Pseudo Science

This book is more of faith and belief then science. if you've ever dropped acid then you'll probably vibe with it a little. Not a very scientific based read as hoped.

Pure magic.

This is a rare book, showing how the human intellect is indeed limited to the physical world, and only if we opened our awareness to the invisible, that we may grasp the magic of all creation and beyond.
