Vision of Vision
Vision of Vision Her response was to ask: -Which book? ? - The Vision of Asia by Crammer-Bing. - I've never heard of it, said Dr.R. This serious and responsible scholar was not joking. Kidnapping Forecast A book foretold the kidnapping and brainwashing of American heiress Patty Hearst. The novel Black Abductor by James Rusk, was published in 1973 and related the events of 1974 with stunning accuracy. Both the kidnapping and the novel share the following features: a young college student named Patricia, daughter of a wealthy and prominent right-wing figure, is kidnapped near her university campus while she is with her boyfriend, who is severely beaten. Initially the boyfriend is a subject in the case. The kidnappers, led by an angry black man, are members of a terrorist revolutionary group. At first the girl is an unwilling captive but later she adopts their ideology and joins the group. In what is termed America's first political kidnapping, the group sent polaroid pictures of the young woman along with messages to her father. The fictional abcuctors predict-as happened in the real abduction-that they will ultimately be surrounded by police, tear-gassed and killed. 4 weeks after the Hearst kidnapping, author Rusk was visited by the FBI. They suspected that either he was in on the planning of the kidnapping or the kidnappers had got the idea from his book. They had difficulty accepting it for the coincidence it was. Apt Authors The Abel Coincidence, JN Chance. The authors of the Imperial Animal, an analysis of human nature are Lionel Tiger and Robin Fox. Shady Gardens was written by Virginia Reed. Book of the Year When Arthur Koestler's The Roots of Coincidence came out in 1972, Kay Dick a Times critic voted it her book of the year, giving the following explanation: I stood at my gate after midnight, looking out to sea, and at a clear starful sky. Suddenly I had a strong feeling that, to use words shaping in my mind, some rays from outer space were streaming through my skull. I wrote this down so impressed was I. The next day I bought... Roots... just published with no prior entention. I read it at once, and came across the description of neutrinos (to me then unknown) and the following quotation by a scientist: -As you read this sentence, billions of neutrinos coming from the sun and other stars, perhabs even from other galaxies, are streaming through your skull and brain. After that who can doubt which is my book of the year. Active Authors Illustrated History of Gymnastics, John Goodbody Your Morning Broadcast Physical Exercises by Frank Punchard.

The International Journal of Parapsychology reported the following eerie experience, which began when Dr. Lawrence LeShan met Dr. Nina Ridenour to discuss his manuscript, which dealt largely with mysticism. Dr. R. is an expert on the subject. As they talked, LeS. took careful notes of her advise and comments, incl. making a list of the books she recommended he read. One of the eight books on his list was Crammer-Bing's The Vision of Asia. He mentally noted her comment on it: -Until you read this you won't understand the difference between Eastern and Western mysticism. It was significant for him, because the difference between the mysticism of East and West was vital to the idea he was exploring. Shortly after their meeting, he checked at two specialized libraries but was unable to find a copy of the book. Later, on his way home, an impulse made him change his usual route, even though he was in ahurry, and he found himself standing at traffic lights in an unfamiliar spot. He glanced down and his eyes was caught by a book lying on the ground. A further impulse made him pick it up: the title leapt from the cover-The Vision of Asia, by L Crammer-Bing. The following day he rang Dr. R. and told her of the strange coincidence that had led to his coming into possesion of the book she had so highly recommended.
