The New Encyclopedia of the Occult – a book review

Nathaniel, December 15th, 2009 ,

Encyclopedia is probably the most useful book ever invented. It’s a general source of knowledge, very useful when you’re searching for ‘anchors‘ – references and short information about specific subject that would allow you to learn the general background of the term and point you to other, more detailed sources of info. The New Encyclopedia of the Occult by John Michael Greer is such encyclopedia for people interested in the occult.

The Ghosts of Lone Jack

Nathaniel, November 16th, 2009 ,

I’m not a big fan of paranormal fiction. Well, I’m not a big fan of fiction at all, getting my hands of the The Ghosts of Lone Jack, a novel by Lance Lee Noel therefore was a big challenge. After few weeks, I finally finished my reading, and I have to admit – it went well, maybe it took me too much time, but it went well. (more…)

Nathaniel, September 15th, 2009 ,

Are your thoughts really yours? What if they’re not? What if you found yourself under unseen influence of beings out of this world? Well, maybe it’s time for some self-defense?

Suddenly Psychic – a review

Nathaniel, August 5th, 2009 ,

One of the most interesting books in my library is Suddenly Psychic by Maureen Caudill. There are many books out there written by psychics always talking about spiritual love and “they don’t understand!“, and scientists shouting “it’s impossible and it’s faked“, but it’s hard to find a book written by a scientists who became a psychic herself. Suddenly Psychic is such book. (more…)

“Psychic Development for Beginners” – book review

Nathaniel, January 11th, 2009

Recently I’ve invested some dollars into Psychic Development for Beginners: An Easy Guide to Developing & Releasing Your Psychic Abilities (uff, that’s definitely a long title), a book by William W. Hewitt – a freelance writer and the author of eight books published by Llewellyn Publications. Definitelly it’s not a book for a scientific mind.

193 pages of text (+/-) is an interesting reading indeed, yet after only few pages a person taught by PsiPog will notice a lot of “fluff” in this book. It is because Hewitt is very often making referrences to spirituality and he is speaking about all this love and peace, like he would want to change the whole world with one book. Fortunately, reader can simple ignore spirituality and love from this book and follow interesting case studies from Hewitt’s own life, and 44 practical exercises for developing psychic abilities.

What is interesting that after so many years in psionics world I had to grab a book to understand the importance of altered states of consciousness in developing psychic skills. Describing different brain waves and altered states of consciousness is the first important topic in whole book. “Psychic Development for Beginners” is teaching how to access the “basic psychic level” in very simple and user-friendly way, and then how to use this level to make using psychic skills such as telepathy or psychic healing easier.

Book is also presenting an idea for “Psychic Goal Bowl“, a way to keep you focused on your life goals. Unfortunately, that is all I can say about Hewitt’s book – you won’t find any “miracle techniques” in it, you won’t learn about bending spoons, and except learning about altered states of consciousness and using basic psychic level to increase the “accuracy” of your skills, you won’t learn anything interesting.

Or at least a scientific mind won’t – if you’re deeply into this spiritual stuff, you might find this book very interesting, if your’re not, you can read it only learn about basic psychic level. And due to the fact book is easy to read, it might be also a pleasure reading for cold winter evenings.

You can get Psychic Development for Beginners on Amazon.com
