ESP Books

This CD is awesome. It relaxes you and promotes deep thought...Soon I expect some psychic phenomenon to take place, I can feel it.

I have just today received the CD from Sprudio. Over the course of its shipment they contacted me twice to ensure it had arrived promptly--so kudos on the customer support!! I cannot attest to its' intended purpose yet, however, the music is wonderful and deeply relaxing. That is saying something coming from an insomniac. I rested well without meds for the first time in a while. It was worth the price for that alone. I have nothing bad to say about this product thus far and do not forsee that I shall. Definately worth your time.

This CD really expands the awareness. I listen to this CD almost every night and have been for 6 months (one first part you hear music, on the last track you hear nothing.). Good stuff and hygly recommended.The CD come with a brochure and the quality of the CD is great. This worked for me.

This is one of the best books on synchronicity available today, even better than, dare I say, Carl Jung's book? In all seriousness, I think the author does a really fine job here; I especially liked the section "Life Imitates Art." Very well done!

Is there more to interpreting reality than just the perceptions of your five senses? Is there indeed a "cosmic trickster" who decides to send you signals with irregular patterns about your own life?
In this fascinating book it is a reevaluation of older principles (the ancient Greek belief about lower and higher destiny for one) connected with modern psychology (C.Jung primarily) that leads to a mesmerising study of the phenomenon of synchronicities: events that we today tend to describe as "incredible coincidences" or dejavues without actually realising that there could be a meaning, a "code", which can reveal to us either things about to happen or can function as warnings about the future, or even, "messages" about ourselves and what we can do to alter the "higher destiny" which is the part of fate we actually can manipulate.

In the hi-tech, fast paced and materialistic modern world all this may sound like another book for "weirdos", but it can't be dismissed as others in its genre exactly because synchronicities are something mostly everyone notices at one point of life or another, and the more aware you are about them the more apparent they become.
Being a natural sceptic the first time i picked up this book i abandoned it after only being 1/3 into it becuase i felt it wasn't compatible with my own personal system of beliefs and understanding. It was only after i started noticing some startling synchronicities myself that i read it (through this time) again , only to realise that there's way more to synchronicities than, well, meets not only the eye but any of our senses.
I tend to think that the "truth" (whatever that may be) is not only something one can "learn" but it's also something one can feel and i consider both processes equally important.

The author divides synchronicities into 17 categories and studies them providing in the process numerous truly incredible examples about them. At certain parts of the book it's the examples themselves that steal the show and you may find yourself recognising situations that are in one way or the other familiar to you but you hadn't paid attention when they happened. Attention is of primary importance as you will find out if you go ahead and read it. Frank Joseph attempts to find what most of us would call a "rational explanation" about synchronicities. He's never dogmatic (to his credit) about his own thoughts and his book reads like a conversation with the reader making it one definite "cantputdowner".
In the end what he proposes is essentialy that the reader examines this his/herself and explain it in his/her terms. It doesnt actually matter how one decides to explain synchronicities he muses, what matters is that there is a different dimension of reality present for everyone waiting to be explored, discovered and deciphered.
Put this book in your bag of valuable tools.

Frank Joseph and his work on synchronicity is powerful and insightful.
SYNCHRONICITY AND YOU is an absolutely wonderful book....
I highly recommend it to anyone interested in meaningful coincidences.

I always knew that my cats had psychic powers, so now I realize that others understand this also. My cat has sent me telepathic messages and don't you tell me otherwise. Plus, how else to explain the strange things ongoing not only here but anyplace where there are cats, and that seems to be everywhere. I found the scales to be humorous also - witty but "helpful". I know just the right presents to get for my cat-loving friends.

This is the funniest book I think I've ever read! My cat appreciates the fact that I now recognise her psychic abilities!

From auras to mind control, and even on the potty,this book shows that kitties are always in control, and in ways you might never suspect. Indispensable for the devoted cat owner.

I read this when it was first published and it has been a major influence in the way I look at the universe ever since. Dorothy's story of her unfolding awareness is wonderful. The "Kingdom of the Gods" book by Hodson and the Perelandra Garden books are also good and along similar lines, but this one is my favorite.

This is a very personal story about Dorothy's ordinary-turned-extraordinary life, as she expanded her consciousness in simple ways that anyone can do themselves, privately, not attempting to attract attention but seeking for her own personal fulfillment. The book is a real page-turner as it moves into Dorothy MacLean's spiritual adventures while she and the Caddys created the impossible-by-all-scientific-accounts garden at Findhorn, Scotland. It got to the point where I just couldn't put it down but did-- just so it wouldn't end! The messages she wrote down from the devas (her word for celestial beings that hold the blueprints for all of matter) are direct, simple and comforting -- but also haunting in their admonitions to mankind to work on an intuitive level with nature and have the courage to reduce the consumption and accompanying waste of our natural resources, which, as they very clearly communicated, creates a divide between man and the spiritual forces of the planet. As Albert Einstein said: "Any intelligent fool can make things bigger, more complex, and more violent. It takes a touch of genius -- and a lot of courage -- to move in the opposite direction."

Toward that end, I have found this book to be profoundly inspiring as I go about my not-very-extraordinary daily life, and I find myself thinking of Dorothy and the Caddys often as I seek the best possible solutions for my own daily problems. It has definitely expanded my own relationship with the world and my own infinitely smaller (but no less important) role on the planet.

I bought *To Hear the Angels Sing* in an earlier edition in 1982 and fell in love with it. Dorothy Maclean, a Canadian who became one of the founders of Findhorn, tells her story with wit and deep insight. As interesting as her life is, however, what fascinates me most is her ability to communicate with the devas, or "angels," or "pattern-holders" of plants and trees (the Hindu term, deva, wasn't as well known when she first wrote the book so she called them "angels" and has retained that term in later editions). Her book includes transcripts of her dialogues with an extraordinary range of powerful nature spirits -- some speak of their vision of life, others complain about a humanity that refuses to listen, still others plead eloquently for interspecies cooperation between their realms and ours. The words are profound and often deeply moving. (The story that has stayed with me the longest is on pp.93-94 where Maclean picks up a pebble on a Scottish beach and has an unexpected encounter with the mineral deva.)

Like all mystics, Maclean sees the Otherworlds through her own societal filters, which leads her to speak of a monotheistic male deity and sometimes to explain things in Christian terms (e.g., God's will, God's plan). Other than this minor quibble, the book is superb. Since reading it, I have never seen "reality" in the same way as before. I am not psychic but Maclean is so grounded and wise in her approach to such matters that I feel I can trust her insights. I may not be able to communicate with the devas myself, but that they are *there,* I no longer doubt. To a world as ecologically troubled, polluted, and out of balance as ours is, this book brings a vision of hope and offers a path of respect between the realms.

I am so grateful for the stories shared by all those wonderful people in the book Transitions of the Soul. A friend told me about the book, because I was having such a hard time getting over the sudden death of my boyfriend. I remember searching everwhere for support, words of wisdom, even from our Archbishop, I just came up empty handed and empty hearted until I read this book. I related to many of the stories and was even touched by those that I didn't. I cannot tell you how the fog has lifted and now I feel I can go on and enjoy the life that I still have. Thank you is not enough. I want to buy a copy for every broken heart I know.

Never dreamed I'd find my heartbreak in print. Didn't know how it could help anyone but I was compelled to write my story. It truly re-affirms we are all in this life together, my pain is your pain, my joy is your joy shared. You are never alone. LOL Claire

Angelic intervention changed Nick Bunick's life forever in 1995. Since then he's been devoted to spiritual and humanitarian activities, including writing about his experiences. His latest endeavor, Transitions of the Soul, is a collection of true stories from people who've had contact with deceased loved ones.

All the stories reinforce the idea that the soul does not die, but lives on in peace and happiness. Bunick says that "perhaps the most important discovery I have made is that there is no such thing as death. Death is only a transition of our spirits and souls from the confinement of our physical bodies into the spiritual world."

Those who offer comfort from the other side do so in different ways. To reflect this, Bunick has divided the book into five parts: Visitations; Angels; Sights, Smells, and Sounds; Dreams; and Extraordinary Personal Stories. Each part includes a collection of stories told by ordinary people in their words of how they learned the soul continues on after the body dies.

Bunick "brings us a cure of the grieving heart and a balm for the universal fear of dying." Transitions of the Soul will provide comfort and inspiration to all who read it.

Readers of this book should be prepared to study. Yeats knowledge of mysticism is deep. He was a member of the Order of the Golden Dawn and had experience in conjuring in the British Museums with Assyrian artifacts. This book is based on a form of astrology, but not of the modern day "what's your sign " superficiality. Again readers must be prepared to do additional study, in the Vedas, the Gita, and Buddhist classics (start with DT Suzuki). This book ranks with Freud for its magnitude . Yeats has not been given the credit he deserves.

Yeats's "A Vision" gives an esoteric and occult view of the nature of reality and is the product of years of collaboration between the poet, W. B. Yeats, and his wife, George, in automatic writing, followed by years of synthesis and research to work it into book form. The system presented here views everything as subject to a cycle of changes, "gyres", and the stages of the cycle are symbolised by the phases of the Moon. This cycle and its phases apply to human incarnations, the process of the soul's after-lives, and to the broad sweep of history. It is a difficult and coherent system, which has elements in common with other esoteric systems but is also different from them all.
The work exists in two versions: the 1925 version, "A Vision A", and the more final 1937 version, "A Vision B". Large blocks of the 1925 version remained unchanged in the 1937 one -- the descriptions of characters for each phase of the moon and the outline of history -- but the explanations of the processes and mechanisms involved were completely rewritten. If you are coming to "A Vision" for the first time, then you should probably go to the 1937 version first. Also, if your primary interest is the ideas, then the 1937 version is the more considered and mature treatment of the material. The 1925 version is, however, invaluable for students of Yeats, especially the later writings, since it represents a stage in his understanding of the material, which informs much of his poetry, as well as his plays and prose. Although it is generally less well organized than the 1937 version, some areas are dealt with more satisfactorily, including the relationship of human and Daimon. The fictional material, with which Yeats prefaces the exposition of the ideas, is also significantly different in the two versions.

The Kessinger reprint sometimes gives the date "1925" on the cover, but the actual text "A Vision B" (1937 version, corrected, 1962). This confusion is the result of taking the 1925 and 1937 versions as conventional first and second editions.

The following comments apply specifically to "A Critical Edition of 'A Vision' (1925)", edited by G. M. Harper and W. K. Hood, and will not apply to other editions. This edition is a facsimile of one of the 600 copies of this book which Yeats had printed privately in 1925, so it is not a Critical Edition in the normal sense. It does, however, include a very full introduction to the work and its genesis, as well as good notes. George Mills Harper has gone on to publish most of the preparatory material and automatic writing in "The Making of Yeats's 'Vision'" and "Yeats's Vision Papers", but the introduction here is still one of the best summaries of how the book came into being. The notes and index can be slightly thin at times, but are still very useful.

Note: the description of the contents given above by Amazon applies only to the 1937 version, "A Vision B" (normally 305 pp.). For "A Vision A" (xxiii + 256 pp) or the "Critical Edition of 'A Vision' (1925)" (L + xxiii + 256 + 108 pp), the contents should be:
[Editorial Introduction] A Vision: Dedication to Vestigia; Introduction by Owen Aherne; Book 1: What the Caliph Partly Learned; Book 2: What the Caliph Refused to Learn; Book 3: Dove or Swan; Book 4: The Gates of Pluto. [Notes; Bibliography; Index].

One of the most remarkable channeled documents of the past century is Nobel Prize-winning poet William Butler Yeats' A Vision. Yeats explains how he obtained A Vision as follows: "On the afternoon of October 24th, 1917, four days after my marriage, my wife surprised me by attempting automatic writing. What came in disjointed sentences, in almost illegible writing, was so exciting, sometimes so profound, that I persuaded her to give an hour or two day after day to the unknown writer, and after some half dozen such hours offered to spend what remained of life explaining and piecing together those scattered sentences." Yeats spent the next twenty years on this project, and in the end produced a masterpiece which contains an all-encompassing system of symbolism which has geometrical, astrological, psychological, metaphysical, and historical components - a model of the entire universe: "all thought, all history and the difference between man and man."

Yeats' theory of reincarnation as described in A Vision represents a novel view of the subject: that reincarnation does not take place within a matrix of linear time. It's not as if e.g. you had a life in ancient Greece and then you died; then you had a life in ancient Rome and then you died; then you had a life in the Middle Ages and then you died; etc. Rather, all of your past and future lives are going on at once, in an eternal Now moment. The linearity of time is an illusion, a falsehood, which Yeats termed Deception (and which Eastern philosophers term maya or samsara). It is this Deception, the false appearance that there is such a thing as an objective reality out there which is unfolding in linear time, which animates the striving of all sentient beings and keeps the wheel of reincarnation, of life and death and rebirth, turning.

The basic geometrical symbol in A Vision represents the unraveling of time as two interpenetrating, rotating, heliacal cones (which Yeats terms gyres): "Incarnations and judgment alike implied cones or gyres, one within the other, turning in opposite directions." In Yeats' symbolism one of the rotating gyres represents Concord, or unity; the other gyre represents Discord, or desire. "Without this continual Discord through Deception there would be no conscience, no activity; Deception is a technical term of my teachers and may be substituted for `desire'". What is being symbolized by the two gyres is the driving force behind reincarnation - the descent into matter (Discord) and the return to spirit (Concord). By "Deception" Yeats means striving. Striving is not striving after something; desire is not desire for something. Rather striving and desire are movements, motions, for their own sake. It isn't really the objects of their desire which sentient beings seek but rather the hunger, the state of desire itself. The objects of desire - thought forms, the phenomenal world - don't have any objective existence. This is what is meant by the statement that "reality is but a symbol"; and this is the Deception. Another way of saying this is that waking consciousness is but a more highly evolved form of dreaming, but it is no more real than dreaming. The belief that what we do when we are awake is somehow "real" - more real than what we do when we are dreaming - is what motivates all our striving and traps us in the revolving wheel of birth and death.

In Yeats' symbolism the cone or gyre of Discord (which he also terms the "Antithetical tincture") is our imaginative, striving side, which separates man from man. The cone of Concord (also termed the "Primary tincture") is our detached, intellectual side, which brings us back to the mass where we began. That is to say, we need sobriety and detachment to truly perceive the nature of the universe. "The antithetical tincture is emotional and aesthetic whereas the primary tincture is reasonable and moral. Within these cones move what are called the Four Faculties: Will and Mask, Creative Mind and Body of Fate."

The Four Faculties are actually four levels of human memory. It has been pointed out that all of our past and future lives are occurring at once in an eternal Now moment. By "all of our past and future lives" is meant the memories which go all the way back to the very first cell from which all life on earth is descended. All life on earth evolved from one single, primordial cell; and one way of looking at it is that all life on earth is therefore one single organism, which merely has different ramifications. Each of us individual sentient beings on this earth are like different fingers on the same hand. And each of us individuals has a body of memory that goes all the way back to the beginning: one-celled memory, multi-celled memory, animal memory, vertebrate memory, mammalian memory, and human memory. All of this memory presses upon and shapes the present moment. Memory is the weight of the universe on the shoulders of each individual sentient being - the record of every decision that's ever been made. Of course, some lines of memory are more important to a given individual than others; some have a more direct bearing upon a given moment or a given lifetime than others. But it must be borne in mind that the entirety is weighing upon each individual human, animal, plant, cell all the time. And each individual organism selects a piece of the whole to emphasize, and that piece is everything the organism considers this lifetime. This is what Yeats termed the Faculty of Will - the memories of this present lifetime.

"The stage-manager, or Daimon, offers his actor an inherited scenario, the Body of Fate, and a Mask or role as unlike as possible to his natural ego or Will, and leaves him to improvise through his Creative Mind the dialogue and details of the plot." Daimon is Yeats' term for the person in his or her totality, "the ultimate self of man", or the Oversoul which is the sum of all of the person's lives in different realities. The human part of this totality, or memory inventory, can be arbitrarily divided into four categories, and these are the Four Faculties (excluded from this analysis is the part of memory which is above the human level - i.e. primate memory and mammal memory and vertebrate memory etc. all the way back).

Will is the socially conditioned person, the robot which is wholly governed by routines and knee-jerk responses; which has given up personal feelings and choices to do what is expected by others and to submit to the daily grind. Will is the Daimon's level of approval and approbation, of reflection in the eyes of other people. The 28 lunar phase types refer specifically to Will: the socialized person, the one who has asked no questions but has bought into society's ready-made solutions willy-nilly. Will manifests through a conviction of rectitude; hence it is completely self-centered and self-important. Decisions made on the level of Will usually do not take into account other people's viewpoints, or much sense of responsibility for ultimate consequences.

Body of Fate is the sum total of this present lifetime together with all of its probable realities. Probable realities are parallel lifetimes which branch off from this one at each point where a decision, large or small, is made. We believe that all we are is Will - a linear personal history, a series of events which began at birth and led up to where we are right now; and from here we will have a linear future. And there is one "me" who has had this personal history and who is going to have this personal future. In fact, there are infinite number of "me's" who had an infinite number of probable pasts, and there are an infinite number of "me's" who will have an infinite number of possible futures. The probable reality level of memory is Body of Fate. In everyday life Body of Fate is the person's wistful longings, ideals, and romance; his or her daydreams and fantasies. Body of Fate refers to openness to new experience, willingness to take into consideration hunches and intuitive guidance - echoes from other probable realities - and also other people's points of view. When Body of Fate predominates over Will people are willing to take risks and to fly with their impulses.

Mask is the sum total of all of a person's past and future life memories in all realities, which includes all the probable realities in all of those lifetimes. Note that each Faculty subsumes the previous ones: Body of Fate includes Will (the sum total of one's probable realities includes this present life history), and Mask includes Body of Fate (the sum total of one's past and future lives includes all the probable reality branches in those lives). The memories of the Mask are what we access in past life regressions. In quotidian life Mask is the Daimon's sense of personal significance: whatever dreams, hopes, ambitions the person holds in his or her heart of hearts Where Body of Fate operates on a level of mind, Mask operates more on a level of feeling; where Body of Fate connects the person to other people in individual relationships, Mask connects the person to other people in group relationships. Mask is what you discover when you run a lot of past life regressions and come to know the feel of who "you" are in your totality; of what you keep coming back in human form to accomplish; the overall mood which informs the totality of your past and future lives.

Creative Mind is what some philosophers have termed Gestalt or Collective Unconscious - all the racial memories which we share as humans, our collective knowledge, upon which we can each draw by virtue of our being human (in Yeats' system we are not interested in superhuman memories - e.g. anima and animus, our female and male sides, which all animals share; nor e.g. mammal, vertebrae, animal, multi-cellular, uni-cellular memory - but rather only the thought forms proper to human beings). Creative Mind is the same thing as the voices of our ancestors, which many human cultures (but not ours - which is why our society is presently destroying our planet) have revered from time immemorial. In societies which "worship" ancestors what is really going on is that shamans, or even individuals, actively channel the voices of their ancestors in making major decisions. These societies use the voices of their ancestors like we use television or the internet. But the people in these societies are attuned to a deeper current of collective wisdom than we Americans are.

The point is that a person's moment-to-moment decisions in any lifetime are made on one or the other of these four levels. For most people, 99.99% of decisions are made on the basis of Will, or socially-conditioned actions and reactions. But every now and then everyone has poignant moments, moments of conscientiousness or conscience or consciousness, when they sense that probable realities are branching off this way or that; or they feel echoes from other lifetimes and realities; or they hear voices from deep inside them. At these poignant moments people feel connected to something deeper than their usual everyday routines and habits; and that something is their true purpose in this life.

When a person is acting in accord with his or her true purpose in this life - their reason for incarnating, then they are said to be in-phase; and when they are just acting on a level of Will in mindless, knee-jerk reactivity, they are said to be out-of-phase. Yeats' life is a good example of what it means to be out-of-phase and in-phase. For most of his adult life Yeats dabbled in occultism, always seeking something of profound significance, but never finding it. And for most of this same period he was hopelessly in love with selfish, deceptive woman who completely trashed him emotionally. After thirty years of this frustrated romanticism something deep inside Yeats decided to stop chasing the fantasy woman and marry someone truly worthy. And four days later his new wife began channeling A Vision. In other words it was Yeats' decision to act on a deeper level than his illusions and daydreams that turned him from out-of-phase to in-phase - from only wishing and hoping to actually accomplishing his true purpose in incarnating in this life.

Everything that has been described thus far occupies only the first thirty pages of A Vision. The bulk of the book is concerned with a very complex system of astrological and historical symbolism based upon the phases of the moon; this system will only be summarized here. There are twenty-eight lunar phases, which represent the monthly cycle of the moon, viz: Phase 1 begins with the new moon; Phase 8 begins with the first quarter moon; Phase 15 begins with the full moon; and Phase 22 begins with the last quarter moon. The four lunar quarters consist of seven phases each, and each quarter is under the dominion of one of the Four Faculties. The 28 phases tell a little story of the Daimon's descent from unity (the cone of Concord, or primary tincture) at Phase 1 into material manifestation (the cone of Discord, or antithetical tincture) at Phase 15; and its return journey back again to Phase 1. Indeed, the circular nature of the cycle is emphasized by repeating Phase 1 (birth and rebirth) again after Phase 28 (death). Everyone is ruled by one of these 28 phases, depending upon the angle between the moon and the sun in the person's natal horoscope. In a sense it can be said that a person's natal phase symbolizes their purpose for incarnating in this present life.

The final part of A Vision describes a system of world history which divides historical periods of two thousand years into 28 phases. "The Christian Era, like the two thousand years, let us say, that went before it, is an entire wheel, and each half of it an entire wheel, that each half when it comes to its 28th Phase reaches the 15th Phase or the 1st Phase of the entire era." In this system the art, philosophy, and spirit of historical periods are shown to follow the rhythmic cycle of 28 phases from primary to antithetical and back again. Here's an example: "The period from 1005 to 1180 is attributed in the diagram to the first two gyres of our millennium, and what interests me in this period, which corresponds to the Homeric period some two thousand years before, is the creation of the Arthurian Tales and Romanesque architecture. ... I do not see in Gothic architecture, which is a character of the next gyre, that of Phases 5, 6 and 7, as did the nineteenth-century historians, ever looking for the image of their own age, the creation of a new communal freedom, but a creation of authority, a suppression of that freedom though with its consent ..."

I was first introduced to this book by some friends in Scotland over 15 years ago and have wanted to find it and read it again ever since. An American friend recently loaned me a copy of another book by Helen Greaves, TESTIMONY OF LIGHT, and I loved it. Thanks to Amazon.com I now discover both the title, THE WHEEL OF ETERNITY, and the author, Helen Greaves, of the book I read and so much liked earlier.

Helen Greaves is an excellent writer and has the ability to convey spiritual truth in an attractive and compelling way. THE WHEEL OF ETERNITY demonstrates that what we sometimes refer to as 'ghosts' are merely those who have passed over to 'the other aside'. Above all, she demonstrates again that there is nothing to fear in death and that life is eternal. This is a must read for anyone who wants to understand spiritual truth.

Read it!

HUGH MAGEE

Helen Greaves is not only an extraordinarily clear telepath with those who have died, she writes with vivid descriptions about the harmful or healing impact of the characters' thoughts when they were alive. This book will inspire anyone to love more deeply, to lift and aid a wider group of people whenever possible.

Reading this little gem of a book, I realized certain attitudes that I too would have to face and correct when I am on the other side. I began to see beyond the surface feelings of past relationships and to write heart-filled letters asking for forgiveness to those whom I have pulled away from in the past--and felt justified. The hate-filled mistress, her lost servant, and the her son's transforming love will inspire you and possibly transform your life. I am ordering a dozen copies to send to my best friends!

So far I have read 4 of Helen Greaves books. The first was "Testimony of Light" Testimony of Light: An Extraordinary Message of Life after Death "The Dissolving Veil" and the last "The Wheel of Eternity" The Wheel of Eternity and lastly "Living Waters".

All three are excellent sources in expanding your vision of life after death.

"The Wheel of Eternity" teaches us that we are capable now of making life changing choices. That what we choose now will affect our life on the other side. Who you are today is who you will be in the next life.

By living a life of goodness and love now, one can overcome many obstacles when one gets to the other side.

Our journey on this earth prepares us for the next. By becoming more self giving and less selfish one learns the true meaning of the gospel of Jesus Christ. This is the way we were meant to become. It is our true nature.

Their are many insights that Helen Greaves records for us from the 3 souls that she encounters. There is much wisdom to help us better ourselves and prepare us for the journey through death to life in the Spirit.

Although in harmony with the yogic concepts of the chakra system, this book outlines a mainly Western approach. There is emphasis on enabling the reader to have direct experience of the chakras and of the energy flow in the body. For each energy center (which is what the chakras are) there is an inspiring case history from the author's healing practice, a discussion of the psychological impact and developmental age associated with it and of the relationship of that chakra to the physical body, advice for fragrances, colors and crystals useful in working with it, and a guided meditation. Each chapter closes with an affirmation relating to the issues surrounding that particular chakra. Interestingly, she includes chapters about newly emerging energy centers outside of the traditional seven chakras.

This book is a wonderful example of practical, down-to-earth spirituality. It is non-sectarian, although the author does freely refer to discarnate spirit guides. Her voice is authoritative and compassionate. She manages to synthesize energy medicine, psychology, aromatherapy, crystals, and self-actualization spirituality within a profoundly approachable, usable form. Highly recommended for beginning and experienced students of the human energy system alike.

This book is full of practical information which can be of real help to the healing practitioner. It has information which is detailed and clear. It is dense though, I had to concentrate and give it several goes. I use it as a reference book, and it has provided good advice and suggested new ways to look for answers to the problems people present in practice. It has a spiritual content which may put some off, but even so it is worth reading the book for the information and advice offered. How Ms White comes by her knowledge is incidental to the quality of the information, which is of real practical worth. Ros

Before I read this book, my chakras were TOTALLY screwy. Now it is SMOOTH SAILING. Using this book as a reference, I made a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet that aligned EACH of my chakras with its own UNIQUE crystal, aroma, and guided meditation. Then I ran a linear optimizer (using Tools>Goal Seek... in Excel) which was designed to MAXIMIZE my yogic harmonies whilst MINIMIZING my karmic/vedic interferences.

The results: AWESOME. I have achieved enlightment, and am capable of aura divination AND astral projection (levitation is still a bit tricky.) A worthwhile project, and it would have been impossible but for the advice in this book.

Experienced programmers wanting to do the same may want to use Microsoft Access.

Your Psychic Powers- a beginner's guide, by Craig Hamilton-Parker is a simple and easy to read introduction to Extra Sensory Perception. A great gift at a reasonable price. Also contains a useful guide to help you find a good psychic who you can consult. Fab stuff.

I enjoyed this book. Particularly the chapter about the Indian holy man Sai Baba. I'm looking forward to his nex book.

Easy to understand and a good price. Your Psychic Powers gave me a clear understanding of ESP and how to apply it to life. Would recommend also Craig Hamilton-Parker's book The Psychic Workbook (Vermilion Publishers)

The following review of Adventures in Kinship with All Life was published by The Book Reader, an "Independent Review of New Books:"

These essays by the gentle Boone are about the silent communication that exists, or can exist, between people and animals. Boone was an adept at interspecies communication, at "the science and art of right relations." He plunged right in to universal vibrations and discovered man's unitive experiences with all things living.
"When one's heartbeat is in tune and in time with the universal heartbeat, everything that he meets will want to cooperate with him and be his friend," wrote Boone.
The book includes many stories of folks and animals coming together, discovering each other. Of earth reverberations, of dogs and plants, of a man who lived in the jungle for over forty years. "He had mastered, to a superlative degree, the science and art of right relations."
Here are high level adventures in kinship, life, and love. "Love, then, is the supreme attractive force. Humans who possess this capacity to love their pets and other animals must have within them a sort of love-magnet, a particular magnetic pole of affection."
The publication of these adventures is a good and brave act by a woman who rescued the manuscript from the trash after Boone passed on. She is Bianca Leonardo, editor, and owner of Tree of Life Publications.
"ADVENTURES..." is the sequel to Boone's earlier book, "KINSHIP WITH ALL LIFE" (Harper & Row), which has sold 300,000 copies since it was first published in 1954. The sequel is nicely done. We wish it the same success.

If you've ever wondered what God put animals on this Earth for, reading this book will give you an immensely practical and satisfying answer. Animals are our teachers, says Boone. Great teachers, too. Intelligent, aware teachers. What have I to learn? you may ask. Reading this book will give you example after example in the form of fascinating true stories written with clarity and humor. A must read for the spiritually open or for anyone who loves animals.
