Amidst the soot, stink and splendour of Victorian London, a coterie of citizen-sociologists set out to break up the British Empire. They were the followers of the French philosopher Auguste Comte, a controversial figure who introduced the modern science of sociology and the republican Religion of Humanity. Moralising Space examines how from the 1850s Comte’s British followers practised this science and religion with the aim to create a global network of 500 utopian city-states. Curiously the British Positivists’ work has never been the focus of a full-length study on modern sociology and town planning. In this intellectual history, Matthew Wilson shows that through to the interwar period affiliates to the British Positivist Society – Richard Congreve, Frederic Harrison, Charles Booth, Patrick Geddes and Victor Branford – attempted to realise Comte’s vision. With scarcely used source material Wilson presents the Positivists as an organised resistance to imperialism, industrial exploitation, poverty and despondency. Much to the consternation of the church, state and landed aristocracy they organised urban interventions, led ad hoc sociological surveys and published programmes for realising idyllic city-communities. Effectively this book contributes to our understanding of how Positivism, as a utopian spatial design praxis, heavily influenced twentieth-century architecture and planning.

“For those for whom conservatism means something more than anti-liberalism . . . who wish to dive deep into the conservative tradition in search of pearls” (The American Conservative). Ours is an age full of desires but impoverished in its understanding of where those desires lead—an age that asserts mastery over the world but also claims to find the world as a whole absurd or unintelligible. In The Vision of the Soul, James Matthew Wilson seeks to conserve the great insights of the western tradition by giving us a new account of them responsive to modern discontents. The western- or Christian Platonist–tradition, he argues, tells us that man is an intellectual animal, born to pursue the good, to know the true, and to contemplate all things in beauty. By turns a study in fundamental ontology, aesthetics, and political philosophy, Wilson’s book invites its readers to a renewal of the West’s intellectual tradition. “Conservatism needs a new prophet. James Matthew Wilson is the man for the job, and The Vision of the Soul is his calling card . . . A new classic. For it we give thanks to God, and to Plato.” —Covenant “James Wilson’s important book returns to a conservatism in the tradition of Burke, Eliot, and Russell Kirk. . . . He wants us to focus on beauty and its place in Western culture. The book is a strong defense of that culture, but not an unthinking one.” —Crisis Magazine “A stirring and timely account and defense of the West’s traditional way of understanding the universe and our place in it.” —Matthew M. Robare, The Kirk Center

The mind aspect is in fact the perceiver of all that we are aware of. The mind is the mysterious aspect that gives us our personality. The mind is the abstract essence that we take for granted. Through this channel, we receive and distribute information and decide within seconds by a system called thought. Thought is the activation of neurons within the brain, which connect through a continued set of pathways. Through this process, thoughts become words to be expressed. Then words are produced in the mind to verbally express to our fellow men our wishes and conscious activities. There are different schools of thought, each having a constitution acquired over the years. Past experiences lay dormant in the subconscious brain, and the association of ideas are released sometimes when we think about a situation from the past, bringing into focus new concepts. We all have this ability to change our thoughts instantly. This we do automatically through certain processes within the neural pathways.

We now come to the many reasons we are here on this material plane of existence. What is the purpose behind this state of affairs? Why are we here? Some schools of thought suggest we are here, bringing into this life experiences from previous ones to add to our memories and lifestyle, making a better realization. These thoughts from the past enter into the subconscious mind, laying dormant till activated by some trigger mechanism, bringing a source of knowledge and wisdom. But this in reality doesnt give us the whole meaning to lifes meaning and its persistent enquiries to the purpose being on this earth plane. Some more thoughts on abstract phenomena.

In Loving Memory of Barbara Wilson Passed away 29/7/2013 This book is dedicated to her. It is a sad day in many respects, cut down like a flower in the fields, but will blossom again in new surroundings. God, our Father has taken one of his precious souls to blossom again. There are no words to express this sadness which is left behind us. Good night and God bless. From her loving husband Matthew and family

This book is about the possibility of organising society without the state, but, crucially, it makes the claim, contrary to much anarchist theory, that such a life would not entail absolute freedom; rather, as the title suggests, it would mean creating new forms of social organisation which, whilst offering more freedom than state-capitalism, would nonetheless still entail certain limits to freedom. In making this argument, a secondary point is made, which highlights the book’s originality; namely, that, whilst anarchism is defended by an increasing number of radicals, the reality of what an anarchist society might look like, and the problems that such a society might encounter, are rarely discussed or acknowledged, either in academic or activist writings.

There is a complex relationship between religiosity and secularism in the American experience. America is notable both for its strict institutional separation of church and state, and for the strong role that religion has played in its major social movements and ongoing political life. This book seeks to illuminate for readers the dynamics underlying this seeming paradox, and to examine how the various religious groups in America have approached and continue to approach the tensions between sacred and secular. This much-anticipated revision brings Corbett and Corbett’s classic text fully up to date. The second edition continues with a thorough discussion of historical origins of religion in political life, constitutional matters, public opinion, and the most relevant groups, all while taking theology seriously. Revisions include fully updating all the public opinion data, fuller incorporation of voting behavior among different religious and demographic groups, enhanced discussion of minority religions such as Mormonism and Islam, and new examples throughout.

Sci-fi fan or not, aliens hold a fascination for humans. The mystery of UFOs, the thought they may walk among us without us knowing, the thought they may be watching us all the time... these things ensure that we, as a race, are absorbed with thoughts of ‘aliens’, however they might show themselves. In giving Thirteen’s talented writers a theme like that, it was guaranteed that the stories which came in would cover every possible interpretation of the alien theme that you can imagine, and then some. Walk some strange pathways, read some strange stories, discover some strange aliens... Check out more Thirteen Press & Horrified Press titles here: horrifiedpress.wordpress.com

Travel should always be undertaken with care, forethought and careful planning. Ideally one should have a map to hand, or an experienced guide with knowledge of the terrain and the climate. The same goes for a voyage into the spiritual domain, and those who choose to travel beyond the material world will find in Matthew Wilson the ideal guide. This collection of inspirational passages gives an insight into the author''s own journey - from his early empathetic connection as a registered nurse through to his current career as an active medium - but also encourages the reader, step by step, on their own path. Drawing together poems, hard-won personal beliefs and the established practices of meditation and yoga, these passages offer comfort and rigour, inspiration and discipline. This is an essential companion on the most difficult journey one can make - into the limitless space within self.

The Seven Sense Matthew Wilson What do we know about the seven sense in this day and age in my experience suggests the mind is the ultimate correspondent between the past - present and future aspects in the known Paranormal activity my restless mind appears to have move into another level of enquiries, such as how can we see and hear that which is beyond the five physical Senses and today the six sense I am now concerned with the seven sense - When the physical mind becomes steady n the light nothing entering to upset the equilibrium becoming stabilized time stands still and through this process comes a perceptive awareness never before envisaged illuminating the mind with knowledge and wisdom in the natural world the above statement is called as imagination.

This book is about a short story that may look controversial at first, but after a few pages may make you think otherwise. Some of the things can and do happen in people''s lives, so therefore you can take it with a pinch of salt, on the other hand you may be able to identify with it, as many have had these experiences in their lives but at times too afraid to tell anyone in case they get laughed at. I have tried to make it sound reasonable at this point in time, so the readers can make their own mind up. It is a story that can happen and take place in someone''s life. So you can make your own mind up, as its validity. Take nothing for granted in this world of ours especially when you look around at what is happening in the world today with the bloodshed and unhappiness that surrounds us.

Is there such a place called the spiritual world? This mysterious plane of existence had eluded man from the beginning of known time. You would think, being in the twenty-first century, we would be more conversant regarding this phenomenon, but alas, this is not so. Who can give us an account and possibly give us some definite realization to its validity? First and foremost, it is suggested the spirit world is all around us here and now, lying adjacent to the material world, not some distant planet in the cosmos. In my books, I have tried to explain the fundamental principles involved in communicating with the afterlife. I believe that very shortly the spiritual world will become a natural sequence of events. At the moment, the only proof is through a medium acting as a mediator between the two worlds, relaying information from those who have passed on from their earthly duties. I just happen to be one of those mediums who can bring the two worlds together momentarily.

This is a continuation regarding the immortality of man from the spiritual realms, stories concerning the lives of people who lived before passing to the higher side of life. Everyone has a story to tell about the way their lives turned out. Memories are mostly events and entualities that took place in a period of time. Each person has a past that belongs to them as individuals. Everyone would have liked to express parts of their lives before passing over. This book is going to do just that--you could hear voices whispering words to their loved ones, if we could, for a moment, listen or hear what they have to say or what they want to do before being released from their earthly lives. But this appears to be beyond the human mind-- unless you are sensitive to receive information. You still may wonder, "Is it me or my imagination playing tricks on me?" The only proof at the moment is when a person consults a medium or clairvoyant who then becomes the mediator between the two spheres--physical and spiritual domains. So you can imagine the information there is roaming around in the ether and the thoughts waiting to be heard. I hope this book may enlighten the reader to search for the true meaning of life beyond the physical boundaries and come to some conclusion that we are immortal beings and that there is no death.
