REVIEWS

Dan Bogey, Library Journal -
Collection Development Series in the Occult and Parapsychology

In a series of anecdotes [the author] describes his experiences with clairvoyance, psychokinesis, and psychosomatic healing.

Noelle Denke, The Light Connection
The book is full of personal narratives, true stories about real people whose names have not been changed. They are stories about the optimal possibilities of human experience as shown by people who have become healers, shamans, psychics, and mystics. This book is for anyone who is willing to practice and accept the necessary risks and responsibility.

Mary L’Heureux, Ph.D., Vice-President, International Council of Metaphysicians
Reading MAGICIANS OF THE SOUL is a truly magical experience. What great fun to take part in Dr. Orcutt’s fascinating adventures with the mystical and paranormal and to come to a greater understanding of these universal mysteries as well.

NOVEL
COLLATERAL KARMA
Collateral Karma opens as Rickshaw Lubowski (formerly Bob Kramer in Jamayah), has ditched the Path of Return in search of more tangible things - like sex, drugs, occultism, and sorcery. As a result, he falls victim to a curse cast by an evil leader of a ceremonial cult who practices ritual sex and black magick. Rickshaw’s descent into the world of sensation and desire incurs mysterious nightmares all too real, starting with the obsessively expected death of his new fiancé. Seeking help wherever he can find it, Rickshaw meets a blind fortuneteller who seems to know more about his destiny than anyone should. While fighting for his life and the life of his friends, our hero realizes all too late the bad karma of his ways. Only when Rickshaw loses touch with reality, when his loved ones and Jamayah face almost certain death, does his mentor appear. Together, they join forces with shamanic sorcerers in an attempt to reverse the deadly curse.
JAMAYAH - Adventures on the Path of Return
JAMAYAH is about an “ordinary guy discovering a world that is not so ordinary,” a world qualitatively different from the homogenized perception that glorifies grasping and aversion. Baited by the uncharacter-istic guru, Jamayah, into experiencing the optimal possibilities of human awareness, Bob Kramer bumbles through a series of orientations designed to empower paranormal command and cosmic awareness. His adventures include out-of-body flight, past-life realization, shamanic exorcism, soul-retrieval, lucid dreaming, channeling spirit guides, and Zen golf from a maverick master. Rooting the spiritual adventure are the mundane realities of a strip bar romance, homeless humility and violence, and the horrors of war.
