Chills & Thrills Like You CANnot Help But Believe...

WOW! I was prepared to be entertained by this book from reading other reviews of Brad Steiger's work, but I never could have prepared myself to be so completely spooked and enlightened all from one little book. Some of the stories were a "little" outside of my suspension of disbelief, but even so, I have a hard time seeing this author as anything but credible. Even when I was shaking my head and thinking "No way..."SOMETHING kept pulling me back and saying "Oh yes, WAY!" lol His style of writing is very laid back, very open and so completely spellbinding that I am already in the process of ordering his complete collection of books. I really enjoyed his teachings and techniques for contact and self awareness. I most particularly enjoyed the story of Lucy Fritch: The Friendly Spirt. The ending almost brought a tear of shared delight to my eye.

We are spiritual beings who experience many dimensions.

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.

A Glimpse Beyond The Veil

Once again "The Master of the Paranormal" comes through with an astonishing book. You will be guided on a trip to an rarely seen world which surrounds each of us. Mr.Steiger in OUR SHARED WORLD OF THE SUPERNATURAL and SHADOW WORLD offers insights into HIS feelings, gleened from over 40 years of investigations into the Supernatural. The TRUE astonishing stories are offered in a non-judgmental manner for you the reader to ponder. Mr. Steiger doesn't tell you what to believe, he opens new vistas for you to consider.His advise about "Cautiously, Prayerfully, Discern the Boundaries of the Supernatural" and other personal observations make these books I'll always cherish in my library. Nobody can describe the supernatural better than Brad Steiger. Mark Twain once said "Kipling knows all that there is in the known world and I know the rest". Thank you Brad Steiger for giving us a map to "the rest". Do I recommend these books? Both together are the most comprehensive and honest I've found on the Supernatural world around us. My HIGHEST recommendation Erskine, host of Erskine Overnight as heard Saturday and Sunday nights on Business Talk Radio Network

Eye opening paranormal stories

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. Marie

Brad Steiger always delivers!

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"....
