They permeate our souls, our thoughts, our feelings, and they co-create the world around us, yet we are often completely unaware of them. They, however, are eager to be perceived and acknowledged by us because their future and ours are fundamentally connected.Elementals act as carriers of the emotional level of the world, and Thomas Mayer reveals how he learned to develop and fine-tune his sense of perception to make direct personal contact with them. Providing insight into the elemental hierarchy, from the low workers to the masters and the elemental kings, he portrays Christ elemental beings, social elementals, and machine elementals as well. He also explores the adversarial forces like Lucifer and Ahriman that access the elemental world through the subconscious of humans and seek to destroy our elemental friends.Through sharing his encounters with fairies, dwarves, giants, and others, the author reveals their urgent call for help, an entreaty to anchor the elemental beings again in the awareness of humankind through recognition, acknowledgment, and conscious connection. Let us support the elementals in their crucial, life-giving work, through which they in turn support us in preserving the Earth we live on.

by Ken GireA Christian author’s inspiring biography of the Nobel Peace Prize–winning theologian and physician who built a hospital in French Equatorial Africa.As a young man, Albert Schweitzer seemed destined for greatness.

His legacy endures in the thriving African hospital community that began in a chicken coop, the millions who have drawn inspiration from his example, and the timeless wisdom and compassion of his writings. In this vividly narrated biography, Ken Gire sheds new light on Schweitzer’s faith-in-action ethic and his commitment to honor God by celebrating the sacredness of all life.

Antahkaran Ka Swaroop: अंतकरण का स्वरूप
by Dada Bhagwanअंत: करण के चार अंग हैं : मन, बुद्धि, चित्त और अहंकार| हरेक का कार्य अलग अलग है| एक समय में उनमे से एक ही कार्यन्विंत होता है| मन क्या है? मन ग्रंथिओं का बना हुआ है| पिछले जन्म में अज्ञानता से जिसमे राग द्वेष किये, उनके परमाणु खींचे और उनका संग्रह होकर ग्रंथि हो गयी| वह ग्रंथि इस जन्म में फूटती है तो उसे विचार कहा जाता है| विचार डिस्चार्ज मन है| विचार आता है उस समय अहंकार उसमे तन्मयाकार हो जाता है| यदि वह तन्मयाकार नहीं हुआ हो तो डिस्चार्ज होकर मन खाली हो जाता है| जिसके ज्यादा विचार उसकी मनोग्रंथि बड़ी होती है| अंत: करण का दूसरा अंग है, चित्त | चित्त का स्वभाव भटकना है| मन कभी नहीं भटकता| चित्त सुख खोजने के लिए भटकता रहता है| किन्तु वह सारे भौतिक सुख विनाशी होने की वजह से उसकी खोज का अंत ही नहीं आता| इसलिए वह भटकता रहता है| जब आत्मसुख मिलता है तभी उसके भटकन का अंत आता है| चित्त ज्ञान दर्शन का बना हुआ है| अशुद्ध ज्ञान+ दर्शन यानी अशुद्ध चित्त, संसारी चित्त और शुद्ध ज्ञान+ दर्शन यानी शुद्ध चित्त, यानी शुद्ध आत्मा| बुद्धि, आत्मा की इनडायरेक्ट लाइट है और प्रज्ञा डायरेक्ट लाइट है| बुद्धि हमेशा संसारी मुनाफा नुक्सान बताती है और प्रज्ञा हमेशा मोक्ष का ही रास्ता बताती है| इन्द्रियों के ऊपर मन, मन के ऊपर बुद्धि, बुद्धि के ऊपर अहंकार और इन सबके ऊपर आत्मा है| बुद्धि,वह मन और चित्त दोनों में से एक का सुनकर निर्णय करती है और अहंकार अँधा होने से बुद्धि के कहे अनुसार हस्ताक्षर कर देता है| उसके हस्ताक्षर होते ही वह कार्य बाह्यकरण में होता है| अहंकार करने वाला भोक्ता होता है, वह स्वयं कुछ नहीं करता, वह सिर्फ मानता है कि मैंने किया| और वह उसी समय कर्त्ता हो जाता है| फिर उसे भोक्ता होना ही होता है| संयोग करता हैं, मैं नहीं, यह ज्ञान होते ही अकर्ता होता है, फिर उसके कर्म चार्ज नहीं होते| अंत: करण की सारी क्रियाएँ मैकेनिकल हैं| इसमें आत्मा को कुछ करना नहीं होता| आत्मा तो सिर्फ ज्ञाता द्रष्टा और परमानंदी है| केवल ज्ञानीपुरुष ही अपने अंत: करण से अलग रहते हैं| आत्मा में ही रह कर उसका यथार्थ वर्णन कर सकते हैं| ज्ञानीपुरुष संपूज्य श्री दादाश्री ने अंत: करण का बहुत ही सुन्दर और स्पष्ट वर्णन किया है|
