I love the new X-Men movie, about talented teens whose lives are turned inside out when they discover their supernatural powers.The great comic book artist Stan Lee once featured me as a Marvel superhero, so I feel I’m an X-Man too!

Everybody possesses phenomenal psychic gifts.

In the English alphabet, X is the character of mystery. An unknown man is Mr X, X marks the spot for treasure, a secret ingredient is the X-factor. The Greeks knew that mysteries came in two kinds: mysteries of the mind, and mysteries of the world. They are represented by the last two letters of the Ancient Greek alphabet - Psi and Omega. Say them as ‘Sigh’ and ‘Oh-MAY-guh’.) ‘Psi’ gives us words like psychic, psyche and psychology. ‘Omega’ conjures up images of hidden codes and secret societies. The truth is these concepts are two sides of the same coin, symbolising knowledge we don’t possess yet. I can never decide which is more exciting – probing the mysteries of the world around me, or exploring the secrets of my own mind
