Walter Russell

This short book is adapted from a talk given by Walter Russell in 1946, and explains the story of his inner life, going back to the age of seven when he first had a blissful experience and realised that what he learned at school was of very little use. Consequently, he left at 10 and had no specialist training at all. This did not stop him becoming musician and composer, illustrator, painter, sculptor, author, architect, philosopher and scientist. His work is pure expression of genius with the supreme force working within him giving him knowing beyond thinking. The story of his miraculous healing recovery from bubonic plague is quite extraordinary as he applied the immediate knowledge of the healing principle on the spot to himself at a point when the undertaker had already arrived and he had been pronounced dead by three physicians. I have in the past recommended his books The Secret of Light and the short book about him by Glenn Clark called The Man Who Tapped the Secrets of the Universe. Here you have his story in his own words. It is sobering to be reminded, in view of the current world situation, that 'man's world is the sum total of man's thinking. It is what our world thinking makes it' - so in order to change the world, we literally need to change our thoughts, finding and expressing the divine within.
