Preface: A Profound Sense of Betrayal
Most of us have lived our lives comforted by reassuring psychological security in God, country and family, believing that each will remain a trustworthy mainstay in our lives. Yet, many of us have also experienced the bitter deceit caused by those who betray that trust in family or patriotic values we hold so dear. We know how deeply it hurts us to be betrayed by any authority figure.
But betrayal by God? No, never!
Impossible you say? Think again. Some of those who pose as God’s representatives on Earth, and particularly those who pose the most publicly and forcefully, are perpetuating the greatest betrayal of them all.

Thus, we have been forced for centuries to deny and suppress those mystical experiences that form our very own spiritual nature. We have been brain-washed into believing this spiritual deprivation is normal and proper. This has created the wide confusion and doubt surrounding everything “psychic” or “metaphysical” or “paranormal,” each in reality an example of suppressed evidence of
