Mainstream science has largely ignored these data because they all defy the traditional model of consciousness as being solely the product of brain chemistry. Building from these experiments Powell constructs a new theory of consciousness. I ntegrating concepts from physics neuroscience and other disciplines she offers an insightful and intriguing explanation of ESP provocatively claiming that the existence of psychic abilities expands our understanding and appreciation of consciousness. Psychic abilities are also consistent with findings in modern For example psychokinesis implies that consciousness is a type of force field while precognition suggests that the past present and future exist concurrently. Eye-opening in its conclusions and exciting in its implications The ESP Enigma will challenge your preconceived notions and expand your mind.
