If you’ve ever wanted to understand more about how karma works in your own life, this is the book for you!
I was introduced to Kevin Todeschi a few years ago by Caroline Myss, and I was instantly amazed at the depth of his knowledge about Edgar Cayce. And why not? Kevin was the Executive Director and CEO of A.R.E. (Cayce’s Assn. for Research and Enlightenment in Virginia), and is the author of many books about Cayce’s groundbreaking life as the first renowned psychic healer in the US— and the father of holistic medicine.
Cayce himself wrote very little besides his “lost” memoirs, but the wisdom and advice in his more than 14,000 readings that were transcribed by his secretary are available in the A.R.E. archives, offer healing advice but also a wealth of insight into karma and reincarnation.
Quoting extensively from these readings, Todeschi helps to clarify the most common misperceptions about karma, which Cayce saw not as an unavoidable destiny but as an unconscious reservoir of information stored in the soul’s memory. Nor did he see it as a form of reward and punishment, but as a way to bring our souls together within our respective families as a means of learning specific lessons and having opportunities for soul growth.
If you’d like to better understand how you may be karmically related to members of your own family, you won’t find a better resource. I bought the audiobook so that I could listen to Cayce’s wisdom over and over, but the print and Kindle eBook serve a similar purpose.
Life is a completely lawful experience because of the universal laws of reincarnation and karma that draw individuals together. Rather than being some type of unavoidable destiny or a fate about which we can do very little, the Edgar Cayce material instead sees karma as essentially an unconscious reservoir of information stored within the soul's memory. Although this memory may draw certain events and individuals to one another, personal free will and the way in which an individual responds to that memory determines her or his actual life experiences. Drawing upon contemporary family relationships, as well as family relationships for…
You likely already know that Paramahansa Yogananda’s classic Autobiography of a Yogi was the only book Steve Jobs had on his iPad, and that he had copies of the book given to all those who came to his Stanford memorial service. But Jobs was not the only genius tech entrepreneur to love that book.
Rizwan Virk is a bestselling author, entrepreneur, venture capitalist, and video game designer, among other distinctions. I both loved and felt challenged by Virk’s earlier book, The Simulation Hypothesis, in which he posits that AI, quantum physics, and Eastern mystics all agree we are living in a video game!
But his take on Yogananda’s great work is even more astute, bringing out his many ancient lessons on karma, yoga, and meditation, and reinterpreting them for the modern age of YouTube, video games, iPhones, and social media.
Best of all, it may inspire you to read Yogananda’s Autobiography—or to go back and read it again.
"[Wisdom of a Yogi] is a feast for seekers, a book to explore and revisit..." —Publishers Weekly
"Riz brings his scientific mind to the heart-centric subject of the spiritual search, revisiting classic tales from Autobiography of a Yogi for the modern world. Wisdom of a Yogi is a book with heart, mind and spirit!" —Dannion Brinkley, international New York Times bestselling author of Saved by the Light
"Riz Virk's inspiring book of Insights into Yogananda's great classic has moved me deeply and brought me the excitement of new discoveries. The lessons he has crafted and the wisdom he has brought…
What if consciousness doesn’t come from the brain? What if it’s the other way around?
Top-flight Canadian UFO researcher Grant Cameron turns his analytic lens toward the strange, discomfiting world of PSI phenomena—telepathy, clairvoyance, near-death experiences, mediumship, and more.
I’ve enjoyed Cameron’s other books on the UFO phenomenon (my fave is: UFO Sky Pilots: Pilots of Peace and Oneness, in which he interviews humans who were taught by ETs to fly their saucers telepathically)
But The Big Game challenges our natural skepticism about mind over matter. He explores the elusive connections among channelers, remote viewers, near-death experiencers, and out-of-body travelers to reveal why their stories are so similar.
From ancient spiritual insights to modern consciousness research, this book uncovers the emerging blueprint of a deeper, stranger reality—one in which the soul survives death, intention shapes experience, and we’re all way more interconnected than we realize. The veil is thinning, indeed, and rapidly.
(I do not recommend the audiobook version as it is read by “virtual voice” and pronounces a word like “psilocybin” as SIGH-low-SIGH-bin.)

Some 40 years ago, I left behind the mainstream Christian religion in which I was raised because I came to believe it provided only a limited understanding of God and the spiritual life. I became fascinated by, studied, and sometimes practiced other spiritual traditions—which eventually led me to write Circles of Belief. In it, I sought to provide accessible outlines of the basic beliefs of the world’s major religious traditions, as well as many fascinating spiritual beliefs and practices that are not limited to any one religion.
And so, alongside in-depth chapters on each of the world’s six major belief systems (Hinduism, Buddhism, and Taoism in the East; Judaism, Christianity, and Islam in the West), I included two comprehensive chapters exploring alternative beliefs and practices, including: channeling and mediumship; near-death experiences; after-life communications; reincarnation; and other evidence suggesting that human consciousness continues beyond physical death.
