The Psychology of Spirit 
by Mary Devlin

Author, student, practitioner and philosopher Mary Devlin has taken 20 years of study of psychology, mythology and religion and written a marvelous book. The Psychology of Spirit outlines a system for psychology that includes the effects of past lives.

Here is a mind-opener about the study of the soul itself and the magnificent voyage from soul-entry (the Absolute) to our paths back to God. In other words, an enlightened study of why we are the way we are based on where we came from (past lives), as a key to understanding. Do we enter the world as a blank slate? Or are our lives already affected by past experiences? Further, The Psychology of Spirit "...traces the physical influences beyond the material world rather than limiting its scope to the influences of society, parents, childhood experiences, and so on."

Ms. Devlin calls on the scientific theories and ideas of a host of distinguished pioneers—from Jung, Moody, Wilber and Weiss to the Great Masters—in her effort to bring us peace, understanding and power through the study of our stages of development. She writes, "…we must all do whatever we can to make our lives better, more peaceful, and more fulfilled…for what good is life on this beautiful planet if we are all too physically messed up to enjoy it?"

The Psychology of Spirit brings philosophy, science and experience and research with past-life regression together in its quest to create greater awareness. This reviewer was captivated by the wisdom and knowledge Mary Devlin shares with us ­ freedom we can all enjoy with this means to enlightenment!

Mystical Fascinations
By Charles A. Mills

Author, world traveler, poet and adventurer Charles A. Mills now offers a well-written, fast-paced novel that will have you turning pages in eager anticipation of the next. Mystical Fascinations is written on several levels and is about many subjects including love, history, evolution, mysticism, but mostly about synchronicity.

Protagonists Philip Wade and Ellen Ellsworth travel to Peru in search of Paititi, the lost city of the Incas high in the Andes Mountains, and the seat of hidden treasures of gold and silver that eluded the conquering Spaniards hundreds of years ago. So, on this level we find an adventure story set in the jungles and mountains, where mere survival from natural hardships is the goal.

But on another level we find a deeper sense of awareness of a mystical path, "The mystical path is about going inward to your source of power." We learn there are three simple steps; surrender of the ego to the forces of the universe, seeing the earth and all living things as sacred, and healing your self, others and the earth. Mr. Mills magnificently writes, "Everything you are against weakens you. Everything you are for empowers you."

Mystical Fascinations is filled with revelations of spirituality that fly off the pages like magical bullets, not to wound, but to awaken us to who we are, and who we were. "When you experience a sense of serenity and quality about your life...knowing your mind is what creates such a state...you know that from such a state of mind flows miracles."

The Incas have lived our lives already, and we can learn much from their 10,000 year civilization. And that is both the magic and synchronicity of Mystical Fascinations. Thank you Charles A. Mills for a superior book!
