Freedom! Escaping the Prison of the Mind (Paperback)
by Ozay Rinpoche
I am biased because this book is by a good friend of mine. However I have to say it is a fantastic story - my wife Jane's mum was so moved she cried when she read it. In places, it is also very funny! Highly recommended.
 The
Everything Divining the Future Book (Everything Series)
Jenni Kosarin
Jenni
mentions this website and has been for a reading with Craig Hamilton-Parker.
So this one goes to the top of the list!! An easy to understand introduction
to oracles and divination of the future.
 Voices:
a Doris Stokes Collection
Doris Stokes
She
inspired me to become a medium. This collection of her stories is a
must for anyone wanting to know about the Afterlife.
 The
Rock of Truth
Arthur Findlay
"Have
you ever wondered about the true Christian message? Arthur Findlay was
a remarkable Spiritualist. Here he reveals the Christian conspiracy.
For me this was a life changing book." The
author makes incisive commentary on Christianity and compares it to
Spiritualism and the philosophy of Spiritualism, which he explains in
detail.
 The
Boy Who Saw True
Cyril Scott
This
is a delightful story - the diary of a Victorian boy who had the gift
of "second sight". He tells his story naively and with refreshing
innocence, describing everyday life and the people he knew from the
perspective of seeing their "lights" or aura.
 Swan
on a Black Sea
Geraldine Cummins
Trance teaching from
the Spirit world The scripts are of especial interest because of the
involvement of the Society of Psychical Research.
 AfterLife
Colin Wilson
Colin
Wilson is one of the great contemporary paranormal writers. Afterlife
is an intriguing insight into life after death. Colin Wilson is one
of my favourite authors. His books are well researched with some unusual
insights.
 Graceful
Exits
Sushila Blackman
This
collection of 108 stories recounts the ways in which Hindu, Tibetan
and Zen Buddhist masters, both ancient and modern, have confronted their
own deaths. It is a really, really beautiful book. Highly recommended.
It is a shame the author died before her next book about how Christians
face death.
 The
Art of Happiness
Dalai Lama, Howard Cutler
The
Dalai Lama's guide to dealing with everyday human problems and achieving
happiness. It addresses such issues as: the sources of happiness; desire
and greed; marriage and romance; resolving conflict; facing our suffering;
overcoming anxiety; anger and hatred; and finding balance.

is an excellent researcher and writer who presents his ideas in an easy
to understand way.
 Silver
Birch Anthology
W M Naylor (Editor)
Classic trance writings
by one of Spiritualism's most important spirit guides. Love’s supreme
power, what happens after we die and "Who is Silver Birch?"
are just three of the topics in this absorbing book. Originally published
in 1955, the philosophy within this book is still fresh, vital and valuable
 Where
Two Worlds Meet

times but is nonetheless an fascinating insight into the phenomena of
Physical mediumship. Makes an excellent study guide for those wanting
to understand the possibilities of mediumship.
 Heaven
and Hell and Its Wonders : Drawn from Things Heard & Seen
Emanuel Swedenborg
An
interesting insight into perhaps the first mediumistic philosopher.
A great book for anyone developing a library of classic spiritual books.
Includes chapters about Heaven and Hell and the nature of the next life.
 Principles
of Spiritualism
Lyn de Swarte
I know Lyn-
she was the editor of Psychic News and an excellent authority
on Spiritualism. This introduction to Spiritualism includes the history
and philosophy of Spiritualism; how and where it is practised; clairvoyance,
clairsentience, clairaudience and inspiration; and spirit possession,
spirit healing and psychic surgery.
 Life
After Life
Raymond Moody, Elizabeth Kubler-Ross
This is a study
of more than 100 people who have experienced clinical "death"
and survived. Dr Moody reveals their testimonies and their descriptions
of "death" and the "beyond", and shows how the way
life, death and the spiritual hereafter are viewed have changed.
 Still
Here
Ram Dass
Great wisdom
from the hippie guru and author of 'Be
Here Now'. Written in a humorous, accessible way, this
text is aimed at those entering the later stages of life and contemplating
death. Dass was certainly my favourite Hippie. I ask: Where have all
the flowers gone?
 Memories,
Dreams, Reflections
C.G. Jung, Anelia Jaffe (Editor)
Carl Jung's
autobiography and his late thoughts about the unconscious and spirituality.
The book contains Jung's systematic thinking about the existence of
God. This book had a huge influence on my early ideas about the meaning
of life. Includes Jung's astral travel dreams about the afterlife.

 The
I Ching
Carry F Baynes and Richard Wilhelm
If
all the books in the world were to be destroyed but one then this is
the one I would salvage. The I Ching is an oracle that will transform
your life.
 On
the Side of Angels
Gordon Higginson
Gordon
Higginson was one of the best Mediums that the U.K. has ever seen. Those
who saw his work (including me) were left in awe of a humble but spiritually
great man who had time for everyone who crossed his path.
 Guide
for the Development of Mediumship
Harry Edwards
Another
Spiritualist Classic. The great healer Harry Edwards writes in a very
down to earth manner explaining the features and mechanics of psychic
activities such as Clairvoyance, Physical Mediumship, Mental Mediumship
etc.
 An
Arthur Ford Anthology : Writings by and About America's Sensitive of
the Century
Frank C. Tribbe (Editor), Arthur A. Ford (Editor)
I
think the title says it all. Arthur Ford was an amazing medium and gave
astonishing evidence of survival. One also gets the feeling that he
was a very humble and kind man too. Arthur Ford is a must read for anyone
wanting to know about mediumship in the USA.
 Talking
to Heaven
James Van Praagh
Based in the
USA the author, a medium, tells of his communications with the spirits
of those who have died. He also advises readers how to get in touch
with the spirits for themselves. Lecturer, nationally known medium,
and president of Spiritual Horizons in Los Angeles, Van Praagh conveys
a strong message of the probability of life after death.
 Life
Between Life
Joel L. Whitton, Joe Fisher
This
groundbreaking study confirms that life choices are individually made
within a between-life state called Bardo, where explanations for life's
burdens and ideas for relief are also offered.
 Design
for Dying
Timothy Leary
Another one
for us ageing hippies from the author of Politics
of Ecstasy and other shocking books from the 60's and
70's. Before Timothy Leary dropped out of life and died of prostrate
cancer, he wrote his final testament on what he felt life and the afterlife
hold for people. A fab book.

of the Soul

readers on a tour of the parallel universes, beyond the light. Journeying
through life, death, and life after death, her simple prose provides
