This is my copy of the book

ADVENTURES IN THE SUPERNORMAL
A PERSONAL MEMOIR
BY
EILEEN GARRETT

This is a paperback, 1968 edition. First published 1949.
PUBLISHED BY PAPERBACK LIBRARY,INC.
NEW YORK

"unique, readable, entertaining, sincere, straightforward."
These are the adjectives critics have used to describe Eileen Garrett's Adventures in the Supernormal .

'From her Irish childhood, where her only friends were the two mysterious Children invisible to everyone else,throughout her adult life, Eileen Garrett has possessed the rare, disquieting gift of second sight.


Her struggles to come to terms with her strange faculties of clairvoyance precognition and trance-mediumship form the basis of this unusual autobiography of a woman whose life is devoted to the world of the occult.'

"All this is told simply and swiftly.  The result is an entertaining story...on clairvoyance, ghosts, poltergeists, the meaning of death and the color and form of life as it looks to one who sees beyond and through the spectrum."  -  The New York Times

Introduction  by Hugh Lynn Cayce, ( son of Edgar Cayce )

" Eileen Garrett's psychic capabilities unroll like a magic carpet - clairvoyant perception of auras and spirit forms (ghosts); prevision (precognition); retrocognition (perception of past events); experiences with hypnotic trance sessions of unusual duration and depth; spontaneous telepathy, as well as laboratory controlled experiments; psychokinetic manifestations (movement of objects); and healing in a variety of forms. Indeed, it is the tremendous range of Mrs. Garrett's abilities which almost overwhelms an observer. " Hugh Lynn Cayce

Krishnamurti, Jiddu. Commentaries On Living: Second Series From The Notebooks...

Hello Readers and welcome to my Spiritual book corner.  The next book I have for you is One of the writings of JIDDU KRISHNAMURTI....


Published 1959, Victor Gollanz, London.

A detailed biography of Krishnamurti can be found here:

Krishnamurti, 1895-1986, was a writer and speaker of Philosophical and spiritual subjects.utIn this book he expounds on various topics such as Creative Happiness,The Fear of Death,The Purpose of Life, Contentment, Envy and Loneliness, and much more.
He was born in India, and was taken under the wing of  theosophist Charles Webster Leadbeater, and Annie Besant of the Theosophical Society in Madras. They believed him to be a vehicle for the next World Teacher.  But he eventually left that organisation, and travelled the World as an independant, giving talks to groups and individuals.  He claimed no allegiance to any religion, caste, nationality or philosophy.
He died at his home in Ojai, California, in 1986.

This is a book comprised of short discourses on various topics, as the title suggests, about 'Living.' based on notes that the Author made during his travels and teaching. Lots of wisdom and guidance to be found between these pages.






Henry Drummond - Natural Law In The Spiritual World -

Good Morning book lovers and seekers of truth and wisdom.  Today I am showing you :

Natural Law 
In The 
Spiritual
World
by
Henry Drummond


The Author argues the case against separation of Science and Religion, asking if both should be linked together in the Laws of Nature.  'Is the Supernatural natural, or unnatural?'



A copy of this book can be downloaded for free on Amazon for Kindle.
 Not an easy book to read, but a classic in the evolution of the ideas concerning the origins of life, and the reconciliation of Science and Religion.

Through the mists or Leaves From The Autobiography Of A Soul In Paradise -Recorded For The Author By ROBERT JAMES LEES

Hello Readers, here we have another book from the  recesses of my old bookcase.  This is one that has not seen the light of day for some years.  I actually have two copies of this.  One which I purchased years ago from somewhere; a second hand bookshop. 

This copy was left to me by Violet, a dear friend who died some years ago. It is in a rather poor state, but is signed by Eva Lees, the daughter of Robert J Lees, who calls himself 'the recorder' of the book, rather than the Author.



This is a 1952 reprint of the book, which was first published by Eva Lees 1898, who lived at 'Rodona', 54, Fosse Road South, Leicester, England.  It was printed 'In Great Britain By Halsey Brothers & Rist LTD., London, E.C.1







I will continue this post later, but leave this with you for now.  

Best wishes, Sharon x
