Well-documented, in-depth books shed new light on the existence and meaning of paranormal and parapsychological eventsIn this radical revision of their 1970 investigation of Russian parapsychological research, the authors present six new chapters of post-Cold War activities. They offer evidence indicating that the Russians have been successful in harnessing psychic energy and show how Russian scientists advised Pentagon officials on controlling the thoughts of David Koresh during the 1993 Waco, Texas standoff

Still worthy of attention! Revelations from the ex-"Communist Bloc"

Reviewed in the United States on March 2, 2017

Verified Purchase

Since the dominant and indeed official ideology of the Soviet Union and other socialist states was Dialectical-Materialism, it would have been reasonable to assume that there was no research done there into things like "parapsychology," extrasensory perception, telepathy and the like. In fact, however, as Sheila Schroeder and Lynn Ostrander have demonstrated at length in this 1970 book - the "Eastern Bloc" was actually very much involved in research into those "mystic" fields. In fact it might not be amiss to say that there was more de facto official acceptance of parapsychology in the "Communist" countries than there was in the West, where the mindset of the academic/scientific establishment simply ignores such things. If anything, today, the "New Inquisition" (as the late Robert Anton Wilson called it) by the western scientific establishment that bans serious consideration of anything smacking of "mysticism" is even more pronounced today than it was in the late 20th Century.

I found a lot of valuable nuggets in each chapter - information that people who want to do or practice any paranormal/psychic ability will find useful. It also shows that here in the United States we have been lagging behind Russia for decades in our own research and development of these abilities. It's an issue of cultural acceptance, of course. I found many concepts from the Russian research described in the book which relate to these recent works on telekinesis: Meditation X: Telekinesis: The Mindfulness Practice of Moving Matter with Subtle Energy and Intention Defy Your Limits: The Telekinesis Training Method

No longer science fiction

Reviewed in the United States on August 14, 2012

Verified Purchase

The book is quite old, but can still amaze you. The co-authors were quite thorough in their research, and have covered many of the phenomena which used to be derided and laughed at. Some of the experiments discussed are mind-boggling for the newbies to psychic science. Furthermore, the age of the book has allowed modern science to catch up somewhat. The book should no longer be considered science fiction, but is being proved up more and more every year.

This is an amazing book. Extremely well written, and with facts that have somehow been lost in more recent writings on the topic. Highly recommend it.
