Psychical and Supernormal Phenomena by Paul Joire Pdf

Excerpt from Psychical and Supernormal Phenomena: Their Observation and Experimentation The thorough study of Hypnotism has drawn attention to phenomena which seem, on the one hand, only to be the continuation of hypnotic phenomena, and, on the other, to be connected with faculties of the human mind hitherto unknown. These phenomena are, first of all, those of mental suggestion and thought-transmission, which we have studied in our Traite de l'Hypnotisme. In other cases, we have witnessed phenomena of lucidity in certain subjects placed in a condition of deep somnambulism. In studying lucidity more closely we noticed that certain special circumstances, and in particular a methodical training, develop this faculty in a singular manner in those endowed with it. The investigator is thus led to inquire whether this faculty of lucidity does not sometimes appear spontaneously, in the same way as we witness spontaneous somnambulism in connection with induced somnambulism. He then finds a certain number of cases of telepathy which seem to be closely connected with the instances of lucidity. After embarking upon the study of telepathy it is not long before we become convinced that the phenomena of this category are very complex. In fact, while certain instances of telepathy are only the mental perception of a fact that has occurred at a distance, there are others in which this perception is accompanied by an hallucination, and sometimes this hallucination is collective.

Psychics, Sensitives and Somnambules by Rodger I. Anderson Pdf

Claimants of paranormal abilities have always attracted controversy and fascination, and sometimes rigorous study by scientists. Charles Bailey, an Australian medium, was seemingly able to materialize different objects--animate and inanimate--under conditions which made it difficult to conceive how they could have been normally produced. Sumitra Singh, a woman of Northern India who in 1984 became subject to epileptic-type seizures, claimed to be possessed by spirits of the dead. Franck Kluski was a Polish poet, banker and physical medium who specialized in both human and animal materializations. This biographical dictionary contains profiles of 330 psychics worldwide from Tony Agpaoa to Elenor Zugun, each accompanied by a bibliography listing the primary sources consulted. The primary focus is on those claimed psychics who have figured prominently in the history of the subject, though some lesser-known figures are included to show how rich, varied, and colorful that history has been. The aim throughout is to present each case as fairly and dispassionately as the facts allow, with a particular eye for accuracy in details and presentation. The approach is historical, not apologetic or accusatory, making the work ideally suited as a permanent reference.

REINCARNATION REFUTED is the first definitive proof that reincarnation does not happen. Opposing the grain of New Age thinking, the approach is logical, self-contained and free of religious dogma. Published for the first time is the Impossibility Theorem; the spiritual constitution of the self and the relationship between spirit possession and obsession; mind-body interaction and how it produces the strange phenomena often attributed to reincarnation; an original critique of reincarnationism's best known work, Twenty Cases Suggestive of Reincarnation. Whatever the reader's interests, beliefs or religious persuasion, REINCARNATION REFUTED is a fascinating journey of discovery into belief, logic and the paranormal.

The Problems of Psychical Research Experiments and Theories in the Realm of the Supernormal (Classic Reprint) by Hereward Carrington Pdf

Excerpt from The Problems of Psychical Research Experiments and Theories in the Realm of the Supernormal The present edition of this book is to some extent-an abridgement of the first edition, which appeared some seven years ago. I have, for instance, omitted a num ber of cases which were originally included, and also my sittings with Mrs. Piper - which material will be published at a later date in another volume. I have also omitted the original First Chapter, - since much of this material was subsequently included in my Modern Psychical Phenomena. On the other hand, I have in cluded a new chapter on Recent Experiments in Psychic Photography, - composed partly of original and hitherto unpublished material, and partly of the experiments undertaken, some years ago, by Dr. Baraduc, - in pho tog'raphing the soul. The account of his experiments was originally published in my book, Death: its Causes and Phenomena, but they are now included here as being more in line with other experiments recently under taken in this field. I have also added a brief chapter on the Scientific Investigation of Psychic Phenomena by means of Laboratory Instruments.

The Problems of Psychical Research Experiments and Theories in the Realm of the Supernormal by Hereward Carrington Pdf

Excerpt from The Problems of Psychical Research Experiments and Theories in the Realm of the Supernormal In the following pages I have dealt chiefly with the mental or psychological phenomena of psychical research, and have not touched upon the "physical" manifestations to any extent. The book is mostly theoretical and constructive in tone; and, because of its speculative character, it may, perhaps, prove of value to future psychical investigators. It represents the authors conclusions after several years' experimentation; and, in a field so new as this, scientific hypotheses and speculations are assuredly helpful - indicating the road we must travel, and the possible interpretation of certain facts, which have been accumulated in the past, as the result of years of laborious research. I believe that practically all the phenomena of spiritualism are true; that is, that they have occurred in a genuine manner from time to time in the past; that they are supernormal in character, and are genuine phenomenal occurrences. But as to the further question: "What is the nature of the intelligence lying behind and controlling these phenomena?" - that, I think, is as yet unsolved, and is likely to remain so for some time to come. I do not believe that the simple spiritistic explanation - especially as at present held - is the correct one, nor one that explains all the facts; for I believe that the phenomena are more complicated than this.
