Pic 12: The press (reviews), and the book by the seer Belline.
Sunday paper (2 August, 1959)
"Mr. Belline exposes us to, with a modesty we can only believe is sincere, and with a certainty that we would be ungracious to challenge, this gift of seeing which sustains him."
The Aurora (11 November, 1959)
"A famous seer shares his experiences
"After having foreseen Eisenhower's illness, the Franco/Anglo landing at Suez, the events taking place in Budapest, the events and the results of the match for world championship between Cohen-D'Agata, here is material to make you rethink any idea that seers are able charlatans. There are certainly a share of seers that are like that, but Belline, the author of these accurate and shocking predictions, is not among them.
In a simple book, and using conversational tone, the author relates how he one day had a sudden awakening to his incredible ability to see and predict; he was among those most surprised by this event. He then speaks of the chain of events that led him to become a famous diviner and contemporary master adept. Belline does not seek to convince you. In recalling certain incontestable readings and proofs, he then allows the reader to come to his own conclusions."

Sport and Life (July 1959)
"A passionate book."
Ici Paris (9 June 1959)
"A most moving document."
La Presse (30 June 1959)
"An informative yet troubling document, and a proof of experience."
Cine Revue (12 June 1959)
"An impassioned book."
France-Sunday (12 June 1959)
"The 21st of January, 1959, he wrote in this paper: "The Russians will achieve the first moon landing. The moon suffers from occasional semi-explosions, which are without force due to gravity. The first missiles to land on the moon will explode".
"Belline has many such experiences to relate. Moreover, he has done so, most luxuriously and most eloquently, in a book entitled "How I became a seer". In this book, he discusses how he became a seer, and his first visions and successes, and how he became a celebrity".
