The Powers Latent in Man A minority of psychically gifted people exercises the powers discussed by Dr. Baker in this book, but they are latent in all of us. They include hypnosis, telepathy, psychokinesis and healing. Dr. Baker presents scientific and "mystical" evidence for the existence of these mysterious but natural forces and documents their operation in contemporary society. Amongst the amazing subjects covered are: super-gifted children; auric manipulation for intellectual power, continued youthfulness and mental brilliance, and much more. Dr. Baker's exciting proposition in this book is that the esoteric and occult truths of the ages are being verified by science.
