The H. I. S. S. of the A. S. P.: Understanding the Anomalously Sensitive Person

The H.I.S.S. of the A.S.P. is a provocative examination of consciousness, creativity, and psychic giftedness as exhibited by a cross section of the American populace, everyday people with jobs, mortgages, minivans, dogs, whatever. people like you. Extra-Sensory Perception, UFO encounters, trance channeling, Out Of Body Excursions, Controlled Remote Viewing, Near-Death Experiences, spirit possession, past lives and other transpersonal experiences are explored through David Ritchey's exhaustive, impeccable research.

Might there be identifiable brain structures, hormonal influences or other factors operative in "Anomalously Sensitive Persons (ASPs)," mostly women, that afford them access to a reality more far- reaching than that which is commonly perceived-does a realm exist in which the spirit or soul is every bit as "real" as the physical human body?

ASPness does not come without a price, whether to an Albert Einstein, an Eleanor Roosevelt or a creative member of your family. Ritchey reveals connections to learning disorders, non-right-handedness, coordination difficulties, emotional problems and other conditions that are perhaps a result of a difference in brain development, but that appear to stimulate compensatory mechanisms in ways that can lead to genius. it can also be accompanied by hypersensitivity to environmental stimuli, immune system disorders and various other medical conditions. as a result, the ASP is constantly challenged to find new ways of coping with everyday living.

ASPness could, however, also lead to the next great invention, a lifesaving medical breakthrough, an exceptional artistic production, or a humanitarian solution to many of the world's social problems.

Are you or someone you care about one of these gifted yet challenged people?
