[Faith Cantrell · Rating 5 out of 5]

This book brought me back in time, quite literally, to books from a time past not too long ago. Books from the 70s through the 80s that traveled through worlds searching for answers to psychic phenomena and mysticism long before the internet was available to insist upon answers, persuading us to think the same without question or face consequence. I often long for the tales of person-to-person story collectors and research gathered by long-forgotten books in late-night library stays. This in itself is a version of Retrocognition quilted with a comforting nostalgia. What always strikes me when reading older books in this realm is how much thought was put into the possible, in contrast to today’s world of red-lettering the impossible. The author is reaching out from the past and pulling us back into the space of possibility. It is a reminder of all the things that can develop in an open mind and those possibilities that cannot when there is no space to present them. Instead of thinking about how individual time travel isn’t possible through the mind… this book proposes all the ways it could be possible through stories and thoughts that are not internet-generated or curated for likes. An authentic book asking questions and telling stories without fear.
