Western science teaches that our beings are governed by the laws of
physics and our minds play no part. There are, however, flaws in
this thinking, most prominently unexplained paranormal phenomena
that defy explanation by modern theories of physics. Collected by a
handful of renegade scientists who call themselves
parapsychologists, these data include extrasensory perception
(ESP), poltergeist occurrences, and psychokinesis. Much of the
current data in parapsychology and their implications for
understanding the true nature of the self are examined here.
Beginning with a consideration of several instances of spontaneous
psi, the book examines the theoretical explanations of paranormal
phenomena. It also covers the hypothesis and evidence that minds
contain the so-called hidden variables that determine the outcomes
of the quantum process, thus interweaving parapsychology with
modern physics. The mind's fate upon the death of the physical body
is discussed; the reader is forced to consider in detail the
relationship between the conscious mind and the physical brain and
the evidence that minds survive the death of bodies.
