the world—with commentary and interpretation on the traditional text by a contemporary academic and meditation practitioner.Taoist alchemical practices are renowned for their mental, physical, and spiritually transformative benefits—including longevity and increased connection to the world around us. In this guide to Master Huang Yuanji&’s Taoist classic, Ge Guolong presents the basics of inner alchemy and the tradition&’s most essential meditation practices—along with explanations of the fundamental theories and methods one needs to actually start walking the path.Historically, Taoist teachers borrowed complex terminology from astrology, numerology, and metallurgical alchemy to describe the process of individual transformation that occurs as a result of long-term meditation practice. Ge Guolong demystifies that classical terminology, illuminating Taoism&’s straightforward and eminently practical philosophy. These vivid explanations of Huang Yuanji&’s discourses—a Taoist master from the late-Ming, early-Qing Dynasty (1636–1912)—are particularly striking for their clarity, relevance to day-to-day life, and close relationship to the philosophy of such works as the Tao Te Ching and Chuang-tzu. Synthesizing numerous streams of Chinese philosophy and elucidating their lived practice, Taoist Inner Alchemy is as an excellent entry point to discover the riches of traditional Taoist thought and meditation.Untapped Magic: Manifestation Methods for Living a Limitless Life

Par Raymond Moody, Paul Perry. 2011
The author of Life After Life present a look at his life spent researching near-death experiences in this fascinating memoir.Paranormal…
begins with a harrowing account of Moody’s suicide attempt—due to an undiagnosed illness that led him into depression—and proceeds to explore his lifelong fascination with life beyond our bodies. Moody traces the roots of his obsession with the point of death and how, at age twenty-three, he launched the entirely new medical field of near-death studies. He went on to explore the world of past lives and possible reincarnation before stumbling into the fascinating realm of facilitated visions. Moody’s rural research center, Theater of the Mind, dramatically advances paranormal research by melding ancient and modern techniques to arouse many of the transformative elements of the near-death experience in people who are still living.After more than four decades of studying death and the possibility of an afterlife, Moody still sees endless promise in the fringes of psychological sciences, where he continues to seek answers to what happens to our souls after death.Praise for Paranormal“A lucid, engrossing memoir from a psychologist and philosopher dedicated to the afterlife. . . . The fascinating life story of an impassioned mystical maverick.” —Kirkus Reviews“Best known as the man who coined the phrase “near-death experience” . . .

An interesting addition to any library.” —Library Journal“Moody radically changed the way modern humans think about the afterlife. Paranormal is a thrilling and inspiring literary experience.” —Larry Dossey, MD, author of Healing Words and The Power of PremonitionsYour Crystal Plan: 75 crystals to unblock your path and achieve your purpose

covert operations in the world today.For the past thirty years, the United States government has secretly trained a select corps of military personnel in the art of “remote viewing” —the psychic ability to perceive the thoughts and experiences of others through the power of the human mind . . .Now, for the first time, Lyn Buchanan—a world-renowned expert on remote viewing and its potential—tells the complete, candid story of his experiences. Assigned for nearly a decade to a clandestine US Army intelligence group, Buchanan trained military personnel who utilized their inherent psychic abilities as a data-collection tool during the Iran hostage crisis, the Chernobyl disaster, and the Gulf War.In this incredible account, Buchanan tells how he was selected for his unique psychic abilities, and how he was transformed from an ordinary soldier into one of our nation’s leading psychic spies. Working on top-secret government and military projects using “mental espionage” created permanent, life-altering changes within Buchanan. Now, after many years of analysis and interpretation, he reveals the techniques and mental exercises used to train remote viewers, and demonstrates that each of us carries a dormant psychic ability that we can explore and use ourselves.“Whether it’s the new frontier or simply far-fetched, there is no doubt that remote viewing is a hot topic in the making.” —Booklist“True believers in search of government certification for their views will be greatly reassured by this odd and interesting book.” —Publishers WeeklyGhostly County Durham (Ghostly Ser.)

Par Paul Adams, Peter Underwood, Eddie Brazil. 2009
Borley Rectory in Essex, built in 1862, should have been an ordinary Victorian clergyman's house. However, just a year after…
its construction, unexplained footsteps were heard within the house, and from 1900 until it burned down in 1939 numerous paranormal phenomena, including phantom coaches and shattering windows, were observed. In 1929 the house was investigated by the Daily Mail and paranormal researcher Harry Price, and it was he who called it 'the most haunted house in England.' Price also took out a lease of the rectory from 1937 to 1938, recruiting forty-eight 'official observers' to monitor occurences. After his death in 1948, the water was muddied by claims that Price's findings were not genuine paranormal activity, and ever since there has been a debate over what really went on at Borley Rectory. Paul Adams, Eddie Brazil and Peter Underwood here present a comprehensive guide to the history of the house and the ghostly (or not) goings-on there.Haunted Barnsley (Haunted)

Par Chris French. 2024
An accessible and gratifying introduction to the world of paranormal beliefs and bizarre experiences.Ghostly encounters, alien abduction, reincarnation, talking to the…
dead, UFO sightings, inexplicable coincidences, out-of-body and near-death experiences. Are these legitimate phenomena? If not, then how should we go about understanding them? In this fascinating book, Chris French investigates paranormal claims to discover what lurks behind this &“weird shit.&” French provides authoritative evidence-based explanations for a wide range of superficially mysterious phenomena, and then goes further to draw out lessons with wider applications to many other aspects of modern society where critical thinking is urgently needed.Using academic, comprehensive, logical, and, at times, mathematical approaches, The Science of Weird Shit convincingly debunks ESP, communicating with the dead, and alien abduction claims, among other phenomena. All the while, however, French maintains that our belief in such phenomena is neither ridiculous nor trivial; if anything, such claims can tell us a great deal about the human mind if we pay them the attention they are due. Filled with light-bulb moments and a healthy dose of levity, The Science of Weird Shit is a clever, memorable, and gratifying read you won&’t soon forget.The Promise: Break Free from Limitation and Reclaim Your Inner Power
