PHYSICIANS OF THE SOUL By Robert M. May

THE PSYCHOLOGIES OF THE WORLD’S GREAT SPIRITUAL TEACHERS
It is a book for those who are seeking self-realization, the liberation of the self from itself. Will humanity witness the appearance of the ‘enlightened’ one who unites all of us?

Robert May is a teacher and a writer on the subjects of psychology, religion and mythology. He has written some books in this field which include Cosmic Consciousness Revisited, Echoes of God, A Journal of One Man’s Search for God, and Oz and Other Myths of the Journey. Dr. May’s spiritual search began in 1962 when he was twenty years old. In 1971 he resigned his college teaching position and “entered the path”. In his inner journey he had spiritual teachers from different traditions such as the Aricans, Sufism, Taoism, Yoga, Tibetan Buddhism, Kabbala, Jungian analysis in a Christian mystical context, Incan Indian teachings, and a course in Miracles, which is about modern Christian Mystical Teachings.

A Confession by Leo Tolstoy

    Written A Hundred Years Ago, Will Be Appreciated In Future
In the Introduction to the newly published English version of The last days of Leo Tolstoy by Vladimir Chertkov, his closest friend, the publisher writes: ”Nearly a century after his death, Leo Nikolayevich Tolstoy remains a giant in the world of literature. While the impact of his ‘spiritual’ mission cannot be fully gauged”. A Confession by Leo Tolstoy written in the last decades of the last century could not have been appreciated among the majority in a world that materialism was propagated as the only credible way of approaching knowledge. Talking about any spiritual dimension was miscomprehended as an attempt that could not lead but to irrationality and non scientific thinking. In the New Age where people have started to feel their existence as spirits and not only matter, Tolstoy’s experience is expected to receive so much appreciation.
A Confession by Leo Tolstoy is a very inspiring work for those who are interested in the question: what is the meaning of life? For Tolstoy it was not an exercise of the intellect; it was an arduous search from the side of someone who “had reached the impossibility of living, a cessation of life and the necessity of suicide”. How come that “so imperceptibly and gradually did the force of life” return to him? Was it a new discovery? Tolstoy says that it was “quite old-the same that had borne me along in my earliest days.” Why and how then did it leave him? Here is the whole story as much as possible in the words he expressed it.
At the age of 18 he started to be skeptical about all what he learnt at school as a Christian Orthodox. The signs of the cross and genuflection he made in prayers were, for him, meaningless actions and he could no longer continue doing them. He shared with others the impression that always religious persons were noticed to be “dull-witted, cruel, and immoral people who tend to consider themselves very important “, while “intelligence, honesty, straightforwardness, good naturedness and morality are qualities usually found among people who claim to be non believers.”

To Those Who Are Searching by Alian Guillo

  • Translated by: Magda El Mufti
Someone who has passed away to the Spirit World tells us about the details of her death experience.
The words of Louise in TO THOSE WHO ARE SEARCHING by ALAIN GUILLO will always make every one of us remember that everything he does here on earth, good or bad, has got a spiritual effect of its same nature that will constitute his "luggage" for the long journey in the Spirit World.

p>In this book the reader shares an actual spiritual experience with the author which is that of “spontaneous writing“ in which he has received messages from the Spiritual World. Francois Brune wrote the introduction to this work, and in it he indicated that “it is not a philosophical work written by an existentialist philosopher. In fact it is the work of someone whom the Existence transformed him into a philosopher … It helps each one of us to further understand the meaning of our life, where we have come from, where we are going!? Also it helps us to further understand the reasons behind all the tests and obstacles encountering us, ones that have caused us much pain!!
