Beethoven and the Spiritual Path
by David Tame

The ancients believed that music had the power sublimely to evolve or utterly to degrade the human psyche. Modern researchers have shown that music can exert a powerful influence on health, the state of mind, the emotions, and the physical body. Beethoven thoroughly understood this. Even in childhood he was aware of the inner power of music-its power to transform consciousness. His earliest letters tell of a young man already composing not for himself but for others and in the service of humanity.

Fairies at Work and Play
by Geoffrey Hodson

There is another order of evolution running parallel to and blending with our own. Clairvoyant Geoffrey Hodson captures the vast variety of etheric forms working with nature, stimulating growth, bringing color to the flowers, brooding over nature’s beauty, dancing in the wind and sunlight. Meet the magical miniature world of green, transparent sea spirits; the entrancingly beautiful undine; the laughing, delicate, golden fairie; the slim, graceful, flowingly robed nature devas; and the ancient hard working brownies. Learn to perceive and partake in the work of the dynamic, unseen forces and forms which surround us and propel us toward our own human evolutionary potentials.

Fire of Creation
by J.J. Van Der Leeuw

The Holy Ghost, the Fire of Creation, is so crucial to our approach to life that the wonder is the relatively inconspicuous position it has held in Christian dogma. Van der Leeuw speaks forthrightly and in depth to this subject. A priest in the Liberal Catholic Church, he was, in modern terminology, an ecumenical Christian, relating religious concepts from all known times and all known places to the inner teachings of Jesus.

Hatha Yoga
by Wallace Slater

Hatha Yoga deals with the care, health, and well-being of the physical body through conscious control of the vibrations of matter. The Hatha yogi proceeds in consciousness from the physical to the mental to the spiritual, leading to the development of the inner spiritual self manifesting through thoughts, feelings, and actions in the outer world.

The Light of Asia
by Edwin Arnold

Sir Edwin Arnold has rendered in exquisite poetic form the story of the Buddha’s search, enlightenment, and teaching. First published in 1879, the book has become a classic and has been published in many editions and in many languages. Not only is it deeply philosophical in nature, but because of its poetic form and its narrative of the dramatic incidents in Siddhartha’s life, it is delightful and absorbing reading.

Light on the Path-Minature
by Mabel Collins

“To read, in the occult sense, is to read with the eyes of the spirit.” Light on the Pathi> is a book to be studied with the intuition. An Occult Classic!

Raja Yoga
by Wallace Slater

Yoga is the discovery of the Self and the inspiration of the spirit within. Each step in Raja Yoga is intended to assist the student in developing the moral and ethical foundations necessary for yoga: control of the physical body through postures and diet; pranayama, or breathing techniques; control of emotions and senses; and control of the mind.

Science of Yoga
by I.K. Taimni

There is indeed a science of yoga, and this book is a presentation for the student interested, not only in acquiring excellence of yogic performance, but in determining a rationale for the usefulness of this frequently sense-transcending discipline. The most famous exponent, and in fact, the creator of the yogic discipline, was Patanjali, the great India philosopher and spiritual leader. Patanjali’s Yoga-Sutras have in fact evolved into one of the six classical schools of Indian philosophy, and are the most quoted and the most adopted of any yogic system.

When the Sun Moves Northward
