5.0 out of 5 stars A timeless tale of cosmic intersections in a remarkable life.
Reviewed in the United States on December 29, 2014
Verified Purchase
If you are interested in the life of Uri Geller, start here — this contains really fascinating stories from the early life of Uri as told by a researcher working with him. The UFO stories and suggestions of cosmic intelligences at work in his talents alone are worth the read and setting the stage for the years to come. The stories gain great credence with the likes of former NASA Astronaut and highly man of science Edgar Mitchell (who went to the moon on Apollo 14) appearing with some amazing tales of working with Uri.

Though this book was written in 1974, it is as compelling as when it was freshly published. The author's need to verify scientifically and his willingness to express his doubts and need for proof offer the needed background and evidence for the remarkable life of Uri Geller.

4.0 out of 5 stars This book and Secret Life of Uri Geller, CIA masterspy are the best books to read about the phenoma that was Uri Geller
Reviewed in the United States on July 12, 2016

This book explains far more about Uri than his own book. Much more information about the sentinel event in Uri's life and all the manifestations that happened around Uri. This and the book "Secret life of Uri Geller, CIA Masterspy" about Uri are both excellent and worthwhile reads. Puharich like Uri never talks about the CIA and his own intelligence involvement so I am glad that the other book did because you wouldn't realize they both were involved with various intelligence groups. This book is about Uri and Puharich and the time they spent together and Puharich's theories about how Uri's powers worked. I don't believe Uri was comfortable with the UFO aspect of his own story which Puharich likes to tie in with the 9. Uri's book has the photos, this book has little of that but much much more explanation and detail about what Puharich did and what happened with Uri.

Always heard the wierd stuff about Puharich and the Nine and this book gets into some of that. It seems to me that alot of the taping Puharich did with the 9 is done through Uri or another trance subject who is totally unaware of what the 9 have said during the trance and since the 9 always, except once, dematerialize the tapes, you have to wonder how much Puharich embellished or lied or pushed his own agenda about the 9. No proof few witnesses. Few tapes. The 9 make demands of Puharich and Uri and their friends sending them all over Europe, the US ,Israel, and the middle east to prevent a 3d world war. We didn't have a world war so the 9 were successful or they were manipulative con artists a la Passport to Matagonia and John Keel's books. However, if the President of the European Union talks with aliens why shouldn't Puharich and Uri do the same.?Puharich, Uri, et al are like trained monkeys going wherever the 9 tell them to go, to meditate, pray, travel and circumambulate around the map. doesn't make much sense to them or the reader, more a leap of faith or frank manipulation. It isn't surprising that Uri dumped the 9 and went his own way "fed up with the clowns". Unlike Uri who found the 9 bizarre, Puharich was obsessed with and always on board with whatever the 9 told him to do. Puharich prays and meditates for 36 hours straight, 40 per the 9's request similar to the children in Fatima complying with Our Lady's request for them to pray to alleviate WW2, only Puharich et al are now preventing world war WW3.
Except for the 9, Puharich comes across as a sane nice sincere man in this book and he sounds credible on tape, quite the opposite of the more sinister rumors about his space kids and his supposed mk ultra role with children and young teens in the faraday cage he had on his estate in Ossining. Puharich treated Uri well since Uri was a superstar and a rare trance medium for the 9. Some of the space kids don't have anything nice to say about Puharich but found their episodes in the Cage abusive, Puharich treating them as expendable lab rats, and dropping them when he didn't need them anymore. Complete opposite to how Puharich portrays himself with Uri in this book. There is so little information about this episode in Puharich's life which occurred before, some during, and after his association with Uri. It is not covered in this book or Uri's. You'll never know the truth.
Puharich is an interesting man in his own right and he claims to have split water into hydrogen and oxygen as a free energy source later in life which got him in trouble with Rockefeller. This is not covered in this book but you can read about it on the internet and see a video about Puharich's research with water through Puharich's son's internet site.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fasten your seat belt!

This is a book written by a scientist about the psychic Uri Geller. Absolutely amazing and very well written...interesting, engaging and mind opening. This book will really stretch your mind, some of the events described in this book are so unusual, that the uninitiated will find impossible to believe, but if you have some insight and experience into the paranormal or into yourself, you will love it! I couldn't put this book down. Telepathy, telekinesis, aliens...its all in here. Is it true? You decide what enters your reality - there is a great chapter where they experience parallel realities.
If you are a skeptic, this book is not for you - too far into a future mindset for you -, if you are a believer or knower, you will love it.

Read this book many many years ago, lent it out and never seen it again. I just bought it again, This book changed my life in the 70. I started to realize that there is more to life then meets the eyes. Since then I have gotten into all kinds of far out real stuff. I took many classes in Physic stuff like Sylva mind control etc etc now give classes on Meditation,Healing with the mind, Pyramid power. ETC ETC. I don't charge anything. This book is a mind opener. Believe it or not! It's up to You!

If you read this book, do yourself a favor and also read 'The Truth About Uri Geller' by James Randi, which systematically exposes Geller for the total fraud that he is.

5.0 out of 5 stars Out of this world.
Reviewed in Canada on September 13, 2014

I read this book in the late 70's and it opened my mind up to the possibilities inherent in us all. In the ensuing years I'd forgotten how 'electic' the book was: I knew it had UFO-like contacts from a craft called SPECTRA (which is the equival;ent of of 'spirit'), the point of which was to avert World War III in late 1971, and some communications from The Nine. What I'd forgotten is that this book documents the incredible leaps of ability that Uri Geller went through as a result of being tested by Andrija Puharich and his associates.

If you want to read a book as absorbing as anything written by John le Carre, please find a copy of this one. You'll be on the edge of your seat for the whole time.
