Miracles of Mind
The authors begin with compelling evidence of psychic abilities gathered in Targ's remote-viewing experiments for the Stanford Research Institute. Targ reveals how the experiments were conducted and how subjects were able to describe remote locations with precise detail. Targ also presents the results of recently declassified, covertly funded CIA experiments in remote spying during the Cold War, published here for the first time. After surveying the scientific evidence of the mind's nonlocal powers, Targ and Katra apply this evidence to the field of healing. Incorporating ancient Eastern teachings and modern scientific evidence published in the most prestigious scientific journals, Targ and Katra explain the process of spiritual healing, which they describe as a quieting of the mind to open it to the community of spirit. The book stays with you long after you put it down. It can change the way you view the world — and yourself.
Parapsychology, Philosophy, and Spirituality
Examines why parapsychology has been held in disdain by scientists, philosophers, and theologians, explores the evidence for ESP, psychokinesis, and life after death, and suggests that these phenomena provide support for a meaningful postmodern spirituality.
The Jesus Conspiracy
Is the Turin Shroud really a fake, or was there an ulterior motive for having it declared as such? This book reconstructs the circumstances surrounding both the Crucifixion and the carbon-dating to arrive at the conclusion that Jesus must still have been alive when he was laid in the tomb. It also claims that the results of the scientific tests were somehow manipulated in order to maintain the tradition, central to the doctrine of the Church, that Jesus died on the Cross.
Jesus Outside the New Testament
Presents evidence and information, aside from the Christian scriptures, on the life and teaching of Jesus Christ. Features excerpts in Roman correspondence and the early Christian writings known as the "New Testament Apocrypha.".
Religion and Scientific Naturalism
Articulates a metaphysical position capable of rendering both science and religious experience simultaneously and mutually intelligible.
Benedict XVI
In these pages Benedict XVI shares his reasons for retiring from the papacy in 2013 in an interview with the author. Many saw his astonishing retirement as a sign of the Church's decline, but he intended it as a seed sown in the hope of bringing the Church a younger, more vigorous leadership in the face of daunting challenges. Among those challenges are the financial and sexual scandals that continue to undermine the Church's mission. When Ratzinger was elected Pope in 2005, he opened a path of purification for the Church, while calling upon the Western world to return to its Christian roots and to build a new humanism for the twenty-first century, and his call for renewal is still relevant. Widely recognized as one of the most important theologians and spiritual leaders of our time, Joseph Ratzinger served throughout the papacy of John Paul II as the Prefect of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith. Both men had witnessed how atheistic philosophies and war had ravaged twentieth-century Europe, and they shared in the effort of revealing to modern man his need for God, for redemption in Jesus Christ.
Basic Research in Parapsychology, 2d ed.
This expanded and revised text includes thirteen experimental reports (five new to this edition) and seven review articles involving meta-analysis and the assessment of evidence in specific areas of psi research. The author provides a representative sample of the extensive literature in the controversial field of parapsychology and presents a few basic experiments illustrating various procedures and broadly reflecting the major trends of psi research. Possible experimental procedures, cumulative evidence showing the replicability of individual experiments, and promising areas of psi research are also discussed. Instructors considering this book for use in a course may request an examination copy here.
The Elements of Parapsychology
Psychic phenomena, recorded throughout human history, remained a mystery or a matter of faith rather than a subject of serious study until scientists began to investigate them roughly a century and a half ago. Systematic experimentation began with the work of J.B. Rhine at Duke University, resulting in the publication of Extra-Sensory Perception (1934) followed by Extra-Sensory Perception After Sixty Years (1940). Rhine and researchers who came after him struggled to present sufficient evidence to gain scientific credibility for the existence of extrasensory abilities. Yet despite tight experimental controls and numerous significant results the subject remains controversial. Parapsychologists argue that the impasse is not due to a lack of evidence but to the challenge their claims pose to the worldview of science in general. This comprehensive overview of the discipline of parapsychology, written by one of its most notable investigators, offers the reader a full understanding of both its concepts, theories and methods, and its controversies, problems and prospects.
The Real Whore of Babylon
The Whore of Babylon examines the reality of cultural and religious beliefs and customs. Intellectual and moral thoughts have resulted in a revolt against organised religion. It is obsolete; its mythology and ritual has become a rubbish heap of waste products, a warehouse of outmoded relics of barbarism and superstition.Organisations where repression has triumphed in the robes of Revealed Truth, brutality in the garb of God's love, greed and power-seeking on the stilts of high moral claims.More than freedom OF religion we need freedom FROM religion.
When Jesus Lived in India: The Quest for the Aquarian Gospel
The problem of the 'missing years' is one of the great biblical an historical mysteries and many theories exist as to how Jesus could have spent those years. Alan Jacobs presents, in an impartial manner, all the evidence about what happened during the nineteen years of Jesus' life missing from the Bible. With new information unveiled, the book addresses the following questions: did Jesus ever go to India or Tibet; what did he do in his missing years; is the Aquarian Gospel authentic; was Notovitch (the notorious author and explorer) a fraud; and, what do the Churches think.
