Description
Is everything connected? Can we sense what's happening to loved ones thousands of miles away? Why are we sometimes certain of a caller's identity the instant the phone rings? Do intuitive hunches contain information about future events? Is it possible to perceive without the use of the ordinary senses? Many people believe that such "psychic phenomena" are rare talents or divine gifts. Others don't believe they exist at all. But the latest scientific research shows that these phenomena are both real and widespread, and are an unavoidable consequence of the interconnected, entangled physical reality we live in. Albert Einstein called entanglement "spooky action at a distance" -- the way two objects remain connected through time and space, without communicating in any conventional way, long after their initial interaction has taken place. Could a similar entanglement of minds explain our apparent psychic abilities? Dean Radin, senior scientist at the Institute of Noetic Sciences, believes it might. In this illuminating book, Radin shows how we know that psychic phenomena such as telepathy, clairvoyance, and psychokinesis are real, based on scientific evidence from thousands of controlled lab tests. Radin surveys the origins of this research and explores, among many topics, the collective premonitions of 9/11. He reveals the physical reality behind our uncanny telepathic experiences and intuitive hunches, and he debunks the skeptical myths surrounding them. Entangled Minds sets the stage for a rational, scientific understanding of psychic experience.… (more)
User reviews
Because I've given up on the book, be aware I could be wrong about my assumption, perhaps the author portrays things differently further along. At my age, however, time is of the essence - my Tardis is in the shop so I can't can't go back time to regain time wasted on things that frustrate me.
It's not that the explanations
Because of this lack, I was disappointed in the book. It made for some interesting reading about ESP alone but I wasn't looking for that. If the title had been different, it wouldn't have been disappointing because my expectations would have been different.
Many member of Consciousness Café have had psychic experiences but are reluctant to talk about them because our western culture often has a dim view of this subject. This book can provide interesting examples of psychic tests that show this human capacity should be appreciated rather than scorned.
