The Conscious Universe: The Scientific Truth of Psychic Phenomena

Profiled in the NY Times Magazine, Dean Radin is perhaps the most respected parapsychologist in the country. An articulate, engaging communicator, he wields impeccable credentials, a healthy skepticism & a meticulous scientific method to put psi phenomona like telepathy, clairvoyance, precognition & psychokinesis to hard scientific tests. His manifesto makes a persuasive case for the truth of psychic phenomena & places us on the cusp of what may well be the next great paradigm shift. Uniting the latest in high-tech experiments, including irrefutable data from his own groundbreaking research, with teachings of mystics & theories of quantum physics, he explores myriad phenomena from ESP to ghosts to psychokinesis. He reveals the remarkable extent to which psi is already tacitly acknowledged & exploited by Fortune 500 corporations & government, then analyzes how the inevitable mass acceptance of the mind-matter link will affect social, economic, academic, health & spiritual issues. At once visionary & pragmatic, The Conscious Universerecalls Godel, Escher, Bach& The Holographic Universe, yet transcends mere experiments to offer a bold vision.
