Psychic Development: A Complete Guide for Beginners for Developing Psychic Abilities, Finding Your Gift and Simplified Practical Meditation System for Your Sense of Self and Spirituality (Empath, Book 1) , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 263min
Have you ever had the privilege of interacting with some individuals you would only refer to as strange, owing to the superhuman abilities they appear to have? You must have heard of people with special abilities such as those of predicting the future, conversing with spirits, knowing hidden things no one would normally know, and the like. Or perhaps you are one of those people and you either knowingly or unknowingly have special powers that have not fully manifested in you for whatever reason it might be.Whether you believe psychic powers are real or a hoax, there is so much out there that science cannot explain since science is one of the biggest challengers of these supernatural gifts. However, it is important to consider whether science is the best tool to use to measure or even prove the existence of these powers and abilities since none of these powers fall within the boundaries of conventional science.Furthermore, fraudsters who saw an opportunity for financial and other personal gains have been exposed to be the frauds they are, and such revelations have not been of help to the psychic community. However, regardless of how many fake psychics are out there, their numbers do not prove that this age-old knowledge and abilities are nothing but human imaginations.The psychic community claims that every individual out there has more than the conventional common senses, with the other special senses manifesting in people differently and to different degrees. Experienced psychics claim that everyone has a psychic power, and all an individual needs to do is discover it, develop it, and exercise it in the best way he or she can.The objective of writing this book is to shed light on the issue of psychic powers, telepathy, aura reading, and the interpretation of dreams. All these are strange to the mind bound by scientific reasoning, but that does not mean all these are false beliefs. Through reading this book, a beginner will learn to awa ungekürzt.

The Reason for the Darkness of the Night (eBook, ePUB)
A finalist for the Los Angeles Times Book PrizeAn innovative biography of Edgar Allan Poe-highlighting his fascination and feuds with science.Decade after decade, Edgar Allan Poe remains one of the most popular American writers. He is beloved around the world for his pioneering detective fiction, tales of horror, and haunting, atmospheric verse. But what if there was another side to the man who wrote "The Raven" and "The Fall of the House of Usher"?In The Reason for the Darkness of the Night, John Tresch offers a bold new biography of a writer whose short, tortured life continues to fascinate. Shining a spotlight on an era when the lines separating entertainment, speculation, and scientific inquiry were blurred, Tresch reveals Poe's obsession with science and lifelong ambition to advance and question human knowledge. Even as he composed dazzling works of fiction, he remained an avid and often combative commentator on new discoveries, publishing and hustling in literary scenes that also hosted the era's most prominent scientists, semi-scientists, and pseudo-intellectual rogues. As one newspaper put it, "Mr. Poe is not merely a man of science-not merely a poet-not merely a man of letters. He is all combined; and perhaps he is something more."Taking us through his early training in mathematics and engineering at West Point and the tumultuous years that followed, Tresch shows that Poe lived, thought, and suffered surrounded by science-and that many of his most renowned and imaginative works can best be understood in its company. He cast doubt on perceived certainties even as he hungered for knowledge, and at the end of his life delivered a mind-bending lecture on the origins of the universe that would win the admiration of twentieth-century physicists. Pursuing extraordinary conjectures and a unique aesthetic vision, he remained a figure of explosive contradiction: he gleefully exposed the hoaxes of the era's scientific fraudsters even as he perpetrated hoaxes himself. Tracing Poe's hard and brilliant journey, The Reason for the Darkness of the Night is an essential new portrait of a writer whose life is synonymous with mystery and imagination-and an entertaining, erudite tour of the world of American science just as it was beginning to come into its own.- Shop: buecher
