This
is
an
overview
of
information
about
the
ouija
board. Hunt
reports
that
in
a
recent
survey
he conducted,
30%
use
the
ouija
board
to communicate
with
the
dead,
the same
percentage
to communicate with
the
living, and
the remainder
to develop psychic ability or as a means
of
guidance.
He
gives
some
case
histories
illustrating
that
using
the
ouija
board can be
both
helpful
and
dangerous.
Well-known
cases discussed are Jane Robert’s Seth and
the
Toronto
"Philip"
group
experiment.
He
discusses
auto-
matisms as the inducers of psychosis and as a
cure. An
in-
terview with Barbara Honegger
is the subject
of one chap-
ter.
The
last
chapter
is
entitled "How
to
Get
the
Best
Results from Your Ouija Experiments."

The emphasis
here
is on the
role faith
plays
in
heal-
ing and
that
we
are
personally
responsible
for our
state
of
health.
There
are
several
chapters on
faith.
Jackson
examines
the
nature
of
faith, unconscious
factors
in
faith,
conscious processes
in
faith, and super-conscious expressions
of
faith.
There
is
a
chapter on
innate
faith
and
one
on
faith
that
is
achieved.
Most
relevant
to parapsychology
is
Chapter
10,
"Mystical
Illumination
and
the
Super-healthy
Person." Here he
discusses
the
level
of
faith
that
employs
"the
higher
levels
of
consciousness
for
its
purposes."
He
classifies
the
phenomena
related
to
the
superconsciousness
in
three
categories: the
psychological,
the
psychic,
and
the
parapsychic.
It
closes
with
a
section on
the
cultivation
of
revealed
truth. The
final
chapters deal
with
cultivation
of
a life-affirming
attitude.

Katz
reports on
his
field
investigation
of
the
ritual
healing
dance
of
the IKung. The
rituals
arc
described
in
detail,
and
he
shows how
they
are
perceived
at
the
ex-
periential
level
through
interviews
with
participants;
he
traces the
role of healing
in the
healers’
lives
and
in
the
community
as
a
whole, and
he
presents a
sociological ana-
lysis
of how
the form and
function of
healing
are shaped
by the character of
the IKung social
order.
The
book
grew
out
of
a
request from
the IKung
to
"tell
our
story
of
healing
to
your
people."
The
talks
of
four
IKung
healers
are
the
heart
of
the
book. Of
special
interest are
four
chapters, "At
a
Healing Dance,” "Educa-
tion
for
Healing,"
"Career
of
the
Healer," and
"Psycho-
logical
and
Spiritual
Growth."

about how

It
discusses what
