A New Concept of the Universe

Walter Russell

*Walter Russell's* *A New Concept of the Universe* offers a revolutionary perspective on the nature of reality, blending science, philosophy, and metaphysics to present a unified model of the cosmos. In this groundbreaking work, Russell challenges conventional scientific theories about atomic structure, energy, and matter, proposing instead a dynamic, rhythmic universe governed by principles of balance and unity. He emphasizes the interconnectedness of all things, where opposites such as light and darkness, motion and stillness, continually interplay to sustain the cosmic order. Russell's work seeks to bridge the gap between science and spirituality, offering readers a profound understanding of the universe's underlying intelligence and the role of consciousness in shaping reality. Through this book, he invites readers to reconsider humanity's place in the cosmos and embrace a more holistic vision of existence.

The Mystery of Christ the Bible...

Neville Goddard, ALIO Publishing...

12 lectures. 12 wisdoms. 12 revelations. Welcome to the great unveiling of the Mystery of Christ, courtesy of one of the 20th century's greatest New Thought teachers, Neville Goddard.
"It’s all about you, because it’s all about God, and you are God asleep."
Neville is well known as one of the most influential teachers of the Law of Assumption (where one assumes the thing desired in order to bring it about in reality), a predecessor to the Law of Attraction. What's not-so well known, is his status as a metaphysical teacher of biblical principles & scripture.
Goddard frequently hosted community gatherings where he shared his knowledge of The Holy Bible, The Word, God, and Jesus Christ. Sometimes controversial, and always impactful, Neville pulled no punches in his candid messages with the intention to inspire every woman and man to seek their own self-liberation, and find Christ from within.
"Everyone has the same power. Because one has millions does not make him any more a creator than you are."
With this collection of teachings, rarely has so much wisdom been rendered this raw and accessible. As one of our greatest modern teachers concerning matters of God, self, and spirituality, Neville reigns as a shining pioneer of manifestation, LOA, and law of assumption. His words have been preserved here, for the deep benefit of all who will receive them.
Neville Goddard lectures in this volume:
Good Friday
The Crucifixion
The Bread & the Wine
The Mystery Called Christ
Who is the Real Messiah?
The Only Christianity

In the Black - Changing the...

T. Dallas Smith

With In the Black, T. Dallas Smith identifies the centrality of honest and open relationships to success within the world of high-dollar commercial real estate deals. His advice to “build relationships before you need them” is complemented by personal stories highlighting the importance of identifying one’s advocates. Smith is keen to recognize the people — some of them sense-making and some of them unexpected — who helped lift him up in a field the primary practice of which has been to reject diversity among its practitioners. Smith shows how making one’s way in an industry that has historically rejected Black men and women may be challenging but is in no way impossible. His own story is proof that one can both be a trailblazer and use one’s hard-won position to open doors for others.
