Summary

In 'Light on the Path and Through the Gates of Gold', Mabel Collins offers a profound exploration of spiritual enlightenment through her poetic and philosophical prose. The work embodies a unique synthesis of Eastern and Western mystical traditions, reflecting the burgeoning interest in Theosophy during the late 19th century. Written in an evocative style that is both lyrical and didactic, the book serves as a guide to the inner journey, emphasizing the importance of personal experience and introspection. Collins artfully weaves together metaphysical teachings and practical wisdom, making her work accessible yet deeply resonant with universal themes of the soul's evolution. Mabel Collins, a prominent figure in the Theosophical movement, was significantly influenced by her own personal struggles and the larger cultural dialogues of her time. Her literary career was shaped by her desire to illuminate spiritual truths, stemming from her own transformative experiences and her collaborative ties with celebrated theosophists such as Helena Blavatsky. Collins' commitment to empowering readers on their spiritual quests through her writings reflects her broader vision of a transcendent unity among diverse belief systems. For readers seeking insight into the intricacies of spiritual awakening, Collins' 'Light on the Path and Through the Gates of Gold' is an indispensable companion. The book not only invites readers to reflect on their spiritual journeys but also provides poignant wisdom that transcends temporal boundaries.

    Sent blind soon after birth David Hume stubbornly refused to live the limited life well-meaning elders and social norms expected. 'I do not wake in the morning and regret I'm blind. No, I wake and look to another win in a busy life.' To date, that encompasses years in a blind institute, two marriages, grieving for two outstanding wives, founding recruiting firms, devising marketing techniques, facing business collapse, sailing ocean races and through much of it, being the lead singer in popular bands.

    Presence - The Strange Science...

    A psychologist’s journey to understand one of the most unusual experiences known to humankind: the universal, disturbing feeling that someone is there when we are alone 
     
    These experiences of sensing a “presence” when no one else is there have been given many names—the Third Man, guardian angels, shadow figures, “social” hallucinations—and they have inspired, unsettled, and confounded in equal measure. 
     
    While the contexts in which they occur are diverse, they are united by a distinct and uncanny feeling of visitation. But what does this feeling mean, and where does it come from? When and why do presences emerge? And how can we even begin to understand a phenomenon that can be transformative for those who  
    experience it, and yet so hard to put into words? 
     
    The answers to these questions lie in this tour de force, which takes readers through contemporary psychology, psychiatry, neuroscience, and philosophy.  
     
    Presence follows Ben Alderson-Day’s attempts—as a psychologist and a researcher—to understand how this experience is possible. What is a voice when it isn’t heard, and how otherwise do we know or feel that someone is in our presence? Is it a hallucination, a change in the working of the brain, or something else? 
     
    The journey to understand takes us to meet explorers, mediums, and robots, andallows us to step through real, imagined, and virtual worlds. Presence is the story of who we carry with us, at all times, as parts of ourselves.
