Doug Boyd Knihy

Rolling Thunder, the subject of this book, is a keeper of tribal secrets-a modern medicine man. After witnessing one of Rolling Thunder's healing rituals at a conference sponsored by the research department of the Menninger Foundation, Doug Boyd decided to open his mind fully to the mysteries of such secret healing powers as might be revealed to him. Boyd's book is an account by a contemporary white man of the inner experience of American Indians, an exploration into what some accept as the "real" world. To the believer or to the skeptic, Boyd's experiences form a penetrating and challenging story of a world that is little known to most Americans.

The book delves into the teachings and extraordinary mental abilities of contemporary mystics, highlighting their unique human qualities and personalities. Through insightful exploration, it reveals how these individuals harness their mental powers and the implications of their teachings on personal growth and understanding.
