The Conscious Universe: The Scientific Truth of Psychic Phenomena
Holding up such anomalies as ESP, psychokinesis, prayer, near-death experiences, and  reincarnation under the cool light of scientific scrutiny can be a daunting task. Dean Radin, director of the  Consciousness Research Laboratory at the University of Nevada, rises to the challenge in the pioneering  and exhaustively researchedThe Conscious Universe. Fans ofThe X-Fileswill need no  further convincing, but for the remaining skeptics, this easy-to-read mix of history, scientific evidence, and  proclamations ("When modern science began about three hundred years ago, one of the consequences  of separating mind and matter was that science slowly lost its mind.") will authenticate the existence  of psychic phenomena.Radin creates two categories: the perceiving of objects or events beyond our ordinary sense capabilities and  the triggering or influencing of action through mental powers. Radin aims to present simply and clearly the  basic elements from science, psychology, and physics that prove the existence psychic phenomena. Given  the tacit acceptance of psychic phenomena as "real," why do both government and mainstream  science repudiate the claims and the evidence, yet continue to exploit them?The Conscious Universechallenges our most basic assumptions about reality, those that exist in  both the upper echelons of science and in the basic daily interactions. It’s a mind-bending exploration of  how and what we see.--This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
