Clairvoyance by Joules and Ken Taylor is essentially a step by step manual to help people of different abilities discover their empathic selves.
As well as its visionary agenda, it is also a useful guide to relaxation, finding inner peace and remaining in control of thoughts and emotions.
This reviewer is no more empathic than a Triassic fossil but found the arts of divination, using sympathetic talismans and astrology almost alluring. Though, like lip-reading, I have misgivings about telepathy because I believe there are some things you are better off not knowing. However, here it is not presented as an unwelcome intrusion, more a reaching out to like minds.
In Clairvoyance, empathic accomplishments are treated as a natural extension of human senses and without the wide-eyed mystical wonderment of more populist and uninformed material. Even to an unbeliever, the matter of fact tuition to ferret out the psychic self seems totally plausible as a practical way of enhancing your life and, perhaps, escaping a few turns of The Wheel.
Thankfully there is no mention of ouija boards or raising demonic forces and it never encourages the susceptible to adopt harmful convictions about zapping their enemies or turning the cat into a hobgoblin. This not only places Alister Crowley in the dungeon dimension he deserves, but extols a benign view of a Universe it is possible for the most unassuming to interact in.
Self-awareness and self-improvement are the cornerstone themes of Clairvoyance. The authors make it clear that there are no magical fixes to enlightenment and, for the unconvinced, there is practical advice on how to manage your thoughts and nourish the inner being. The Taylors’ book has full colour throughout and, on the whole, this works very well apart from one or two areas where the background design can reduce the readability of the text.
This book is ideal for the person who suspects that they have experienced the odd premonition or an uncannily accurate tarot reading and feels the need for a more positive connection with reality than that in a television soap.
