The Conscious Universe

Book excerpt: The scientific evidence for telepathy, clairvoyance, prayer, jinxes, and other phenomena, from the author of Entangled Minds. This rigorously reasoned manifesto by an eminent parapsychologist provides astonishing answers to universal questions by unveiling persuasive empirical evidence for the existence of psychic phenomena. Dean Radin shatters myths that surround parapsychology, revealing the extent to which corporations, governments, and academia have embraced it, and exploring what the effects will be when—inevitably—mainstream science and society embrace it as well. Praise for The Conscious Universe “Radin is a mix of curiosity, scholarship, technical expertise, and sly wit.” —New York Times Magazine “Radin makes the most powerful case for the reality of parapsychological phenomena that I have yet encountered. . . . He writes clearly, powerfully, and persuasively, and this book shows that we are at a turning point in our scientific understanding of our minds and of nature.” —Rupert Sheldrake, PhD, author of The Sense of Being Stared At “Cutting perceptively through the spurious arguments frequently made by skeptics, [Radin] shows the evidence in favor of [paranormal] existence is overwhelming.” —Brian Johnson, PhD, Nobel laureate in physics
