Epeolatry Book Review: Timeless Trinity by Bruce Olav Solheim, Ph.D

“The paranormal is normal and the supernatural is natural.”  Timeless Trinity, the third in a series of books that share Dr. Solheim’s lifelong paranormal adventures, reads as if the paranormal is perfectly legitimate and not up for debate.  He speaks my language.

Telepathy, clairvoyance, ghost encounters, hauntings, spirit walks, quantum worlds, UFO’s – all are represented in this book, raw and uncut.  It flows like a novel with the main character’s other worldly experiences morphing him into who he is.  Even if it were fiction, I would suspect that at least some of the incidents happened to the author.  By page 5, I was eager to read the other two Timeless books.

I relished the astounding details of the author’s hypnosis sessions with world-renowned hypnotherapist, Yvonne Smith.  We’re piloted through multiple alien abductions.  While I read about these creatures and wondered whether they were benevolent, a feeling of helplessness settled into my core.  Telepathic communication, high voltage currency coursing through his body, paralysis, questioning “why” and being told, “You don’t need to know.”  Though I was apprehensive to read on, I couldn’t stop.

The majority of Timeless Trinity focuses on UFO’s and aliens, aliens who are some of the author’s Spirit Guides.  He is endowed with psychic abilities.  Perhaps we all are, until we advance past toddlerism, and then prejudice and judgement eventually close our minds.  The logical world impresses upon us that there are no such things as ghosts, and so on and so forth…  

As a society, we’re led to believe that only those psychically gifted persons who have made it to the televised limelight, or have become larger-than-life personalities on the internet, are the only ones able to communicate with spirits.  “There is no reason to fear death because we’re timeless,” Solheim writes.  A truth I believe.

Some chapters veered into witchcraft, the California State Military Reserve, and school shootings.  I was in full throttle UFO mode at that point in the book. Then the UFO’s were gone for a couple chapters (save for an occasional quick-hit mention).  Darn it!  If the purpose of those chapters was to provide insight into Solheim’s experiences, it wasn’t needed.

A few asides strayed from UFO and psychic experiences, but it made for interesting trivia, like the research on cat and dog behaviors, and that of cat people and dog people.  His passage in the Sajajid chapter gave me pause as he reflected on his military experience—he got me thinking how modern culture continues its decline into desensitization.  The “Snake Eyes” chapter freaked me out.

I thoroughly appreciated Solheim’s thoughts on what he calls “historical amnesia” in the “Thinking in Time” chapter, as well as his unbiased references to George Orwell’s novel, 1984.  He opines to the masses on the sensical truth in honoring history—the good and the bad—with a warning that “…we must be careful using history because we can’t impose our thinking and beliefs on those in the past, for they lived under a different set of circumstances and a foundation of existence unique to their time.” 

Solheim’s experiences illuminate his Big Picture; he imparts this timeless wisdom to his readers.  Somewhere between complacency and panic is a good place to be, according to him.  I was there as I read Timeless Trinity.  Well worth my time.
