About the book
Dive deeper into the mystical, the paranormal, and the occult—from ESP and clairvoyance to poltergeists and spirit possession—in this follow-up to the international bestseller, The Occult!
After writing his famous and critically acclaimed history of magic in The Occult, Colin Wilson now re-examines the whole spectrum of the mystical and paranormal, producing a general occult theory that remains as compelling as the evidence of atomic particles. Now with new material and evidence, this edition of Beyond the Occult combines scientific thinking on the nature of physical reality with a wide range of fascinating case studies of mystical experiences, spirit possession, poltergeists, and more. Discover the hidden powers of the human mind—and the more mysterious forces of good or evil—in chapters on:
- Extra-sensory Perception (ESP)
- Clairvoyance
- Psychometry
- Precognition
- Psychokinesis
- Dowsing
- Poltergeists
- Spirit Possession
- Reincarnation
In Beyond the Occult, Colin Wilson puts forward a convincing case that our so-called “normal” experience may, in fact, be subnormal, and that evolution may have brought us near the edge of a quantum leap into a hugely expanded human consciousness.
