So begins Jeffrey Mishlove's The PK Man, the true and strange story
of Ted Owens, whose claims of powerful psychokinetic abilities
given to him by "Space Intelligences" were too bizarre and extreme
for many to believe. When these claims were ignored or challenged,
he purportedly used his powers to produce earthquakes, civil
unrest, UFO sightings, strange weather events, and other powerful
phenomena. Owens even threatened to down aircraft to garner
attention.
Was there any truth to Owens' abilities, or was he a fraud with
a knack for picking the times and places of catastrophes? Jeffrey
Mishlove, PhD, a respected parapsychologist and host of the popular
public television program Thinking Allowed, analyzes
correspondence, interviews, newspaper reports, and remarkable life
of "the world's greatest psychic," as Owens claimed to be. Whether
Owens was a prodigious liar and dangerous con-man, or a true but
unbalanced master who used his incredible powers primarily for
petty acts of revenge, many questions remain, and the implications
for the rest of us are staggering.

In 1972, physicist Russell Targ co-founded the Stanford Research
Institutes programme to investigate the development of psychic
abilities. In his ten years with this programme, he came to
understand that most people have the ability to describe events and
locations that are blocked from ordinary perception. Here, Targ
explores the scientific as well as the spiritual implications of
remote viewing and offers detailed exercises to assist readers in
cultivating their own psychic abilities.
We are surrounded by color, and we largely take it for granted.
Each color, hue, tint, and shade has characteristics that affect
our physical, emotional, and spiritual lives. Learn how to use
color knowledge to enhance every aspect of your life, from health
to relationships. This book provides a full spectrum of information
from the practical to the spiritual. Find out how to decorate with
color to create specific moods. Learn how to dress for success and
interpret others' personalities by the colors they wear. Improve
your health by using colored lights and color-based meditations and
visualizations and eating foods of a certain color. The author
provides information on each color of the spectrum and discusses
color in relation to astrology, the chakras, the aura, and
divination. Exercises for healing with color are also provided.
Labyrinths of Love is an interdisciplinary examination of the self,
psyche, and soul, providing a comparative analysis from religious,
paranormal research and transpersonal theory perspectives. The book
addresses ontological questions regarding the nature of the self in
relationship to both psyche and soul, each differentiated to reveal
attributes that are transphysical and commonly recognized in most
religious traditions. The role of dreams, imagination, and
paranormal perceptions, as well, contribute to a more fully
realized sense of identity. A constructive use of pansentient
ontology illuminates how human identity can incorporate
transphysical aspects of self into a meaningful theory of
self-development and evolutionary becoming.The work creates a
unique synthesis that unfolds what it means to be human and
demonstrates a visionary epistemology of the self.

Since the early nineteenth century, mesmerists, mediums and
psychics have exhibited extraordinary phenomena. These have been
demonstrated, reported and disputed by every modern generation. We
continue to wonder why people believe in such things, while others
wonder why they are dismissed so easily. Extraordinary Beliefs
takes a historical approach to an ongoing psychological problem:
why do people believe in extraordinary phenomena? It considers the
phenomena that have been associated with mesmerism, spiritualism,
psychical research and parapsychology. By drawing upon conjuring
theory, frame analysis and discourse analysis, it examines how such
phenomena have been made convincing in demonstration and report,
and then disputed endlessly. It argues that we cannot understand
extraordinary beliefs unless we properly consider the events in
which people believe, and what people believe about them. And it
shows how, in constructing and maintaining particular beliefs about
particular phenomena, we have been in the business of constructing
ourselves.

It has been known throughout the ages that gemstones and
crystals possess energies that can be used to aid in a wide range
of activities. From healing to gathering knowledge, from mediation
to protections, stones and crystals have long been useful tools in
assisting practitioners of various spiritual arts in reaching their
potential.
In this informative, updated edition of a classic text, author
and gemstone properties expert Magda Palmer has completed the
mammoth task of matching gemstones and minerals to the celestial
bodies of our solar system, correlating astronomical facts with
gemmological research.. Her matches align with newly discovered,
scientifically recognized facts in astronomical and gemmological
research in order to give credence to accepted facts.
Each gemstone, rock, and crystal has a unique energy directly
linked to its chemical composition and internal structure, just as
the celestial bodies that influenced our time of birth emit cosmic
forces gained through their inherent state of being. With our
appropriate birthstones we can focus ourselves, enhance our
positive objectives, and travel our Tao taking the most
exhilarating paths.
Practical and grounded in a deep love of the subject, this guide
offers a valuable resource for practitioners of alternative
medicine using gemstones and minerals as a medium in healing.
"A powerful and positive book anchored in sound knowledge and
research. An enduring classic text it offers humanity valuable
insights for healing and vibrant well-being."

Although famous throughout Europe for his mind-reading skills,
Stuart C. Cumberland (1857-1922) was a staunch critic of the
'rascality' of some spiritualist practices and their practitioners.
He claimed that many of the seances and other events which he had
experienced were merely fraudulent money-making impostures. He
wrote several books on his life as a thought-reader, in which he
also revealed the techniques of fake mediums and psychics. (His
That Other World, of 1918, is also reissued in this series.) In
this 1888 work, Cumberland narrates his own history and career and
describes some of his most memorable seances. One of these took
place in the House of Commons, where Cumberland subjected none
other than the prime minister at the time, W. E. Gladstone, to
having his thoughts read. Their encounter made a great impression
on the author, who found Gladstone one of his most remarkable
subjects.
People contact mediums to help them through the grieving process.
In times of emptiness, sorrow and regret, mediums offer love and
reassurance, and the chance to reconnect with the energy of a
departed loved one. This book offers readers the tools and
techniques to be their own medium, in order to help them through
the grieving process. It also offers loving advice that will help
those who grieve let go of the departed and live a happy, healthy
life.
