About this listen

My career was being trained as and working as an engineer mostly for Fortune 100 companies. In parallel with that I’ve also been working on spiritual enlightenment and developing my paranormal abilities for the last fifty years.

This unusual combination of skills has led me to my passion of writing about the paranormal and many “out of the box” concepts and topics. I’ve actually written twelve books about the paranormal based on my experiences and research into these topics.

One topic which has always fascinated me has been how many paranormal experiences are usually interpreted by mental health professionals as delusional and mentally ill behaviors.

My thinking is that most people have spiritual and paranormal abilities and these cause experiences which can overwhelm some people to make them fit the diagnosis of them having mental illnesses. Certainly there are a lot of legitimate mental illnesses which cause the need for treatments by mental health professionals.

But what happens when persons having these experiences may be normal and stable in their other behaviors but these experiences are so far beyond the norms of society that others think they are “crazy” and therefore treat them as such?

I’ve heard and read a number of stories over the years where I wonder if they were real experiences which might have just caused the person who lived them to have a nervous breakdown.

This book is my effort to help people understand the interfaces of real paranormal experiences and mental illness and how to tell which is which. Also, what additional therapies can be used to help people who may be overwhelmed by these experiences?
