In contrast, claims in other fringe realms, such as telepathy and psychokinesis, are credible only if you ignore a couple or three centuries of established science. Say this about assertions that aliens have been, are or will soon be landing on Earth: at least a scenario like that of “Independence Day” would not violate any laws of nature. By outlining the origin of this passionate debate, Carter calls on all open-minded individuals to disregard the church of skepticism and reach their own conclusions by looking at the vast body of evidence. Consequently, the possibility of psychic abilities cannot be tolerated because their existence would refute materialism and contradict a deeply ingrained ideology. Carter reveals how the doctrine of materialism-in which nothing matters but matter-has become an infallible article of faith for many scientists and philosophers, much like the convictions of religious fundamentalists. The controversy over parapsychology continues not because ESP and other abilities cannot be verified but because their existence challenges deeply held worldviews more strongly rooted in religious and philosophical beliefs than in hard science. If true evidence exists, why then is the study of psi phenomena-parapsychology-so controversial? And why has the controversy lasted for centuries?Įxploring the scandalous history of parapsychology and citing decades of research, Chris Carter shows that, contrary to mainstream belief, replicable evidence of psi phenomena exists. The battle over the reality of psi has carried on in scientific academies, courtrooms, scholarly journals, newspapers, and radio stations and has included scandals, wild accusations, ruined reputations, as well as bizarre characters on both sides of the debate. Documented, reproducible evidence exists that these abilities are real, yet the mainstream scientific community has vehemently denied the existence of psi phenomena for centuries. Reports of psychic abilities, such as telepathy, clairvoyance, precognition, and psychokinesis, date back to the beginning of recorded human history in all cultures. Shows that skepticism of psi phenomena is based more on a religion of materialism than on hard science.Provides reproducible evidence from scientific research that telepathy, clairvoyance, precognition, and psychokinesis are real.Explores the scandalous history of parapsychology since the scientific revolution of the 17th century.Finally, Radin takes a bold look ahead, to the inevitable social, economic, academic, and spiritual consequences of the mass realization that mind and matter can influence each other without having physical contact.A factual and conscientious argument against materialism’s vehement denial of psi phenomena
"The Conscious Universe" also sifts the data for tantalizing hints of how mind and matter are linked. government, to demonstrate the surprising extent to which the truth of psi has already been tacitly acknowledged and exploited. Radin draws from his own work at Princeton, Stanford Research Institute, and Fortune 500 companies, as well as his research for the U.S. It looks ahead to the inevitable social, economic, academic, and spiritual consequences of the mass realization that mind and matter can influence each other.
