Your Psychic Soul. Judith Pennington

      Acknowledgments

      I extend infinite gratitude to biophysicist C. Maxwell Cade and humanistic psychologist Anna Wise, whose pioneering research on the brainwaves of meditation and higher awareness has enriched the lives of millions of people. Equal gratitude goes to electronics engineer Geoffrey Blundell for his 1974 co-invention of the Mind Mirror, a unique electroencephalograph that so clearly maps the transformation of consciousness.

      I would also like to thank the clients, students, and research subjects who have trusted me to connect them to the Mind Mirror and guide them into brainwave meditation. Special thanks go to those people whose intimate stories appear in this book. Watching your brainwaves as you received insights, resolved issues, and regained your happiness was an incomparable privilege and honor.

      This book features leading-edge research by the Mind and Life Institute, the Maharishi Institute, the Institute of HeartMath®, the Institute of Noetic Sciences, and private researchers studying the brain, meditation, intuition, and consciousness. Your courage and dedication to truth makes it easier for everyone else to find theirs.

      Special thanks go to Mark Thurston, Kevin Todeschi, John Van Auken, and the late Harmon Bro for their body of research on the Cayce readings and most notably for their books on ESP, the Akashic Records, dreams, and the meditative path to the superconscious. I am most grateful to Edgar Cayce, whose readings and meditation techniques are liberally shared in this book and so effortlessly carry the mind into transcendence. Your spirited work will live forever as a contribution to humanity.

      All of these visionaries worked and are still working on the most important frontier of all: the evolution of human consciousness. We owe them a tremendous debt of gratitude.

      Preface

      All of us have wonderful and amazing stories about our life journeys. I want to tell you a little about mine and what prompts me to use the word “soul,” which so many people equate with religion. “Soul” is really a much more ancient idea, dating back to the earliest people who simply felt its presence.

      Perhaps you, too, could sense the presence of your soul as a young and innocent child. I was aware of being a shimmering, light-filled soul in communion with a sacred presence in nature. While fishing the lazy bayous and rivers of South Louisiana with my loving parents, I felt quiet and happy inside, as if I were one with the land, water, sky, and all living things. I found the same sense of mystical oneness in the colorful, stained glass windows, fragrant incense, flickering candles, and soaring harmonies sung in my neighborhood Catholic church. But due to heartbreaking events within my family, at age fifteen, I drew away from my spirit’s inner peace. After that, I felt lost.

      As I grew older, I knew that something was missing but did not know what it was. Perhaps it was my unconscious longing for mystical union that drew me back one sunny day as I drove to a follow-up appointment with my gynecologist. The doctor had found a large ovarian growth and was concerned enough about it to ask me to return on Monday for a special, more thorough examination. By then twenty-five years old, I left work that day in my red Karmann
