The Others Within Us

Internal Family Systems, Porous Mind, and Spirit Possession

By: Robert Falconer

Narrated by: Andrew Baldwin

Sparked by an Internal Family Systems (IFS) client’s lifelong affliction with an unattached burden— something in her mind that was not part of her—Bob Falconer began a decade-long study of the others within us and how they are treated worldwide. This study is important to all of us because what it reveals about the nature of mind holds a key to healing our underlying alienation and isolation.

The Others Within Us includes:

• case studies
• a detailed description of how to work with unattached burdens from an IFS perspective
• an extensive survey of how people have worked with the others within in times past and in many cultures around the world.

The journey Bob has taken goes to the farther reaches of human experience. It has revealed insights and understandings that can't help but cause readers to expand their beliefs about the nature of mind and healing.

Super interesting and important topic

Like the exploration into other cultural and spiritual beliefs. The psyche and the universe is full of a lot of things we don’t know.

An experience I highly recommend

Listening to this book felt equivalent to spending time with Bob Falconer. The narration is excellent and captures the essence of Bob incredibly well. Each time I listened I came away with self energy and clarity. I had already read the book in hardcopy, and listening to it brought it to an entirely new level for me.

Excellent and Thorough

This well researched book is a must read for all interested in IFS. Loved it.

An Encyclopedia of Knowledge on Spirit Possessions

This book is an encyclopedia of knowledge on spirit possessions. I learned so much about different cultures and their religious practices. I was blown away by the Advanced cases shared by the author near the end of the book. This book is not for the faint hearted and the author's passion for his work clearly shines through. Thank you for the 10 years of research that went into this book. It's IFS to the Nth degree!

Challenging material

The text of this book was fascinating and helpful to my line of work. I will take a lot of what I learned with me. I have already recommended this book several times.

I will not, however, recommend the audible version. The narrator read the book with entirely too much subjective interpretation. Words like "tooootally, sooooo, maaaajor" and such were read as if he were channeling a teenage girl from 1985. Just read the words on the page. There are several other books this narrator has done for audible that I would like to listen to, but I can't do it again. Awful narration.
