The Conscious Universe: The Scientific Truth of Psychic Phenomena by Dean Radin
Research Scientist Dean Radin, in his book The Conscious Universe, addresses the idea that those compelling, perplexing and sometimes profound human experiences known as "psychic phenomena" are real. He extends this notion out by identifying two categories: the perceiving of objects or events beyond our ordinary sense capabilities and the triggering or influencing of action through mental powers.
[glow=red,2,300]"...we know that these phenomena exist because of new ways of evaluating massive amounts of scientific evidence collected over a century by scores of researchers." [/glow]
"Psychic, or "psi" phenomena fall into two general categories. The first is perception of objects or events beyond the range of the ordinary senses. The second is mentally causing action at a distance."
[glow=red,2,300]"In both categories, it seems that intention, the mind’s will, can do things that – according to prevailing scientific theories – it isn’t supposed to be able to do."[/glow]
"We wish to know what is happening to loved ones, and somehow, sometimes, that information is available even over large distances. We wish to speed the recovery of a loved one’s illness, and somehow they get better quicker, even at a distance. Mind willing, many interesting things appear to be possible."
[glow=red,2,300]"psi has been shown to exist in thousands of experiments."[/glow]
"Understanding such experiences requires an expanded view of human consciousness."
[glow=red,2,300]"...the fact is that virtually all scientists who have studied the evidence, including the hard-nosed skeptics, now agree that there is something interesting going on that merits serious scientific attention."[/glow]
Dean Radin worked at AT&T Bell Labs and GTE Labs on advanced telecommunications R&D, and then held appointments at Princeton University, University of Edinburgh, University of Nevada, SRI International and Interval Research Corporation, where he was engaged in research on psychic or "psi" phenomena. At SRI he worked on the progenitor of what is now popularly known as the (formerly classified) psi research program codenamed StarGate. In 2000 he cofounded the Boundary Institute and since 2001 he's been Senior Scientist at the Institute of Noetic Sciences. He also holds an adjunct appointment at Sonoma State University and am on the Distinguished Consulting Faculty for Saybrook Graduate School.
