ABOUT THE BOOK
Dean Radin is perhaps the most respected parapsychology
authority in the country. An articulate, engaging communicator,
Radin wields impeccable credentials, a healthy skepticism and a
meticulous scientific method to put "psi" phenomena like
telepathy, clairvoyance, precognition and mind-over-matter
abilities to the hard test of science. His unprecedented
manifesto makes a startlingly persuasive case for the truth of
psychic phenomena--and places us on the cusp of what may well be
the next great paradigm shift.
Uniting the latest in high-tech experiments, including
irrefutable data from his own groundbreaking research, with
teachings of mystics and theories of quantum physics, Radin
explores myriad phenomena: from ESP to ghosts to psychokinesis.
Radin reveals the remarkable extent to which psi is already
tacitly acknowledged--and exploited--by Fortune 500 corporations
and the U.S. government, then analyzes how the inevitable mass
acceptance of the mind-matter link will affect social, economic,
academic, health and spiritual issues. At once visionary and
pragmatic, The Conscious Universe recalls the classics
Godel, Escher, Bach and The Holographic Universe,
yet transcends mere experiments to offer a bold new vision of the
future.
