This, the second book in the Beyond Trilogy, expands on John and Katie's experiences and photographs of the orb phenomena covered in their first book. It reveals astounding new photographs and opens up exciting new questions about the whole nature of paranormal phenomena in general.
John and Katie's photographs of orbs, angels and other apparitions have brought them into worldwide contact with other experiencers and researchers: it is from this basis that they now take a major step beyond the visible photographable phenomena, and current New Age notions about orbs, to reveal new insights about the paranormal. Could it be that orbs are the indicators of a wider, "beyond" reality? Is the symbology of orbs as images of oneness, drawing our attention to the most important orb of all: the orb of Earth on which we all live?
Their ongoing photographs, personal experiences, and the amazing synchronistic events they found themselves part of reveal a conscious, purposeful phenomena that can interact with us as individuals, whoever and wherever we are. This inevitably leads to a spiritual perspective that crosses all religious and cultural boundaries, helping us to see that this one blue orb of Earth on which we all live, is greater than all that divides us! Orbs & Beyond is the vital visual link between Beyond Photography, and the forthcoming Beyond Reality.

Orbs and Beyond Katie Hall and John Pickering Sixth Books (John Hunt) 2015, 213 pp., £12.99, p/b. Many readers will have seen images of orbs on various photographs over the last few years, and will no doubt have heard various theories to explain them, including dust on the lens. This book makes it clear that such superficial and sceptical explanations are usually insufficient to explain the range of visual phenomena, which are well illustrated in this book. One of the most interesting features is that the orbs and their appearance seemed to be interactive, responding to human intention and thoughts, sometimes in a synchronistic way. For instance, one guest joked that he would be more impressed if a photograph contained a roomful of orbs, which is exactly what happened on the very next shot. The photographs also seem to show other beings of light - this all points to a hidden dimension of reality interacting with the physical. The authors speculate that the orbs may be symbols of oneness, and they themselves are Unitarians. In terms of theory, they refer to the interesting work on reciprocal systems by Dewey B Larson that posits a universe of motion rather than matter. In any event, there is certainly more than meets the eye to this phenomenon. The book could have done with tighter editing, with errors like lightening instead of lightning and a misuse of the singular and plural of the word phenomenon. It nevertheless gives a fascinating insight into orbs. ~ Network Review , Spring 2015 No 117
