The Sense of Being Stared At: And Other Unexplained Powers of Human Minds
“Rupert Sheldrake’sThe Sense of Being Stared Atwill change forever your concept of the nature of consciousness, not just in humans but in other creatures as well. It expands the reach of perception beyond the physical senses and beyond the constraints of space and time. What emerges is a new vision of human potential based not in fantasy but in cutting-edge science. This will prove to be one of the most important books of the 21st century.” (Larry Dossey, M.D., winner of the 2013 Visionary Award and author of One Mind: How Our Individual Mi)“Rupert Sheldrake has always questioned assumptions and dogmas in science. In this book he explores dormant potentials in all of us. He offers experimental proof of their existence--opening the window to a new science of consciousness.” (Deepak Chopra, M.D., founder of the Chopra Center for Well-Being and coauthor of Super Brain)“Sheldrake has given us a solid body of evidence that our minds extend beyond our brains and ‘our intentions stretch out into the world around us, and also extend into the future.’ We eagerly await the next installment in this scientist’s fascinating studies.” (Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat, Spirituality & Practice, July 2013)“The Sense of Being Stared At And Other Unexplained Powers of Human Mindsbelongs in new age, science and spirituality collections alike, and provides an updated edition sharing the author’s 25+ years of research into telepathy, the power of staring, remote viewing and precognition...From the social roots of telepathy to how our minds extend beyond our bodies, this is a fascinating survey highly recommended for a wide range of collections.” (California Book Watch, September 2013)“Dr. Rupert Sheldrake continues to chart a new course in our understanding of the non-local mind that connects all of us....The application of this understanding has the potential to heal our world.” (Deepak Chopra, M.D., author of How to Know God and The Seven Spiritual Laws of Success)“Important, thought-provoking, and exciting. Sheldrake’s combination of good science with an open mind and his willingness to dig deeply where others fear to tread makes for a fascinating, un-put-downable read.” (Graham Hancock, author of Fingerprints of the Gods and Supernatural)“Sheldrake’s genius lies in his taking well-attested anecdotal phenomena like telepathy, the sense of being stared at, and anticipating alarm calls and putting them to the scientific test. In doing so his work not only extends--indeed stretches--the mind, it also extends science in a new and creative direction.” (David Lorimer, program director for the Scientific and Medical Network and author of The Spirit of S)“Sheldrake offers another round of profound case studies as a bridge to documenting such rarely considered but common human phenomena as ‘telephone telepathy,’ lifesaving premonitions, and the phenomenon that gives this utterly compelling and gratifying book its title: the power of the gaze . . .” (Booklist)“Sheldrake’s trademark juxtaposition of fantastic subject matter with practical scientific discipline is highly entertaining and should prove irresistible to inquiring minds.” (School Library Journal)“Author Rupert Sheldrake brings forth exhaustive and comprehensive new research into various phenomena. These phenomena are often considered paranormal, but the author explains how they are really normal, and part of our innate biology. Sheldrake postulates that there are evolutionary advantages of being consciously aware of one’s surroundings and other beings, without auditory or visual cues. He asserts that research reveals that our minds extend into the world around us, and even into the future, and thus consciousness is not housed strictly within our brains. Much of the research was so highly statistically significant that skeptics would have a hard time refuting the evidence. This book seems to leave no stone unturned in its comprehensive overview of so many topics. It’s a fascinating read, and with a good index, the reader can zoom in on any subject desired.” (Alice Berntson, New Connexion, March 2014)“Dr. Sheldrake offers his theory of morphic resonance as an explanation for telepathy, precognition, remote viewing and other innate psychic abilities. As living organisms, he contends, we comprise multiple fields that are linked to our collective memory. An extraordinary book which hails our seventh sense.” (Nexus Reviews, October 2013)
