  • Shakespeare's Ghosts Live
    Shakespeare’s Ghosts Live “Gradually, but surely, modern neuroscience is transitioning to a perspective that includes consciousness as a fundamental element in our worldview and not an incidental by-product of the brain. Along with this shift is a new appreciation of the complexity of the psyche, and the realization that many of our forebears understood aspects of consciousness that we unfortunately have shunned. Dr Annekatrin Puhle and Dr Adrian Parker-Reed have combed Shakespeareana and modern consciousness research for evidence of the richness of the psyche in the form of ghosts, spirits, and psychical phenomena. They show that these happenings remain an essential part of who we are, and are manifestations of healthy human function. This wonderfully illustrated, eloquent book is a reclamation project for the human psyche, an effort to take back what we have forfeited in our modern era. After reading Shakespeare’s Ghosts Live, you will never think of Shakespeare, ghosts, or yourself in the same way.” —Larry Dossey, MD, author, One Mind: How Our Individual Mind Is Part of a Greater Consciousness and Why It Matters “Talking about psychic phenomena in academia is still not regarded as politically ‘correct’, say the authors of this meticulously researched and engagingly written study of a long neglected area of Shakespeare’s vast survey of the totality of the human condition. This attitude, they add, amounts to ‘wilful disregard of current interest in exploring altered states of consciousness’. It has led to attempts to replace the term ‘parapsychology’ by ‘anomalistic psychology’, implying this to be no more than a ‘deviant belief’.

  • Psychic Phenomena and the Mind–Body Problem: Historical Notes on a Neglected Conceptual Tradition
    Chapter 3 Psychic Phenomena and the Mind–Body Problem: Historical Notes on a Neglected Conceptual Tradition Carlos S. Alvarado Abstract Although there is a long tradition of philosophical and historical discussions of the mind–body problem, most of them make no mention of psychic phenomena as having implications for such an issue. This chapter is an overview of selected writings published in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries literatures of mesmerism, spiritualism, and psychical research whose authors have discussed apparitions, telepathy, clairvoyance, out-of-body experiences, and other parapsy- chological phenomena as evidence for the existence of a principle separate from the body and responsible for consciousness. Some writers discussed here include indi- viduals from different time periods. Among them are John Beloff, J.C. Colquhoun, Carl du Prel, Camille Flammarion, J.H. Jung-Stilling, Frederic W.H. Myers, and J.B. Rhine. Rather than defend the validity of their position, my purpose is to docu- ment the existence of an intellectual and conceptual tradition that has been neglected by philosophers and others in their discussions of the mind–body problem and aspects of its history. “The paramount importance of psychical research lies in its demonstration of the fact that the physical plane is not the whole of Nature” English physicist William F. Barrett ( 1918 , p. 179) 3.1 Introduction In his book Body and Mind , the British psychologist William McDougall (1871–1938) referred to the “psychophysical-problem” as “the problem of the rela- tion between body and mind” (McDougall 1911 , p. vii).

  • Magic Bullets, Psychiatric Drugs, and the Astonishing Rise of Mental Illness in America by Robert Whitaker
    Journal of Scientifi c Exploration, Vol. 25, No. 2, pp. 343–424, 2011 0892-3310/11 ESSAY REVIEW Medicine To Make You Mad Anatomy of an Epidemic: Magic Bullets, Psychiatric Drugs, and the Astonishing Rise of Mental Illness in America by Robert Whitaker. Crown Publishers, 2010. 404 pp. $26 (hardcover). ISBN 9780307452412. If you want to make someone cry, have them read Chapter 12 of this book: A doctor decided that a child’s bed-wetting warranted treatment with a tricyclic antidepressant. That drug’s “side” effects were then “treated” with further neurologically targeted (psychotropic) “medications,” and 20 years later the formerly bed-wetting child is a permanently “mentally disabled” adult (p. 248 ff.). Anecdotes, individual cases, prove nothing, of course, at least not scientifi cally. But this story comes in Chapter 12, which has been preceded by fully documented accounts of the widespread damage done to tens of thousands of adults and children during the last half century, as psychiatry came to assert that all behavioral, emotional, or mental “problems” stem from drug-reversible biological dysfunctions of the brain. The mainstream research literature is cited by Whitaker on the following points: — The terminology of “anti-psychotic,” “anti-depressant,” “mood stabilizer,” and the like is fundamentally misleading, because the drugs do not have such specifi c, targeted effects. — Instead, these drugs “muck things up” by interfering in a blunderbuss way with various neurotransmitters: They convert normal brain functioning into non-normal functioning. When given to emotionally or mentally disturbed people, they do effect a change of some sort—which can easily be misinterpreted as ameliorating the perceived problem.

  • The Third Secret of Fatima
    Fatima Apparitional Experiences Dr James Paul Pandarakalam An apparition may provide evidence of the authenticity of its manifestation at a physical site by offering predictions that are to be fulfilled at a later date. One of the distinctive features of the events at Fatima in Portugal in 1917 is the fulfilment in our own time of the predictions made. Ever since the occurrence of these famous visionary experiences, among observers and believers there has been an exponential interest in the third secret. Voice phenomena observed during Marian apparitions such as those at Fatima have analogies with externally controlled recurrent spontaneous psychokinetic (RSPK) activity, and visionary experiences involving RSPK or RSPK-like activity may be instances of apparitions at a physical site. The voice extinction and sensory disconnection demonstrated in the Fatima percipients could be explained as psychokinetic-like activity on the part of the apparition. True apparitional experiences prove the existence of psi-like phenomena and discarnate survival. In general, paranormal phenomena involve non-physical, physical and social events. Only physical events are accessible to scientific study. Marian apparitional experiences may be subjected to scientific analysis, but Marian apparition is beyond the scientific realm. The Fatima apparitional events inform research into post-mortem existence and offer a complementary insight into our current knowledge of the discarnate realm. Marian apparitions may be regarded as an antidote to the afflictions of the present century. Introduction Several hundreds of apparitional experiences have been claimed to have occurred in the twentieth century. Marian apparitional experiences have been reported in nearly all the continents of the world in the later half of that century.

BENJAMIN RADFORD mie Hoffman, an eighteen-year-old cheerleader at Parsippany Hills High School in Hanover Township, A New Jersey, left her part-time job at a local mall on the evening of November 23, 1982. She had worked a dou- ble shift and was heading home for the Thanksgiving holi- day with her adoptive parents. Unfortunately, she never arrived. After several worried hours, Hoffman’s mother went to the mall, where she found Amie’s car in the parking lot. The keys were in the ignition, and her purse and sweater were in the front seat. There was no evidence of a struggle; it seemed Amie had simply vanished.
