The Conscious Universe: The Scientific Truth of Psychic Phenomena

The Conscious Universe

A new author for me, but it is clear from the recent books on this list that there is a bit of a theme going on.

Haven’t got far enough into this book as I write this to pass judgement, however in as much as it is – once again – espousing the idea that consciousness is a big subject that we would do well to understand better then it is likely that I will find much that I like. It is pretty much certain that we can currently say that NO ONE actually knows what consciousness is or how it works – so anyone expressing any ideas on the subject runs the risk of ridicule or worse. I suspect that – for many – the idea that there is something “out there” that in some way connects us and that our own consciousness is more than simply “what goes on inside our heads” will be a bit much to handle.

I know that “younger me” would have been tempted to simply dismiss all psi as mumbo jumbo. Now I am not so sure – no, I would go further than that – I am sure that some of the so called “extra sensory perception” that has long been the preserve of the “bizarre” does have a real basis in fact.

Looking forward to reading the rest of the book.
