ANNOTATED TABLE OF CONTENTS Your authors have chosen to provide a detailed, or annotated, Table of Contents and we want to tell you why. Because we anticipate this book being extensively used as a combination Reference and Practical Textbook - one that we hope you will not merely refer to often but will use as a practical guide to all of the Tools and Techniques of Psychic Empowerment- we wrote these chapter descriptions to serve as a concise introduction to each subject. At the same time, rather than create an encyclopedia by adding many more chapters, we chose the subjects carefully to serve as master foundation for you to build your own Self-Empowerment program of personal development and experiment. These introductions carefully follow the construction of each chapter and then provide a quick sequential reference to the included content. We have also provided a Master List of the Charts, Tables, Programs & Procedures, and a List of Illustrations & Photographs so you can quickly find or refer back to particular information regardless of its chapter location. We hope that you will find this book to be as exciting as it is useful; that it will open doors and windows revealing new worlds of mind & spirit; and that it will inspire a revolutionary movement of mental and spiritual innovation to move beyond present concepts of conflict and limitation. We live at a turning point in human history as alone and together we take the next steps in our evolution and the realization of the first global civilization. Illustrations and Photographs Charts, Tables, Programs & Procedures Foreword - What is "Psychic Empowerment"? That''s what you''re going to read about in this book, but it''s not just one thing but many.

There are many subjects we can group under "Psychic" and we can ask many questions about what we mean by "Empowerment." But, we can''t just define "Psychic" by the many subjects it encompasses (some of which are listed below) and more that we can comfortably define "Physical" by listing all the subjects from Astronomy (and Astrology) to Hatha Yoga and Zoology that the physical world encompasses. And the same is true of words (and worlds) like "Mental" and "Spiritual." The reality is that each person has physical aspects and psychic aspects as well as mental and spiritual. You have a physical body, you have a mind, and most people believe they have a soul or spirit. The reality is that you also have innate psychic powers and attributes, but they are under-developed because we have a primarily material viewpoint of the world we live in. This book is giving you a new perspective, and it is also providing you with the means to develop your psychic powers and attributes. And we''re going to show you that in doing so you are going to become more than you are - you are going to grow and develop into the whole person you are intended to be.

For each chapter described here in the Table of Content, we''re going to list some interesting statistics taken from Amazon and Google, but for this Foreword there really isn''t one specific subject to relate to, so we''re just going to give a broad selection of the same information.

Preface Psychic empowerment, rather than a theoretical possibility, is a measurable though complex process of personal evolvement. Using the tools and techniques presented in this book, you can accelerate that process by accessing your dormant inner potentials and activate them to enrich the quality of your life. This book goes beyond the mere presentation of information and beliefs about psychic phenomena by offering rational explanations of the "unexplained" and focusing on the personal benefits of the psychic experience. It explores a host of psychic tools and formulates effective techniques for applying them.

It systematically develops the psychic empowerment perspective by focusing on our inner potentials and our ability to develop and apply them. Presented at the end of the book is a "Journey of your Lifetime" Development Program, which organizes the seminal concepts of psychic empowerment into an accelerated, step-by-step program for the systematic development of your psychic potentials. Introduction Part One: Consciousness-Expanding Techniques for Psychic Development You are, by nature, psychic. The central theme of this book is the development of psychic empowerment through practice and first-hand experience. Psychic empowerment is a continuous process of growth and self-discovery. In the empowered state, you can achieve your loftiest goals and improve the quality of your life. Equipped with knowledge and related skills, you can at last take full commands of the forces--both within and beyond--that affect your life. You can accelerate learning, improve memory, increase creativity, solve complex problems, overcome debilitating fears, promote better health and fitness, break unwanted habits, and even slow the aging process.

On a larger scale, you can contribute to the greater good and make the world a better place for present and future generations. Contents include: Empowerment Possibilities of Psychic Knowledge; Threefold Premise of Psychic Empowerment; The Psychic Empowerment Perspective; Four Empowering Principles; The Psychic Empowerment Hierarchy; Psychic Empowerment Programs; Self-discovery, Commitment, Investment; Guidelines to Psychic Empowerment. Chapter One - Extrasensory Perception: Out of the Lab into the Real World Extrasensory perception (ESP) is knowledge of or response to events, conditions, or situations - past, present, or future - independently of known sensory mechanisms or processes. While not yet fully understood, ESP is one of our most valuable channels for experiencing the inner and outer realities of our existence. Bypassing ordinary sensory functions, it can directly engage realities that are otherwise unavailable to us. In its capacity to send and receive both thoughts and feelings through telepathy, ESP can expand our communication capacities, promote productive interactions, and provide information, often from a great distance, otherwise unavailable to us. In its capacity to perceive spatially distant realities through clairvoyance, ESP can dramatically expand our world of awareness and uncover critical sources of new knowledge and power. In its capacity to perceive the future through precognition, ESP can provide advanced awareness that equips us to prepare for future events and, in some instances, to influence or prevent them altogether.

Contents include: Empowering effects of psychic knowledge; The Developmental Nature of ESP; Factor X; Becoming Psychically Empowered; Positive Self-Talk; Psychic Empowerment Through Self-Talk - Telepathy, Precognition, Clairvoyance; The Power of Mental Imagery; Mental Imagery & the Palm Viewing Exercise; The Finger Interlock Technique; Extrasensory Interactions with the Spirit Realm; ESP and the Dream Experience; Beyond Dreaming. Amazon lists 793 titles for Extrasensory Perception. Google lists 223,000 results for Extrasensory Perception Chapter Two - Astral Projection and the Out-of-Body Experience Astral projection is the greatest adventure in consciousness we can have while still living in our physical body. It offers proof that being within the physical body is necessary to know, to feel, to love, to live, and to fulfill the great plan of growing and evolving to become more than we are. We are beings of consciousness sometimes inhabiting physical bodies that we can learn to leave at will, to travel in time and space, and tap into memory archives and knowledge banks even greater than those of Internet search engines. Going outside of the physically limited brain consciousness enables the soul traveler to enter the heaven worlds, meet and communicate with deceased loved ones, receive guidance from spiritual counselors and even to intervene in the physical world often healing the body of disease. Contents include: What is Astral Projection? The Astral Body and the Astral Plane; Macrocosm & Microcosm; Mathematical Measurement Prefixes & their Meanings; Vibration Ranges of different phenomena; Infraso.
