Is What We See Real?

Gods in Exile

by J. J. Van Der Leeuw

1926

THE following pages are based on an awakening of Ego-consciousness which came to me some little time ago. It brought with it knowledge which, though it came in but a single moment, has taken many days to realize and many pages to describe.

I do not claim any credit for the teachings. I received them as we receive all things on the Path, and pass them on to others in the hope that they may help them as they have helped me.

Freedom Through Right Thinking

Strang, Lewis C[linton] (1869–1935), critic and author. Born in Westfield, Massachusetts, and educated at Boston University, he took work at the Boston Journal, where he eventually became its drama critic. Later he held a similar position on the Washington Times. At the turn of the century he churned out a spate of books that still hold interest for theatrical historians: Famous Actresses of the Day (1899 and 1902), Famous Actors of the Day (1899 and 1901), Prima Donnas and Soubrettes of Light Opera and Musical Comedy in America (1900), Celebrated Comedians of Light Opera and Musical Comedy in America (1901), and Players and Plays of the Last Quarter Century (1902).

Freedom Through Right Thinking - 1924.

One of the purposes of this book on the practice and potency of right thinking is to express and explain in a manner free from religious and sentimental emotionalism, and without any background of personal or organized authority, prepositions in connection with the whole subject of mental healing, which have been formulated after a broad experience in both practice and teaching.
