This is a magnificent work. It focuses light upon what has been dark too long. It also brings General Semantics into the mainstream in a useful, logical manner vs. some of the more technical GS literature which seems questionable from a scientific perspective. True, the author is a strong proponent of psychic phenomena. But, a true scientist keeps an open mind and the literature is growing and convincing in these areas. For example, the illustrious Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) did a rigorous study on telepathy and published the sender's randomly selected photographs right next to the receiver's hand drawn responses. The results were VERY convincing. But, ESP is NOT the main thrust of this book. Rather, it is an attempt to integrate and extend intuitive reasoning minds through the past and into the near future. I'm impressed.
Extremely important book

Extremely important book.Six stars actually. It's tremendously sad this book is not in print; it should be the cornerstone for every class on comparative religion. The first few chapters are a bit technical/dull, but once you get to the fifth chapter or so you'll understand why I consider ita must-read. For those of you not raised in a religious setting, it will give you insight into how religions form and why they have had such a tight grip on the human mind since time immemorial. For those of you who are religious, this may upset you, but the truth will set you free, and this book may actually lift your spirits as it did mine. I truly believe this is one of the most important books ever written. Gina "believes" in reincarnation, telepathy, telekinesis, precognition, healing with ones hands, etc. but only because they would seem to have facts supporting their existence. "Those who claim to be skeptical of telepathy aren't skeptical, they're ignorant."
