Allan Kardec's supreme handbook about the world of the spirits and the movement of Spiritism is a valuable and insightful guide to existences beyond our corporeal realm. Kardec begins this work by delving into the historical significance of spirits, their connection with God and the physical universe. How spirits are situated in the world, and how they move unseen between the planes of existence, is discussed. The second part concentrates on The Spirit World in greater detail. The types of spirits and how they are incarnated are detailed, with Kardec proposing that several distinct planes of existence are extant, and that most individuals proceed through life without knowing or seeing their influence. A chapter is devoted to how spirits might intervene in our everyday, corporeal world. Often these excursions have a purpose; the spirits are on a mission to inform someone, or change something, that harmony may be restored.

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
