@ REVIEWS IN TUNE WITH INFINITE POWERS by Tony Talmage CMA Ltd, UK, 2006 ISBN 1-4116-6343-8 (170pp tpb) Availability: http://www.lulu.com f you've ever experienced synchronicities or personally meaningful coincidences in your life—or more of them, the more you give them attention—you'll really appreciate Tony Talmage's foray into metaphysical ter- ritory. A former BBC and national newspa- per journalist, Talmage has been exploring paranormal manifestations for 30 years and has identified common threads linking dis- parate phenomena. Influenced by aspects of Einstein's relativity, quantum mechanics and British "maverick" biologist Dr Rupert Sheldrake's theory of formative causation, he has come up with the concept of "cosmo- genic energy"; by tapping into this energy we learn how to fulfil our true destiny. Talmage is talking evolutionary steps if not leaps here, but he provides some basic concepts which are already well known in esoteric teachings: that the universe is alive with energy; that thoughts have power and longevity in the etheric realms (the negative ones can be "preyed upon" by discarnate entities); and that cosmogenic energy is being put to work in cases of clairvoyance, dowsing, miracles, psychometry and telekinesis and can be "plugged into" for positive (or negative) purposes. His "Devil's advocate" dialogue at the end of some chapters dampens any doubts you may have about the reality of interdimen- sional realms. Talmage gives instruction on how we can access the worlds beyond the physical senses and make it all work for us within the larger cosmogenic field. This means learning how to see the "real you" as the spirit entity that exists within the physi- cal self but is connected to a sea of energy, the Life Force, to which we contribute and from which we receive inspiration. Anyone who has ever realised that the experimenter can't be divorced from the sub- ject will realise that there's a whole other world to be explored and that persistence will expand the frontiers of science. A gold star to Tony Talmage for his attempts in demystifying the territory and making it more accessible and navigable for us. People, Sacred Cows, Science, Modern Madness, Apocalypsis and Paradise of the Philosophers. The selection shows not just what an erudite and witty writer Michell is, but the incisive analysis he can bring to bear on our challenging times. In one essay he can be railing against the bureaucracy that prohibits Stonehenge from being properly utilised as a Druidic temple, and in the next breath siding with the "New Age travellers" who play out their versions of ancient rituals at sacred sites. Or he can be singing the praises of lost Albion, while declaring that the Queen should take up her sacred duty and reinstitute this former Golden Age. The beautiful cover painting of Michell in 1972, by Maxwell Armfield, captures the author as geometer at home in the Albion landscape. In reviewing this book, I read essays at random and according to pet topics and was interested to see many references to Plato, William Blake and the visionary scientist Rupert Sheldrake. Michell's anecdotes can be both wise and scathing and make for absorbing and often amusing reading. paranormal Manifestations Tor 5U years ana has identified common threads linking dis- CONFESSIONS OF A RADICAL d reinstitute this former Golden Age.
