----------~o)0(o~------------- TRANSFORMATIONAL TEACHERS: Those who, through various ways and means, uncover, discover, reveal the truths of natural and divine laws and systems of the mind/body/soul, physics, quantum, etherial, and socio-political. I have given a lot of attention and space to spiritual and religious information on this site to more enable the seeker to make judgements finding more resources. However, it occurs to me that there are many wonderful authors who bring light into the world in shining a strong light on the balance of power and governance and the needs of collective humanity. Arundhati Roy of India is such marvelous social-political author and Noam Chompski another...having extensive humanitarian/political impacting insights.. More authors of this calibre will be added as I find them.. These authors reveal truths seldom revealed or thought of by either citizen nor politician. I feel there must be a synergistic balance of spiritual/political processes to establish a healthy humanity...in order for prosperity, peace and well being to flourish...and the Earth to recover. Perhaps the souls who come back in centuries to come will be well equipted to redesign the world in favor of compassion, equity and equilibrium for all...with no borders, bribes or bigotries. One can hope.

THEOSOPHY (Theo=god /sophy=wisdom) At the turn of the century, Eastern "wisdom" was coming to America through individuals like Madam Blavatsky, who spent years in the far East studying the texts of India and Tibet. Madam Blavatsky wrote volumes of work. Her most famous books are: The Secret Doctrine and Isis Unveiled. Influenced by this new knowledge, the free thinkers of the time, like Thoreau, Emersen, Whitman, and many other great authors and artists, formed a movement called Transcendentalism. Much of our great volumes of literature helpred form the modern thought of todays spiritual communities. At age 16, I learned the tenets of Transcendentalism in outline form and used it like a mantra. Doing this forged a steady bridge into adulthood. Somehow, I ended up with an inkling of Zen.

THE NEW SCIENCE OF MIND Christian scientists emerged in the early 1900's. The more well known are: ÷) Mary Baker Eddy, founder of Christian Science Church ÷)Charles & Myrtle Filmore, founders of Unity Church ÷) Ernest Holms, founder of Science of Mind What their "new science" brought forward was the hidden meanings of the metaphors and allegories of ancient texts of the East. Translating the metaphors and symbols opened wide the doors for developing the higher Self and Spiritual empowerment. Ascension became a common thread. Several popular book titles stemming from the new thought wave of the 1920s-30s were: ÷) The Power of Positive Thinking ÷) As A Man Thinkest ÷) Think and Grow Rich ÷) The Law of Attraction For me, the most positive aspect of all this knowledge is that it brought the Consciousness into Realization that what was thought to be "out there" apart from us, seperate in form, was actually melded "In here" within us. ..meaning that there is no seperateness from the Creator Intelligence, per se, but rather, we are that Energy in form, however small in part we appear to be. And the Creator/IAM Intelligence is responsive to us in all things as we turn our intention and attention to IT. We do not have to speak out loud to be heard, it is in our very thought process.

Today's contemporary metaphysicians bring a richness of dynamics helping us to understand more deeply the qualities and underpinnings of spiritual awakening.

The Four Agreements: don Miguel Ruiz & don Jose Luis Ruiz (Toltec Father & Son) .................................................................. "POWER Vs. FORCE" by David R Hawkins, M.D.,Ph.D. .................................................................. Everything is this world has a vibration. What ever a thing, thought, feeling may be, it is readable by its specific vibritory rate. Humans have great potential to elevate themselves either singularly or as a group or nation. Dr. Hawkins derived a numerical scale by means of dowsing and muscle testing thousands of people in groups, simultaneously and in private consultations, seminars, clinical experience and personal research. The hypothetical scale stratifies emotions and mentat states and their associated, equivalent vibrational value of from zero to 1,000. ______________ İŞİŞİŞİŞİŞİŞİ The Seeker will find these books to be of great value in determining truth: ÷) Power Vs Force ÷) The Eye of the I ÷) Reality and Subjectivity ÷) Transcending the Levels of Consciousness ______________ İŞİŞİŞİŞİŞİŞİ
