Psychic Studies
You are about to embark upon an exciting and most
exhilarating adventure, a course of study that could change your thiking
and perhaps even you life. In a very real way, it is like standing
on the threshold of tomorrow, about to enter a world beyond the five
physical senses; a new world of the mind...
As you begin your studies, remember that throughout
history, during every brief period of enlightenment, a few courageous
souls have advanced man's understanding of the paranormal. Some of
the free thinkers of their time were:
-
The Apostle, Paul - Read of his psychic
experiences in Acts, Chapter 9; Acts, Chapter 26; Acts 22:9; Acts
16:9; 2 Corinthians 12:1-4.
-
Joan of Arc (1412-1431) - She was clairvoyant,
clauraudient and precognitive. In communication with the world
of spirit, the advice she recieved was instrumental in providing the
impetus in her mission to deliver France.
-
George Fox (1624-1691) - This Quaker testified
to having had many psychic experiences. His psychic power during
public appearances is said to have (literally) shook the meeting
house.
-
Emanuel Swedenborg (1688-1772) - A Swedish
mystic, a learned genius in many fields. Sometimes referred to
as the first spiritualist.
-
John Wesley (1703-1791) - Founder of the
Methodist Church. John wrote about the poltergeist phenomena he
experienced.
-
Sir Arthur Conan Doyle (1858-1930) - The
celebrated author of Sherlock Holmes mysteries delved deeply into
Spiritualism.
-
Thomas Edison (1847-1931) - Had a keen interest
in survival and spirit communication.
-
Sigmund Freud (1856-1939) - Said, "If I
had my life to live over I should devote myself to psychical research
rather than psycho-analysis."
In our time, we are fortunate in having such a
comprehensive text on psychic and paranormal phenomena as Dr. Banks has
compiled in Psychic Studies. Any one of the adventurous souls
listed above would have devoured this manual ravenously. You're
going to enjoy it as well. Here, ay last, is a "head
start" program for the awakening spiritualist,
