    James Van Praagh Espíritos Entre Nós 2009 Sextante SUMÁRIO INTRODUÇÃO 7 Um Infância cheia de espíritos 11 Dois Deixando o corpo 20 Três Curso básico sobre espíritos 37 Quatro Mortos e vivos49 Cinco O mundo dos espíritos 61 Seis Tudo é energia 82 Sete Como os espíritos se comunicam 105 Oito Alguns viram assombração 121 Nove Para fazer contato 139 Dez Proteção 162 Onze Uma vida iluminada 182 AGRADECIMENTOS SOBRE O AUTOR INTRODUÇÃO Você está lendo este livro porque tem muita curiosidade sobre os espíritos, a comunicação com eles ou a vida após a morte. O interesse por esses assuntos é enorme nos dias de hoje. Um número cada vez maior de pessoas deseja ter conhecimentos aprofundados sobre o tema. Acredito que a sociedade evoluiu espiritualmente, a ponto de abandonar noções pré-concebidas e de abrir a mente para entender a verdade sobre o mundo que chama de espiritual. Quando o meu primeiro livro, Conversando com os espíritos, chegou ao topo da lista dos mais vendidos do jornal New York Times, em 1997, foi considerado um verdadeiro fenômeno editorial. Sua modesta tiragem de 6 mil exemplares subiu rapidamente para 600 mil nos dois meses seguintes. Atribuo o início desse sucesso à minha participação no programa de entrevistas Larry King Live, do canal CNN, no dia 13 de dezembro de 1997. Foi a primeira vez que um médium apareceu como convidado no programa de Larry e que mensagens vindas dos mortos foram transmitidas para uma audiência internacional. As linhas telefônicas ficaram congestionadas enquanto eu estava no ar, e as pessoas continuaram ligando dias depois da transmissão do programa.

  • Jose Alvarez
    Jose Alvarez THE KITCHEN In 1988, Jose Alvarez toured Australia channeling the spirit of “Carlos,” a 2,000-year-old shaman who held forth on Atlantis, “corrected” the date of Jesus’s birth, reported on the movements of UFOs, and divined other sundry matters before capacity crowds at the Sydney Opera House. In the voluble tradition of fundamentalist televangelists, healers, and cultish gurus of all stripes, Alvarez charismatically staged the visionary with the help of his mentor James Randi, himself a debunker of paranormal phenomena, who also appears in the recent video Dejeuner Sur Le Dish, 2007, playing chess with Carlos; besides conducting séances, Alvarez peddled vials of tears and potent crystals and proliferated his message via the mass media. But even stranger than Alvarez’s initial hoax was the fact that scores of people were persuaded by it. Indeed, so convincing was his act that its influence survived its debunking. In laying bare the structure of such presentations, Alvarez counterintuitively reaffirmed the possibility of conviction. Even though the aim of his deception was ultimately to enlighten, Carlos’s moral is that people believe against their better judgment in matters of both lesser and greater consequence. Taking this as axiomatic, Alvarez’s first New York solo exhibition, “The Visitors,” furthered his quasi-sociological research into mysticism and magic. Having quit live performance in favor of video and collage, in this show he expanded upon the promise of his earlier work through a range of media. Placed at the gallery’s vestibule, A Separate Reality, 2007, comments on the spectacle of the earlier communions— eventually executed in Europe, Asia, South America, and the United States, as documentary photographs of Alvarez in Italy and China installed alongside the monitor suggested as well—with Alvarez inhabiting the role of the medium and of the whistleblower in turn: Clips corroborating past Carlos embodiments alternate with others culled from CNN, the Today show, and 60 Minutes, where Alvarez affirms his position as a conceptual artist.

  • I See Dead People: a Look at After-Death Communication
    CHRISTIAN RESEARCH INSTITUTE P.O. Box 8500, Charlotte, NC 28271 Feature Article: DD810 I SEE DEAD PEOPLE: A LOOK AT AFTER-DEATH COMMUNICATION by Marcia Montenegro This article first appeared in the Christian Research Journal, volume 25, number 1 (2002). For further information or to subscribe to the Christian Research Journal go to: http://www.equip.org SYNOPSIS Recent years have witnessed a revival of interest in contact with the dead. Much of this interest is due to the popularity of mediums such as John Edward, Sylvia Browne, and James Van Praagh. Edward and Van Praagh both have popular television shows, and all three have written best-selling books and have appeared on numerous talk shows. Several movies, such as the hit, The Sixth Sense, have also made spirit contact the theme of their stories. Sylvia Browne and James Van Praagh do not practice spirit contact in a vacuum; they have complex spiritual beliefs spelled out in their books and expressed on talk shows. While Edward claims to be Roman Catholic, Browne and Van Praagh have openly rejected orthodox Christianity and embraced a nonjudgmental God more tailored to New Age beliefs. Edward, Browne, and Van Praagh all have backgrounds that include heavy psychic experiences as well as research into the occult and psychic worlds. Skeptics have denounced these mediums and attempted to expose them as frauds. This raises questions: Are all mediums frauds, and can we be sure that they are? Is it possible that some mediums may be receiving information from a demonic source? Is the classification of mediums as frauds a helpful response? Despite seemingly being debunked by skeptics, mediums still generate strong interest.

  • Cults and Cosmic Consciousness: Religious Vision in the American 1960S
    Cults and Cosmic Consciousness: Religious Vision in the American 1960s CAMILLE PAGLIA 1. eclipse by politics Commentary on the 1960s has been mas- sive. Law and politics in that turbulent decade are well doc- umented but remain controversial, and the same thing can be said of contemporary innovations in mass media and the arts. One major area remains ambiguous or poorly assimi- lated, however—the new religious vision, which for a tanta- lizing moment in the American sixties brought East and West together in a progressive cultural synthesis. Its promise was never completely fulfilled, for reasons I will try to sketch here. But the depth and authenticity of that spiritual shift need to be more widely acknowledged. A political model currently governs interpretations of the sixties because of the enduring reform movements born in that period, including environmentalism, feminism, and gay liberation. Their mobilizing energy, as well as the organiza- tional style that would also be adopted by antiwar protests, initially came from the civil rights movement sparked by the us Supreme Court’s 1954 decision declaring segregation in public schools unconstitutional. In that crusade, it must be remembered, ordained Protestant ministers such as Martin Luther King, Jr., played a leading role, as they also had in nineteenth-century abolitionism. The civil rights movement, with its hymns and anthems, appealed not just to secular standards of social justice but to a higher moral code. An expanded version of a lecture delivered on 26 March 2002 at Yale University, sponsored by the Institute for the Advanced Study of Religion at Yale.
