I gained so much information, some of it surprising, from Joan's book which includes describing the many amazing experiences she and others have had associated with the paranormal. It gave me a deeper insight into this subject and I don't think you'll find another book that covers in depth so many aspects of the paranormal and spiritual side of life. I found it certainly opened my eyes to a new way of perceiving things.
Joan, I have just finished your book. What an apt name for a book full of astonishing facts and experiences. I was overawed thinking of the hours of research you have put in to back up your experiences and grow from them.
The introduction to the book set the scene as we knew it in those times. It brought back the learning I went through and the understanding of many things I gained through it.
The way you used anecdotal evidence to explore the spiritual experiences made this easy to relate to. I have to confess I read the italic comments only in the chapter on astrology (I went to a class about it but just couldn’t get my non-maths brain to take in all that I needed to know. This was made more difficult because the tutor didn’t have enough people to have a beginner’s class on their own so I got lost in the confusion).
As I have been sharing some of your experiences since the 1980’s ( and before if we count the palm reading), I thought I knew you pretty well and goodness me, fancy going out with John all those years ago and not being aware of the experiences he has gone through. Through your personal honesty about situations and experiences I certainly have a greater knowledge of your development and appreciate your gathered wisdom.
I wondered about the religion section when I started but soon realised how the research shows what I had always felt about the church was so tied into the spiritual aspects of your whole book, so accepted that it needed to be there. Your summing up of that chapter lead into where religion and spiritual development is going in the next millennium (?).
Your book clarified my understanding of many spiritual things and while reading it I felt it a privilege to travel on your journey with you. Good luck with the sales.

I recently purchased Joan Boler's book 'The Truth Seeker'. I was amazed at the depth of knowledge, insight and intuition revealed in her book and the degree of research undertaken.
I have known Joan for many years. I met Joan after responding to her invitation for people to join a bush walking group in Sydney. During the time we shared in 'The Happy Wanderers' bush walking group I was impressed by Joan's knowledge on the topics she discusses in her book and her insight into people and realised she was a gifted person. I was not fully aware of the depth of her gifts of experience, knowledge and insight that she reveals in her book.
When Joan revealed that she was in the process of writing a book, I never realised the full extent of what she was planning or the depth of research she undertook to compile the finished product. This explains the length of time from start to finish and the dedication to the task.
I now have a greater appreciation for the many facets of this generous and inspiring woman. My life is richer for knowing Joan and the friendship and guidance she has provided to me over almost two decades. It has made a significance difference to my life and was done in her own none intrusive manner. It all happened without me realising it was happening. The sign of true friendship and insight.
I wholehearted recommend reading her book as I am sure it will hold many keys and insights for everyone who reads 'The Truth Seeker'.
Joan Boler’s book The Truth Seeker is an amazingly comprehensive metaphysical resource book. This book is an A to Z overview of all things metaphysical. Whether you are an old hand in the psychic world or exploring expansive consciousness and all facets of the unseen worlds for the first time - this book is a must have compelling read.
Joan has so thoughtfully and practically sequenced the chapters and sections of her book that all the chapters stand alone and can easily be referred to at any time. I found myself really identifying with the experiences that are in this book and information to be reaffirming and attention grabbing. The balance of science, philosophy, wisdom and case histories present a holistic and extremely scintillating read.
Joan Boler has written a book that is very clear, broad in scope, concise and insightful. Covering and drawing together numerous topics as diverse as magic, reincarnation, chakras and spirituality, life after death experiences, and theology. Joan’s authorship brings to the fore years of skill as a deeply sensitive psychic , teacher and reader.
Drawing on her personal involvement with other life forces, those who have passed on and discarnate entities, Joan lays out her dealings and dramas, with those who live or have lived in other realms.
As a greatly knowledgeable psychic and teacher Joan (in The Truth Seeker), illustrates the depth of understanding of an author sensitive to others’ desire for learning while having the ability to explain different concepts clearly and straightforwardly.
In a crowded market this book stands out as a ‘must have’ for anyone seriously seeking knowledge of the occult or hidden aspects of existence in this world as well as other planes of existence. The Truth Seeker is an excellent starter for beginners and a good companion for the experienced reader of esoteric subjects.
