The Edinburgh and Dore Lectures by Thomas Troward
The Edinburgh and Dore Lectures on Mental Science
by Thomas Troward
The lectures in this book were one of the earliest (1904-1909) explanations of how our minds control our lives. Unlike many of todays books on positive thinking -- which focus on material success -- this is a deeply spiritual book.The philosopher William James characterized Troward's Edinburgh Lectures on Mental Science as "far and away the ablest statement of philosophy I have met, beautiful in its sustained clearness of thought and style, a classic statement." It must be remembered in reading Troward that he was a product of his time. His books use scientific jargon that was present around 1900. He was raised in the Church of England and had read the Bible daily from boyhood.
Thomas Troward will be remembered as a pioneer of the New Thought movement from his contribution of a few small volumes that have had a profound effect on the understanding and development of spiritual metaphysics. His philosophy played a major role in the work of prominent New Thought teachers such as Emmet Fox and Ernest Holmes.

They were written or given in lectures throughout the 1890's by Swami Vivekananda (1863-1902), a young Indian monk who came to America in 1893 to speak at the world's first Parliament of Religions in Chicago. With his glorious message of Oneness and universality, he became the uncontested star of the Parliament, single-handedly raising India to the level of spiritual teacher in the eyes and the hearts of the West. Vivekananda was the first and most fully realized Yoga master to ever bring the ancient spiritual wisdom and practices of India to the United States, and one hundred years after his death he is regarded by millions to be the greatest Yogi of the modern era. No seeker of truth should be without these invaluable teachings, for they are great treasures of illumination and guidance for living a truly spiritual life in the modern world.

PASSAGE MEDITATION was the book chosen to accompany the Center for Spiritual Living Santa Rosa theme for June 2009 - The four stages of spiritual growth -- Victim, Manifester, Channel, and Being -- and how to progress through each of them
What is passage meditation? It's the method developed by Eknath Easwaran in which you choose a spiritual text, or passage, that embodies your highest ideals, memorize it, and then send it deep into consciousness through slow, sustained attention.

- Universal and dogma-free, passage meditation fits within any religious paractice or nonreligious philosophy; it is used by conselors and yoga teachers, as well as health and education professionals.
- Eknath Easwaran taught passage meditation to thousands of people for over forty years, including a course at the University of California.
- Thoroughly tested, consistent and clear, the instructions in this book are all you need to start meditating.
- Passage meditation is part of an eight-point program that helps you stay calm and focused throughout the day.
