I was sorry when the book ended. This is the diary of a young boy born in victorian England with the ability to see and hear spirits. His family life in the victorian era is interesting to say the least, while the insights provided by conversations with spirits, teachers, and people who have "passed over" are fascinating and thought provoking. This is a book I plan to give to my friends who are following a spiritual path. It is easy to read and humorous as well. Most of the origional mispellings (from the diary) remain intact in this published edition, delightfully reminding us of the youthful innocence of the author.

I am a clairvoyant myself and teach intuition development
with the ARE and in my own course, the Lightworker Intensive.
I have this as one of the top books of recommended reading
for students.
Totally free of ego, this book tells the amazing and charming
story of a young boy's natural developing abilities, how he
felt about them, learned about them, wondered about them,
and learned to use and manage them.
Unforgettable. Definitely one of the best! I can't
think of any book comparable that teaches so much, so
innocently and beautifully.

I, like many other reviewers, was unable to put this book down once I started it. I loved reading about the topics of clairvoyance and clairaudiance as it was experienced by a child.

This book is basically the publishing of a childhood journal. It includes the psychic experiences this child had, as well as the way he was treated when speaking about them. It also includes some everyday childhood "stuff", but even that was quite interesting.

I would highly recommend this book to anyone interested in psychic development in particular, or metaphysics in general. It's a highly entertaining read.

The book begins as the diary of a young boy in Victorian England, we are not told his exact age, and his irreverent observations of life. And as it happens, this boy can see and converse with folks who have died, and can see auras. This part of the book is believable and funny. The Victorian era British slang is a hoot, and the social pretensions and inhibited language of the grownups is absolutely fascinating. But then, some other aspects of the book take the edge off. First the anonymous "diarist," now grown up, comes in with annotations and corrections, no longer humorous. Spirit visitors give long dissertations about spiritualism (the belief that the dead can communicate with the living) in turgid, unintelligible prose. The funny little boy becomes a directionless man who spends his time traveling alone, for no apparent reason. And the man who brought it all together, Cyril Scott, adds his own layer of editorializing and promoting spiritualism. Concepts from theosophy are added in and terms like "lords of karma" are freely thrown around. The book is great and I enjoyed it, but it does have this other side that is not quite so appealing.

Along with the others I could not stop reading this and strangely like the others I didnt want it to end. This book is filled with knowledge of the other side and humor-the boy is very funny. So interesting to read he was truly wise beyond his years. I only wish there was another book to this or more recorded diaries. What a gift this child had.

This book came to me in a dream a couple of years ago. I saw a book laying on the forest floor while hiking in my dream. I looked down at this book, and it said the boy who saw true, and on the cover was this young boy with this woman and man in the backgroud. Well two years later I'd typed the title in the search engines on the internet, and the boy who saw true pop up. More amazing was the front cover just like my dream. So to me this is a very magical book. The book is about a very kind boy, which is very rare in this world today, who has supernatural abilities. I believe those that read this book, and who have lost a love one will find great comfort in this reading. I discover something in this book that seems all too familiar, it is that everyone I know who has this ability or ones like it, are all very good hearted people. And it seems to me that all these good hearted people would'nt lie about these happenings. I've had many many vision of the future that have come true, and some have helped me out in different ways, but not one could I hold onto as proof, that is until I found the boy who saw true. I can look at the front cover over and over seeing not only my vision from the past, but also that this is a very special book indeed, I hope all will come to read.

Any bothers of the sometimes rather belief stretching terms such as fairies and lords of karma etc the child uses in this diary do not mar this stunningly wonderful read. This child has wonderful clairvoyant powers and writes this innocent diary about his childhood in Victorian England, a world of restrictions and religious rules. It is very amusing and I love to reread this more than any other modern book or psychic.

It is superb because it is so fresh, it doesn't try to convince the sceptic, it just tells his daily life for us to read. A peep into another world. You take from it what you can take on board. Why can't we know who this child was? The publishers must know,and the minimal copyright initials add to the mystery.

This book lets us know what else is in the world besides people.
It talkes about nature spirits, and what their roll on this planet is.
I highly recommend this to anyone.

I won't repeat what the other two reviewers have already said. I couldn't put it down once I started. I give it a 10 out of a possible 5. I keep it in my fireproof safe.

In my opinion, and several of my friends, this is the most important book on the planet at this time. I would not start reading it if you are very busy, because you will not be able to stop until you are done with it.

It does not contradict anything from the Seth Speaks series or anything from Theosophy, or Gnosticism (keep in mind that I am not an expert in either, however). The author claimed himself to be a follower of spiritualism. The Elder Brothers are the most interesting part of the book, I have found. Most of the book deals with reincarnation, karma, auras, speaking with spirits (Elder Brothers), and a bit of astral projection and the Akashic Records (whom the author can tap into at certain times).

Aside from all of the above, the book is very entertaining to read and you will find yourself laughing more than once. It gives many insights into the `Other Worlds' but it also has many on our own. As I said before, this is the most important book on the planet right now. If you are reading it just for fun, you will be entertained, and if you are on a serious study of such things, you will find many important tidbits of information scattered through ought the book.
