Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Television, the movies, and computer games fill the minds of their viewers with a daily staple of fantasy, from tales of UFO landings, haunted houses, and communication with the dead to claims of miraculous cures by gifted healers or breakthrough treatments by means of fringe medicine. The paranormal is so ubiquitous in one form of entertainment or another that many people easily lose sight of the distinction between the real and the imaginary, or they never learn to make the distinction in the first place. In this thorough review of pseudoscience and the paranormal in contemporary life, psychologist Terence Hines teaches readers how to carefully evaluate all such claims in terms of scientific evidence.Hines devotes separate chapters to psychics; life after death; parapsychology; astrology; UFOs; ancient astronauts, cosmic collisions, and the Bermuda Triangle; faith healing; and more. New to this second edition are extended sections on psychoanalysis and pseudopsychologies, especially recovered memory therapy, satanic ritual abuse, facilitated communication, and other questionable psychotherapies. There are also new chapters on alternative medicine, which is now marketed in our drug stores, and on environmental pseudoscience, with special emphasis on the evidence that certain technologies like cell phones or environmental agents like asbestos cause cancer.Finally, Hines discusses the psychological causes for belief in the paranormal despite overwhelming evidence to the contrary. This valuable, highly interesting, and completely accessible analysis critiques the whole range of current paranormal claims.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We are now faced with environmental, social and economic demands beyond anything human beings have ever experienced in the past. But a revolution in thought is occurring. Humankind is now on the brink of an evolutionary leap in consciousness that will change the way we think, the way we act towards each other and the very fabric of life as we know it. Yet before this transformation can take place, it will be necessary to shed our cultural psychophobia-fear of the possibilities of the human mind. Conscious Evolution analyses the blocks holding us back from further progress, including rational science with its reliance on Darwin and Freud, fundamentalist religion, our self-oriented materialistic consumerism, and our failure to acknowledge and accept the scientifically verified extrasensory abilities of telepathy, precognition and telekinesis. Once we can accept the spiritual dimension of our existence and explore the treasures of our inner space, Janet Lee Mitchell shows how we will be able to release the vast potential inherent in all of us, and regain our human spirit and greatness.
Download or read book Extrasensory Perception written by Gertrude Schmeidler and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-08-02 with total page 159 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: If extrasensory perception is a common human ability, why can't we all score high on ESP tests? This book answers the question by describing psychological determinants of success and failure in extrasensory perception. Some of the most signifi cant points raised in the editor's enlightening introduction are developed in greater detail in the nine essays that follow, all of them important statements giving a clear picture of research into ESP and the debate that surrounds it. Each essay is followed by a comment relating the essay to the field as a whole. In essays on the debate about ESP, an attack (by C. E. M. Hansel) is followed by a rebuttal (by J. B. Rhine and J. G. Pratt), offering the reader insight into the peculiar tension surrounding the ESP controversy. The book also includes a balanced overview of problems in the field by J. C. Crumbaugh, and six other essays on the psychological factors that influence research on ESP. Controversy over ESP is of special interest also because the questions critics raise relate closely to problems within psychology itself. In addition, the essays reflect a quality common to much research: the excitement of uncovering results that advance our knowledge. This book is intended for supplementary course use. Because of the fundamental problems it addresses, it also offers richly rewarding reading for all teaching and practicing psychologists as well as for the interested generalist. A substantial number of research reports are cited throughout, so that any reader seeking further information will find the cited references invaluable.

This book was released on 2020-09-15 with total page 50 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: " What Is ESP? Explicating the content of ESP & Exploring 7 Types of Extrasensory Perception." Extra sensory literally means “outside the senses” — the 5 senses of sight, touch, hearing, smell, and taste. Extrasensory perception (ESP), perception that occurs independently of the known sensory processes. Usually included in this category of phenomena are: 1. Telepathy, or thought transference between persons; 2. Clairvoyance, or supernormal awareness of objects or events not necessarily known to others; and 3. Precognition, or knowledge of the future. 4. Retrocognition is the opposite of precognition. 5. Psychokinesis or Telekinesis. 6. Mediumship ability to communicate with the dead by channeling their spirits. 7. Remote viewing -an anomalous cognition or second sight. Scientific investigation of these and similar phenomena dates from the late 19th century, with most supporting evidence coming from experiments involving card guessing. Subjects attempt to guess correctly the symbols of cards hidden from their view under controlled conditions; a better-than-chance percentage of correct calls on a statistically significant number of trials is considered to be evidence of ESP. Although many scientists continue to doubt the existence of ESP, people who claim this ability are sometimes used by investigative teams searching for missing persons or things. Whatever this extrasensory perception is, it seems to not be bound to limits of time and space. And, it seems to take on several different shapes and forms — from manipulating physical objects, to knowing the thoughts of others, to seeing into the future. Thus, an attempt has been made in this Booklet to explicate the contents of ESP along with each of these 7 different types of ESP for the enthusiastic Medicos. …Dr. H. K. Saboowala.

This book was released on 2008-07-09 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the ground breaking, scientific work by Dr. J.B. Rhine Ph.D. from Duke University. Dr. Rhine's experiments involving telepathy clairvoyance and precognition used specially designed cards, called Zener cards. Using exact calculations, it is possible to determine how "improbable" it would be to guess an excess number of cards correctly. Within 10 years, 33 experiments had been performed, involving almost one million trials, with protocols which rigorously excluded possible sensory clues Twenty seven of the 33 studies produced statistically significant results; an exceptional record! Furthermore, positive results were not restricted to Rhine's lab. In the years following Rhine's first publication, 33 independent replication experiments were conducted at different laboratories. Twenty of these were statistically significant.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Scholars from around the world collaborate to explain the history of parapsychology, the study of extrasensory perception (ESP), and the arguments of skeptics and supporters in this fascinating collection. This two-volume set introduces ESP—also known as anomalous cognition—and psychokinesis, addressing the history, research, philosophy, and scientific theories surrounding the phenomena. With contributions from leading research scientists from within the field of parapsychology and other areas of study, this reference addresses the fundamental questions that the evidence of ESP evokes; examines parapsychology research from all over the world; and explores the controversies, skepticism, and contemporary criticism disparaging the field. Written for a multidisciplinary audience ranging from physicists to psychologists to lay persons, the volumes present the scientific validity of the field. Volume 1 addresses the historical, philosophical, skeptical, and research viewpoints; volume 2 lays out the current theories on ESP. Chapters reveal how strict scientific protocols and state-of-the-art technologies enable scientists—at sites such as Harvard and Cornell universities to their international counterparts in Amsterdam, Austria, and Asia—to pinpoint and investigate ESP abilities. Appendices include a glossary of key terms in parapsychology, ESP research protocol, ESP research organizations, skeptic associations, and recommended reading.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sensory perception: mind and matter aims at a deeper understanding of the many facets of sensory perception and their relations to brain function and cognition. It is an attempt to promote the interdisciplinary discourse between the neurosciences and psychology, which speaks the language of cognitive experiences, and philosophy, which has been thinking about the meaning and origin of consciousness since its beginning. Leading experts contribute to such a discourse by informing the reader about exciting modern developments, both technical and conceptual, and by pointing to the big gaps still to be bridged. The various chapters provide access to scientific research on sensory perception and the mind from a broad perspective, covering a large spectrum of topics which range from the molecular mechanisms at work in sensory cells to the study of the unconscious and to neurophilosophy.
