This myth-shattering book explains the evidence for the veracity of psychic phenomena, uniting the teachings of mystics, the theories of quantum physics, and the latest in high-tech experiments. With painstaking research and deft, engaging prose, Radin dispels the misinformation and superstition that have clouded the understanding of scientists and laypeople alike concerning a host of fascinating oddities. Psychokinesis, remote viewing, prayer, jinxes, and more--all are real, all have been scientifically proven, and the proof is in this book.

Radin draws from his own work at Princeton, Stanford Research Institute, and Fortune 500 companies, as well as his research for the U.S. government, to demonstrate the surprising extent to which the truth of psi has already been tacitly acknowledged and exploited. The Conscious Universe also sifts the data for tantalizing hints of how mind and matter are linked. Finally, Radin takes a bold look ahead, to the inevitable social, economic, academic, and spiritual consequences of the mass realization that mind and matter can influence each other without having physical contact.

Review

Radin is a mix of curiosity, scholarship, technical expertise, and sly wit. (New York Times Magazine)

Looking through The Lost Symbol, it seems that the “new” topic that will benefit from “the Dan Brown effect” is Noetic Science. . . . parapsychology researcher Dean Radin is at the Institute of Noetic Science - these “heretical science” topics are likely to generate much debate. (MSNBC's Cosmic Log)

About the Author

Director of the Consciousness Research Laboratory at the University of Nevada at Las Vegas and twice president of the Parapsychology Association, Dean Radin, Ph.D., has done cutting-edge parapsychology research for AT&T, Stanford, Princeton's Engineering Anomalies Research Lab, the University of Edinburgh, S.R.I. International, and the U.S. Government. He lives in Las Vegas, NV.

Outstanding Book

March 7, 2018

Verified Purchase

An outstanding book that lays out the information on psychological phenomena. The author provides a great deal of information that allows the reader to know what experiments have been done with this phenomenon and what the results mean.The information is neither for or against. The author doesn't advocate his work in the field, but rather provides a cross-section of the work in this field. I really liked the book and now have a better understanding of what has been done scientifically with psychological phenomena.

Very Clear & Easy To Understand!

March 11, 2018

I do highly recommend this book. I not only enjoyed Dr. Radin's writing style but the examples he uses are so clear and easy to understand. This was the first book of Dr. Radin's that I read and because I learned so much I read one of his other books' on Physics/Consciousness titled "Entangled Minds" which I also enjoyed and highly recommend!

Excellent Content but Poorly Written

May 21, 2013

Verified Purchase

This is an extremely well-researched book about scientific evidence for psychic phenomena (referred to as "psi"). The author, a parapsychologist, presents compelling evidence that such phenomena exist by using the technique of meta-analysis, which is an analysis of all the studies on a topic put together. He goes great lengths in debunking the claims of skeptics. I found the evidence presented here both convincing and fascinating. However, the quality of writing is poor, making it tedious, slow reading.

The main section of the book, entitled "Evidence", is about psi-experiments and an analysis of their results. Some phenomena, such as telepathy, clairvoyance (remote viewing), pre-cognition (knowing the future), and psychokinesis (mental manipulation of matter), are statistically proven to have an effect, having been researched thoroughly. Other phenomena, such as prayer-healing and field-consciousness (a unified consciousness between many people who focus on one thing) have not been researched thoroughly enough to prove that they have an effect, but what research there is has generally been positive, and is presented. What is not discussed are phenomena such as poltergeists and out-of-body experiences that cannot be researched in laboratories. The author makes it clear that he takes a strictly scientific approach to psi and therefore limits himself to laboratory-controlled evidence.

In the course of the discussion, many fascinating, though tangential, details of psi are mentioned. For example, in discussing remote viewing, the author quotes a study that found that among its participants, a mere one-percent was able to do remote viewing with consistency, and practice did not help their abilities to improve. In discussing psychokinesis, the author quotes a study that found that when two people worked together to produce a psychokinetic result, if they were a bonded couple, then their outcome was *four* times that of a single person, illustrating the magnified effect of teamwork. A fascinating discussion is also included about the connection between psi ability and fluctuations in the earth's magnetic field ("gyro-magnetic fluctuations"), and how this correlates to the lunar cycle.

Another theme that runs throughout this book is the debunking of skeptical arguments that try to cast doubt on the existence of psi. A few chapters (13, 14 and part of 15) are devoted to explaining the positions of skeptics, why they are wrong, and what motivates them to continue to deny psi even after it has been proven to exist. While all this argumentation strengthens the case for psi, for the average reader, who is not a hardened skeptic, it is overdone and redundant.

While the content of this book is valuable, it is written dryly, in a way that does not engage the reader. At times it is unclear, not giving the reader a thorough understanding of the topic. Nor is it well-structured. For example, the author's credentials are not established until the postscript; before the reader is introduced to what psi-research is, a detailed discussion about the methods used in the research is put forth. All this led to my often feeling frustrated while reading this book.

If you are a hardened skeptic, and want a book that goes great lengths in explaining why skeptics are wrong, then this book is for you. If not, then, while this book has a lot of important content, there may be better-written books on this topic that you will enjoy more.

Somewhat recommended.

A lot of stats but worth the read

October 23, 2016

Verified Purchase

This book was somewhat heavy reading due to a lot of statistical data to wade through, but wade I diligently did, and am glad I took the time, as it was worth the time in the end. When you consider the implications this has for mankind, it is good to know the actual scientific data supporting the existence of PSI. For decades we have been falsely led to believe that PSI is nonsense by mainstream science. That in itself is worthy of a book! The reason for all the stats is to validate the scientific research conducted and to prove mathematically due to odds vrs chance, that PSI is real and that this has indeed been established without doubt by exhaustive scientific experiments conducted over a century.
I find it suspect that mainstream science publications and institutions are still using their tired old claims of PSI being "debunked" as "fraud" when clearly the only fraud here is people who reiterate a falsehood as fact ad nauseum.

A Fascinating and Important Book

July 12, 2013

Verified Purchase

Dean Radin has written a tight, and unpretentious book on the investigations into PSI. I found the second half much more fascinating, but then I am not a scientist and far to right brained to grapple with with the results of the experiments that he highlighted. However, I do very much appreciate how painstaking it was to go through the scientific processes that led to the results that were obtained. I really enjoyed how he clearly outlined the several methods that skeptics employ to repudiate PSI, such as cognitive dissonance. It was fascinating and expanded my understanding of how the human mind deceives itself.

I accept the existence of psychic phenomena...for me it is difficult to rule out anything as impossible in this still very mysterious universe. It is indeed a great mystery in and of itself that science still fears taking on this study of PSI, and certainly very arrogant to dismiss it. Dean is ( sadly) ahead of his time, as are a few others who choose to look into these matters in a rigorous manner. Dogma, whether it's religious or scientific, is really getting old! I wish more people of Dean Radin's powerful intellect would take the leap into truly investigating what is not yet understood. I believe he is exactly right in saying that we have so much to gain by moving forward on this front.
