Power of Positive PR

Speaking as someone who has long been aware of the power of visualization and self-fulfilling prophecy in my life, this is a fascinating read. It confirmed and expanded many of my own views on such phenomena as ESP, psychic abilities, the relationship between logic and intuition and so on. Yes, we are in "X Files" territiory here! There are a large number of case studies quoted by Vaughan but mainly he draws on his own experiences and over 20 years worth of teaching psychic techniques. A wide range of exercises to help you test and improve your own abilities are presented at the end of each chapter, many of these taking experimental form. Vaughan talks of "tapping the blueprints of life" but also points out that we may need to learn to distinguish between genuine guiding visions for our best future, and "strongly held fantasies". Again there are exercises offered to help do this.A very wide range of related subjects are intelligently explored or touched on in this book. "The inner self puts moral restrictions on psychic perception" suggests Vaughan in relation to using predictive abilities to win at gambling. Do we have the power to change an unwanted future if we see it coming? What is the relationship between fate and free will? How much of our individual and collective future can be "predicted" by observing the continuation of current trends and patterns? Vaughan suggests that by understanding how our mind works, we can understand how we are creating our dreams and our future. Excellent.
