In 1991, when her daughter's rare, hand-carved harp was stolen,
Lisby Mayer's familiar world of science and rational thinking
turned upside down. After the police failed to turn up any leads, a
friend suggested she call a dowser--a man who specialized in
finding lost objects. With nothing to lose--and almost as a
joke--Dr. Mayer agreed. Within two days, and without leaving his
Arkansas home, the dowser located the exact California street
coordinates where the harp was found.
Deeply shaken, yet driven to understand what had happened, Mayer
began the fourteen-year journey of discovery that she recounts in
this mind-opening, brilliantly readable book. Her first surprise:
the dozens of colleagues who'd been keeping similar experiences
secret for years, fearful of being labeled credulous or crazy.
Extraordinary Knowing is an attempt to break through the silence
imposed by fear and to explore what science has to say about these
and countless other "inexplicable" phenomena. From Sigmund Freud's
writings on telepathy to secret CIA experiments on remote viewing,
from leading-edge neuroscience to the strange world of quantum
physics, Dr. Mayer reveals a wealth of credible and fascinating
research into the realm where the mind seems to trump the laws of
nature.
She does not ask us to believe. Rather she brings us a book of
profound intrigue and optimism, with far-reaching implications not
just for scientific inquiry but also for the ways we go about
living in the world.
