| mind reach scientists look at psychic abilities: Mind-Reach Russell Targ, Harold E. Puthoff, 2005-02-01 Originally published by Delacorte, Mind-Reach is the book that led to the U. S. Army’s psychic spy program and the subsequent prominence of remote viewing. The protocols that physicists Targ and Puthoff developed at the Stanford Research Institute are still in use today and have proven again and again in laboratory settings that psychic ability is universal. Targ is the author of three recent books with New World Library: Limitless Mind, The Heart of the Mind, and Miracles of Mind. Mind-Reach is the eleventh title in Hampton Roads’ Studies in Consciousness series. |

| mind reach scientists look at psychic abilities: Limitless Mind Russell Targ, 2010-10-04 The psychic abilities of most humans are dampened by the clatter of our conscious minds. In this timely book, Russell Targ shows readers how to quiet this noise and see into the far reaches of time and space through remote viewing. He also illuminates the phenomena of intuitive medical diagnosis and distant healing in a groundbreaking synthesis of research and empirical data. Drawing on a broad range of spiritual traditions, Targ demonstrates that these psychic abilities offer a path of self-inquiry and self-realization and have the power to expand each person’s limited awareness into the consciousness shared by all beings. Targ explores the scientific and spiritual implications of remote viewing, as well as offering practical techniques and exercises to nurture this universally available but often untapped skill. |
| mind reach scientists look at psychic abilities: Do You See What I See? Russell Targ, 2010-03-01 Now in paperback, the droll memoir by a world-class physicist that includes recollections of his involvement with pioneering laser research, encounters with many of the most recognizable literary, cultural, and entertainment figures of the 20th century, and his role in teaching ESP techniques to the CIA--a real-life X-Files saga. Russll Targ is a Zelig-like character. His story is an idiosyncratic journey through the highways and byways of American intellectual, scientific, and cultural life in 20th century. His father (the long-time editor-in-chief at Putnam) acquired The Godfather on the basis of an outline scribbled on the back of a napkin. His mother was the first press agent of the fan dancer Sally Rand. His step-mother is the legendary literary agent Rosalind Targ. He was married for thirty years to the sister of the infamous chess master Bobby Fischer. He briefly dated Henny Youngman’s cousin. He attended college with Alan Alda’s wife, Arlene. He was part of Ayn Rand’s study group in the 1950s--along with economist Alan Greenspan. He was a pioneer in laser research. He spent many years developing air-borne laser wind sensors for Lockheed and NASA. He co-founded the Stanford Research Institute remote viewing program--which was funded by the CIA--and was instrumental in tracking Soviet and Chinese weapon installations during the Cold War. And, he is a legally blind motorcyclist—who happens to be a Buddhist. This is a fascinating memoir by a first-class intellect; the story of a physicist who has pushed the boundaries of siceince to explory the realms of parapsychology, spirituality, and the unexplained. |

| mind reach scientists look at psychic abilities: Clairvoyance and Consciousness T. H. Meyer, 2012 The Tao...is something that was considered a distant goal of the world and humanity, the highest element that human beings carried as a seed within them, and that would one day develop into a fully opened blossom from the innermost depths of human nature. --Rudolf Steiner The recent explosion of spiritual teachings has offered countless paths to clairvoyant and metaphysical states of consciousness. This spiritual renaissance, including a renewed interest in Taoism, can be seen as a reflection of the modern individual's need to become aware of spiritual modes of perception and knowing. However, Meyer insists that many of these teachings lead to an ancient form of hazy, indistinct clairvoyance, in direct opposition to clear, rational but spiritualized thinking. Between Goethe's Taoism and Fritjof Capra's Tao of Physics, Meyer guides the reader to the most modern form of Taoism, which is inherent in Rudolf Steiner's work, particularly his Philosophy of Spiritual Activity (Intuitive Thinking as a Spiritual Path). Meyer traces the evolution of human consciousness, from the dreamy clairvoyance of ancient Atlantis to the modern ability for clear abstract thinking, and to humanity's newly unfolding clairvoyant faculties. |

| mind reach scientists look at psychic abilities: Miracles of Mind Russell Targ, Jane Katra, PhD, 2010-10-04 The authors begin with compelling evidence of psychic abilities gathered in Targ's remote-viewing experiments for the Stanford Research Institute. Targ reveals how the experiments were conducted and how subjects were able to describe remote locations with precise detail. Targ also presents the results of recently declassified, covertly funded CIA experiments in remote spying during the Cold War, published here for the first time. After surveying the scientific evidence of the mind's nonlocal powers, Targ and Katra apply this evidence to the field of healing. Incorporating ancient Eastern teachings and modern scientific evidence published in the most prestigious scientific journals, Targ and Katra explain the process of spiritual healing, which they describe as a quieting of the mind to open it to the community of spirit. The book stays with you long after you put it down. It can change the way you view the world — and yourself. |

| mind reach scientists look at psychic abilities: Distant Mental Influence William Braud, 2003 Professionals in modern psychology, behavioral medicine, and psychoneuroimmunology are exploring ways in which we can mentally influence our own bodies through hypnosis, imagery, visualization, attention, intention, and other forms of self-regulation--for fostering physical and psychological health and well-being. Is it possible for us to use such techniques to influence others, even at a distance, for purposes of healing? Is it possible for us to influence the images, thoughts, behaviors, and physiological reactions of other persons--separated by distance--without conventional sensory means of interaction? Can these abilities extend to animals and even to cells (e.g., human red blood cells)? Might these abilities be involved in the efficacy of distant, mental, or spiritual healing and intercessory prayer? Might these influences even extend to events distant in time--even backwards in time? Do these influences have major implications for our scientific theories, our human identity, the interconnections between ourselves and nature, and our relationships with others? Careful laboratory work--described in detail in this book--suggests that the answer to all these questions is a resounding Yes A personal introduction and 12 detailed chapters describe the evidence that support these important claims. The book also describes the factors that make such distant mental influences more or less likely, so that anyone might use these distant influence skills more effectively and consistently for their own benefit and for the benefit of others. |
| mind reach scientists look at psychic abilities: Guidelines for Testing Psychic Claimants Richard John Wiseman, Robert Lyle Morris, 1995 Wiseman (psychology, U. of Hertfordshire, England) and Morris (parapsychology, Edinburgh U., Scotland) are not debunkers. They rue the fact that serious researchers into psychic phenomena avoid testing people who claim to have extraordinary abilities, and argue that more would if a clear and widely accepted set of protocols were established. They discuss the problem of fraud, initial meetings with the claimant, working with likely tricksters, general policies, reporting recommendations, proof versus process-oriented research, and other topics.

| mind reach scientists look at psychic abilities: Scientific Evidence of the Existence of the Soul Benito F. Reyes, 1970 For millions of people throughout the world, in both the East and the West, the existence of the soul is an accepted fact, and this view is a basic tenet in most of the great religions. Yet there are millions of others who do not accept the idea of a soul, and who have a purely mechanistic view of man as a product of evolution. The distinguished author of this work has built up his case for the existence of the soul by drawing on many sources, including the evidence of such phenomena as memory, sleep, dreams, hypnotism, extrasensory perception, and death. He links his thesis with philosophical concepts of both East and West. The work is well documented. This is a challenging book and it will provide absorbing reading for those who seek an answer to the meaning of man's existence. The author, Dr. Benito F. Reyes, is the first President of the University of the City of Manila (Pamantasan ng Lungsod ng Maynila) in the Philippines. Prior to his inauguration in 1968 he was for twenty-one years a professor at the Far Eastern University in Manila. In 1951-52 he taught at Boston University as a Fulbright-Smith-Mundt professor and in 1965 he was a Fulbright-Hays philosophy professor at the State University of New York. He lectured at Harvard, Brown, and other American universities. He has published a number of works on philosophy, psychology, and the quest for meaning.--front flap. |
| mind reach scientists look at psychic abilities: Science and Psychic Phenomena Chris Carter, 2012-02-22 A factual and conscientious argument against materialism’s vehement denial of psi phenomena • Explores the scandalous history of parapsychology since the scientific revolution of the 17th century • Provides reproducible evidence from scientific research that telepathy, clairvoyance, precognition, and psychokinesis are real • Shows that skepticism of psi phenomena is based more on a religion of materialism than on hard science Reports of psychic abilities, such as telepathy, clairvoyance, precognition, and psychokinesis, date back to the beginning of recorded human history in all cultures. Documented, reproducible evidence exists that these abilities are real, yet the mainstream scientific community has vehemently denied the existence of psi phenomena for centuries. The battle over the reality of psi has carried on in scientific academies, courtrooms, scholarly journals, newspapers, and radio stations and has included scandals, wild accusations, ruined reputations, as well as bizarre characters on both sides of the debate. If true evidence exists, why then is the study of psi phenomena--parapsychology--so controversial? And why has the controversy lasted for centuries? Exploring the scandalous history of parapsychology and citing decades of research, Chris Carter shows that, contrary to mainstream belief, replicable evidence of psi phenomena exists. The controversy over parapsychology continues not because ESP and other abilities cannot be verified but because their existence challenges deeply held worldviews more strongly rooted in religious and philosophical beliefs than in hard science. Carter reveals how the doctrine of materialism--in which nothing matters but matter--has become an infallible article of faith for many scientists and philosophers, much like the convictions of religious fundamentalists. Consequently, the possibility of psychic abilities cannot be tolerated because their existence would refute materialism and contradict a deeply ingrained ideology. By outlining the origin of this passionate debate, Carter calls on all open-minded individuals to disregard the church of skepticism and reach their own conclusions by looking at the vast body of evidence. |
| mind reach scientists look at psychic abilities: The Heart of the Mind Jane Katra, Russell Targ, 2011-08-01 Targ and Katra show us how we are hard-wired for higher consciousness.

| mind reach scientists look at psychic abilities: The Essential Guide to Remote Viewing Paul H. Smith, 2015-05-31 Written by one of the world's leading experts in the field, The Essential Guide to Remote Viewing is a basic introduction to the extraordinary extrasensory perceptual skill which was developed for the US military during the Cold War. This book describes what remote viewing is, how it came to be, what kinds of remote viewing there are, and counters skeptical arguments against remote viewing's legitimacy. Further, the book contains examples of successful remote viewing attempts, explains how remote viewing can be used for practical purposes, how ordinary civilians can themselves now learn to do it, and outlines experiments that readers can try for themselves. The ideal reader of The Essential Guide to Remote Viewing will be someone who knows little or nothing about remote viewing and wants an inexpensive source for credible information. Others who will be interested are those who are involved in remote viewing and want an easily-accessible introduction to give to friends or relatives who have questions about what this thing is their loved ones have gotten involved with. Finally, those who are already involved with remote viewing but feel the need to extend their basic knowledge will find this book both interesting and useful. |
| mind reach scientists look at psychic abilities: Alternative Medicine and Miracles Reginald O. Crosley, 2004 From the twentieth century to the present, the scientific medical establishment is taking consideration of alternative healing practices. Having witnessed positive results, medical researchers are facing urgent inquiries. According to author Reginald O. Crosley, M.D., the exotic scientific principles revealed in quantum mechanics, relativity theories, strings theory, and chaos theory, directly correspond to alternative medicines and miraculous healings. |
| mind reach scientists look at psychic abilities: Remote Viewing Secrets Joseph McMoneagle, 2023 Remote viewing is not simply using psychic ability to obtain information. It is using scientific protocol to develop and extend that ability so that ordinary people can learn to do what psychics do. This book teaches you how to teach yourself. McMoneagle believes that anybody can be trained in remote viewing (no psychic gifts required). However, it requires a huge commitment and a highly disciplined mind. Using the analogy of martial arts, McMoneagle sees RV training in levels, starting with white belt where viewers can expect to see a gestalt (an overall impression) of a target. By the time readers reach the red-black belt great master, McMoneagle claims they will have gained a near-perfect union of one's paranormal talent blended within extant reality. People who reach this level no longer have to think about it, they simply do. Although readers won't become great masters by reading this one book, McMoneagle does provide a comprehensive training program as well as important chapters on the ethics, protocol, and applications of remote viewing. McMoneagle is the authority in this area. He learned remote viewing in the U.S. Army--he was Remote Viewer #001 in the Army's Stargate program--and was awarded the Legion of Merit for his contribution to various intelligence operations. |
| mind reach scientists look at psychic abilities: The Psychophysiology of Mental Imagery Robert G. Kunzendorf, Anees Ahmad Sheikh, 2022-10-15 Serving to bridge the gap between differing approaches to psychology, this new text provides some of the most compelling evidence yet for the subjective presence and objective efficacy of the mental image. In this day and age of dissociation between physiological psychologists and other psychologists, between cognitive scientist and mentalist, between researchers and practitioners, mental imagery and its psychophysiology pose some intellectually sticky problems - and some promising resolutions - that should bind together differing disciplines within psychology. |
| mind reach scientists look at psychic abilities: Dreams of Reality Dr. John J. Petrovic, 2012-02-07 Have you ever wondered if you might be living a dream? How do you know what is real and what is illusion? The popular movie The Matrix explored this theme a few years ago with great effect. Yet this is a serious question requiring serious thought. The book Dreams of Reality, written from a scientific perspective, takes the reader on an intellectual journey through the various aspects and dimensions of reality, from our current state of understanding to the so-called metaphysical. You may find a number of surprising and thought-provoking vistas along this yellow-brick road. Consider them with an open mind and then let your intuition tell you where the dream ends and reality begins. |
| mind reach scientists look at psychic abilities: The Dreamlife of Families Edward Bruce Bynum, 2017-07-11 How our unconscious minds connect with our families through dreams • Shows how the connected dreamlife of families reveals itself in nightmares and unusual dreams, during critical times such as pregnancy, conflicts, and medical emergencies, and in shared, telepathic, and precognitive dreams • Explains how dreamwork can help heal our psychospiritual selves and aid in both family and couples therapy • Examines ancient dream traditions from Africa, Europe, Asia, South America, Australia, and the ancient Egyptian Mystery Schools Our dreams, the most intimate part of us, form the truest expressions of our feelings and emotional beliefs about the world. Our dreams also reflect the complex connections of our unconscious minds with those of our families and close friends, connecting us through our dreams to loved ones near and far, living and passed on. Integrating traditional dream analysis with family psychology, clinical science, and parapsychology, Edward Bruce Bynum, Ph.D., ABPP, details how our personal unconscious is interwoven into our larger family unconscious. He shows how these dreamlife connections and patterns are as old as humanity itself, exploring ancient dream traditions from around the world. He explains how the dreamlife of a family can be viewed as a shared field or hologram, where each family member is enfolded into the dreams of the other members. This shared reality reveals itself in family and personal illnesses, in nightmares and unusual dreams, and during critical times such as crisis, pregnancy, conflicts, and medical emergencies. It also reveals itself in cases of simultaneous shared dreams and telepathic and precognitive dreams, explaining why so many people have dreams in which a family member appears to say good-bye, waking the next day to discover the same loved one has passed away. Sharing clinical case studies from his Family Dream Research Project, the author shows how the intimate labyrinth of our dream lives is always flowing beneath the surface of our waking lives, shaping and influencing our relationships and our deep core experiences. He reveals how dreams can be healing factors as well as diagnostic signals, detailing how dreamwork can aid in both family and couples therapy. Showing how our family’s dreamlife connects us to our ancestors and weaves us into the messages we send to our children’s children, the author offers an opportunity to identify personal and family patterns, heal our psychospiritual selves, and grow our understanding of our own minds. |
| mind reach scientists look at psychic abilities: The Church of Scientology Hugh B. Urban, 2013-02-24 Scientology's long and complex journey to recognition as a religion Scientology is one of the wealthiest and most powerful new religions to emerge in the past century. To its detractors, L. Ron Hubbard's space-age mysticism is a moneymaking scam and sinister brainwashing cult. But to its adherents, it is humanity's brightest hope. Few religious movements have been subject to public scrutiny like Scientology, yet much of what is written about the church is sensationalist and inaccurate. Here for the first time is the story of Scientology's protracted and turbulent journey to recognition as a religion in the postwar American landscape. Hugh Urban tells the real story of Scientology from its cold war-era beginnings in the 1950s to its prominence today as the religion of Hollywood's celebrity elite. Urban paints a vivid portrait of Hubbard, the enigmatic founder who once commanded his own private fleet and an intelligence apparatus rivaling that of the U.S. government. One FBI agent described him as a mental case, but to his followers he is the man who solved the riddle of the human mind. Urban details Scientology's decades-long war with the IRS, which ended with the church winning tax-exempt status as a religion; the rancorous cult wars of the 1970s and 1980s; as well as the latest challenges confronting Scientology, from attacks by the Internet group Anonymous to the church's efforts to suppress the online dissemination of its esoteric teachings. The Church of Scientology demonstrates how Scientology has reflected the broader anxieties and obsessions of postwar America, and raises profound questions about how religion is defined and who gets to define it. |
| mind reach scientists look at psychic abilities: Conjunction.World Elly Flippen, 2024-10-05 A must read. I cannot recommend highly enough. Bring a lot of highlighters. This book has been blowing me away. I’d say it’s a must read. So far it has validated certain thoughts I’ve had and experienced, regarding OBE/NDE, UAPs, the cover up, our history, consciousness - and brought new ideas forward. Very well written and organized with detailed footnotes with references. You could almost use it like a guidebook in research. It’s amazing how much we actually have in common with one another. My uncle, the renowned Ingo Swann, was a man of mystery and intrigue. As one of the US Government’s top psychic spies, he held secrets that few knew and even fewer understood. One day, he confided in me with a hushed tone and a glint in his eye: “We are not alone on this planet.” This wasn’t entirely new to me. I had encountered numerous inexplicable events, but I couldn’t believe they were actually real. It just seemed too impossible. Years later, however, my curiosity drove me to learn more. Amidst this learning adventure, I stumbled upon a declassified briefing from 1973 stating a group of Nazis was to blame for releasing an arcane terror upon the world. Unless one is deeply rooted in the essence of the divine, the paper concludes, they will not survive this perilous journey into the ominous world of existence. In other words, if you want to survive in the actual reality we live in, you better be well-equipped with some heavy-duty light protection. After that moment, my inquisitiveness was sparked. I dove in headfirst, compiling theories about non-human entities. From potential extraterrestrial origins to interdimensional beings, I unraveled a complex narrative about advanced technology that could account for the anomalous aerial and aquatic vehicles we have witnessed. But my explorations didn’t end there - I also embarked on a journey to understand the evolution of Remote Viewing, also known as psychic spying. Along the way, I discovered fascinating connections between Remote Viewing, UFO bases, and encounters with non-human beings. I then found myself venturing into mysterious lands shrouded in secrecy. Places where barriers and gateways intertwined, where “haunted spaces” lingered and temporal distortions shifted reality. I encountered apparitions, witnessed unexplainable events, and had enigmatic experiences with UFOs/UAPs - which I began to view as vision quests. As my investigation progressed, I uncovered hidden secrets about our world - first-hand accounts of untold tales from the lands where reality blends with the unknown; the places where the mirror has cracks. |
| mind reach scientists look at psychic abilities: The Reality of ESP Russell Targ, 2012-12-19 On February 4, 1974, members of the Symbionese Liberation Army kidnapped nineteen-year-old newspaper heiress Patricia Hearst from her Berkeley, California apartment. Desperate to find her, the police called physicist Russell Targ and Pat Price, a psychic retired police commissioner. As Price turned the pages of the police mug book filled with hundreds of photos, suddenly he pointed to one of them and announced, “That’s the ringleader.” The man was Donald DeFreeze, who was indeed subsequently so identified. Price also described the type and location of the kidnap car, enabling the police to find it within minutes. That remarkable event is one reason Targ believes in ESP. Another occurred when his group made $120,000 by forecasting for nine weeks in a row the changes in the silver-commodity futures market As a scientist, Targ demands proof. His experience is based on two decades of investigations at the Stanford Research Institute (SRI), which he cofounded with physicist Harold Puthoff in 1972. This twenty-million dollar program launched during the Cold War was supported by the CIA, NASA, the Defense Intelligence Agency, and Army and Air Force Intelligence. The experiments they conducted routinely presented results could have happened by chance less than once in a million. Targ describes four types of experiments: Remote Viewing, in which a person describes places and events independent of space and time. For example, while in California Price drew to scale a Soviet weapons factory at Semipalitinsk with great accuracy later confirmed by Satellite photography. In another remote viewing, Targ accurately sketched an airport in San Andreas, Columbia himself. Distant Mental Influence, where the thoughts of the experimenter can positively or negatively affect the physiology (heart rate, skin resistance, etc.) of a distant person. Whole field isolation, where someone in a state of sensory isolation accurately describes the visual experiences of someone else in another place Precognition and retrocausality, showing that the future can affect the past.

| mind reach scientists look at psychic abilities: Consciousness Susan Blackmore, Emily T. Troscianko, 2018-04-27 Is there a theory that explains the essence of consciousness? Or is consciousness itself an illusion? Am I conscious now? Now considered the 'last great mystery of science', consciousness was once viewed with extreme scepticism and rejected by mainstream scientists. It is now a significant area of research, albeit a contentious one, as well as a rapidly expanding area of study for students of psychology, philosophy, and neuroscience. This edition of Consciousness, revised by author team Susan Blackmore and Emily Troscianko, explores the key theories and evidence in consciousness studies ranging from neuroscience and psychology to quantum theories and philosophy. It examines why the term ‘consciousness’ has no recognised definition and provides an opportunity to delve into personal intuitions about the self, mind, and consciousness. Featuring comprehensive coverage of all core topics in the field, this edition includes: Why the problem of consciousness is so hard Neuroscience and the neural correlates of consciousness Why we might be mistaken about our own minds The apparent difference between conscious and unconscious Theories of attention, free will, and self and other The evolution of consciousness in animals and machines Altered states from meditation to drugs and dreaming Complete with key concept boxes, profiles of well-known thinkers, and questions and activities suitable for both independent study and group work, Consciousness provides a complete introduction to this fascinating field.

| mind reach scientists look at psychic abilities: Into the Parallel Robin Brande, 2021-06-29 (Book 1 of 4) No one is going to believe me. High school senior and amateur physicist Audie Masters has discovered what no other physicist has been able to prove: that parallel universes do exist, and there is a way to journey into them. She also discovers something else: a parallel version of herself, living the kind of life Audie never could have imagined for herself. Now Audie is living that life, too, full of adventure, romance, and reality-bending science. It’s all more than she could have hoped for—until something goes wrong. |
