Uri Geller's Amazing Powers.
I have read over thirty books w/contet of Paranormal, but this one is better than all the rest. I have found numerous references to this book wich indicates to me the quality of this book to other writers. About Paranormal, this is the best book available. Ella's story can be true. Each chapter concludes with questions to guide one's study. If you can only afford one book, get this one, I don't think you will be disappoint if you are serious about your Paranormal.

Fascinating read!
Well-known psychic Geller turns from nonfiction (Uri Geller's Mindpower Kit) to fiction in his latest book, and though his original motive may have been to advocate his beliefs, the result is a most respectable piece of storytelling. Fourteen-year-old Ella Wallis, the daughter of an unhappy working-class family (with a domineering, adulterous father and an insensitive, alcoholic mother) in Bristol, England, suddenly finds herself developing uncontrollable paranormal powers - books fly around her, a forceful whining sound surrounds her whenever she's frightened. As her destructive powers increase, she is ostracized by schoolmates and soon becomes the center of a media circus. The publicity provokes a three-cornered power struggle between psychic researcher Peter Guntarson, public relations mogul José Miguel Dóla and Ella's avaricious family. As Ella becomes more adept, capable of levitation, teleportation and worldwide healing, her intense friendship with Guntarson appears to give him the victory. But Ella's capabilities are wearing away at her health and sanity, and she may not survive Guntarson's final challenge. Geller's novel recalls the themes of both The Exorcist and Carrie, but it does so with intelligence, wit and an abundance of well-chosen detail, fleshing out even such unsympathetic characters as Ella's father, Ken. Geller's acerbic portrait of the sensationalist media adds a new twist to this predictable but engaging tale. (June)

FYI: Geller next book, Mind Medicine, will be published by Element in October.Publishers Weekly

A Journey into the Mystcal Realm
Uri Geller's Ella is a story of a bulimic fourteen year old girl abused by her parents, a alcoholic mother, and a fundamentalist Christian father which makes her withdraw into the supernatural world of angels and levitation. The only love and emotional support Ella knows is from her brother Frank which develops into a close wonderful telepathic communication. Read the book and find out how Ella is able to save her brother's life. Is it the power of love and prayer? This novel is so powerful that it will move your very being emotionally everytime you re-read it. Peter Gauderson, the journalist that Ella learns to trust and love is able to telepathically communicate with her, is a good man in the beginning. How sad when greed takes over his heart and he exploits Ella for his own personal gain. Uri Geller gives a very graphic discription of the horrors of suicide that will stay with you long after you finish the novel. Can Ella raise Peter from the dead or will she give her teddy bear to Jesus? Will Peter discover the true meaning of love and joy only marriage can give? It should warm your heart that "part of the proceeds" are going to the Bristol Children's Hospital and the Great Ormond Street Hospital for Children. Crystal Rose

Creativity Exemplified: This book is an EXPERIENCE
For 17 years I taught a course in creativity at American River College in Sacramento and gathered everything I could find that would help students open to new ideas about themselves and the world around them. There is no book that even comes close to achieving what Para Science Pak offers.
The pages literally rise up to meet you becoming
3-D sculptures which tease you into delving more deeply into the mysteries in our midst. It is artistic, playful, informative, stimulating and a valuable contribution which
you have to experience to believe. I was reluctant to spend
$. for something that was wrapped up and sealed, but
I understand why now and it is worth every penny and cheaper to purchase on line than in the store. I agreed to share it with a high school psychology class because it's an excellent introduction an overview of skills many have not developed or had explained to them. The unique approach and appeal is remarkable. It brings the written word to life and invites the reader to translate the left brain information into a right brain experience. I was concerned about parts of the book being fragile. I treat my copy like a work of art and want it to be seen and shared, so I constructed a special carrying case to protect it. It commands a certain respect as you explore the brilliant and creative way it is constructed. Actually I don't know how they can sell it for $. It is above and beyond anything I have seen in this area.

The ParaScience Pack is an eye-opening book
From the moment I picked up the ParaScience Pack, I could tell this was no ordinary coffee table book. Uri Geller has done a wonderful job at explaining the world of the unexplained and the paranormal. The pop-up paper sculptures throughout the book are amazing. And the experiments in the back have kept me busy for several evenings.

A Journey into 3D and Back
Wow:)When I opened this book a brain poped out with a great introduction by Uri Geller. Did you know that gravity is an unexplained scientific phenomenon? Read this book and find out Why. When looking at many of the diagrams you wear glasses that animates the diagrams. Wow! When I turned to the next page a beautiful woman Pops Up. Uri then explains the importance of positive thinking and healing. Take a little journey into the unknown with this amazing Parascience Pop Up book and Kit.

These are Biblical times
...

This is a book about two souls struggling through a series of letters to make sense of their lives. Uri Geller I have known for over 25 years. Rabbi Shmuley Boteach is someone I had never heard of until I picked up this book. Both are sincere family men, yet each has a contradictory aspect, for instance, both are humble yet both have enormous egos. Both feel an incessant aching in their souls. Both are in awe of fame and actively seek to partake of it, in part to verify/justify their existence, and both have rubbed elbows with society's elite.
Uri's cousin, psychoanalyst, Sigmund Freud, realized that a true purging of the soul, what Catholics call Confession, and what Jews do on Yom Kippur, serves to heal old wounds thus allowing for future growth. This reader has been brought to tears from some of the deeply personal passages which outpoured from Uri's soul. Wounded in battle, with his friends dying around him, and forced to kill the enemy during the 1967 Israeli/Arab war, it is Uri's firm wish that there be Peace between Palestinians and their brethren, the Jews. At his core, Uri is a man who identifies with all religions.
Rabbi Shmuley has also had his traumas, growing up in a divorced family, trying, like Uri, to come to grips with a complicated and distant father. Wise beyond his years, the Rabbi has a lot to say. God is accessible if we open up our hearts. Only the righteous can truly lead a happy life. The Garden of Eden still exists, and is accessed daily by our innocent children.
The duo, at times appear superficial. The Rabbi actually invited Jerry Springer to speak at his classes at Oxford University, and admitted this in print! Uri sees the Pop Idol Elvis as a God. Both Uri and the Rabbi are overly concerned about their fame. However, it is here with the reach of time, that comparisons cease. Ten generations from now, Uri Geller's name will still be known. He asks himself, is it God himself or UFO's who have given him the power to bend metal by mind power alone? This is the quintessential question, which our society is unable to really process. The ramifications are too monumental.
Uri Geller has demonstrated his spoon-bending ability not only to tens of thousands all over the globe, but also to top flight physicists, Heads of State and world figures. For those who understand esotericism (see Ouspensky's text on Gurdjieff, In Search of the Miraculous), this is no small feat. What do these great people think of the world they live in because of Uri Geller? And how has this change in thought impacted their influence on history?
Geller's very eruption onto the world scene in the early 1970's caused a revolution in the fields of cosmology and the quantum physics of consciousness. His impact on art and literature is also consequential. Such movies as The Fury, Dreamscape, Powder, Phenomenon, Matrix, X-Files and X-Men, and on a personal note, my own upcoming novel STARETZ ENCOUNTER, all owe their debt in great measure to Uri Geller. His flame has ignited directly or indirectly, literally tens of millions of minds.
There is much talk in the book about the coming of the Messiah. Perhaps Martin Luther King has already fulfilled that role in our time. Nevertheless, in ancient times, without any doubt, a person, with Uri's abilities would have been seen as a God, a role Uri has successfully eschewed. Having earned a king's ransom finding diamond mines and oil reserves, Uri's door has always been open to his friends, rich and poor.
Uri's very existence creates the supreme metaphysical conundrum, not only for he, himself, but for anyone else who has eyes to see. Struck by a strange light onto his forehead when he was four, Uri has had Egyptian and Tibetan apports fly into his room, he has photographed UFO's, and has said on many occasions that he suspects that his abilities come from extraterrestrials. Well, if that is so, what role does a Supreme Being play in all this? If what has happened to Uri Geller has happened to Moses, Jesus and other historical religious figures from other religions, clearly a monkey-wrench of gargantuan proportions has been thrown into the Biblical mix.

...BR>
If our Creator has a conscious component, then stop and consider, the vast realm this supreme entity has to take care of. Our galaxy alone as 100 billion stars, and there are hundreds of billions of galaxies. I have enough trouble finding my keys when I leave the house! Clearly, a hierarchy of intelligences, which the Rabbi suggests may be angels, makes more sense. Thus, Andrija Puharich, the man who introduced Geller to the West, may have been right all along. An extraterrestrial cabal far in advance of our civilization takes care of our planet. For the most part, they leave us alone. And thus, the ET's do not step in during the Holocaust, because we have been given us free will. But occasionally, through His liaisons, They sprinkle the earth with a few avatars, a list of commandments, a monotheistic paradigm, an ancient savior who give humans the promise of everlasting life, and a modern day superpsychic who can electrify our spirit. I highly recommend this sincere book for opening up a new dialogue on the age old question about the nature of civilization and the source of our being.

Exceptional!
I'm not exactly sure why I got this book. I assumed it would be a dry philosophical exchange, but hoped Uri Geller might share a bit about his life as the world's most gifted psychic. I wish I could convey my transformation as I realized I held a book not only to be read, but cherished. The Psychic and The Rabbi is a heartfelt exchange between two of the most exceptional men of our time. I found their honesty breath-taking, their humor refreshing, and their dedication to humanity humbling.

Mind expanding, you do not want to put the book down !
The litmus test of an especially good book is one in which you do not want to put the book down; you want keep reading to conclusion or to exhaustion. This book falls into that category but in a rather unusual way, because normally you are seeking the answer of the plot with a fiction book, or wanting to come to the overall prognosis of the subject. But in this case the book is rather unique in the fact that the subject matter is very changeable with no definite conclusions. The book consistiing of an exchange of letters between two men at the top of their chosen professions as the Rabbi and the Psychic. The reason I found the book to be so engrossing is based on various levels. Firstly the interaction between the two extremely successful men of widely different professions stimulates wonderful engrossing thought in the subject areas of, Is there a god ? and if so why, what's the meaning of life?, why love is so important, what the usual drive for celebrity status is, also where true celebrity status can useful, and so on through many subjects. The two highly intelligent individuals realise from their wisdom that no one human being is an island, we all have our faults and the two men are helping each other with their own personal questions and thoughts about life. Both being honest enough to explain in the process their various and dramatic childhood struggles moving full spectrum to their present high-profile existences. Discussing with refreshing brutal frankness their true inner thoughts, failings, and feelings throughout their lives Both Rabbi Boteach and Uri Geller are apparently vastly different characters but share strong similarities in the respect they are both Jewish, both religious, highly questionable of every aspect of the living experience, and of course both experiencing the intensity, difficulties and opportunities of living at the height of profession and celebrity status. My overall prognosis of the book is that it is a not quick easy book to read, because you want to be able to able to apply your own judgments to their thought patterns, but in the process it is all one could ask from a book, not just superbly entertaining but also extremely thought expanding for the reader in subjects of most importance, like why is humanity existing? They come to their conclusions along with the reader, mind expanding stuff.

Who is Uri Geller ?
My Story, is the first autobiography Uri Geller ever wrote is fascinating,shocking and mind provoking. He tries to explain his paranormal powers and refutes false claims of New Scientist magazine. They claimed he had a miniature radio implantd in his teeth. What a wild story! Then follow up by reading Jonathan Margolis new autobiography Magician or Mystic?

An Autobiography of an honest, loving caring genius.
Uri Geller became a household name to many people when he became famous on TV and in the media for the showmanship which came so natural to him. He taught many people over the air waves, while sitting in their homes, to bend spoons, and other mind over matter feats. there are many news and magazine articles covering these shows.

The story that is less known is the research he volunteered to participate in under strict laboratory protocol at Stanford University's Stanford Research Institute. The research findings of Dr. Andriha Puharich, an experienced parapsychologist, who spent considerable time effort and capital to investigate his activites under close scrutiny are also not as well known. (See also: Andriha Puharich: "Uri"). His contacts with beings of a more advanced civilization(ships) are detailed both in his and Dr Puharich's book. There were multiple witnesses to many of his activities including these.

Do not read this book unless you are ready to expand your mind.

He wiil convince you that besides all his other talents, he is also a great writer.

The Truth About Uri Geller
An excellent compendium of scientific research into the paranormal powers of Isreali-born psychic Uri Geller. There are papers by respected scientists as well as magicians who describe many of Geller's feats, such as deforming and breaking spoons and forks without using magic tricks, permanently deforming several pieces of nitinol wire, telepathy, and producing apports. If the only thing that you've ever read if Geller has been James Randi's overly-biased books, check this one out and find out the truth; you'll be convinced!

Riveting First-Hand Account of Amazing Phemonena
This autobiographical account of Uri Geller's young adult years (from his birth in 1946 up until 1975) describes how he first noticed that spoons would bend in his hand, watches would speed up, and broken watches would start working again. Uri traces the cause of these unusual powers back to a very strange incident when he was just three or four years old, playing in an Arabic garden near his childhood home in Tel Aviv, and encountered a spacecraft which blocked out the sun with its own intense light.

Thanks to caring teachers, friends, and family members, Uri's talents for knowing what people were thinking and doing all kinds of psychokinetic "tricks" were understood to be very real, if also quite inexplicable. Scientists from around the world such as Edgar Mitchell, Russell Targ, and David Bohm studied Uri Geller, and through a series of rigorously scientific tests, proved to their own satisfaction that these phenomena were indeed repeatable and not the result of trickery.

I am especially interested in the phenomena described in Uri's first-hand account, because it so closely matches things I have experienced in my life. If you have experienced things appearing, disappearing, transforming or transporting, or have an interest in reading accounts of others who have experienced this, please visit my realityshifters.com site.

I give this book my very highest recommendation!

A beautiful invitation to harness the power of the mind
Author and world-famous psychic and spoon-bender Uri Geller has written a visually stunning and thought-provoking book about how to heal ourselves with the power of our minds. MIND MEDICINE begins without assuming that the reader already has prior knowledge of this subject. Almost every page of this book is graced with beautiful pictures, interesting charts, and fascinating quotations that are relevant to the topic being discussed. Luscious illustrations supplement the elegant simplicity of this wonderfully informative text in such a way that the reader's mind is fully engaged while reading.

The premise of Mind Medicine is that we can and do affect our health with our lifestyles and attitudes... which we can change. Geller advocates judicious use of modern medicine in conjunction with the healing powers of our minds, yet points out that most of us do not fully harness our own healing abilities. We are healthiest when we feel loved and happy -- and this joyous, light energy attracts more good things and people to us. Geller invites us to contemplate what makes us happy, and how free we are to change.

This book is written so simply and clearly that I envision it being a text book for children or adults who wish to learn how to discover what Uri Geller calls MindPower... the higher powers that allow him to bend spoons, locate hidden things, and affect things from a distance. Geller makes his irresistible invitation to us crystal-clear in the introduction to his book, "The mind of every one of us possesses an unimaginable gift and you are about to learn how to use it. Open it now." You'll be glad you did!

How Positive Mind Can Create A Healthy Body
Throughout Uri Geller's career he has advocated the fact that the potential of the mind can be more powerful than most of us are aware of, and in this book he teaches us how we can employ our own "Mindpower" for the benefit of our own health.

From meditation to positive thinking; from dealing with stress to helping us choose the right complimentary therapy, this book final gives clarity to the hitherto confusing theories of how the mind can actually help heal and keep our bodies fit and well.

With numerous soundbites, various exercises and logical and clear references to orthodox medicine, this book is a joy to read, easy to understand and finally clarifies the link between positive thinking and good health.

A superbly inspiring book
I just want to congratulate Uri on producing a genuinely interesting and thought provoking book in Mind Medicine. The style of the book with its pages of large pictures so beautifully stimulating that enhances the content superbly. The content impressed me so much, I immediately tried the meditation process on first day of reading, and I intend to benefit myself fully of the information of the super book. I enjoyed your last book ( Mind Power ) but this one certainly takes the award for content, with its spiritual, mental, emotional positive encouragement directing you to deeper and more meaningful levels. It is just what I wanted having read many excellent psychology books, leading me I believe to go to the next stage involving a more spiritual content and looking inwards. A superbly inspiring book Alan Davidson

A life changing book
As soon as I received the book I could not put it down. I read it within a week. It has some really inspirational things contained in the book. It made me realize that we are all human beings going through of the same things, maybe in different circumstances but we still experience similar things. It helped me to see that my bad traits as well as my good and by looking at the type of personality or cycle I was I could then start making positive changes in my life.

I will always keep this book by my side, for guidance and that little prop when I'm feeling unsure.

Thank you Uri

This Book Can Help You Achieve The Life You Want
Most self-help books promise to change your life for better, but Uri Geller's "Life Signs" delivers what it claims. Unlike most self help gurus, Geller recognises that people have different strengths and weaknesses and avoids the cookie-cutter approach that tells people to act a certain way without acknowledging their individual differences. Best of all, by understanding your personality type, you work with your natural aptitude, not against it. This makes transforming your life an enjoyable experience, not a chore.

The impression Geller creates is that of abundance rather than lack in one's attributes. As he explains, it's no better to be an extrovert than an introvert for example, just different, each with its own set of advantages.. At long last here is a book that tells you what you want to know in doable steps. His down to earth instructions are guaranteed to raise the quality of your life if you follow them. Life Signs takes you on a unique adventure leading to self-discovery and insight into others. This creates better relationships and helps you to reach your goals.

Based on ancient teachings, Uri Geller has developed LIFE SIGNS, using a concept represented by an enneagram, a sybol consisting of a nine-pointed star enclosed in a circle. Mr Geller combines old and new wisdom to describe nine personality types representing all the essential human traits. Each of these nine personalities falls within one of the general personality categories: Feelers, Thinkers and Doers. Life Signs teachers you how to figure out which of the nine types you are through a simple but comprehensive test. This is an enjoyable process. The book offers suggestions on dealing with relationships, financial pressures, improving your physical health, ways to attract wealth and love, just about any issue you are likely to grapple with in your own life.

Uri Geller has demonstrated his extraordinary psychic abilities all over the world. Famous for his amazing mental powers, he is the author of many best-selling books on the human mind. Geller lives outside of London with his wife and two teenage children.

Life Signs works for you because after you gain knowledge of your own nature and can recognise those of others, you can see that big picture that broadens life's possibilities. It's empowering to find out where your strengths lie. You make the most of your talents when you pursue that which you do best rather than struggle with something that is foreign to your nature. This attractively illustrated book carries you through a great adventure that educates you at the same time. Enjoy!
