Author: Vincent, Mr. Kimbell Richard

Condition: New

Product DescriptionThis is the age of enlightenment. Growing numbers of people are seeing more and sensing more. It is time of wonderment, uncertainty, twisted dogma and rampant fear. How we evolve and how we cope depends on sorting the wheat from the chaff; in short, being able to discern what is real and what is not. At a time when you can hear almost anything if you listen long enough, GETTING REAL covers all aspects of the paranormal and metaphysical. The focus is on spirituality and personal psychic development, rather than the sensational and the misleading. It puts both the tried-and-true and the fringe elements in perspective, but it doesnt pull punches when it comes to fraudulence and self-beguilement, something that virtually all books in this genre avoid. GETTING REAL is a single reference source that cuts through the hype and the heavies, with the emphasis on what is real and what we can do about it. In practical use, GETTING REAL will serve as a comprehensive guide for anyone who takes the subject seriously.About the AuthorBy age 16 Kim Vincent was captivated by the metaphysical. This fascination is still with him and shows up in his eight books. In his 30s he was hosting home discussion groups and playing the organ in two different churches. By age 40s he had one of the largest collection of metaphysical books in Canada and developed a 160 acre spiritual retreat which was attended by folks from all over the world. At the same time he organized university seminars and was featured on various radio shows and hosted a 33 week television series entitled This Psychic World. It was then that an editor from Doubleday came across some of his lecture papers and asked him to write an encyclopedia on parapsychology. That was almost 30 years ago. Once hooked, he has been writing ever since, during which time he had a construction business, a land development company, an architectural design practice, a vinyl window factory and a pewter foundry. The encyclopedia, updated and in a more popular style, is now available under the title GETTING REAL. According to Kim: Things have not been dull. If Ive got it figured right, Im now on my third life, doing what I love most.
