Years ago, early '80's, I read a brilliant book, which I have never forgotten...but sadly, I have forgotten the title
As I recall, it was about a man whose daughter had been 'snatched' by some sort of 'being' and the man had to learn how to do things with his mind, in order to rescue his daughter. He had to start with some monks - possibly Bhudist - who taught him how to blow out candles, using the power of his mind... I.e. imagining a gust of wind blowing out the candle. He then had to go on and master other 'skills' until he was ready to fight the 'being'. The only other thing I can remember was that the man's soul was attached to his body by a sort of vapour trail and he had to break the trail of the 'being' to get his daughter back.
Anyone? Would so love to read it again as I cannot remember what happened in the end!
Than you
