5 Flames - Collector's Treasure
With
a heart warming prologue by Kathryn Falk, who gives an in-depth glimpse
of the way we can be led to claim our psi abilities, this book starts
off with a powerful vignette of paranormal experiences, followed by an
insightful introduction of the paranormal by Melissa Alvarez. The true
stories that follow are a wide range of experiences and personal
revelations about the unknown.
High
Planes Drifters by Rob Riser.
Several short vignettes of ghostly encounters and an excellent
depiction of what it is really like to live with ghosts on a
day-to-day basis. This sole male point of view of the other side
within this collection contrasts with those of the female intuitives
by contemplating quantum physics and other scientific probabilities
and theories as possible explanations of the paranormal. I was glad to
see this male point of view included in the collection. These are
intriguing theories and remind us that the scientific community is
still attempting to understand the paranormal. Even without such
explanations, Mr. Riser is quite comfortable with his encounters of
the paranormal and accepts them as real. My favorite story was when he
was a teenager and bravely faced a ghostly showdown with the resident
spirits. Insightful and contemplative.
Call
Me Angel by Mimi Riser, is a
potent story about how an angelic being, not only saved her from
unjust treatment, but helped guide a decision that altered her and her
husband’s lives by taking a new path towards a positive change. This
true story reminded me very much of the former TV series, Touch By An
Angel. I had confirmation chills while reading this one. Divine and
inspiring.
As I read these accounts of such very
personal and moving experiences, I was humbled by each author’s
willingness to share her or his truth. I cried, laughed and was deeply
moved by each account of a connection, a brush or a visit with the
paranormal. I could relate to their stories, comparing to my own
encounters. The authenticity of each story rings clear and left me with
a feeling of hope and the possibility of a better future.
The final story by Melissa Alvarez sums
up why it is some people can see these other dimensions and why some
people can’t and to help those who might not be familiar with some of
the metaphysical terms, she has thoughtfully included a glossary of
terms.
To say this is a great read almost feels
disrespectful to these authors who laid out their innermost secrets of
encounters with the paranormal. I know from personal experience to
declare such events and happenings publicly is not something one does
lightly or without a great deal of soul searching. And these are truly
stories from these authors’ souls.
Whether you are a novice and just
beginning to discover your own intuitive abilities or someone who has
walked the path and discovered your own truths, there is something in
the pages of this amazing collection of true paranormal tales for every
one. And, I mean everyone regardless your age, gender or level of
development. It is this kind of book that opens new doorways of
understanding and empowers others to step out of their hiding and put
away the fear of being ridiculed because these authors have paved that
path for all to follow. Each author needs to be thanked for being such
brave souls and sharing their spiritual truths. This is a book everyone
needs to read. It is a book destined to be known, recommended and loved
by all who read it now and for many years to come.
