Publisher's Synopsis
From earliest recorded history, people have claimed that under certain special conditions they were in direct contact with, and spoke on behalf of, beings who "inhabit a higher dimension of reality than our own". Over the years these once ordinary people have become known by various names - spirit communicators, mediums, channels, psychics, prophets and mystics.;Those who have claimed to have experienced this phenomenon, the nature of the messages communicated, the scientific theories that explain it and the techniques used to unfold latent capacities are all explored in this work. In addition to a look at cases, from the earliest recorded instances of religious revelation to centuries of underground activity, Jon Klimo views the principle modern channels who are bringing the messages to us and, utilizing personal interviews conducted for this book, he examines the current widespread popularity and acceptance of channels and mediums.;The book details the uniformity of the communications and their effect on both the "teachers" and those who come to listen and questions whether the messages are the results of psychological disturbance or telepathy, or do other-dimensional beings really exist. The author argues that each of us could possess the potential to be psychics, prophets and mystics.
