Henry Ward Beecher (June 24, 1813 - March 8, 1887) was a Congregationalist clergyman, social reformer and speaker, known for his support of the abolition of slavery and his emphasis on God's love. In one of a series of lectures to honor his father, Lyman Beecher, he waxes rhapsodic about the pipe organ: “I look upon the history and development of the organ for Christian use as a sublime instance of the guiding hand of God’s providence”. Beecher describes the sound of the organ as a flood that brings power to the people, encircles and fills them and helps them to sing.

This book will show you the power of surrender through the present moment. This book is not adding knowledge to your mind, is it to show you the way to freedom beyond your thinking mind. Like any spiritual teacher, I have nothing to teach you in the traditional sense. When I say the human mind, I am referring to the ego. You must understand the mind and it’s habitual patterns first, and how it works before you can go beyond it; and you will learn that by listening to this book.

Further Collected Poems contains selected lyrics from 2001 to 2017, divided roughly by theme or subject. The poems are in and out of form, in many modes and voices, simple and complex, hopeful and tragic.

It is the thinking of the heart, and nature and the physical world, as well as music and tradition, can be helpful in following the path.
