Who are the ancient astronauts? Why did they first come to Earth?
Why are they returning now? What part did they play in building the
great monuments of antiquity? What part did they play in the
formation of present and earlier civilizations? With what other
beings do we share our universe? And where does the Earth fit into
the cosmic scheme of things? Almost twenty years of experimental
work with telepathy led to the "breakthrough" contact recorded in
this book. The Ra Material is an account not only of the events
leading up to this contact, but of over 200 pages of verbatim
transcripts of each and every conversation!
Telepathy, thought transference, unconscious communication. While
some important early psychological theorists such as William James,
Frederic W. H. Myers and Sigmund Freud all agreed that the
phenomenon exists, their theoretical approaches to it were very
different. James's and Myers's interpretations of and experimental
investigations into telepathy or thought transference were an
inextricable part of their psychical researches. Freud's insistence
on the reality of thought transference had nothing to do with
psychical research or paranormal phenomena, which he largely
repudiated. Thought transference for Freud was located in a theory
of the unconscious that was radically different from the subliminal
mind embraced by James and Myers. Today thought transference is
most commonly described as unconscious communication but was
largely ignored by subsequent generations of psychoanalysts until
most recently. Nonetheless, the recognition of unconscious
communication has persisted as a subterranean, quasi-spiritual
presence in psychoanalysis to this day. As psychoanalysis becomes
more interested in unconscious communication and develops theories
of loosely boundaried subjectivities that open up to transcendent
dimensions of reality, it begins to assume the features of a
religious psychology. Thus, a fuller understanding of how
unconscious communication resonates with mystical overtones may be
more deeply clarified, articulated and elaborated in contemporary
psychoanalysis in an explicit dialogue with psychoanalytically
literate scholars of religion. In Legacies of the Occult Marsha
Aileen Hewitt argues that some of the leading theorists of
unconscious communication represent a 'mystical turn' that is
infused with both a spirituality and a revitalized interest in
paranormal experience that is far closer to James and Myers than to
Freud.
Betty Shine is a remarkable woman. Her extraordinary gifts - a
clairvoyant ability to diagnose medically, her healing powers and
her discovery of 'mind energy' - have made her one of Britain's
foremost healers. Mind to Mind tells her story. Like Betty herself,
it is cheerful, down-to-earth and full of humour. It reveals how
she became aware of her gifts and how she has used her experiences
of mind energy to help others. Illustrated with a wide variety of
examples and case histories, this is a uniquely helpful and
practical book by a woman whose powers have been a comfort and an
inspiration to countless numbers of people.
