  • Automatic Writing and the Book of Mormon: an Update
    ARTICLES AND ESSAYS AUTOMATIC WRITING AND THE BOOK OF MORMON: AN UPDATE Brian C. Hales At a Church conference in 1831, Hyrum Smith invited his brother to explain how the Book of Mormon originated. Joseph declined, saying: “It was not intended to tell the world all the particulars of the coming forth of the Book of Mormon.”1 His pat answer—which he repeated on several occasions—was simply that it came “by the gift and power of God.”2 Attributing the Book of Mormon’s origin to supernatural forces has worked well for Joseph Smith’s believers, then as well as now, but not so well for critics who seem certain natural abilities were responsible. For over 180 years, several secular theories have been advanced as explanations.3 The more popular hypotheses include plagiarism (of the Solomon Spaulding manuscript),4 collaboration (with Oliver Cowdery, Sidney Rigdon, etc.),5 1.

  • Ganzfeld Phenomena
    Bem, D. J. (1996). Ganzfeld phenomena. In G. Stein (Ed.), Encyclopedia of the paranormal (pp. 291-296). Buffalo, NY: Prometheus Books. Ganzfeld Phenomena Daryl J. Bem Cornell University The ganzfeld procedure is a mild sensory isolation technique that was first introduced into experimental psychology during the 1930s and subsequently adapted by parapsychologists to test for the existence of psi--anomalous processes of information or energy transfer such as telepathy or other forms of extrasensory perception that are currently unexplained in terms of known physical or biological mechanisms. Parapsychologists developed the ganzfeld procedure, in part, because they had become dissatisfied the card-guessing methods for testing ESP pioneered by J. B. Rhine at Duke University in the 1930s. In particular, they believed that the repetitive forced- choice procedure in which a participant repeatedly attempts to select the correct "target" symbol from a set of fixed-alternatives failed to capture the circumstances that characterize reported instances of psi in everyday life. Historically, psi has often been associated with meditation, hypnosis, dreaming, and other naturally occurring or deliberately induced altered states of consciousness. For example, the view that psi phenomena can occur during meditation is expressed in most classical texts on meditative techniques; the belief that hypnosis is a psi-conducive state dates all the way back to the days of early mesmerism; and cross-cultural surveys indicate that most reported "real-life" psi experiences are mediated through dreams . There is now experimental evidence consistent with these anecdotal observations. For example, several laboratory investigators have reported that meditation facilitates psi performance (Honorton, 1977) .

LTD. THE UNIVERSITY PRESS GLASGOW ; PKEFACE The Society's Library has been completely re-organised during the past year. The books have been arranged on the shelves by subject and date, many useless ones having been turned out ; the important collection of pamphlets has been classified and boimd, as have been several hundred books •"^w bookcases have been fitted and, finally, the present ; catalogue has been compiled on a detailed and luiiform plan. During the next few years the Library can anticipate a further and considerable increase in usefulness : the result of a generous grant of £250 a year for four years made by the Carnegie United Kingdom Trust for the purchase of books and the Uke. At the end of this period those borrowing works, or consulting them in the Society's Rooms, wiU have at their disposal a thoroughly representative collection of books, pamphlets and periodicals on psychical research and on the neighbouring departments of psychology and philosophy. This development wiU involve, for some time, a great many changes in the disposition of the books on the shelves. For this reason the press-marks have not been printed in the present catalogue, and it is therefore at present impos- sible, without reference to the Library itself, to distinguish those books which are available for reference only, and not for borrowing. Such books are kept in cases 11 and 12 and on shelves i.

  • Essay Review
    fournal of Scientific Exploration, Vol. 25, No. 4, pp. 789-820, 2011 0892-3310/11 ESSAY REVIEW Ian Stevenson's Twenty Cases Suggestive of Reincarnation: An Historical Review and Assessment Twenty Cases Suggestive of Reincarnation by Ian Stevenson. University Press of Virginia, 1980 (second edition). 396 pp. $25.93, ISBN 9780813908724. Introduction Twenty Cases Suggestive of Reincarnation (first published in 1966) is a classic of 20th-century parapsychology that can still be read with profit.' Along with Children Who Remember Previous Lives (2001),^ it is an ideal introduction to Stevenson. The latter work, intended for the educated general reader, provides an overview of 40 years of research and includes capsule summaries of several cases, but Twenty Cases contains detailed reports that illustrate reincamation- type cases much more fully. The cases reported in Twenty Cases come from India, Ceylon (now Sri Lanka), Lebanon, Brazil, and the United States (the Tlingit Indians of Alaska). They were selected from about 200 personally investigated by Stevenson in order to show the variety of features this type of case presents. The subjects of all were young children at the time they claimed to have lived before. Collectively these twenty cases help define "cases ofthe reincamation type," as Stevenson came to call them, though they vary substantially in detail. The book includes both evidentially strong and weak cases, cases among strangers and in the same family, cases with strong behavioral features, cases with birthmarks and congenital deformities related to the previous person,' a case with a change of sex between the previous person and the subject, and a case in which the previous person died after the birth of the subject.

  • An Evaluation of Remote Viewing: Research and Applications
    An Evaluation of Remote Viewing: Research and Applications Michael D. Mumford, PhD Andrew M. Rose, PhD David A. Goslin, PhD Prepared by The American Institutes for Research September 29, 1995 Executive Summary Executive Summary Studies of paranormal phenomena have nearly always been associated with controversy. Despite the controversy concerning their nature and existence, many individuals and organizations continue to be avidly interested in these phenomena. The intelligence community is no exception: beginning in the 1970s, it has conducted a program intended to investigate the application of one paranormal phenomenon—remote viewing, or the ability to describe locations one has not visited. Conceptually, remote viewing would seem to have tremendous potential utility for the intelligence community. Accordingly, a three-component program involving basic research, operations, and foreign assessment has been in place for some time. Prior to transferring this program to a new sponsoring organization within the intelligence community, a thorough program review was initiated. The part of the program review conducted by the American Institutes for Research (AIR), a nonprofit, private research organization, consisted of two main components. The first component was a review of the research program. The second component was a review of the operational application of the remote viewing phenomenon in intelligence gathering. Evaluation of the foreign assessment component of the program was not within the scope of the present effort. Research Evaluation To evaluate the research program, a "blue ribbon" panel was assembled. The panel included two noted experts in the area of parapsychology: Dr . Jessica Utts, a Professor of American Institutes for Research E-1 Executive Summary Statistics at the University of California/Davis, and Dr.

These events appear (0 be genuinely nonlocal in nature. They do not yield (0 explanations based in classical concepts of energy, space, time, and causation.

C. Northrup once observed that you may not know what an episte­ mology is, but you can't not have one. A world view is like that. We F all have one-a tacit set of assumptions about why the world behaves as it does. One of the characteristics of a world view is that it usually goes unexamined. We don't question it because we generally feel we "know" how things work. This is particularly true in healing. l Almost everybody has hidden assump­ tions about what is involved. For example, consider the word "healing." The "-ing" suggests a process. "Process" comes from words meaning "to go forward in time." Healing is wedded, then, to a belief and a feeling that time flows, that time is linear, and that it is comprised of a past, present, and future.
