What if you got the opportunity to study as the sole student under the greatest mind alive? That’s what Genevieve Behrend did, persuading Thomas Troward (Edinburgh Lectures) to take her on – using solely the power of the Law of Attraction. In this excerpt from her book, Invisible Power, Behrend tells us how that power worked for her to change her life (attracting $20,000 so she could travel to Troward and support herself while a student) – and actually continues to work for you to get you whatever you want in life…
Mudras in the various traditions. The Spiritual Path. Salvation does not come from without, it comes from within. The savior of humanity lies within our own hearts.

A few weeks had gone by since my return from the land of mysteries. To me, this ancient place always conjured up visions of fiercely armed warriors charging across the plains to do battle with opposing armies. It is interesting to observe how some of the most awesome experiences of one’s life could quickly fade into vague memories.
