Becoming Psychic is essential reading, both for the beginner interested in developing latent abilities and also for the adept eager to keep up with the latest scientific findings. Dr. Kierulff''s chatty, reader-friendly approach to developing psychic ability is the perfect complement to Dr. Krippner's lucid explanations of relevant parapsychological research. Brimming with intriguing personal experiences and the latest scientific findings, this readable and inspiring volume touches heart, mind, and spirit.
I picked up this book thinking it was probably another New Age insult to my intelligence and was pleasantlly surprised to find that I was wrong. Simple but not simplistic, it has just the right amount of scholarly and anecdotal narrative to make the one believable and the other palatable. Usually books on topics like this are either silly or dry but this one kept my interest all the way to the end. It's an easy read with clarity and depth and it gives you a lot to relate to whenever you catch yourself "becoming psychic".
Becoming Psychic is a unique book that relates a clinical psychologist's anomalous experiences to his purported spiritual growth. A psychologist and experimental parapsychologist makes comments, some of them quite skeptical, about the reported phenomena. The back-and-forth dialectic makes for fascinating and informative reading. Readers can make up their own minds!
Reading Becoming Psychic was quite a stimulating and enjoyable experience. I found the book to be extremely well-crafted - from concept to organization to writing style. Dr. Kierulff has done a masterful job of leading the reader, in a gentle mind-opening way. I could see hints of Zen-mind plus master therapist behind the writing. I appreciated the book not only from the point of view of a book publisher/editor but also from the POV of a psychologist and fellow psychic (medium) who values intellectual rigor.
While this book covered things I had studied in the seventies, I did find it interesting. The back and forth of the two writers was different. The only fault I found with the book was the over use of quotes. Some I bookmarked though. I would recommend it to someone just getting into the study of becoming psychic.
Perfect Gift for those who want to learn to channel their psychic powers or improve on their intuition, an easy read.
