the universe of which he was conscious of. For him, the expression "Thy heavens" included the universe whose existence was demonstrated by the "moon and the stars." Evidently, it was like a song composed at night. Like all inspired expressions, it was inclusive. But how much it included, the Singer certainly did not know.

One of the greatest drawbacks in the study of primitive peoples is the difficulty, one might almost say the impossibility, of obtaining an inside view of their culture from their own lips and by their own initiative. Sound interesting? The author thinks so too! Listen to The Autobiography of a Winnebago Indian, and learn about biographies.

No one has commanded more universal comment and attention than the mystic who was known by the name of the Comte de St. Germain. A hero of romance, a charlatan, a swindler, and an adventurer; rich and varied were the names that showered freely upon him. Hated by the many, loved and reverenced by the few, time has not yet lifted the veil that screened his true mission from the vulgar speculators of the period. Then, as now, the occultist was dubbed charlatan by the ignorant; only some men and women here and there realized the power with which he stood possessed.

Students of divine science rejoice in the all-inclusiveness of this teaching. Nothing is excluded; all is to be understood and interpreted aright. An omnipresent god does not confine the revelation of himself to any one channel, but he flows into expression wherever he is given the right of way. Therefore, every ardent and persistent seeker discovers truth, and as a result, contributes something toward the well-being of mankind.

God's almighty power and wisdom expresses itself most characteristically in the acceptance of what the world calls weakness or foolishness. Matthew tells the story of one who - knowing himself to be the personification of God's creative power and wisdom - questions himself.

A third class have so far progressed along the Path of Life that they have crossed the borders of a new plane of consciousness. They are in a strange land - they see no familiar landmarks - they do not recognize the country that lies before them.

The world is a thing of wonder and we should be filled with a greater sense of what is wonderful. But it so happens that in many respects we are still in a primitive stage of development, so that instead of a feeling of reverence and appreciation for the world about us, we inadequately interpret it in terms of the miraculous, the magical, and the mysterious.

We are meeting for the purpose of getting a fuller understanding of the powers that are latent within us. Our prayers, our meditations, and all of our words, should tend to the one point in the lesson - strength. Remember, this is a school in which the Lord of the universe is the teacher.

As students of truth, we know that there is one universal strength, "in you all, through you all and above you all," and that man expresses that strength. And let us be "instant," as Paul says, in our prayer for strength.
