Download or read book The Scientist and the Psychic written by Christian Smith and published by Random House Canada. This book was released on 2020-12-29 with total page 322 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Weaving together the story of his fractured relationship to his mother with research into her paranormal abilities, Dr. Christian Smith has created, in The Scientist and the Psychic, a captivating, one-of-a-kind memoir of belief, skepticism and familial love. Christian Smith realized his mother was different in the autumn of 1977 when he was eight years old. Before then, he'd witnessed séances at home and the kids at school sometimes teased him about his mom being a witch--so he sensed that his life wasn't typical. But it wasn't until he was backstage at a renowned concert venue in Toronto, watching from behind a curtain as Geraldine commanded an audience of 2,000 with her extrasensory readings, that he understood she was special. As Geraldine's only child, he would assume the role of the quiet observer while she guided a live CBC broadcast of a séance; made startling and consistently accurate predictions; and eventually moved to LA to work with the parents of murder victims--and with convicted murderer Jeffrey R. MacDonald. Over time, the high profile and emotionally depleting work affected Geraldine's health and relationships. Addiction took over her life, and her son pulled away. Fast forward to the present day: Christian is a molecular biologist and Geraldine is retired and in poor health. They are closer than they've ever been, and now he gives us the story of her undeniable perceptual abilities and pioneering work as a psychic--and endeavours to make scientific sense of it.

Download or read book The Origins of Psychic Phenomena written by Stan Gooch and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2007-02-07 with total page 235 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Examines unexplained phenomena in psychiatric and psychological terms rather than occult terms • Explores how the unconscious mind manifests paranormal phenomena • Shows how the cerebellum--the seat of the unconscious--is the source of these energies, subpersonalities, and manifestations • Identifies our neglected “Neanderthal” subconscious as responsible for the rising incidence of paranormal happenings Alien abduction, poltergeist attacks, incubi, succubi, split and multiple personalities, possessions, precognition, spontaneous combustion--the list of phenomena not just unexplained but ignored by mainstream science seems endless. Yet the key to the origin of all these manifestations lies deep within our own brains. In The Origins of Psychic Phenomena, Stan Gooch explores the functioning of the dream-producing part of the brain--the cerebellum--and how the unconscious mind is able to externalize itself. The cerebellum is the physical seat of the unconscious and was once equal to or even superior to the cerebrum as essential to our functioning. In modern times it has been shunted into the subliminal, yet the cerebellum continues to process our worldly experiences and reveals its concerns in misunderstood, often frightening, manifestations. Gooch explains that Neanderthal Man possessed a much larger cerebellum than Cro-Magnon Man and posits that the modern repression of the cerebellum’s role in our consciousness has given rise to these supernatural phenomena.
Download or read book Radio Psychics written by John Benedict Buescher and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2021-08-24 with total page 433 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When radio broadcasting began in the early 1920s, the radio was a magic box aglow with the future, drawing humanity into a new age. Some thought it would dissolve the distance between time and place, others that human minds would become transparent, one tuned to another. Performers claiming psychic powers turned radio broadcasting into a fabulous money machine. These "mentalists," born from vaudeville, circuses, sideshows, and the Spiritualist and New Thought movements of the mid-late 19th century, used the language of wireless technology to explain their ability to see the past, present, and future. Casting their mystical knowledge as a scientifically honed craft, these mentalists persuaded millions to pay for dubious advice until governmental and public pressures forced them off the air. This book is a history of over 25 performers who practiced their art behind studio microphones during the early years of radio broadcasting, from about 1920 to 1940. Here, laid out for the first time, is the tale of how they made cash rain from the heavens and harnessed the sensation of the radio in search of wealth, health, love, and success.

Download or read book How to Get a Good Reading from a Psychic Medium written by Carole Lynne and published by Weiser Books. This book was released on 2003-04-15 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How to Get a Good Reading from a Psychic Medium was born from Carole Lynne's desire to help her own potential clients, plus the thousands of people interested in contacting those who have gone to live in the world of spirit, know what to expect from a reading with a medium. For the grieving, the curious, the skeptical but desperate, Lynne offers straightforward, plain talk about what mediums can and can't do, and how to prepare to get the most out of an encounter with the world of spirit. Chapters on "The great and not such great reasons to see a medium," "Where to find a good medium," and "How long is a reading and what does it cost" explain the very practical elements of dealing with a spirit communicator. "This is not a scientific book," writes Lynne. "I'm not going to try to prove anything to you." But she does dispense invaluable advice about getting the most out of working with a medium. What questions should you ask? When should you listen? When should you talk? What can you do with the information you get? Answers to all these questions, and so many more. There is no other place where readers will find such useful advice about how to evaluate a reading and what to do with the evidence and advice they might receive. Unlike many, Lynne doesn't set herself up as a guru and advises against treating any reading from any medium that way. Her wise counsel: Trust yourself. You are the one who knows best what this reading means in your life.
Download or read book Seekers of the Soul written by Sherry Ward and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2009-02 with total page 234 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When doctors discovered a mass in Sherry Ward's kidney, they could not say whether it was malignant. Apprehensive about radical surgery and concerned by their uncertainty, she turned elsewhere. Armed with information from five psychics, she went against the medical odds. When the psychics proved correct, Ward's interest in psychic work intensified. Seekers of the Soul is the result of Ward's inquisitive journey into the world of psychics, visionaries, and intuitives who gain information using more than the traditional senses. Here Ward presents detailed profiles of seven individuals with exceptional abilities to sense and translate what to others is "not there." After interviewing numerous psychics, Ward chose the most principled, unique and skillful among them for Seekers of the Soul. Each person profiled uses his or her gifts to provide seekers with spiritual insight, emotional wisdom, or perhaps a connection to a loved-one who has crossed over. Although each psychic or intuitive divines his or her information differently, their clients benefit from the guidance, finding information relevant to their lives. For all who are intrigued by the extra-sensory realm and want to know how to take your soul to its highest potential, you'll find Ward's research and engaging profiles replete with insight and meaning.
