In that paper, Bem describes a series of nine experiments, involving more than 1,000 participants, apparently showing that subjects react physiologically to stimulus events whose random selection has yet to occur. Thus, the experiments seem to show (as Bem puts it) “the anomalous retroactive infl uence of some future event on an individual’s current responses.” In my view, Bem’s experiments are methodologically elegant and excep- tionally clever. One reason this study is so notable is that Bem took several extensively analyzed psychological effects already vetted in the professional literature, and simply tested for them in a seemingly time-reversed direction, by collecting the subjects’ responses prior to randomly choosing the corresponding stimulus events. Furthermore, four of the nine experiments replicate the experi- ments immediately preceding them in Bem’s study. Bem’s report has attracted an extraordinary degree of national and inter- national attention. He’s been both excoriated and praised in prominent print media, blogged about endlessly, and interviewed on major television programs. Needless to say, this is an unusual degree of attention for academic parapsy- chological research, and presumably

Para mostrar en qué sentido, y a modo de estudio de un caso, acudimos a algunas Kerner ideas de Héctor González y Marino Pérez y a la Teoría de los Factores Comunes de Jerome D. Frank. Doctor Justinus Kerner and the Seeress of Prevorst: A case of “psychotherapy” in the first half of the 19th century ABSTRACT Key words This paper aims to analyze the clinical practice carried out by Dr. Justinus Kerner (1786-1862) on the Psychoterapy, so-called Seeress of Prevorst (1801-1829). We consider it as an informal psychological practice within Kerner, a context of romantic medicine and spiritist ideas. In fact, it was an antecedent of later spiritism and spiritism, technologies of the Self it involved an implicit psychological system with its own definition of subjectivity.

  • Theodora's Prophetic Revelation
    David W. Wood Theodora’s Prophetic Revelation The Open Biographical Secrets of Rudolf Steiner’s Drama Characters, Part II The present text is a continuation of the research approach followed in our earlier article “The Course of Dr. Strader’s Life”. It seeks to uncover the identity of the real-life historical personality behind Rudolf Steiner’s drama character of the seeress Theodora.1 This character is in turn a metamorphosis of the figure of the Hawk in Goethe’s Fairy Tale. Both Theodora and the Hawk unite in themselves two events: they reflect the final glow of a past epoch before catching the first rays of a newly dawning day. Spiritual Realism Steiner’s very first idea for a theatre play in Munich in the summer of 1910 was not to perform a mystery drama of his own composition, but a dramatized version of Goethe’s Fairy Tale of the Green Snake and Beautiful Lily. However, the project ran into difficulties. The fairy tale images that were suitable for Goethe’s epoch had to be metamorphosed and rendered more realistic in Steiner’s time: “It did not work. One had to conceive it in a much more realistic manner. And out of this there arose the Portal of Initiation. It is obvious: during Goethe’s time the epoch had not yet arrived in which one could carry over what could be seized in fine fairy tale images into the real figures that are in the Portal of Initiation.”2 Steiner designated the art of this first drama as “spiritual realism”, because it sought to depict in an artistic manner real spiritual experiences: “It is carried out with a certain aesthetic feeling, everything in it is spiritual-realistic.

  • Il Caso Della Veggente Di Prevorst
    Francesco Lamendola Leggere con lo stomaco, vedere gli spiriti: il caso della veggente di Prevorst Uno dei libri del paranormale che ebbero più larga diffusione nel XIX secolo, affascinando migliaia di lettori e suscitando accese discussioni, fu Die Seherin von Prevorst del dottor Justinus A. C. Kerner, dedicato a un caso notevolissimo di facoltà chiaroveggenti e medianiche, da parte di un soggetto femminile altamente sensitivo. Fu un'opera che fece epoca, spingendo il pubblico delle persone colte a prendere posizione pro o contro la veridicità degli straordinari fenomeni in esso riferiti con abbondanza di particolari. Poi, dopo alcuni decenni di appassionati dibattiti, l'interesse per quel «caso» andò gradualmente smorzandosi e alcuni studiosi del paranormale, che inizialmente si erano mostrati possibilisti sulla serietà di esso, finirono per bollarlo come un gigantesca cantonata, e vi misero una pietra sopra. Ma chi era Justinus Kerner? Si trattava di un medico tedesco dalle idee piuttosto eterodosse, che passava per un eccentrico, forse anche per la sua passione di comporre canzoni e scrivere poesie. Simili attitudini non erano particolarmente apprezzate dalla maggior parte dei suoi sussiegosi colleghi; né la società tedesca dei primi decenni dell'Ottocento era l'ambiente più idoneo per apprezzare una visione spregiudicata della medicina, e in genere della scienza, com'era la sua. Possiamo bene immaginare che la pedanteria professorale doveva essere la regola, piuttosto che l'eccezione; e che uomini di scienza liberi da pregiudizi accademici, come lo era Kerner, costituivano delle vere e proprie mosche bianche. Nel 1826, Kerner aveva quarant'anni ed esercitava a professione medica a Weisberg, nei pressi di Heilbronn, circa a metà strada fra Heidelberg e Stoccarda.

  • The Island of Crossed Destinies Human and Other-Than-Human Perspectives in Afro-Cuban Divination
    The Island of Crossed Destinies human and other-than-human perspectives in Afro-Cuban divination Anastasios Panagiotopoulos Ph.D. in Social Anthropology The University of Edinburgh 2011 I, Anastasios Panagiotopoulos, confirm that the work presented in this thesis is my own and I am the sole composer of it. I also confirm that the work has not been submitted for any other degree or professional qualification. i Abstract This thesis focuses on the significance and articulation of divinatory practices in Cuba a place where a number of different religious traditions (mainly of African and European origins) have come to coexist. Reflecting on the particularities of my ethnography, I concentrate on three such traditions: Ocha/Ifá , Palo Monte and Espiritismo . However, rather than engaging with them as different ‘traditions’ or assuming their syncretic character, I attempt to explore the way in which they constitute distinct but related perspectives on human destiny or, as my friends and informants put it, on people’s ‘path’ ( camino )perspectives, that is, which continuously constitute and recalibrate each other. Echoing the work of authors such as Eduardo Viveiros de Castro, I try to illustrate the nature of these perspectives by bringing to the fore the ways in which different divinatory practices instantiate and embody the efficacy or ‘point of view’ of different ‘other-than-human’ beings be they deities or the dead. Thus, while in the case of Ocha/Ifá and its oracles, I concentrate on the relation between ‘humans’ and the orichas (deities), my discussion of divinatory practices within Palo Monte and Espiritismo places the emphasis on the relation between ‘humans’ and various kinds of the dead ( muertos ).

  • Gegen Den Strom Schwimmen: Hundert Jahre Parapsychologische Forschung (Von Eberhard Bauer)
    Gegen den Strom schwimmen: Hundert Jahre parapsychologische Forschung (von Eberhard Bauer) Wo liegen die Anfänge parapsychologischer Forschung? Der Arzt und Parapsychologie- pionier Rudolf Tischner (1879-1961) schreibt in seiner unübertroffenen Geschichte der Parapsychologie ohne Umschweife: "Erscheinungen, die wir 'parapsychologische' nennen, gibt es seit den Frühzeiten der Menschheit, und schon in den ältesten heiligen Büchern der ersten Kulturvölkern, wie den Indern, Ägyptern, Chaldäern und Chinesen, finden wir sie erwähnt, meist unentwirrbar verwoben mit magischen Vorstellungen und mystisch-religiösen Gedanken und vielfach in legendärer Einkleidung." Man kann diesem Zitat zweierlei entnehmen: Zum einen bilden Berichte über Erscheinungen und Vorgänge, modern als "Psi- Anomalien" bezeichnet, offenbar einen festen Bestandteil der Kulturgeschichte, zum andern weisen diese Berichte bestimmte Muster auf, die sich trotz eines wechselnden soziokulturellen Umfelds identifizieren lassen. Diese auffällige "Gleichförmigkeit des Okkulten" (Hans Bender) ist vielfach dokumentiert: Aus der klassischen Antike sind uns "prophetische" Träume ebenso überliefert wie Divinations- praktiken, Geistererscheinungen oder Spukphänomene einschließlich einer durch die Jahrhunderte gehenden, emotional geführten Kontroverse über das Für und Wider. Die Anfänge einer parapsychologischen Forschung im engeren Sinne lassen sich dagegen recht eindeutig fixieren: Das Wort "Parapsychologie" geht auf Max Dessoir (1867-1947) zurück, eines Philosophieprofessors an der Universität

Author Bios and Acknowledgments Editor List Disease, Morbidity 1 DISEASE, MORBIDITY, AND THE DARK FEMININE Sublime Representations of the Occult and Feminine Death in the Work of Gabriel von Max By Tulasi Johnson abriel von Max, an obscure artist from Munich, produced a canon of images that splen- didly articulate how circulating fantasies regarding the occult, disease, and feminine death coalesced in visual art at the end of the nineteenth century. One can read Von Max as an Gemissary of an era when the feminization of disease was concomitant with the centralization of the feminine in the popular imaginary of the occult. Tese two social phenomena relied on the long-standing cultural understanding of the female body as inherently corrupt and dangerously uncontained, both corporeally and psychically. Although many practicing occult societies enabled women to occupy dominant roles in the creation of emergent, modern ritual practices, this role was circumscribed both by the hegemonic gender roles of Victorian society as well as deeply embedded fears of feminine contamination.
