Eliot as a complete liberal education in fifty volumes, the Harvard Classics gathers philosophy, science, literature, and history into a single indispensable library.

"All the error that has existed down the ages is founded on the theory or belief of two worlds, one the heavenly kingdom, or spiritual life, and the other a material world or mortal existence, each separate from the other. In spite of this sense of two worlds, men have always attempted to bring harmony into the discords of human existence through an attempt, by prayer, to contact this other world, or spiritual realm, and to bring Spirit, or God, to act upon the so-called material existence...

Joel Goldsmith was a Christian spiritual healer in the 20th century who repeatedly taught about the importance of prayer and meditation. Goldsmith explains that God is within us; we need merely try to make contact. If we believed that the "kingdom of God is within us," he says, "we should be willing to leave the world for a season, until such time as we could reach, touch, and respond to the Father within." This short pamphlet outlines Goldsmith's understanding of mediation and prayer.-Pri...

They can even enter an inanimate state to protect and preserve themselves in harsh conditions, then reanimate when their surroundings i...

The Kingdom of God is within you. As a matter of fact, you are the individualization of all that god is. "All that I have is thine." Of course, it is not a human being at all. It is divine being. But the world interprets the human scene as a human one, so that what is appearing to the world as a human...as you or as me...is now receiving from within the depth of its own being, the revelation of its true nature. And truth that is true is universal.

A country clergyman with a large family, a small fortune and an unshakable good opinion of himself loses the money in the first chapter, and things proceed downhill with perfect cheerfulness. Goldsmith failed at medicine, teaching and the church, wandered Europe playing the flute for meals, and — the story goes — sold this manuscript overnight to keep his landlady from having him arrested.
