Michael A. Thalbourne's "Glossary of Terms Used in Parapsychology" is a much-needed text for scholars studying parapsychology, or amateurs merely interested in finding the right definition for a paranormal word or term. Perhaps you've heard some unusual words or phrases on a television show like "Ghost Whisperer" or "Medium", or a movie like "The Gift" or "White Noise", and wondered what they meant. Now you can find out. Have you ever described someone as 'telekinetic' when you should have said 'telepathic'? Do you know someone who heard what they thought were paranormal voices, and thought it was 'clairvoyance' when, in fact, it was 'clairaudience'? Did you know that a 'Psychic Shuffle' is not a favourite dance of mediums, but a technique for paranormally sorting a deck of cards into a pre-determined order?

Thalbourne's "Glossary" is extremely useful when you need an exact meaning, but it is one of those texts that work well just browsing through for fun. It is a constant source of new material - even I found many unfamiliar terms like IPA ('Incorporeal Personal Agency') and PQ ('Psi Quotient'), and I have been a practicing parapsychologist for many years now! You'll find every parapsychological word and term and its definition that you are ever likely to need or use in this Glossary, and more, from 'Absent Healing' to 'Zener cards'. This text is a must for parapsychology students or anyone interested in the paranormal.

"The Good, the Bad, the Funny" is an entertaining and thought provoking look into the ways we use logic, and an attempt to change the way we think. While it deals with some rather abstract issues, authour Ramsey Dukes manages to write in a very clear and humourous style which makes for a very engaging read... I found myself thinking over the book throughout the day, while I waited to get back into reading it.

The main focus of the book is to examine the deeply ingrained duality (e.g. good/bad, God/devil) which affects most of our beliefs, attitudes and reactions, while proposing a fresher and newer way of thinking and acting. Duality is a very static realm for ideas to be caught in... always bouncing back and forth between good and bad, or lying static somewhere in the middle. Dukes proposes that we advance to a Trinitarian way of thinking, which allows for a flowing, flexible and fluid movement rather than a static binary. As a possible evolutionary path for our thoughts, the trinity is chosen instead of unity, because it permits the possibility for humans to continue generating new possibilities of expression, and maintain the dynamic creative force that is absent in unity. Try thinking about some singular concept, such as "a boundless, eternal universe"... perhaps your mind soon jumps to questions such as "when did it begin?" or "well, can anything really have no boundaries?" or "how do we have a concept of eternity, without a concept of limitation, and then how can something limitless contain the concept of limitations", or some other confused series of internal debate and questioning that takes a concept based on unity as a starting point. This, Dukes argues, is because unity is very boring for our minds. We are excited by the possibilities of dynamic change and generation.

If somebody asks you what the opposite of "God" is, what would be your reply? The aim of this book is to open your mind, to expand your way of thinking, so that you would be as likely to respond with "Trickster" as you would with "Devil". The quality of the Trickster (often a detached, neither good nor evil character) is used by Dukes to explore different ways we can broaden our way of thinking to evolve beyond a restrictive dualistic way of thinking. Examples of three-fold thought include "Creation, Maintenance, Destruction" and "Love, Hate, Indifference".

Dukes is predominantly a writer on occult philosophy, and a prime instigator in the development of Chaos Magic... so I was a bit surprised while reading this book, because it really seemed to come across more as a book about logic. However, in the last chunk of the book the direction took a very interesting turn and revealed itself as the most practical writing on magic that I have ever encountered by Ramsey Dukes. Amazing, but I won't go into details here. Additionally, the book is an excellent counterpart to both SSOTBME (because of it's exploration in cyclical patterns in thought and in culture) and WORDS MADE FLESH (which considers matter, energy, and information as models of reality... one of the best books I have ever encountered, ever).

Changing the way we think is an incredible task, and fortunately this book is so good that I will be happy to reread it several times, and take the effort to implement it into my way of thinking. This may take patience and effort, and may lead to long-lasting changes... if none of this is appealing, fortunately the book is an excellent read and provides page after page of amusement.

Max Stone's Philosophical text "Guardian of the Den" delves into, not only the "Nature of Duality", but many of life questions. And while he does not wholly provide the answers to these questions, he makes us ask ourselves the right questions. It is an excellent text for those going down the path of self discovers, or just someone interested in hearing a fascinating take on the themes presented in the Old Testament. Exploring ideas such as truth, individuality, curiosity, sin, forgiveness, time, space, duality and many more. You will be far wiser for reading this text.

I cannot recommend this book more highly, it's an easy to read, wonderful text, and I honestly could not put it down.

Loyd Auerbach, an undisputed authority on ghosts and hauntings, brings us the companion guide to his other book, "Ghost Hunting: How to Investigate the Paranormal." This new book, "Hauntings and Poltergeists," is also oriented towards beginners, but goes into more detail about the history of Parapsychology, what kind of research is being done in the field today, the differences between apparitions, hauntings, and poltergeists, tells a few real-life ghost stories from Loyd's own case files, and even talks a bit about psychic development. The reader should note that this is not simply a rehash of Loyd's older book, "ESP, Hauntings, and Poltergeists," but contains new material and is well illustrated with photographs and amusing cartoon drawings. Unfortunately, Loyd's bibliography was apparently left off by accident (it can be found on his website) and the index is off by 3 pages (add 3 to the number listed and you're set). Despite these small glitches, I highly recommend "Hauntings and Poltergeists" for anyone wanting a simple, easy, and surprisingly complete guide to the paranormal.

All of Tina and Nick's CD's are incredibe but this one is especially relaxing and perfect for escaping the rushed and hurried world we live in today.

This CD will take you on a journey that will leave feeling calm, content and refreshed. Highly recommended.

Heaven Can You Hear Me? Is a wonderful glimpse into the mind and methodology of Peter James unique way of looking at and dealing with the spirit world. This book is an important contribution to the field of parapsychology as it teaches us not to fear the spirit world but to treat the dead as they are, long lost friends. This book is a must read from the casual armchair reader to the seasoned paranormal investigator.

A book that takes one to inner places of the soul where one has never been.
The Hidden Light of Darkness holds the mirror that reveals to the self, the hidden light within. This is not a book to just read and put away on a shelf. It is a book that one can refer to again and again as a reminder that keeps one in the here and now, in the cosmic rhythm of perpetual bliss; and as a reinforcement to remain on course to the path that leads to enlightenment.
Feeling joy when one is expected to feel anger and pain, finding happiness and letting go of evil forces before they manifest in the psyche, are not simple acts if they are not already part of one's mundane chores. But, with mental and physical practice, unavoidable evil can be overwhelmed by the positive energy that fuels the hidden light of the master within.
We all have equal access to this cosmic force, this abundant source of omnipotent power that is revealed in The Hidden Light of Darkness.
