Mind at large

Ebook Download | Mind at large | Initially, I was doubtful of the existence of psi phenomena. My AP Psychology course gave me the impression that there was scant data to validate the field. However, knowing Dr. Harold Puthoff both personally and professionally, I was willing to put my doubt aside and investigate the work that he and others have conducted in parapsychology. Although a compilation of scientific reports first published in the 1970's at the IEEE Symposia On The Nature Of ESP, what I can say for certain after reading this book is that the studies compiled by Puthoff, Targ, and Tart, not only demonstrate that an anomalous statistical phenomena is occuring, but such works, especially the Targ-Puthoff remote viewing studies, such as "A Perceptual Channel for Information Transfer over Kilometer Distances, clearly dispel the flawed criticisms put forth by Ray Hyman in the National Research Council (NRC) evaluation of the CIA's 24 years in remote viewing research.

The studies conducted at Stanford Research Institute are clearly displayed, with the entire methodology presented. Counter arguements are even given towards the critiques that the studies, amazingly, continue to face from CSICOP and James Randi. And though I am member of CSICOP, this criticism through ignorance is very troubling to me. Replications of such studies are also presented in the work of Jahn and Dunne of the Princeton Engineering Anomalies Research laboratory (PEAR), a group that I have recently become affiliated with. Various theories of psi are also presented in the works of Michael Persinger, Charles Tart, Helmut Schmidt and many others. After reading this book, it will be impossible to deny the existence of an anomalous statistical and possibly cognitive phenomena, without betraying one's intellectual honesty. This book is required reading for all who are interested and willing to evaluate parapsychology from a serious, scientific point of view.
