Many books have been written about psychics and psychic powers and their source. This book differs in that it follows the personal progress of one particular person with psychic powers: in this case Uri Geller.
Controversy has raged around Uri since his extraordinary powers first manifested themselves during childhood. Through these unusual powers, he has achieved fame and fortune: but, to this very day, books, articles and verbal debates still rage about his authenticity. These controversies fall into two camps. On one side are those who believe that Uri Geller has genuine paranormal powers. On the other stand those who are convinced that he is a charlatan falsely claiming supernatural powers, suspicious of what their own eyes see and doubting the recorded endorsement of well known scientists who have carried out rigorous tests on Uri in the laboratories of the most reputable scientific and academic institutions in the world.
The problem has been that it is nigh on impossible to measure and assess a non-physical power using physical and scientific measuring rods. It is like trying to listen to music with one’s nose, or trying to see with one’s ears! Matters of the spirit cannot so fa be measured or proven by scientific instruments or methods. To try to do so by insisting on a strictly empirical approach will always, inevitably lead to a dead end and is in the long run, a colossal waste of time.
The key to unravelling the enigma of Uri Geller’s psychic powers lies with a thorough knowledge of yogic science which covers all aspects of psychic phenomena and their underlying causes. This book endeavours to follow the progress of the primordial energy coiled at the base of the spine in every human being—called Kundalini. Throughout a person’s evolution, Kundalini moves gradually up the spine—aiming to reach the brain. As it does so it pierces through seven nerve junctions, whose subtle counterparts are known as ‘chakras’. (Chakra is the Sanskrit word for wheel).
Whichever chakra the Kundalini resides in at any given time reflects the character and personality traits pertaining to that particular chakra and influences the behaviour and thought patterns of the individual concerned. In the case of Uri Geller, his Kundalini seemed trapped half way up his spinal chord. I attempt, in these pages to determine which chakra his Kundalini is residing in. In order to do so, every Chakra is analysed and with its corresponding character and personality trait as applicable to Uri Geller himself.
As it turns out, Uri seems to reflect, very strong characteristics of every Chakra. Telepathic and clairvoyant powers usually begin to manifest themselves in the region of the throat or fifth Chakra.
Any descriptions of Uri Geller’s personality in this book, correspond to and reflect the stage through which he is passing at a particular Chakra. He has the capacity for many of the lower qualities that make up all human beings but also demonstrates the excellent, divine qualities that we are all potentially capable of fulfilling. Having been to India three times with the express aim of studying meditation and Kundalini yoga and the psychological and physical effects of meditation specifically, I came to the conclusion that Uri Geller’s powers were the result of an awakened Kundalini and that they were limited powers, because Kundalini was trapped in one of the Chakras.
I contacted Uri after seeing him appear on television and made it her aim to introduce him to meditation techniques that would help him release his trapped powers, and increase them, as they were in danger of disappearing.
I managed to persuade Uri to attend two aura photographic sessions at Thrity Engineer’s studio in Kew Gardens. Here, one aura photograph was taken immediately after Uri Geller’s arrival, and another was taken after exactly ten minutes of mantra repeating meditation. The first photograph was almost entirely dark, while the second photograph showed a burst of bright light around his head.
As I had hoped, this result persuaded Uri Geller to take up regular practice of mantra meditation. As can be seen from the third interview with him, Uri is extremely happy about the results and has kindly written the epilogue to this book. He is well on his way to full enlightenment, judging from the several descriptions of his new inner experiences, which tally with those of other well known enlightened beings who have written extensively abut the subject. Uri has also declared that he will use meditation techniques and his newly increased energy for helping to heal other people, especially children, and that he will introduce the topic of meditation in his talks when he does his lecture tours.
So we see the rapid evolution of an advanced soul, shedding futile desire for recognition and accumulation of money and self aggrandisement, and emerging as a spiritual force of some magnitude, working for the good of his fellow men and giving God the credit for the energy that works through him. Any difficulties and opposition encountered while endeavouring to get Uri Geller to take up meditation and use his God Given powers the way he was meant to use them, have all been worth while since I achieved my aim; viz; to release his trapped powers and allow him to fulfil his highest potential and to live in the highest state of consciousness. The main reason for writing this book was to put a stop to all the speculation and false accusations of fraudulent activities by all the sceptics and rivals. Of course, all great men in every field, have had their detractors, some of whom refuse to be convinced of anything good, ir anything which cannot be explained by science—but mercifully, there are many who will read this book with a open mind and come to a fuller understanding of the phenomenon that is Uri Geller.
