Summary: Pioneers
Review: Harold Sherman was a researcher on the subject of ESP, and has written many books in his writing career. He earned his living by writing many football books for kids up to around 1950s. In the meantime, he was using himself as an experiment to research on ESP and power of mind.

He was not born with any unusual psychic abilities, yet with practice and research, he was able to tune his mind to read people's thoughts. I know a friend who knew Sherman in his later years, and said that Sherman could read people's thoughts, make coincidences happen, and several other ESP abilties. Sherman believed that ESP is something we all have, and that with practice we can use it more often in our life.

This book was written in the 1930s, after Sherman did a pioneering long-distance telepathy experiment with Sir Hubert Wilkins. Wilkins went to the North Pole to search for missing Russian pilots, while Sherman stayed in New York. Sherman will daily receive thoughts about Wilkin's feelings, thoughts and conditions, and write them on paper. The reports were submitted to several testifiers of the experiement so that the reports cannot be changed once submitted. There were no telephones, and when Wilkins returned to USA to show his report and diary, an amazing 80% of Sherman's 'readings' of Wilkins adventure was accurate! This was such big news then that it was published in newspapers in those days.

Sherman has good techniques to help you train your mind to do this. And with practice, it gets easier and better. If you are interested, also get his book "You Can Make ESP Work For You", which describes his lifetime of adventures with ESP, which saved his life many times.

Also recommended is Ernest Holmes' "Science Of Mind". It was Sherman who opened up my mind about such powers within our mind, and Ernest Holmes' Science of Mind further strengthens the practice and theories. The difference between Sherman and Holmes is that Sherman believed in minds, while Holmes theory of One Mind which is everywhere at all times(what people call God) really explains how it works.
