*Looks at the rather cute cover* It's the TARDIS! In 1957! The artist was evidently the only person here with precognitive powers.

Ha! Your experience with the hypnotist is strikingly similar to the plot of a movie I watched recently. It was a Mystery Science Theater version of The Undead in which a hypnotist regresses a girl back to her past life where she is about to be executed for being a witch. http://mst3k.wikia.com/wiki/The_Undead Its playable on netflix or you can watch it here: http://retrovision.tv/freevideo/mst3k-the-undead/ Seems appropriate since this site is a bit like mst3k for books.

Homosexuals, Huguenots. What the heck. They all begin with h. Screamingly funny, Mr. Armstrong!

"Lobotomy, anyone?" Thanks, but I'm trying to give them up. Do have one yourself, though. Or a magnesium pill.

You win a prize for pretentious use of the word "sans" and irrelevant linkery. Also for half-wittedly defending a book I doubt you've read.

Are you by any chance the same idiot who took me to task for knocking Mussolini?

Would that the rest of us could live in such a black&white world. Lobotomy,anyone? BTW, please take a look at: http://www.moodfoods.com/magnesium-antidepressant.htm http://www.suite101.com/reference/magnesium_deficiency

This book's a hoot - if it wasn't so alarming. It reminds me of the quacks who took me for lots of money during the nine years my bipolar illness was misdiagnosed. One proposed to "regress" me by hypnosis to a previous existence to enable me to stop myself being burnt at the stake as a witch. Thank God I still had my wits about me enough to say "thanks, but no thanks". And all the Chinese herbs gave me was an upset stomach and a ruined saucepan!

As a sufferer from chronic depression, I needed a lift this morning - and Dr 'Connell' has given me just that. Away with the medication and CBT therapy: it's ESP for me from now on! Dear God. Oy vey.

Sounds very much like old man Hubbard and his nonsense about engrams (memories accompanied by pain) causing most illnesses. Incidentally, Dianetics was written seven years before this book. Could it be that...? Naaaah. Or could it?
