After completing a first reading of A Course in Miracles, the most
challenging read of her life, the author exclaimed, Never again!
Yet, she knew that if she were to make real progress with her
lifelong spiritual quest, she would need a thorough understanding
of the Course 's unique thought system. So, back to school she went
the school of life, that is. Though a seasoned seeker, never did
she anticipate the dark nights she would encounter along the
journey, nor the gift of grace that would pull her through. Readers
will delight in the same profound spiritual insight, candour,
humour and lively writing style as found in Making Peace with God.
This book is a wonderful companion for both new and seasoned
students of A Course in Miracles.
Get to know the world of auras, from the meaning of each color and
aural position to the techniques needed to see and interpret these
energy fields. From compatibility between colors to the proper way
to cleanse your aura, this magical primer enables you to explore
the body's projected energies and bring balance to your wellness
practice. Gain inspiration as you learn the crystals, essential
oils, and meditations that nurture and correspond to each aura in
the full-color, illustrated mini book.
"True skepticism has nothing to do with disbelief," says Susan
Blackmore. "It is about taking people's claims seriously and trying
to understand them." As a starry-eyed student, Blackmore was
convinced of the reality of astral planes, telepathy, and life
after death. She was determined to devote her life to
parapsychology, but what she found wasn't what she had bargained
for. None of her cleverly devised experiments revealed a hint of
the psi she was seeking. In a determined effort to find it somehow,
she tested young children in play groups, trained students in
imagery and altered states of consciousness, and even put Tarot
cards to the test. She visited haunted houses and was regressed to
a "past life." Finally, accused of being a "psi-inhibitory
experimenter" with the power of abolishing paranormal effects, she
visited other, more successful, experimenters. Here she found only
errors in their experiments.
In this new and updated edition of The Adventures of a
Parapsychologist, Blackmore is at last at liberty to explain just
what she found in those ill-fated experiments at Cambridge. She
brings her story up to date in a lively and personal account of one
scientist's never-ending search for the paranormal.
Meet Loraine Rees, a respected medium trusted by law enforcement to
help solve difficult cases. Coming from a long line of
clairvoyants, she has seen spirits ever since she was a child. Her
impressive abilities increased after her heart stopped during
surgery. Is there LIFE AFTER DEATH? Find out from someone who has
been there. Here she shares her gift to bring truth from beyond.

Do miracles really happen? What is the evidence for paranormal
phenomena that demonstrate divine power, and what alternative
explanations can be offered for such apparently miraculous
occurrences? How does the earnest inquirer assess the conflicting
evidence and reach a conclusion? These and related questions are
answered in this illuminating examination of miracle claims by
respected historical, paranormal, and forensic investigator Joe
Nickell. Not a critique of religion but rather a careful
examination of the evidence relating to specific claims of the
miraculous, Looking for a Miracle investigates a panoply of strange
events, powers, and objects that are at the center of the
controversy between so-called miraculists and confirmed skeptics.
Among the phenomena studied are "Miraculous Pictures", like the
Shroud of Turin, the Edessan Image, and the Image of Guadalupe;
seemingly "Magical Icons", such as weeping, bleeding, and otherwise
animated paintings and statues; "Mystical Relics", including
"burning handprints", the liquefying blood of St. Januarius, and
ostensibly "incorruptible" corpses of saints; "Pentecostal Powers",
such as speaking in tongues, the gift of prophecy, taking up
serpents, and other powers and immunities; "Faith Healing",
including the reported miracle cures at Lourdes and the practices
of evangelists, Christian Scientists, and "psychic surgeons";
"Ecstatic Visions", like the apparitions of the Virgin Mary at
Fatima and Medjugorje; and such "Sanctified Powers" as luminosity,
levitation, bilocation, stigmata, inedia (the going without food);
and the ability to produce objects out of thin air. Looking for a
Miracle is a wide-ranging investigative study of acontroversial
topic that has all too often been approached either with excessive
credulity or a dismissive attitude. Religious believers and
rationalist thinkers alike have much to learn from this revealing
examination of the evidence for the miraculous.
