Overview

Psychic phenomena have long been relegated to the fringe of scientific examination, but several rigorously supervised studies have proven that such phenomena as telepathy, precognition, and psychokinesis have a scientific basis. Dr. Diane Hennacy Powell, a Johns Hopkins-trained neuropsychiatrist, proposes a fascinating new paradigm for consciousness that demystifies psychic phenomena. She explores why psychic abilities are stronger among prodigies, autistic savants, people with bipolar illness, and in individuals with certain brain injuries and other neurological conditions. Brain Imaging and other recent research explains which parts of the brain are more dominant and how the mind of a mystic or psychic could have an organizational effect on the physical world. Using reliable scientific research, The ESP Enigma establishes a common ground among psychic phenomena believers and skeptics.

""The ESP Enigma is an unflinching examination of the puzzle of consciousness-how it's able to do things that according to our textbooks, don't make sense. Refreshingly clear, scientifically accurate, up to date, and comprehensive, this book shatters conventional beliefs about the nature of the mind and reality itself."" Dean Radin Ph.D., senior scientist, Institute of Noetic Sciences and author of The Conscious Universe and Entangled Minds ""Wonderfully profound, deeply accessible, The ESP Enigma carefully unpacks the folds and fields of extended human consciousness to reveal the sometimes subtle, often surprising, and ever fascinating mental dimensions that make us what we are-yet which (for now) Science still doggedly refuses to accept."" Maj. Paul H. Smith, U.S. Army (ret.), president of the International Remote Viewing Association and author of Reading the Enemy's Mind: Inside Star Gate, America's Psychic Espionage Program ""Not about to compromise her credibility by claiming that mind power can levitate tables, Powell hears to the possibility that human consciousness might affect matter at the quantum mechanical level. Incorporating Powell's knowledge of neuroscience, this work should appeal to those open to the idea that ESP exists."" Booklist ""Finally, scientists and laymen alike have a clear and compelling introduction to the controversial world of contemporary psychic and consciousness research. Dr. Powell's The ESP Enigma is destined to become a classic in the field."" Gary E. Schwartz Ph.D., director, Laboratory for Advances in Consciousness and Health at the University of Arizona, and author of The Energy Healing Experiments ""A quiet revolution is occurring within science in which the origin, destiny, and essential nature of consciousness are being redefined. Dr Diane Hennacy Powell is at the forefront of these developments. She realizes that psychic experiences must be fully engaged by science and not denied if we are to understand what it means to be human. Written with brilliant clarity and insight, The ESP Enigma is compelling and inspiring."" -Larry Dosey, M.D., author of The Power of Premonitions and Healing Words
