Mind Synergy is about you. It is about how you lost your mind and
how with my help you're going to get it back. If you think I am
talking science fiction. Fine, but first ask yourself this; "Why do
I always doubt myself?" "Why am I stressed out?" "Why don't I have
the confidence to realise my goals?" And "Why oh why am I not happy
or at least happier?" Believe it or not your mind has the same
anatomy as Einstein or any other genius for that matter, the only
difference between you and them is that they found the way to use
their mind effectively and efficiently. Mind synergy shows you how
to silence the negative voices and how to get your mind to work in
sync with you and for you. What would your life be like if you
could use your mind to its full genius potential and you were
confident and happy? The answer is inside...
The untold account of the countless Americans who believe in, or
personally experience, paranormal phenomena such as ghosts,
Bigfoot, UFOs and psychics Given the popularity of television shows
such as Finding Bigfoot, Ghost Hunters, Supernatural, and American
Horror Story, there seems to be an insatiable public hunger for
mystical happenings. But who believes in the paranormal? Based on
extensive research and their own unique personal experiences,
Christopher Bader, Joseph Baker and Carson Mencken reveal that a
significant number of Americans hold these beliefs, and that for
better or worse, we undoubtedly live in a paranormal America.
Readers will join the authors as they participate in psychic and
palm readings, and have their auras photographed, join a Bigfoot
hunt, follow a group of celebrity ghost hunters as they investigate
claims of a haunted classroom, and visit a support group for alien
abductees. The second edition includes new and updated research
based on findings from the Baylor Religion survey regarding
America's relationship with the paranormal. Drawing on these
diverse and compelling sources of data, the book offers an engaging
account of the social, personal, and statistical stories of
American paranormal beliefs and experiences. It examines topics
such as the popularity of paranormal beliefs in the United States,
the ways in which these beliefs relate to each other, whether
paranormal beliefs will give rise to a new religion, and how
believers in the paranormal differ from "average" Americans.
Brimming with fascinating anecdotes and provocative new findings,
Paranormal America offers an entertaining yet authoritative
examination of a growing segment of American religious culture.
New Lands was the second nonfiction book of the author Charles
Fort, written in 1925. It deals primarily with astronomical
anomalies. Fort expands in this book on his theory about the
Super-Sargasso Sea - a place where earthly things supposedly
materialize in order to rain down on Earth - as well as developing
an idea that there are continents above the skies of Earth. As
evidence, he cites a number of anomalous phenomena, including
strange "mirages" of land masses, groups of people, and animals in
the skies. He also continues his attacks on scientific dogma,
citing a number of mysterious stars and planets that scientists
failed to account for.
