Cinema is ideally suited to the world of psychic phenomena. A technique as simple as a voice-over can simulate mental telepathy, while unusual lighting, set design, or creative digital manipulation can conjure clairvoyant visions, precognition, or even psychokinesis. This book analyzes the depiction of paranormal powers in film, examining how movies like Star Wars, Independence Day, The Green Mile, and dozens of others both reflect and influence the way modern society thinks about psychic abilities. The theme is explored in nearly 100 films from a variety of genres including drama, comedy, horror, science fiction, crime melodrama, and children's films, providing a concise review of the history and concepts of mainstream cinematic parapsychology.

This is the first book-length report of the thinking and studies of one of America’s foremost investigators of the psychic realm. Tart, an international authority on human consciousness, has studied such aspects of psi as telepathy, out-of-the-body experiences, and the human aura. Here he goes beyond the usual arguments for or against the existence of psi and instead discusses what we know about it and its implications for understanding our human and spiritual nature.

Am I a psychic? How can I develop my own psychic abilities? What is a clairvoyant? Are angels real? How do people see auras? The Psychic Realm is a handbook to help in answering these and other questions people may have about the paranormal. This book covers a wide range of topics such as reiki, spirit guides, soul mates, dreams and dream symbols, crystals, ghosts, how to contact angels, and contains a dictionary of terms used for quick reference.

This book is just like eating hard candy. You will want to savor it. This is the true story as told by a young boy, Jethro, who was born with the psychic gift of seeing auras and energies around people. His gift was secretly nurtured and developed by his Christian godmother and consecutive teachers who protected and taught him to live in the light in the constant battle between light and dark. The humor, suspense, and heartfelt emotion as Jethro accepts, rejects, and embraces his gift is a compelling story for believers and non-believers of the psychic realm. It is a book to enjoy slowly, savoring each and every lesson because it will awaken and nurture your own intuitive abilities and inspire you in your daily, moment to moment life choices.

This book takes a deeper look into the darker side of the human condition by examining the psyches of those who have been victims or survivors of heinous acts perpetrated by others. From the "personal Holocaust" of sexual abuse in the family, to the genocidal persecution during "the" Holocaust, and from the shared national horror of September 11 to the Palestinian/Israeli situation, a special model of the traumatized mind is evolved to further our understanding of such "dark matters". The traditional models of the mind fall short when dealing with extraordinary people under ordinary conditions as well as with ordinary people under extraordinary conditions. This metapsychology is organized around the defensive operations of repression or splitting. In the model proposed here, defensive altered states of consciousness, or dissociation seems more helpful. A historical perspective is offered, from Freud and Breuer, with their Studies on Hysteria, to current thinking about dissociative disorders. A developmental line of dissociation is also explored.

This is the true-life story through the eyes of eight-year-old Jethro, part Native American Indian, who is born with the psychic gift. He is forced to realize that not everyone sees and hears what he sees and hears when his gift becomes heightened after a near-death experience. It is humorous yet heartwarming as he attempts to reject the gift, then with the guidance and mentoring of his devout godmother learns to accept and embrace his potential to help others. The battle between the light and dark energies is eye-opening to both believers and non-believers of the psychic realm. The refreshing perspective of youth illuminates paradigms of traditional good vs. evil and clarifies common misconceptions of what it means to be psychic. It is written in an easy-to-read, unpretentious style yet addresses eternal life-concepts. The book is a must-read for anyone who has ever felt "different" and an inspiration to develop ones own intuitive senses.
