Voyage to the Rainbow: Reminiscences of a Parapsychologist

The Author (an internationally known parapsychologist) describes his life of research in parapsychology on training of extra sensory perception (ESP) in hypnosis.

In the first popular part of the book, he describes his experiences with testing professional psychics in many countries (from Russia, Europe, or USA) many of whom turned out to be fraudulent. The description of these trips sounds almost like a travel guide where he speaks of memorable observations of beauties of entire and customs of various nations, and comment on their political systems.

In a dramatic segment of his book he describes his illegal escape (with his whole family) from his communist native country, where the government wanted to use his Para psychological expertise and tried to recruit him as a spy. This segment, reminding the reader of novels about James Bond, the 007 agent, describes how many details of his escaped were predicted, many years before the event, by private (non-professional) clairvoyant. After his escape he took residence in USA and taught parapsychology at America universities, and also for private audiences in Europe.

In the second, more professional, part he describes in more detail special chapters from Para psychological research, such as his method of training ESP in university students, but also in students of the Institute for the Blind where he made experiments which demonstrated that ESP can be used as a replacement of lost vision in blinds.

He discusses also practical uses of ESP, like use in reliable communication, his discovery of "mental Impregnation" (a first discovery in the history of science made first by ESP, and then confirmed in laboratory experiments). Author also extensively describes his findings about the relevance of ESP research for religion, and how research in parapsychology can explain the origin of religious teachings.

As concerns the role of ESP in the future society, he predicts that it will be widely applied in technology, and also improves the understanding among people and among nations. It will then be taught in schools, just as today reading and writing.
