5.0 out of 5 stars Brad Steiger always delivers!, January 2, 2002

By 

Dr. Miranda (Michigan) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Our Shared World of the Supernatural (Paperback)

Just finished reading this book. I must say - Steiger always delivers & makes you wish the book was longer. Title is a bit misleading,this book is really focused on spirits. Lots of good chapters though, This book tends to lean more towards 'spirit' types of beings, ie. chapters on : friendly spirits, spirit teachers, light spirits, spiritual beings from other dimensions, ghost spirits, active/reactive spirits, guardian spirits, etc. This book is an enjoyable read .... now I want to read Steiger's "Shadow World"....

5.0 out of 5 stars Eye opening paranormal stories, June 20, 2002

This review is from: Our Shared World of the Supernatural (Paperback)

I have read many books on the spiritual and paranormal from a very young age, yet, I felt curious about Brad Steiger's book "Our Shared World of the Supernatural," so I purchased a copy three days ago.

As I read the stories he shared of very real people who had experienced encounters with the paranormal, I couldn't put his book down. I loved his style of writing and the message he so ably put across to his readers: that we are NOT alone in this world, there are many dimensions and beings sharing our world. His book reminded me of certain precautions one must take when connecting to the spiritual world and of the importance of helping our earth. By reading his book, I felt reconnected to my purpose and to the mysteries of a vast universe. I thank Brad Steiger for using his gifts as a writer and paranormal researcher to bring awareness to our troubled world. I will definitely purchase another book from him... I am looking into buying a book about angels.

This review is from: Our Shared World of the Supernatural (Paperback)

While this book is really a companion volume to the author's _Shadow World_ it can easily stand alone on its own merits. One day it would be nice to see both volumes offered in a hard cover gift set, if not a single volume. Taken together, they do seem to form a fitting master capstone for over 50 years of profoundly significant work. Perhaps a three-volume set could also include the author's seminal _Revelation: the Divine Fire_.

Primarily, this book expands the roster of extra-dimensional beings that we share our universe with. In addition to the spirits of the dead, nature spirits, deiform spirits, spirit parasites, and spirit mimics of the previous volume, the nature of the Light Beings are explored. This includes the benevolent entities termed angels, spirit guides, spirit teachers, and celestial visitors or "space brothers." Techniques for contact and behavior are included. It is pointed out that such entities should never be either worshipped or summoned- if they respond to this then they are not what they claim to be. Once again, the many case studies that illustrate the bulk of the book are well written and well researched.

There is much more to this book, however: Near-Death experiences, Out of Body Experiences, dream teachings, calling for divine aid, and S-Force energy. The latter (S-Force or supernatural energy) is shown to be related to the Algonquins' Manitou, the Sufis' Baraka, and Plato's Nous. It has been called prana, mana, ki, chi, wodan, ruach, and the Holy Spirit. Only one who truly Knows Himself thoroughly should ever attempt channeling it with their own will. Only if you are so absolutely sure of your deepest motives and motivations that you can whole-heartedly ask to be struck down rather than help to work evil or do harm should you attempt to mold and direct such power.

One of the human light workers in one an included case study points out that we are all spiritual beings and can experience many dimensions- we have a responsibility to get that message out. What we do on earth, it is also pointed out, is our choice, but to deny, ridicule, deter, or prevent that message from reaching others will harm our own spiritual growth. And to advance such false goals as wealth and materialism will make this world an even more evil and difficult place to live. She goes on to say that being indifferent to the needs of others makes us responsible for poverty, greed, and suffering. You seldom find the Truth spelled out so clearly in these modern times....

The concluding chapter deals with maintaining a mystical state of consciousness. It includes William James's four criteria for defining a mystical consciousness: Ineffability, Noetic quality, Transiency, and Passivity. This is important since only one gifted with mystic Union should attempt the channeling of S-force. It can be done.
