I came across this name after glancing over a chapter in Dialogues With The Master, by Paul Twitchell (1970), called THE TRUE REALITY. It was after I spotted an excerpt from that chapter that read:

 "Soul never needs to make a striving effort in order to expand Its consciousness anywhere. Soul never needs to struggle to unfold all of Its wants. It has within Itself whatever is needed in the spiritual world."

I searched for that excerpt and found the following:

The soul never needs to make a striving effort, in order to expand its consciousness, anywhere.  
The soul never needs to struggle to unfold all of its wants.

I found that in "I Reveal", The Landon Epistles.

Something else I found in that book as well. References to 'soul travel'.

That was very interesting, I thought.

The date of Landon's Epistles is uncertain. I'm guessing first half of the 20th century, since Landon died in 1945.

Some biography excerpts ...

It has been often stated that no religious movement in history produced as many vital and great personalities in its first hundred years of growth as the Metaphysical Movement of America. Brown Landone was one of them, and many thousands have been helped by his instruction, his healing ministry and his radiant writings. His name will be remembered along with Mary Baker Eddy, Emma Curtis Hopkins, Annie Rix Militz, Nona L Brooks, Malinda Cramer, Prentice Mulford, Charles and Myrtle Filmore, Ralph Waldo Trine, Thomas Troward, Christian D. Larson, Emmet Fox, and Ernest Holmes.

Brown Landone was born before the days of the "Gold Rush," on March 6, 1847, and lived to see all of our Modern Day inventions come into fruition - including the atomic bomb! He was born on the High Seas, on an American ship, of British parents. He passed peaceably and in apparent good health, in Winter Park, Florida on October 10, 1945, age 98 years.

[...]

Dr. Landone had a most fruitful lifetime. In 1895 he organized the first boys' activities in the Y.M.C.A. ...

[...]

Brown Landone was one of the truly great and interesting characters and early leaders of the New Thought Movement. An active worker in the New Thought Alliance since its beginning, almost every international Congress program bears his name, and always he attracted huge audiences to his Congress lectures. Even though he was in his nineties Dr. Landone came to the INTA Congress in Louisville in 1944, and gave another of his vital messages imploring his listeners to make Divine Love the keynote of the Truth message for the post-war era. He served several terms on the Executive Board of the INTA, and also as District President for the States of New York, New Jersey and Florida. [... .]

Nice newsletter.

and a curious state of altered consciousness (?) in the WW1 story.

I liked this further down in another article:
"Truth teaches that I am not to try to change an appearance in my world, an appearance of illness or lack, by running about. Truth, works through the door of my conscious mind. I must mentally give up my problems. The outer changes only with a change in the inner conscious mind."


I think there are many examples of High Ideals in that document.

It's a pity so much comes down to picking a "brand name" to adopt instead.

Of note is the CAPITALISED text - PT liked that too, it was of his era.

Loads of PT writings came from Landone and others in the New Thought Movement.

What a fool to hide it, twist it, and deny it.

To still deny it and cover these matters up is just stupidity at it's worse imo.

But we do so love our brands don't we?

Christianity, Catholicism, orthodox, Judaism, Islam, sunni/shi'ia, Sufi, Rosicrucian, theosophy, spiritualism, Spirtism, New thought, Christian science, radha soami, Hinduism, Sikhism, Buddism, Zen, Taoism, Mormons, Jehovah Witnesses, Atheism, Doug Marmanism, ATOMists, Vardankarism, NUWAVEists, and our beloved Eckankarists.

What the world needs now is surely Henosisism led by a Living Sage of the Age!

Good link. I also found it yesterday, but refused to post it. Reason being I don't know there are many online links for this book and I didn't want to expose it to "sabotage" like so many other links posted here in the past that after they got posted suddenly went defunct, or got broken. Will see what happens with this one. Chances are, if no plagiarisms show up in this book, the link will likely be safe:)

Of course this is speculation, but when I go back and try to visit plagiarism source links here I find so many not working. This happens naturally over time, but I've seen it happen with several in a relatively short time.

Is this a working link?

http://webspace.webring.com/people/de/eckcult/chapters/tmsm5.html

It contains several word-for-word appropriations. My browser cannot access that site. The message says forbidden. So more and more I'm having to rely on the way back machine.
