ESP Books

I have read about 8 of Master Aivanhov's books. They are extraordinary. I've explored many traditions over the last 40 years, and Master Aivanhov expresses wisdom and understanding as a Christian who is learned in all the world's religions, east and west. He is clear and kind, and says clearly what he thinks about matters of the heart. His writing is refreshing and insightful. The New Earth is specifically about life-changing disciplines. This book, Mysteries of the Yesod, is about purity.

A true universal master and adept.The author reveals all of the genuine initiatic teachings long held in secret from the puiblic. Many people today are searching for spirituality but instead are lead astray. When one finds the teachings of this master all is clear once more,, Yes, his words are like a light that fills the reader with a New sense of joy and inspiration.

Very nice research, very well written. Funny, Honest, and Truth. I bought this book while I was in London for work. I didn't put it down since chapter one. Now I am buying a bunch for my friends and family to read for Christmas. Crystal Love - Great job and my spirit thanks you.

The book is easy to read and understand and provides very interesting information for those who are interested in wicca. The book itself is NOT about witchcraft or wicca, but I found it most useful background material, putting matters into a broader perspective. I liked the whole book, except for the last chapter, which is a step too far and not substanciated with facts or convincing arguments.

This is an easy to understand book, by over 30 leading international hypnotists. I recommend this book for anyone wanting gerneral information on a wide varity of subjects, like Light Touch, Spirituality and Hypnotism, Dreams and Hypnotism, Past Life Regression, NLP,
parts Hypnosis, ESP, Cancer, Subconscious Behavior Patterns, Massage, Guided Imagery, Past Lives, Age Regression, Entertainment, Controling Fear, Parenting, HypnoCoaching, Sports, Pain, Creativity, Sleep, Diabetes, and many many more. Best first book.

It's a treauretrove of information for the busy person who wants to obtain knowledge of this fascinating subject. The information is acuurate, prsented in fifty easy-to-understand chapters authored by fifty experts in the field. Some of the topics include: self-Hypnosis, weight control, medical/dential, hypno-Birthing, Forensic, Pediatric, Geriatrics, Smoking Cessation, Diabetes, Sleep, Creativity, Pain, Sports, Fear, Age Regression, Past Lives, Cancer, NLP, Dreams, and others.

The Original Tarot and You (first printed in 1971) was the first tarot guide to provide actual transcriptions of readings recorded by the author. By applying the use of these transcriptions, Richard Roberts delightfully shows just how to read tarot cards using an interactive method which allows the cards to be accessed directly with a type of free association. With the use of seven different spreads, Roberts gives an enlightening look into what can happen during a tarot consultation and opens the door of ancient theoretics and historical rediscoveries The Original Tarot and You is especially recommended to students of Metaphysical Studies in general, and the Tarot in particular.

I first read this book as a beginner back in the 70s, and it did not make a lot of sense, but it was very interesting. Since then I have read it a few more times, and it's just fantastic! The only type of books it can compare to are psychoanalysis case-study books. Because that's all it is, case-by-case Tarot card readings that Mr. Roberts does for clients, and then a BIG one for his friend Joseph Campbell!! If you have ever read any of Mr. Campbell's mythology, hero books, you will like this too. The Aquarian Tarot deck is used throughout for card-placement illustration. There are NO definitions of cards, very little history. This is not your normal Tarot book at all. And that's a good thing!

Fitzherbert has done all serious palmists and students of the history of palmistry a real service with this work. While Christopher Jones may not agree with his treatment of the history of the Chierology Society or his assessment of the value of Terrance Dukes' Wu Hsing methods, this is a very useful work in its history, and reviews of the palmistry literature, especially in the last century or two. I used it extensively as a resource for my own history in the Encyclopedia of Palmistry. Might no suggest some rewrites ib both books on the history of scientific hand analysis with some credits or more credits for the works of Evangelista Purkinje, Sir Francis Galton, Harris Hawthorne Wilder, Ines Whipple and Kristine Bonnevie prior to the work of Harold Cummins and Charles Midlo. This is not a how to read palms book. Ed Campbell

This work is a detailed review of the major developments in the history of handreading from the foremost expert in this particular field. The book contains reviews of hundreds of books on handreading together with a collection of short historical essays on Indian, Chinese, Arabic, Victorian and other traditions of palmistry. The essays on many of the colourful characters that have walked the handreading stage over the centuries, such as Cheiro, Heron-Allen and Katherine St Hill are excellent. He is absolutely right about the fraudulency of the so-called 'modern chinese' traditions of handreading which have nothing to do with the Chirological Society of St Hill, for example. Contains many rare photographs and some priceless comments on some very rare and obscure books and manuscripts on handreading. A very thorough piece of work that is an essential part of any serious handreader's collection. You won't learn how to read hands with this book, but you will learn a great deal about handreading.

At last here is a serious book about parapsychology. This book is written by researchers, mostly parapsychologists, who have spent years conducting experiments on the paranormal - i.e., extra-sensory perception, psychokinesis, and a chapter by Vernon Neppe and John Palmer on out-of-body experiences (OBEs) and near-death experiences (NDEs). Other than that chapter, there's not a lot of material on life after death because Storm and Thalbourne have a book especially on this topic coming out this year called "The Survival of Human Consciousness" which can also be ordered on Amazon. "Parapsychology in the Twenty-First Century" has 17 contributors, including a Foreword by Nobel-prize winning physicist Brian Josephson who happens to believe in the paranormal. He claims that it is not so much the parapsychological findings that inhibit the acceptance of parapsychology by a skeptical community as much as it is the emotional discomfort that sets in when they are faced with paranormal phenomena. But as Josephson says: "Science is not about being comfortable".



This is not an anecdotal account of paranormal experiences like most 'parapsychology' books. I don't think you can rely on books like that because they are full of opinion based on subjective experience, and there is no objective scientific evidence that those accounts are genuine; that they really happened in the way they are portrayed - not that those accounts are mistaken, but I think a serious reader who wants to get to the truth needs to access more reliable material than is presented in those "guess-what-happened-to-me" kind of books. "Parapsychology in the Twenty-First Century" is pure science, and don't let skeptical sources tell you otherwise. In my opinion there's to much cover-up and denial. The only way you're going to get at what's really happening in parapsychology is to avoid the popular 'spin-doctoring' by skeptical authors and go directly to the horse's mouth. That is because parapsychological experiments and research at universities and other research institutes are conducted with the highest integrity by well-educated and trained individuals, and Thalbourne and Storm's "Twenty-First Century" is about the work of those individuals. It is based on nearly a century of scientific investigation conducted in the professional manner that is expected of academics.



Thalbourne and Storm's book takes a look at what has been achieved in parapsychology in the last century, and perennial authors like William Braud, Stanley Krippner, Gerd Hovelmann, Fiona Steinkamp, and the late Robert Morris, all propose possible avenues of future research in the field. I do get the feeling with these kinds of books (i.e., prospective accounts) that they sometimes are touch-and-go because it can be hard-going trying to predict what lies ahead, but these authors a very competent and seem to know what they are talking about. However, there are younger researchers always coming along, paradigms do shift from time to time, and in most cases research can only be conducted if there is funding - something Dean Radin comments on in Chapter 1. I was appalled at the shenanigans that went on at Stanford University. Apparently, parapsychologists get treated like this quite often.



"Twenty-First Century" is divided into sections (experimental, theoretical, and sociological) so there's something for everyone. I thought the experimental chapters would be heavy going, but the editors have made sure that things don't get too demanding. Chapter 5, for example, has some deeper statistical analyses placed in an Appendix, so the reader can skip these few pages without missing the point of the chapter. I was surprised how easy it can be to test ESP at home - all you need is ping pong balls, an opaque bag, and a score sheet! However, there are more technical studies being conducted on, for example, altered states of consciousness using the autoganzfeld set-up, which uses a computer and specially written software. The autoganzfeld experiment gets its name from the German word 'ganzfeld', which means 'whole-field' because the hearing and vision of the participant are suppressed so that ESP can be encouraged.



The theoretical section includes a new theory by Michael Thalbourne called 'psychopraxia' that makes 'psi' (i.e., paranormal effects) look like magic until you realise that "necessary conditions" have to be set in place before psi can happen. Some of these conditions - like relaxation - are known to be psi-conducive (and even necessary at times), but ongoing experiments are being conducted to find more necessary conditions. A chapter by Christine Hardy considers the human mind to be made up of a field of words and thoughts (she calls it a "semantic field"), and psi takes place because this field interconnects all living things.



The final section looks at the cultural significance of ESP and PK. Paranormal phenomena is as old as our species, and exists in every culture. James McClenon presents an interesting chapter on the role that ESP and PK plays in our lives, and it seems that it gives our species a healing advantage whenever we experience extreme crisis. Lance Storm has a close look at skepticism, and he argues that skeptics should be pointing their critical fingers at conventional science, before they take pot-shots at parapsychologists. Robyn Wooffitt tells us that the talk that transpires during a psychic event is part of the psi process, and just as important as psi itself. Similarly, Pamela Rae Heath, in the final chapter, looks at how people talk about their paranormal experiences. This chapter is very intriguing and most important, not just because it offers new avenues of research for parapsychologists, but also because we get an understanding of what it feels like when something psychic happens. I found it very surprising to learn that psychic experiences may be taking place all the time - even in sports like golf and basketball.



I recommend "Parapsychology in the Twenty-First Century" to the curious reader interested in what is really happening in the world of parapsychology. The book is broad ranging so personal opinions and the constant repetition of a single author don't hamper you down. The book explores multiple viewpoints and a variety of approaches that make parapsychology an extremely interesting science. I am convinced myself that the future of parapsychology will grow and flourish, and one day - maybe soon - it will be accepted by the mainstream sciences. If you want to know where modern parapsychology is today, you can't go far wrong with "Parapsychology in the Twenty-First Century".

This book was compiled by Michael and I with a very clear purpose in mind - to combat the unsubstantiated accusations that are passed off as healthy skepticism against the psi hypothesis. What you probably don't know is that university studies show that believers in the paranormal tend to be above average in intelligence; they are strong-minded and think critically - a far cry from the much-touted accusation that believers are weak-minded and superstitious. What you also probably don't know is that university parapsychologists - yes, they exist! - are doctors and professors; they are respected by their peers (as long as their peers are not hard-line skeptics!); they follow the conventions of the scientific method, their experiments are scrutinised and approved by university ethics committees, and their research papers are peer-reviewed by experts before they are ever published. On the other hand, skeptics consider themselves to be fair-minded in their criticisms against psi, yet many still re-iterate so-called `normal' scientific explanations for psi that they know have been proven wrong for decades. They do not conduct their own laboratory experiments to test psi for themselves, but instead they knit-pick over fine details, preferring to avoid the bigger issue of the incontrovertible reality of psi. They have even been caught cheating in lab-tests of psi, when brought in to be tested for their self-proclaimed psychic ability, and then made claims before a naive public that they fooled the scientists! - anything to bring doubt and mistrust to a world-wide community of scientists who pursue their science with honesty, diligence, and good-intent. There is documented evidence for all these claims. But trust me on this - "Parapsychology in the Twenty-First Century" sets the record straight. It is cutting edge research into phenomena that will ultimately change the world's future for the good. Find out how - buy the book. Don't deny your own power to unearth the truth about parapsychology. Don't believe the distortions and unbridled rhetoric of skeptics and overly-opinionated reviewers. Accept our invitation and find out for yourselves.

There are many books on the shelves now a days...but there is not a book like this one. Pass it On...is without a doubt the most informative as well as enlightening and inspirational book that I have ever read. The first part is filled with fascinating information that explained to me and helped me understand the world of parapsychology. The second part is filled with wonderful stories that bring tears as well as laughter because of the powerful message the stories are sending. I started reading this book and I could not put it down, I read it cover to cover...I was actually upset when I was finished reading because I wanted more!!!! By reading this book I feel as though I have a better understanding of myself. It seems hard to believe that a book could be so inspirational and comforting, but the words of Karen A. Livingston did just that...her words are words that have changed me....and I know they will change others!!!! I cant even rate this book because it is off the charts. I will read this book over and over because of the wonderful message that it sends and then when I am finished...I will PASS IT ON!!! to spread the message to others!!

I have been studying the metaphysical world for a few years and continue to read books and venture on others opinions and experiences. I believe Ms. Livingston holds many morals that she tries to bring out in both parts of the book. I respect her for the fact she knows she has tuned her gift and will not use it to her advantage to rip other people off. Many "psychics/mediums" do charge a ridiculous amount of money at times. The true "psychics/mediums" are the ones that know the most important thing in a session is getting the message out to whomever is there. Also, in part two there are many different lessons that are foreshadowed. She shows that lifes lessons can be rough but you have to keep going. The most captivating stories I feel are the ones that are based on a true story. It shows the validations that have been met. I feel that anyone with even a remote curiosity in the metaphysical realm should read this book, or as Ms. Livingston calls a "handbook"...and maybe those who need to take a step back and remember as quickly as you have received your clairvoyance it can be taken away, utilize it to benefit the people who need that reassurance that we are not put here alone, we all have 'people' watching over us. I could only hope to find out if Ms. Livingston holds classes...SIGN ME UP

Traci explains so well the similarities between the Akashic Records and current scientific models. She talks about the morphic field and the quantum domain which permeates everything and explains beautifully how all life can appear as separate and yet it is all ONE - the new consciousness has arrived. It is easy to read and understand.
A very valuable book to help understand the new consciousness and the new times we are moving in to. She gives understanding to the formerly mystical and the new scientific models.
Thank you Traci.

If you like the movie "What The Bleep Do We Know?" you will love Traci L. Slatton's "Piercing Time & Space". She demystifies the mystical and helps to marry science with spirituality. Ms. Slatton brilliantly weaves the teachings of Edgar Cayce, Rupert Sheldrake and William Tiller with her own personal experiences creating a book that is informative, inspiring and extremely moving. Masterfully crafted, "Piercing Time & Space" reads fast, leaving one wanting more. And above all, she helps to answer baffling questions about life, why we are here and what our responsibilities are as human beings through quantum physics, morphic resonation, past lives and the power of intention.

This is a rationalist's enquiry into Poltergeists. The author investigated actual cases and came to the conclusion that it was caused by :" repressed hatreds.. buried frustrations, within the tortured pysche of someone near."

In this book Rogo looks into the characteristics of poltergeists phenomena. Rogo does believe that their are entities such as poltergeists, but says that they are a part of the human concious, but they start to develope after that. It acts as like a figurative ripple that once we start the ripple it spreads out and goes of it's own accord.

I liked this book because it shows a new more non-spiritual way of explaing poltergists, that they start in our minds, but start to manifest themselves after we let them loose and they go about they're intentions, and not the hokey 'unfinished buisness' theory that so many believe is true wether from movies, books, or whatever.

To sumerize what Rogo is saying is that a poltergeist is real and nonreal, it has features of both thoght and nonseintnet.that although they're not real they have some kind of purpose in the material world.

I agree with Rogo that poltergeists are possibly a part of our mind that can start happining once we get it rolling in our minds.

This book was well researched and well written. It conveyed its thesis in a very entertaining manner, with many anecdotes from the author's life. This book motivated me to better myself to allow coincidences to help guide the events in my life. However, while reading this book I realized that the editor missed many typos in his/her revisions. Other than that, the book was perfect. I can't wait for the sequel!

I thought this book was uniquely written, and included many personal stories from the author's own experiences that made this book an easy read, with a sceintific concept. It really makes you think about events in your life and their relationship.
