Purple Fables:

by Ingo Swann

"If a fable is a legendary story of supernatural happenings," Mr. Swann says, "or a narration intended to enforce a useful truth, then these four are fables--which shouldn't be confused with fairy tales targeted only for children. These, then, are tales for kind and loving people of all ages." "The Temple of Sanity" tells of an idea that became a reality and grew into an insitution, only to develop rules and leaders, cliques and critics . . . "A Clay-Modeling Lesson" tells of the four identical boys separated at birth and raised Christian, Jewish, Muslim, and atheist, and how they met as representatives of their respective communities . . . "The Fate and Destiny of a Traveling Clairvoyant" tells of a woman with a special talent, who found that people prefer seeing dimly to seeing clearly . . . "Watcher of the Purple River" tells of an old woman and a young man, and how she taught him to watch the river of life . . . These fables came to Ingo Swann as a gift from a part of He awoke four mornings in a row and literally had to write them. They have in common a gentle wisdom, a kindness, an empathy, that will make them immediately precious--and then unforgettable--to the reader whose heart is open.

Very amazing. Each fable was like Koan. Very very zen. I have spent a lot time reading when I was young Zen philosophy not as a religion but I understand what the goals are in Zen philosophy which are to achieve level of life which is not pain filled; has a purpose and moves toward the positive realm of humanity yet still remaining in the flesh. Some of the parables remind me of the Greek Orthodox monks realization of having a communing with a higher power through tasks that humans can accomplish in this body.
You have to read it. One thing I will tell you which is amazing: he dreamed this book and sat down and wrote it in a short period of time. He prefaces this book with that. This is his only book like this. STRANGE BRILLIANT MIND and very different than any of his other books

These stories explained very well why Remote Viewing has been something that most dare not talk about, out in the open, not yet at least.

But mainstream is slowly opening up, to go more inwards, connecting to the subconscious and to work together more effectively.

I very much enjoyed these stories, multiple times even!
And there aren’t many that keep catching my attention like these did.

Edit:
This helps remind myself why the abilities of remote viewing aren’t commonly accepted (and embraced) yet.

A needed tale

As one becomes captured by the fabric reminiscent in the memory of childhood truths the stories change and become alive each time you read or hear them. Bravo Mr Swann, I hope others find the depth of the meaning I found in each one

Ingo Swann brings us four stories about psychic experiences that are quite different.
