Crossing Over, by John Edward

May 18th, 2009 | By Fiona Broome | Category: By or about psychics

Reading Crossing Over by John Edward is like sitting down with Mr. Edward and listening to one fascinating story after another.

I’ve admired John Edward since I first saw him on TV.

There’s a certain way that real psychics talk. It’s like they’re physically here, but — in a way — they’re talking to us through two tin cans and a string, while they’re spiritually visiting with the other side.

John Edward is one of those people.

Aspiring and novice psychics — and a few imitators — speak entirely from this side, articulating what they think they perceive. They’re looking for approval, cues or confirmation from the listener. Some of them try to mimic the way that skilled psychics speak, but… well, it sounds different.

It’s a very fine point, and it may be best perceived by people who regularly work with (or as) psychics. If you know what I’m describing, you know this is something that separates John Edward from his imitators.

That said, whether you’re a fan of John Edward or not, I think you’ll find something (and hopefully many things) interesting in this book.

Frankly, I’m a geek. So, when John Edward began explaining Rupert Sheldrake’s theory of morphogenetic fields, my interest was engaged. This theory could extend to what we call ‘residual energy hauntings’.

But, this book has something for everyone. John Edward talks about people he’s helped — and the quirky results — as well as his own journey as a psychic.

John Edward’s engaging writing style, his humor and the wide range of topics in this book make it a page-turner. It’s one of the best books I’ve read, for affirming your innate psychic gifts as well as confirming that life — and love — continue after people cross over.

As he says, “Hearts stop. Souls survive.”
