The Psychic Reality: Developing Your Natural Abilities [Paperback]

Robert Cracknell (Author), Colin Wilson (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: June 1, 1999

Psychic ability is not a gift reserved only for a chosen few. It is a universal human inheritance, like sight, like hearing. Yet, it is also true that this psychic inheritance is a skill to be developed. Some are born with their psychic abilities near to hand and easily accessible. Others discover them only in emergencies, or by so-called "accident." And still others are taught if they can find a competent teacher.

Robert cracknell is such a teacher. One of the most famous psychics in Britain, called "Britain's Number-One Psychic Detective," he was tested at Oxford University and scored an astonishing 80% success rate in precognition.

Yet, he maintains, the difference between his abilities and yours is not only a matter of inborn skill, but of development and practice. Using stories from his own extraordinary life, and exercises he developed specifically for this purpose, he teaches you to develop the psychic abilities you were born with even if you have never used them before.

2.0 out of 5 stars Disappointed, October 26, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: The Psychic Reality: Developing Your Natural Abilities (Paperback)

The cover of this book is beautiful, but the contents weren't even close to what I anticipated after reading the back cover. This is not a "psychic techniques" book. Not in comparison with the other books of the same subject. 85% of this book is the author giving his opinions which are not revelatory or insightful. They are "old news". I felt if this book had been written in the 1970's it might have been more popular. It also seemed as if this book was written for complete skeptics that have no knowledge of the paranormal or metaphysical. If you have ever read any book on developing your psychic abilities, I would definitely skip this one. If you have no knowledge of psychic senses and metaphysical / paranormal subjects, then you might enjoy this book.

1.0 out of 5 stars Bragging, Beating Around the Bush, No Substance, October 25, 2002

This review is from: The Psychic Reality: Developing Your Natural Abilities (Paperback)

If you can read and think, you will realize that the author just brags (indirectlt, rather in a smart way), beats around the bush and just provide some useless info on opening of the chakras which he makes it seem soooooo easy (which of course it isn't). If opening the chakras were that easy, there would be training centers all over USA that offer it as a short course ("Opening Your Chakras in Seven Days", say as an example).

Don't waste your time and money on this one.

5.0 out of 5 stars The best book on the psychic around, October 24, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: The Psychic Reality: Developing Your Natural Abilities (Paperback)

Robert Cracknell insists that he is not a teacher but he is perhaps the best psychic teacher around, and his book on psychic phenomena (he is a professional psychic detective) is likewise the best, and certainly the wisest, take on an important and too often sensationalized subject. The author believes (rightly) that we are all psychic and demands that we assume the personal responsibility for our powers, which he is at pains to de-mystify. Cracknell is earthy and balanced, unlike many in this field. He wants us to stop relying on gurus and messiahs and instead rely on ourselves to cultivate (psychic) self-awareness, which he sees as a moral (and environmental) imperative. His prose is direct and clear, as is his message. I cannot recommend this book too highly!
