Often seen as supernatural, unpredictable, illusory and possibly
dangerous, ESP, telepathy, clairvoyance and other parapsychological
activities are actually happening all the time and help us make
sense of everyday experiences. First Sight provides a new way of
understanding such experiences and describes a way of thinking
about the unconscious mind that makes it clear that these abilities
are not rare and anomalous, but instead are used by all of us all
the time, unconsciously and efficiently. Drawing upon a broad array
of studies in contemporary psychology, the author integrates a new
model for understanding these unusual abilities with the best
research in psychology on problems as diverse as memory,
perception, personality, creativity and fear. In doing so, he
illustrates how the field of parapsychology, which, historically,
has been riddled with confusion, skepticism and false claims, can
move from the edges of science to its center, where it will offer
fascinating new knowledge about unmapped aspects of our nature. The
author demonstrates that the new model accounts for accumulated
findings very well, and explains previous mysteries, resolves
apparent contradictions, and offers clear directions for further
study. First Sight also ventures beyond the laboratory to explain
such things as why apparent paranormal experiences are so rare, why
they need not be feared, and how they can be more intentionally
accessed. Further study of this theory is likely to lead to a
"technology" of parapsychological processes while drastically
revising our conception of the science of the mind toward a new
science more humane and more replete with possibility than we have
imagined in the past.
