This copy includes an signed note from the author on printed letterhead, as well as several other pieces of related ephemera. From the publisher: "The paranormal fascinates us. From our first dawn, Mankind became obsessed with the mysteries of gods and religion. From our first sunset, we pursued clandestine liaisons with religion's evil twin - The occult. Yet for all our bold experimentation and theorising, we are no closer now to an understanding of the supernatural than were our distant ancestors... How is it possible that a 'force' seemingly woven into the very fabric of existence, and one that has profoundly influenced the lives of millions, stubbornly defies all attempts to analyse, classify, or replicate?" The author recounts the story of a five year experiment, started in 1998, in which over 4000 self-declared psychics were asked to "channel" whatever message came through from what they thought was an ancient quartz crystal skull. The result were astounding - but not as much as the twist at the end of the book - which challenges the very conclusions to which the whole work seems to have been building. An intriguing work by R. T. Cole, known for "A Different Kind of Darkness," "Thelema Revisited," etc. A bit of light shelf rubbing - else a tight, bright and unmarked near Fine copy. Item #63643
