Praise for The Synchronized Universe... “I give this significant work my highest recommendation. It is a landmark book that deserves wide recognition. ” -- Dr. Eugene F. Mallove, Editor-in-Chief, Infinite Energy Magazine in book review “It is a great work in every sense... Your book is very timely. It covers all the relevant ground, and gives reliable data on many subjects where data is hard to find. It will be of great use as a reference. Also, being well written, it will be a pleasure to read. ” —John Michel, author, The New View Over Atlantis "Physicist Dr. Claude Swanson has written a superb book on the subject of paranormal research, experiments and theories. Topics included in this masterful book include: prophecies, remote viewing, extra-sensory perception, psychokinesis, group consciousness, cell- to-cell consciousness, levitation, teleportation, out-of-body experiences, adepts, and near death experiences. Each subject is presented with remarkable clarity, a historical overview, relevant diagrams and insightful observations into what appears to be going on... " The Synchronized Universe maintains an impressive overall sense of purpose while covering a vast range of subject matter, and brings it all together in the riveting final chapter in which Swanson presents the Synchronized Universe Model (SUM), to describe how consciousness influences the physical world... “I giveThe Synchronized Universe my very highest recommendation! It is ideal for anyone seeking a logical, scientific theory to explain and predict paranormal phenomena. ” --Cynthia Sue Larson, www. RealityShifters. com ”1 am swamped with required reading, but I just had to ’leaf through’ that book! I was thrilled that he had summaries at the end of every chapter, so I was able to at least read those. When time permits, I will go back. It is amazing how he was able to connect all the learning (and books) that I have done since I was a teenager. What a great resource book for me to have in my library! WOW... what a brilliant man! ” --Deborah, Phoenix, Arizona “Claude Swanson is an amazing man. I am deeply honored to call this scientific genius my friend. I absolutely loved his book. The Synchronized Universe and was inspired by his vision and passion so evident within these pages. Enjoy this wonderful paradigm stretching book. It is invaluable! ” —Dr. Richard Bartlett, developer of Matrix Energetics. “Due to its comprehensive and exciting subject matter, Swanson’s book is a real page-turner, with neat summaries at the end of each chapter... This book is a pleasure to read, to share, and to donate to your local school and public libraries. ” —Camille James Harmon, UFO Magazine Book Review ”Dr. Swanson in his important book, The Synchronized Universe, reveals that some physical theories may have to change to accommodate solid ESP findings. He shows us these data down through the years through words, pictures and graphs... One needs to get out on the edge of what is known and design research which will provide additional information. I believe Dr. Swanson is that kind of researcher and he certainly shows strong evidence in his book why it will be necessary to change some of our theories in order to expand our knowledge. ” —Janet Lee Mitchell, Ph. D., author of Out-of-Body Experiences, A Handbook —Dr. Swanson has allowed us to join his inspired and inspirational research into life’s mysteries. This unique contribution brings worlds together and offers a next step in our human education. ” —Rabbi Michael Shapiro ’’Once again, Claude Swanson brings to the forefront a brilliant manner of looking at the future of universal knowledge. I highly recommend this book as a must-read for anyone who seeks to truly understand the truth of the world we live in; a world where what we consider real and what we consider supernatural are merging. The paranormal is no longer hypothetical - it is a quantitative science. ” —Dannion Brinkley, best-selling author of Secrets of the Light: Lessons from Heaven ” The Synchronized Universe is a well-written and exciting presentation of the latest scientific evidence proving the existence of the paranormal. Swanson’s suggestions about how present physics can be modified to understand and explain some of these strange phenomena may go a long way to healing the ancient split between science and spirituality. The implications of this book are far- reaching. ” —Brad Steiger, best selling author, Mysteries of Space and Time “The Synchronized Universe, by physicist Dr. Claude Swanson, Ph. D, provides a revised model of Quantum Mechanics that supports the evidence for ESP as well as a model for UFO propulsion. In my opinion his model effectively bridges the traditions of ancient mysticism and modern science. Kudos to John Schuessler for inviting Dr. Swanson to the MUFON Conference. ” —Dr. Leo Sprinkle, Life Member, American Association for the Advancement of Science, Professor Emeritus, University of Missouri. “The Synchronized Universe has laid a powerful scientific foundation for our next quantum leap in science and human understanding. It appears that the industrial and technology revolutions will soon be dwarfed by this greater grasp of natural laws and our abilities as a human race. Kudos to The Synchronized Universe... ” —Rick Nelson, Director, Paranormal Research Forum THE SYNCHRONIZED UNIVERSE NEW SCIENCE OF THE PARANORMAL by Dr. Claude Swanson Poseidia Press 7320 North La Cholla Suite #154-304 Tucson, AZ 85741 www. synchronizeduniverse. com Third Printing - Revised and Updated Copyright 2003, 2009 by Claude V.
