A team of international experts presents the history, recent
developments, and controversies in the intriguing study of
near-death experience. Experts from around the world share the
history and current state of near-death experience (NDE) knowledge.
They explore controversies in the field, offer stories from their
research, and express their hopes for the future of investigation
into this fascinating phenomenon. As modern medical techniques for
resuscitation advance, NDEs are more frequently reported. These
include more than the popular notions of moving through a tunnel or
seeing a light. They also include people, once revived, knowing
things their knowledge of which can't currently be explained. As
The Handbook of Near-Death Experiences: Thirty Years of
Investigation makes clear, great controversy exists in the medical
and psychological fields concerning NDEs. Are they caused by
physiological changes in the brain, or are they biological
reactions to oxygen loss or impending death? Are they a product of
changing states of consciousness? Or are they caused by something
else altogether? All of these ideas and more are discussed in this
unique and comprehensive volume.
If you've ever got involved in a Twitter spat, been targeted by a
nasty troll, or worried about walking home alone late at night,
this book will give you the energetic arsenal you need to align
yourself with positive outcomes and ward off negativity and danger.
Since time immemorial spiritual traditions have given us tools to
enhance personal protection. Here you will learn how to work with
charms, symbols, chakras and talismans and your own energy field to
empower yourself and create your own luck. Also included are
comforting rituals and ideas that ensure you deal with conflict and
anxiety appropriately, feel in control of your reactions and enjoy
the sense of personal power and protection that comes as a result.
Richard West didn't want to be psychic. He tried, over the years,
to ignore the voices that he heard, and the gentle prods that he
received from a higher place. He became accustomed to a certain
"knowing" about people and events before they happened, and used
this to good advantage in his life, first as a custom officer and
later as a successful businessman. In the end, Richard couldn't
avoid the persistent nudging and as his life unfurled, his
reticence became less and his inquisitiveness grew. "The Reluctant
Psychic. More Case Files " is a follow-on from the first book,
giving a more in-detail look at the scope of work that arrives at
his door, on a daily basis, as a healer, Dowser and ghost buster.
It is a varied, often unexpected mixture of science and the
esoteric disciplines, and covers subjects such as remote dowsing
and ghost busting at a distance, which will no doubt leave the
reader more than a little intrigued In addition to his work as a
practical healer, Dowser, and Geopathic Stress consultant, his
bulging case files are full of ghost stories, both funny and
poignant, that he has collected in the course of his work around
the world. This book contains more of these stories, explanations
and case studies, that give a glimpse into his special world, of
which you will want you to know more
All three books of Francis Barrett's superb compendium of occult
thought are presented in this single volume, complete with the
original charts and illustrations. Commencing with Magic, we are
offered a comprehensive accounts of its capabilities and the tools
needed for its use. Natural magic is defined, as are the many
philters and potions which may be created and imbued with its
essence. Various historical examples of magicians who had, for good
or ill, gained public notice for their practices are given. The
later chapters meanwhile concern the properties of magical stones
such as the legendary Philosophers Stone, and the arcane arts of
combining creatures of nature, and the sometimes monstrous results.
The Magus itself is termed the Celestial Intelligencer; beginning
with a basic account of the four elements, we traverse each in more
detail before delving into the more esoteric practices. The
symbolism of numbers and of the astronomical bodies of the heavens
are detailed, sometimes with charts.
