AMAZING
Ok amazing is kinda a strong word, but as far as understanding goes, this book is awesome. I mean it has everything that you would think to ask and I have read alot of books, but I HIGHLY recommend this one to be your first and I am a pretty tough critic.

Excellent introduction to metaphysics
This is an excellent introduction to the psychic dimension and metaphysics in general.
In part one, the author explores some universal concepts that serve to explain the nature of reality and how psychic awareness is a natural part of that reality. The work of Fritjof Capra, Gary Zukav, Lawrence LeShan, Rupert Sheldrake and Carl Jung is referred to in these chapters and it makes interesting reading.
Part two discusses some of the more common psychic experiences and how to evoke them - through intuition, dreams, meditation and hypnosis. I found the chapters on dreams and dreaming the most interesting. When we dream, our vibrational pattern shifts and we tune to a different spectrum of reality. And if you want to become psychic in a graceful manner, you must allow it to grow out of the practice of meditation.
Part three probes the role of the body, mind and soul in psychic awareness. It discusses the hologram, morphogenetic fields, the conscious, subconscious, superconscious and infinite mind. It also includes a "second verse" to the children's bedtime prayer "Now I lay me down to sleep, I pray the lord my soul to keep" in these words received in trance:
"I thy child forever play, about thy knees at close of day, within thy arms I now shall creep, and learn thy wisdom while I sleep."
Part four provides some experiments for the reader that wishes to venture into this exciting realm, and discusses the ultimate purpose of psychic awareness. It includes planning, dream recording, using a pendulum, mental telepathy, open channelling and cultivating one's spirituality. The book concludes with a discussion of psychic awareness as harbinger of global changes, followed by a bibliography and index.
This is a highly impressive text, dealing with all the relevant aspects of the psychic realm and how to cultivate one's psychic powers. The style is engaging throughout and easy to understand. I highly recommend it as a sensible guide to those who are interested in metaphysics but confused by the large number of disciplines and books available.

One of the best books I ever read
This is really a good book. It gives a very lucid explanation on how amazing intelligence and psychic abilities can be. It covers a lot of material and is written with an holographic overtone. Learn how to awake from hypnosis - as it were a sugar cube in your hands.

Hey Amazon! Fix your typo!
This title should read "Bundling: Its Origins, Progress, & Decline in America". The use of "Its" (without the apostrophe) is correct here, since what is needed is the possessive form of the pronoun "It", NOT the contraction for "It is".

Hey, Amazon! Fix it: it makes you look stupid.

Brilliant examination of levels of existence
For those searching to understand the relationship between the conscious, sub-conscious and super-conscious self, this book is a "must read". Henry Reed takes the reader logically through each state and explains how one works with the other. He does so in a way which any reader can relate in the most personal sense. Then he leads the reader to understand how we can apply our ideals to create the reality and direction we wish for our lives in future. This book made absolute sense to me in my search for spiritual understanding. I have given over 40 copies of this book to friends and acquaintances and it has transformed the thinking of many of them.

An excellent book for creative boys.
In Henry Reed Incorporated, Henry spends the summer months at a relitives now retiered farm. He keeps track of his daily adventures in a "journal", uses his imagination and enginuity to fill his time. Henry begins by comandeering the barn as his base of operation, and opens a buisness selling bait (worms if I recall).His discoveries and sense of intreigue remind the older reader of a time not so long lost, and exsposes the young reader to a world of imaginitive posabilities. This book remains in my thoughts evan after 20 years of reading it, and comes highly recomended to all ages' of 'boys'.

Takes up where "Practical Intuition" leaves off!
I had never read a book about intuition until I read Laura Day's book, "Practical Intuition", which opened the door to this wonderful world of inner wisdom for me. Henry Reed's "The Intuitive Heart" flung the door open wider. His method of doing intuitive readings, which asks you to imagine all of the memories you've ever had in your life being mixed around in your head like numbers inside a lottery machine, and stopping to recall just the right memory to use as metaphor in answer to a question being asked by either yourself or someone else, is simply amazing. I'm really astonished at how easy it is and how a propos the readings are. I enthusiastically recommend this book!

my review of henry reed, inc.
Henry Harris Reed is a kid from Italy that comes to America to visit his aunt and uncle in NJ. The book is his journal of the works and experiences he has in America. In the book Henry starts a research center called Henry Reed Inc. He patched up his old barn and his mini property owned by his mother. He mostly keeps animals. The other main character in the story is a girl named Margaret Glass. The sign on the barn later reads Reed Glass Inc, but only after a long series of events.

When Margaret joined Henry Reed Inc, Margaret and Henry made a deal. The deal was to give Henry two rabbits for the business. The only problem was the second rabbit was missing and had been missing for the past 6 weeks. One-day Henry's beagle Agony saw the rabbit. The rabbit was white as the snow in Aspen. The dog dashed after the rabbit through the whole neighborhood. Eventually the chase led to the grouchy Mr. Apple's lawn and the stamped over a section of his grass. After everything was said and done Margaret and Henry was spying on Mr. Apple. They saw Mr. Apple planting new grass and treating it with much care. What could he be doing?

The Main Moral of the book is never judge a book by its cover. This is because Margaret and Henry thought Mr. Apple was a psycho or something, and really he was just protecting his invention. I really liked this story, i liked because it had alot of action. I gave this book 4 stars out of 5, its not the best book ever but i still would recomend it.

Henry Reed, Inc.
This is the first book in the Henry Reed series.

Henry Reed is a young teen living overseas because his father is an American diplomat. His parents decide to send him to rural New Jersey to spend the summer with his aunt and uncle. Henry fears boredom, but within the space of the first few days, he adopts a stray beagle and meets Midge Glass, who becomes his friend and business partner during this and subsequent summers.

Henry and Midge attempt to start a research company using his uncle's old barn and stray animals acquired along the way, but in what is to become a recurrent theme across the series, roadblocks, most of them humorous, result in anything but a routine venture.

This book, and the subsequent books in the series, are well-written, vivid in their imagery, and brimming with facts hidden in the context of a well-told story. The subject matter is appropriate for pre-teens and teens and there is no objectionable material for parents to be concerned about.

This and subsequent books suffer from an unavoidable culture clash between the period the books were written (this first one was in 1959), and today's faced-paced, electronic environment. Pre-teens and teens will have no trouble with the themes and concepts in the story, but may need to look up some antiquated things (presumably not many teens in today's Princeton, New Jersey know what a sickle bar is).

Highly recommended, but with a caution on the cultural relevance to today's children.

A hilarious book fit to rival Cleary and Blume
Henry Reed, Inc. is the first part of a series of children's books that are sadly underrated and unknown. Henry and Midge are two main characters the reader can truly get to know and fall in love with. The mini-adventures they have in their little pocket of suburbia are just the right mix of realism and absurdity that is sure to delight. Henry and Midge are everyboy and everygirl: ordinary kids who somehow rise above the mundane into the ether of hilarity. Look out Ramona, look out Superfudge -- Henry and Midge are here!
