Amazon.com Review
Relying on their strengths--he a pioneering physicist and she a highly respected spiritual healer--Targ and Katra reveal scientific evidence and gripping stories to prove the innate psychic power of the human mind. This collaboration first began when Katra helped Targ miraculously cure himself of metastatic cancer. Skeptics will probably find themselves impressed by the thoroughness of Targ's research as well as his highly plausible conclusions. For example, Targ reveals for the first time the startling results of declassified CIA experiments in psychic spying during the Cold War. Believers in spiritual healing will find support in Katra's impressive credentials and rich storytelling. The authors share a gift for engaging but spare prose, which makes for highly palatable reading, despite the density of ideas and information. --Gail Hudson

Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
This hybrid work covers the phenomenon of spiritual healing from both a scientific (Rusell's) and a personal/subjective (Katra's) experience. The scientific part of the book will not convince anyone who is still in denial about the existence of psi phenomena, as it doesn't discuss hard statistical data and parapsychological methodology. If that is what you are looking for, read Radin's "The Conscious Universe" instead. However, for the reader who has accepted the reality of psi phenomena, but wants to learn more, it gives a good introduction to the recent history of parapsychological research, and to what this research has taught us about the factors that affect psi performance.
For me however, the highlight of the book is Katra's part. Her deeply personal, moving account of healing people through spiritual means has an immensely uplifting quality, and it is because of that that I particularly recommended this book to people who are suffering from a chronic illness. This might help them to keep up hope, or to regain it if lost.

"There is no doubt," write the authors, "that we have contact with the future in a way that shows unequivocally that we misunderstand our relationship to the dimension of time." There it is -- the turning point for the entire ballet of this stunning book. Thank you, Russell Targ and Jane Katra for bringing between these covers the stories of your professional lives and the pas de deux of such different approaches -- cutting-edge physics research and spiritual healing. It is a brave and beautiful book. Message to those who would disparage this book: first educate yourselves a little bit about quantum physics. Then come back and read it again with all your heart.

Format:Paperback
Russell Targ shares his personal experiences with remote-viewing experiments at Stanford Research Institute, and includes fascinating photos and sketches that show the amazing accuracy remote viewers have frequently demonstrated. Jane Katya shares her personal experiences with healing touch, and how she came to work in the field of healing using Therapeutic Touch. Targ and Katya gracefully take the reader from their real-life stories to the current physical theories which can best explain non-local healing and viewing. This book is spell-binding, since it so carefully examines seemingly inexplicable phenomena from a very down-to-Earth point of view. I highly recommend this book to anyone interested in enriching their lives through remote viewing and healing.

quite wonderful
Hello,
This book is a terrific mix of both science-type information and what could be considered almost opposite-healing in a psychic way. Read more

Evidence of the Psi Dimension
I was fascinated and pleased to see how a scientist opens his mind and recognizes what is called the psychic reality which has been expressed by mystics over the centuries.
