About this title

Synopsis

In Thinking and Destiny, something new although older than time is now made known to the world about consciousness. The information is largely about the makeup of the human, where man comes from, what becomes of him. It explains what thinking is, it tells how a thought is created and how thoughts are exteriorized into acts, objects and events and how they make his destiny. Destiny is thus shown to be self-determined by thinking and the process of re-existence and the after-death states are told in detail. A single reading of any one chapter of Thinking and Destiny brings rich rewards in new understanding of life's puzzling mysteries. To read the entire book is to come nearer to knowledge of one's destiny and how to shape it, than is possible through study of anything previously written in the English language. Both the casually curious glance at books and the most avid seeker for knowledge will be intrigued by the index, which lists more than 400 subjects in Thinking and Destiny and by the fifteen chapter headings in the Table of Contents, which identify the 156 sections. The Foreword contains the only pages in which Mr. Percival uses the first personal pronoun. Here he relates some of the amazing experiences through which he was able to grasp the knowledge he transmits and to acquire the ability to do so.
