“Forbidden Powers: Why You Should Ignore the Taboo Against ESP & Psi” by Linda Bos and Alexander Voltaire

"Einstein believed in psychics. Newton was obsessed with the Bible. In fact, many of history's most brilliant minds were outright mystics with deeply held spiritual beliefs—yet today we are told only atheists can do "proper" science. In this groundbreaking work, the authors show how mainstream science has blinded itself to centuries of evidence proving the validity of telepathy and other paranormal activity—arguably the animating spark that gave rise to mystical traditions and religions worldwide. Drawing on scientific research and case studies in hypnosis, they argue that in order to fully understand what it means to be human, we need to recognize the incredible potential of ESP and other "forbidden powers."...>>

“A History of Witches and Sorcerers: The Transmission of the Magical Arts Through the Ages” by Arkon Daraul

"This fascinating book covers the lives and activities of famous and lesser known witches and sorcerers since 500 B.C.

“The Secret Tradition of the Soul” by Patrick Harpur

"In The Secret Tradition of the Soul, author Patrick Harpur argues that answers to life’s most difficult questions—the meaning of life, the nature of self, and the existence of an afterlife—can be met by a visionary tradition that runs through Western culture, from Greek philosophy and Renaissance alchemy to Romantic poetry and modern depth psychology. This hidden tradition, according to Harpur, places our soul at the center of the universe and emphasizes imagination, the collective unconscious, and an “otherworld” or afterlife; above all, it teaches us how to know ourselves and how to recover a sense of meaning largely lost today. Harpur shows how this tradition drives the literature of otherworld journeys, from the...>>
