Most of us have wanted to know the future during times of crisis, or when we desired something special, or just out of curiosity.
Author Sylvia Fraser's first encounter with psychic Vince VanLimbeek proved life-changing. Intrigued by his talent for predicting her future, she persuaded him to tell her how he discovered his abilities and what it feels like to live inside the skin of a psychic
Modest and charming, VanLimbeek describes how he switches from the everyday world into an altered state, where the boundaries between past, present and future seem to dissolve. He introduces a couple of his spirit guides, and relates his experience of growing up in a family of gifted psychics in Nazi-occupied Holland during World War II. He tells anecdotes about his work with disturbed children and as a crime-buster, and talks about the strangeness of not understanding the meaning of some of his own predictions until after they've come true in a quirky and unexpected way.
Vince VanLImbeek believes that everyone possesses psychic ability. During Sylvia Fraser's exploration of the paranormal, she also discovered a talent for glimpsing her own future, especially where death was concerned. This inspired her to delve into the annals of the paranormal literature, from which she has drawn the best-documented, most striking examples of precognition. She examines the special psychic bond between twins, as well as between mothers and their children, believed by some researches to begin in the womb. She discovers a tradition among American presidents for consulting psychics; reviews the work of couple of history's best-known mediums, and explains why some physicists have come to believe that the future may, indeed, be foretold.
NOTE: Some of the material in "Psychic Secrets" comes from Fraser's longer work: "The Book of Strange."

A DOCTOR'S NEAR-DEATH AWAKENING
Yvonne Kason lived a privileged but ordinary life until age twenty-six, when a plane crash led to a blissful near-death experience, in which she felt herself float out of her body, bathed in a brilliant light and suffused with feelings of love.
Spurred on by this magical experience, Kason became a student of East Indian guru, Gopi Krishna, which included exploring her inner world through intense meditation. For ten years, she kept her esoteric life secret from her medical colleagues, afraid their ridicule might undermine her success as a family practitioner. However, when she came to realize how many others had psychic experiences that confused and disoriented them, she "outed" herself by becoming a therapist specializing in what she came to call "spiritually transformative experiences." Some of her patients had gone through near-death experiences similar to her own. Others consulted her because of what they thought to be alien encounters or reincarnational memories. Dr. Kason's aim, as a therapist and healer, was to help her patients integrates these often overwhelming experiences into a well-balanced life, while still respecting their specialness and their power to teach and transform.
