When Robert G. Jahn and Brenda J. Dunne first embarked on their
exotic scholarly journey more than three decades ago, their
aspirations were little higher than to attempt replication of some
previously asserted anomalous results that might conceivably impact
future engineering practice, either negatively or positively, and
to pursue those ramifications to some appropriate extent. But as
they followed that tortuous research path deeper into its
metaphysical forest, it became clear that far more fundamental
epistemological issues were at stake, and far stranger
phenomenological creatures were on the prowl, than they had
originally envisaged, and that a substantially broader range of
intellectual and cultural perspectives would be required to pursue
that trek productively. This text is their attempt to record some
of the tactics developed, experiences encountered, and
understanding acquired on this mist-shrouded exploration, in the
hope that their preservation in this format will encourage and
enable deeper future scholarly penetrations into the ultimate
Source of Reality.

Two controversial authors debate the nature and methods of science,
its dogmas, and its future. Rupert Sheldrake argues that science
needs to free itself from materialist dogma while Michael Shermer
contends that science, properly conceived, is a materialistic
enterprise; for science to look beyond materialist explanations is
to betray science and engage in superstition. Issues discussed
include: materialism and its role in science, whether belief in God
is compatible with a scientific perspective, and parapsychology.
Michael Shermer is Editor-in-Chief of "Skeptic "magazine and the
author of numerous books including "Skeptic."Rupert Sheldrake is a
biologist and author of ten books including his most recent,
"Science Set Free," which challenges scientific dogma.
Telepathy, thought transference, unconscious communication. While
some important early psychological theorists such as William James,
Frederic W. H. Myers and Sigmund Freud all agreed that the
phenomenon exists, their theoretical approaches to it were very
different. James's and Myers's interpretations of and experimental
investigations into telepathy or thought transference were an
inextricable part of their psychical researches. Freud's insistence
on the reality of thought transference had nothing to do with
psychical research or paranormal phenomena, which he largely
repudiated. Thought transference for Freud was located in a theory
of the unconscious that was radically different from the subliminal
mind embraced by James and Myers. Today thought transference is
most commonly described as unconscious communication but was
largely ignored by subsequent generations of psychoanalysts until
most recently. Nonetheless, the recognition of unconscious
communication has persisted as a subterranean, quasi-spiritual
presence in psychoanalysis to this day. As psychoanalysis becomes
more interested in unconscious communication and develops theories
of loosely boundaried subjectivities that open up to transcendent
dimensions of reality, it begins to assume the features of a
religious psychology. Thus, a fuller understanding of how
unconscious communication resonates with mystical overtones may be
more deeply clarified, articulated and elaborated in contemporary
psychoanalysis in an explicit dialogue with psychoanalytically
literate scholars of religion. In Legacies of the Occult Marsha
Aileen Hewitt argues that some of the leading theorists of
unconscious communication represent a 'mystical turn' that is
infused with both a spirituality and a revitalized interest in
paranormal experience that is far closer to James and Myers than to
Freud.
