When our great scientist, Dr. Robert Millikan, was young and very poor, he set a goal for himself. Condensing his dream of greatness and security into a simple statement, he silently repeated the thought over and over again. This he did until the feelings of greatness and security crowded all other thoughts out of his consciousness. These are his words: "I have a lavish, steady, dependable income, consistent with integrity and mutual benefit."

Since Yogananda’s Autobiography is now in the public domain and freely available on the Internet for download, I thought it might be very helpful to skeptically analyze a number of the more extraordinary stories within the text. This book takes a hard look at Yogananda's Autobiography from a critical perspective. Also included are three helpful appendices.

During Good Friday, undoubtedly millions attend services and hear some portion of the last seven words of Christ; but I wonder how many of them know who he is and what the words really mean. I tell you: Jesus Christ is your awareness, your I Amness, who became as you are that you may be as he is. I want you to accept this literally, for it is true.

This short summary and analysis covers the 33 key secrets of ancient Europe and Rome. The secrets and synopsis are extracted from the famous book Meditations, written by the emperor Marcus Aurelius. Imperator Caesar Marcus Aurelius Antoninus Augustus (AD 121-180) was emperor of Rome from AD 161 till his death in AD 180. He was notable among Roman emperors, as he was a devotee of the study and practice of philosophy. History implies that Marcus also served as a priest to the Roman state religion.

These words have been written with purpose and hope that their suggestions may furnish you a key to open up the way to the attainment of your desires, and to explain that Fear should be entirely banished from your effort to obtain possession of the things you desire. This presupposes, of course, that your desire for possession is based upon your aspiration for greater liberty. For example, you feel that the possession of more money, lands, or friends will make you happier, and your desire for possession of these things arises from a conviction that their possession will bring you liberty and happiness.

"Big-Foot Wallace” is better known throughout Texas as an Indian-fighter, hunter, and ranger, than any one, perhaps, now living in the State; which is saying a good deal when the great number who have acquired more or less notoriety in that way is taken into consideration. Few men now living, I am confident, have witnessed as many stirring incidents, had more “hair-breadth escapes,” or gone through more of the hardships and perils of a border life.

I did not, of course, get Apauk’s story of his life in the sequence in which it is here laid down. On consecutive evenings he would relate incidents far apart in time, and only by later questionings would I be able to fill in the gaps. But at last I got together the whole of it, to my own satisfaction, and I hope the listener may get as much pleasure from the story as I did in the hearing of it.

The year is 1863 and the prairies are swarming with war parties from enemy tribes. The two boys must travel far and fight hard to keep their scalps and count coups

The Quest of the Fish-Dog Skin is a story of the adventures of two Indian boys or, rather, of an Indian boy and a white boy, Indian. These two set forth from the lodges of the Blackfeet, in company with an older Indian who acts as their guide, philosopher, and friend, on a far quest to the salt water to find the medicine-animal that is called "fish-dog" because it lives only in the water, swimming like a fish, yet has the face of a dog and barks like a dog.

Black Otter, the son of Lone Bull, a Pikuni, Blackfoot Indian cast out from his tribe for breaking the hunting rules and forced to wander the wilderness in search of redemption, retells his remarkable story to James Willard Schultz and uncovers the harsh life that faced him and his family during their time in the wilderness.

Sit quietly and ask yourself who you are, where you are, and what you are. Your answers will reveal your state of consciousness: your body of belief. Paul said, "We do not look to the outer things, but to the things unseen, for the outer things are transient, but the unseen things are eternal." Your beliefs, seen by the mystic, are personified. They form a state, which completely controls your behavior. Any modification within your body of belief will result in a change in your outer world.

This subject is a mystery to be known only by revelation. It is a secret that has been kept hidden from the beginning of time. Where there is no mystery, where there is no end from the beginning, there is no challenge, no place for imagination, or any room for faith or hope. But when it pleased God, in the fullness of time, to make it known to his apostles, those whom he called and incorporated into his own risen body, they are sent to tell the story of the gospel of God.

Every natural effect has a spiritual cause and not a natural one. A natural cause only seems to exist. It is a delusion of the perishing vegetable memory. We do not remember these moments in time when we imagined certain states. When that imaginal state takes form we can see it with the outer eye; we do not recognize our own harvest and deny that we had anything to do with these natural effects that are taking place in our world.

"TOWARD the close of a warm spring day on April, 1867, luminous spots appeared both on the north and on the south of the setting sun. I noticed them as I returned to our lodge, after watering Is-spai-u and picketing him upon a patch of new sprouting buffalo grass close in front of camp.

"Mantrams" and "Aum" are two related essays by William Q. Judge. Mantrams, in short, are the verbalized form of a mantra, and Judge explains their use in his sometimes-familiar Q&A style of writing between the student and the sage. His piece on aum is written in a straightforward manner and examines this often-utilized vowel sound, also known as om, which is a sacred syllable of the Vedas and is used in meditation.
