Book Description
Séances, clairvoyance, and telepathy captivated public imagination in the United States from the 1850s well into the twentieth century. Though skeptics dismissed these experiences as delusions, a new kind of investigator emerged to seek the science behind such phenomena. With new technologies like the telegraph collapsing the boundaries of time and space, an explanation seemed within reach. As Americans took up psychical experiments in their homes, the boundaries of the mind began to waver. Common Phantoms brings these experiments back to life while modeling a new approach to the history of psychology and the mind sciences. Drawing on previously untapped archives of participant-reported data, Alicia Puglionesi recounts how an eclectic group of investigators tried to capture the most elusive dimensions of human consciousness. A vast though flawed experiment in democratic science, psychical research gave participants valuable tools with which to study their experiences on their own terms. Academic psychology would ultimately disown this effort as both a scientific failure and a remnant of magical thinking, but its challenge to the limits of science, the mind, and the soul still reverberates today.
Exploring the Edge Realms of Consciousness
Author: Daniel PinchbeckPublisher: North Atlantic Books
ISBN: 1583944885
Category : Body, Mind & Spirit
Languages : en
Pages : 385
Book Description
A diverse group of authors journey into the fringes of human consciousness, tackling psychic and paranormal phenomena, lucid dreaming, synchronistic encounters, and more. Collected from the online magazine Reality Sandwich, these essays explore regions of the mind often traversed by shamans, mystics, and visionary artists; adjacent and contiguous to our normal waking state, these realms may be encountered in dreams or out-of-body experiences, accessed through meditation or plant medicines, and marked by psychic phenomena and uncanny synchronicities. From demons encountered in sleep paralysis visions to psychic research conducted by the CIA, the seemingly disparate topics covered here congeal to form a larger picture of what these extraordinary states of consciousness might have to tell us about the nature of reality itself.

Book Description
"Mind over matter...the natural over the artificial... these were the unspoken mantras of the proponents of New Thought, the mystical movement at the turn of the 20th century.... One of the most influential thinkers of this early "New Age" philosophy promises here, in this 1909 book, to show the reader how to 'spread the glad tidings of Health and Strength' by using the body's Prana, or Vital Force; by direct control of the body's cells via the mind, or mental healing; and by calling the light of 'higher thought' down on the body, or spiritual healing"--Dust jacket.
