Most of us know it well – the almost physical sensation that we are the object of someone’s attention. Is the feeling all in our head? And what about related phenomena, such as telepathy and premonitions? Are they merely subjective beliefs? In The Sense of Being Stared At, renowned biologist Rupert Sheldrake explores the intricacies of the mind and discovers that our perceptive abilities are stronger than many of us could have imagined.
Despite a traditional academic background, Sheldrake has devoted his notable career as a scientist and writer to challenging the boundaries of ‘acceptable’ science. A firm believer in the power of an experiment to yield answers about nature, he has dedicated years of intense research to investigating our common beliefs about what he calls our seventh sense. After compiling a database of 4,000 case histories, 2,000 questionnaires, 1,500 telephone interviews, and the results of a decade of scientifically controlled experiments, Sheldrake argues persuasively in this compelling, innovative book that such phenomena are real. In fact, he rejects the label of paranormal and shows how these psychic occurrences are a normal part of human nature.
As an explanation for this more intimate connection with the external world, Sheldrake suggests that our minds are not limited to our brains, but rather stretch outward to touch the beings and objects that we perceive. Once this extended influence of the mind is taken into consideration, many puzzling phenomena begin to make sense, including telepathy and phantom limbs.
Sheldrake shows that telepathy depends on social bonds. He traces its evolution from the connections between members of animal groups such as flocks, schools, and packs. In the modern world, telepathy occurs most commonly just before telephone calls.
Sheldrake summarizes startling new experimental evidence for the reality of telephone telepathy, and shows how readers can do tests for themselves. Combining the tradition of pragmatic experimentation with a refusal to allow science to fall into dogmatism, Sheldrake pioneers an intriguing new inquiry into the mysteries of our deepest nature. Rigorously researched, yet completely accessible, this groundbreaking book provides a refreshing new way of thinking about ourselves and our relationships with other people, with animals, and with the world around us. Rupert Sheldrake, one of the world’s most innovative biologists and writers, is best known for his theory of morphic fields and morphic resonance, which leads to a vision of a living, developing universe with its own inherent memory.
He worked in developmental biology at Cambridge University, where he was a Fellow of Clare College. He was then Principal Plant Physiologist at the International Crops Research Institute for the Semi-Arid Tropics (ICRISAT), in Hyderabad, India. From 2005 to 2010 he was Director of the Perrott-Warrick project. , funded from Trinity College, Cambridge.

In this edited excerpt from his forthcoming book, renowned researcher and author Stephan Schwartz discusses the subtle and transformative impacts of “remote viewing” and accessing nonlocal mind.
Three of the most mysterious things a person can experience are spiritual ecstasy, the ah–ha! moment of creative genius, and a verifiable “non-local awareness” event—what is often called a psychic event. Let me propose what I think a growing body of interdisciplinary research and a millennia of ethno-history both suggest: These three enigmatic occurrences are, in fact, different manifestations of the same process, sometimes seen as spiritual, sometimes as brilliance, and sometimes as merely strange. Each is modulated by the intent of the practitioner and the context in which the experience is placed.
A transcendentalist, for example, seeks spiritual experience and has one appropriate to their personal psychology. A scientist seeks, and sometimes discovers, a fundamental insight into how the world works. A person practicing a psychic discipline such as remote viewing seeks to describe a person, place, or event from which they are separated by reason of time or space. They get sense impressions and have a sense of knowingness just as if they were physically present. Sometimes these experiences come unbidden—and you yourself have probably had one at some point in your life.
Stephan Schwartz
Stephan A. Schwartz is the Senior Samueli Fellow for Brain, Mind and Healing of the Samueli Institute, and a Research Associate of the Cognitive Sciences Laboratory of the Laboratories for Fundamental Research.
He is the columnist for the journal Explore, and editor of the daily web publication Schwartzreport.net in both of which covers trends that are affecting the future. He also writes regularly for The Huffington Post. Previously he was the founder and Research Director of the Mobius laboratory, and Director of Research of the Rhine Research Center, Senior Fellow of The Philosophical Research Society, Special Assistant for Research and Analaysis to the Chief of Naval Operations, and an editorial staff member of National Geographic.
For 40 years he has been studying the nature of consciousness, particularly that aspect independent of space and time. Schwartz is part of the small group that founded modern Remote Viewing research, and is the principal researcher studying the use of Remote Viewing in archaeology. Using Remote Viewing he discovered Cleopatra’s Palace, Marc Antony’s Timonium, ruins of the Lighthouse of Pharos, and sunken ships along the California coast, and in the Bahamas.
He also uses remote viewing to examine the future. Since 1978, he has been getting people to remote view the year 2050, and out of that has come a complex trend analysis. His submarine experiment, Deep Quest, using Remote Viewing helped determine that nonlocal perception is not an electromagnetic phenomenon. Other areas of experimental study include research into creativity, meditation, and Therapeutic Intent/Healing. He is the author of 50 technical papers and reports. In addition to his experimental studies he has written numerous magazine articles for Smithsonian, OMNI, American History, American Heritage, The Washington Post, The New York Times, as well as other magazines and newspapers. He has produced and written a number of television documentaries, and has written four books: The Secret Vaults of Time, The Alexandria Project, Mind Rover and his latest, Opening to the Infinite.
A true transcendental journey to the homeland of the psyche…
A DIVINE JOURNEY
To the dimension where the future is grounded…
The Fifth dimension is an inner dimension which is administered by the divine essence of the universe, with thousands of galaxies. The so called Nefelon Galaxy has millions of stars, all of them inhabited. All of the stars pulsate with high frequencies and belong to spheres of different perception. There exist forms; though the molecular synthesis is more subtle.
The Nephelon Galaxy is the world of the completed existence, where future mutations are planned and ascertained. It is there that everything is materialized and then channeled to open-minded people on Earth.
As time travelers, we can now journey to the wonderful planets of the Nephelon Galaxy, and participate in advanced programs of self-awareness and transmutation to receive divine genetic proto-forms through hyper frequencies.
Divine power is therefore activated from these advanced programs, and the participants develop hyper awareness and intellect. Thus, their neurons are transformed, certain charismas appear, and creation and material abundance emerge within the people who experience psychic and spiritual advancement; love is upgraded.
The high frequency vibrations activate the union of soul-mates, bonded with love energy of a higher level, while women’s uteruses are mutated in order to bear crystalline souls.
The rising number of births of crystalline souls defines a new circle of Earth’s evolution and development—preparing the way for the meta-humans.
This book contains secret keys, which constitute codes for mutation and transformation—codes that activate the psychic archives of people. Thus its readers, unconsciously, go through the initiation stages and ascend evolutionary levels.
Maria Zavou – Who is Who.mp4
The identity of Maria Zavou, the woman behind “Gate of Angels”
On February 4, 1974, members of the Symbionese Liberation Army kidnapped nineteen-year-old newspaper heiress Patricia Hearst from her Berkeley, California apartment. Desperate to find her, the police called physicist Russell Targ and Pat Price, a psychic retired police commissioner. As Price turned the pages of the police mug book filled with hundreds of photos, suddenly he pointed to one of them and announced, “That’s the ringleader.” The man was Donald DeFreeze, who was indeed subsequently so identified. Price also described the type and location of the kidnap car, enabling the police to find it within minutes. That remarkable event is one reason Targ believes in ESP. Another occurred when his group made $120,000 by forecasting for nine weeks in a row the changes in the silver-commodity futures market.
As a scientist, Targ demands proof. His experience is based on two decades of investigations at the Stanford Research Institute (SRI), which he cofounded with physicist Harold Puthoff in 1972. This twenty-million dollar program launched during the Cold War was supported by the CIA, NASA, the Defense Intelligence Agency, and Army and Air Force Intelligence. The experiments they conducted routinely presented results could have happened by chance less than once in a million. Targ describes four types of experiments:
1. Remote Viewing, in which a person describes places and events independent of space and time. For example, while in California Price drew to scale a Soviet weapons factory at Semipalitinsk with great accuracy later confirmed by Satellite photography. In another remote viewing, Targ accurately sketched an airport in San Andreas, Columbia himself.
2. Distant Mental Influence, where the thoughts of the experimenter can positively or negatively affect the physiology (heart rate, skin resistance, etc.) of a distant person.
3. Whole field isolation, where someone in a state of sensory isolation accurately describes the visual experiences of someone else in another place.
4. Precognition and retrocausality, showing that the future can affect the past. That is, the elephant you see on television in the morning can be the cause of your having dreamed about elephants the previous night.
Final chapters present evidence for survival after death; explain how ESP works based on the Buddhist/Hindu view of our selves as nonlocal, eternal awareness; discuss the ethics of exercising psychic abilities,and show us how to explore ESP ourselves. “I am convinced,” Targ says, “that most people can learn to move from their ordinary mind to one not obstructed by conventional barriers of space and time. Who would not want to try that?”
Russell Targ is a physicist and author, and was a pioneer in the development of the laser and laser applications. He holds his B.S. in Physics from Queens College, and did graduate work in physics at Columbia University. Targ has received two National Aeronautics and Space Administration awards for inventions and contributions in lasers and laser communications, and has published over one hundred scientific papers on lasers, plasma physics and ESP research.
In the 1970s and 1980s, Targ co-founded and worked for the CIA-sponsored Stanford Research Institute’s investigation into psychic abilities. His work in this new area, called remote viewing, was published in Nature, The Proceedings of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers and in Proceedings of the American Association for the Advancement of Science. In 1983 and 1984, he accepted invitations to present remote viewing demonstrations and address the USSR Academy of Sciences on this research.
In 1997, Targ retired from Lockheed Martin Missiles & Space Co. as a senior staff scientist, where he developed airborne laser systems for the detection of windshear. Targ now teaches remote viewing workshops worldwide and continues to write. He is co-author of eight books dealing with the scientific investigation of psychic abilities, including Limitless Mind: A Guide to Remote Viewing, Transformation of Consciousness and his autobiography Do You See What I See: Memoirs of a Blind Biker.
Russell Targ is also an editor, publisher, songwriter, producer and teacher. He lives in Palo Alto, California with his wife Patricia.
Russell Targ, laser physicist and well-known author, cofounded Stanford Research Institute’s $25 million program to explore psychic abilities in the 1970′s and 80′s. His new book “The Reality of ESP” details this research. Much like the meditative practices described by Buddhists teachings for the past three millennia, Targ teaches how to separate the analytical overlay, or mental mind chatter, from the true psychic information we all inherently possess.
Interview with Russell Targ CIA REMOTE VIEWING
An interview with the famous American physicist Russell Targ who discusses the Remote Viewing research done by his team at the Stamford Research Institute.
The saints and mystics are unanimous in their belief that we are not the separate beings we believe ourselves to be, but that we are in reality—One. Best-selling author, filmmaker, and musician James Twyman tested this in a dramatic experiment that has inspired hundreds of thousands of people, proving that our thoughts can be shared and that we are not as isolated as we once thought. There is a bond that exists between us, an unseen link that unites and satisfies us in ways that nothing else can. In the end, what we are seeking is not the riches of the world, but the richness of our souls; and this can only come from realizing that we are connected and whole. Simply put: We are One.
Join James and spiritual teacher Anakha Coman as they break down the process of discovering Oneness into 40 practices that can profoundly change your life and how you see the world. Through step-by-step instructions, you’ll be able to tap into your own hidden power to achieve the miracles you only dreamed of before. This is more than an instruction manual—it’s a doorway into a new world.
James F. Twyman is the best-selling author of ten books, including Emissary of Light and The Art of Spiritual Peacemaking. He’s also an internationally renowned “Peace Troubadour” who has the reputation for drawing millions of people together in prayer to positively influence crises throughout the world. He has been invited by the leaders of Iraq, Northern Ireland, South Africa, Bosnia, Croatia, and Serbia to perform The Peace Concert—often while conflicts raged in those areas. He has performed at the United Nations, the Pentagon, and other venues. James is also the executive producer and co-writer of the feature film Indigo, and the director of Indigo Evolution and the documentary The Moses Code.
Anakha Coman is a sacred-heart mystic walking and teaching the path of embodied love and reclaiming the sacred feminine. She is an ordained New Thought minister and founder of The Fire Heart Sanctuary (www.fireheartsanctuary.com), a beloved community of sacred activists devoted to resurrecting the essential teachings of Yeshua and Magdalene and living the Christ consciousness. Anakha is an inspired speaker who shares her intimate experience of the mystic’s path with churches, spiritual centers, and organizations throughout the Pacific Northwest and abroad.

Its time to prove, once and for all, that separation is an illusion, and in reality, we are one. Here’s The Proof. Someone has hidden a book somewhere in the Continental US, and the only person who knows where it is the person who hid it. This is not a trick and no ones in on the game. The woman who hid the book wont say a word just focus on the spot where its hidden. If James finds the book, then Hay House will make a $50,000 donation to charity. But if he doesn’t, James will make the donation himself.
It is possible that the saints and mystics were right when they said were not the limited, separate beings we thought we were? Is it possible that our power extends further than we ever thought possible? Well its time to find out. Watch tangible proof that we really are One. And then you’ll have the opportunity to do it yourself through a special Internet course offered by Hay House. Will he succeed or fail? You’ll have to find out for yourself.
THERE IS NO PLACE IN THIS NEW KIND OF PHYSICS BOTH FOR THE FIELD AND MATTER, FOR THE FIELD IS THE ONLY REALITY. ~ ALBERT EINSTEIN
Has our Creator a divine plan for us? Is our future safe? Do we have to prepare for catastrophic Earth changes? Are we in changing times? How do we manifest prosperity? In A Time of Change,Aingeal Rose O’Grady offers us the opportunity to hear the Source speak through the Akashic Records. In group sessions recorded in Ireland and the United States over the past several years, people have sought and received answers to their questions from the Akashic Records on global and universal subjects.
Aingeal Rose’s unique ability to access the Akashic information field has opened the door to startling new information about our lives and our world and reveals a much bigger plan for humanity and the Earth than previously thought. This book will comfort your mind and spirit and reawaken what you have always known – that God’s love is alive and well and holds you in the palm of Its hand.
For centuries, while modern scientists have been trying to understand the reality of what Einstein said in the 20th Century about “the field,” gifted people like Aingeal (Ann-gail) Rose O’Grady have been using their rare abilities to tap into this field for information in order to answer many of our most pressing questions about God, our souls, and the universe. What science has yet to understand is that humanity has a direct channel to this subtle realm, often called the Akashic Records.
A Time of Change, the first book in the Honest-To-God series, from Aingeal, taps into the Akashic Records. Presented in a question-and-answer format, A Time of Change allows readers to experience the answers as they came through from the Records. This information offers an understanding that our individual fears and struggles are shared by many, and that there are solutions to our most vexing problems.
Akashic comes from “Akasha,” which is a Sanskrit word meaning “ether,” and it implies a spiritual plane or substance where the entire history of life in the cosmos, and knowledge of the human experience is recorded and kept. It has been described as a library that is constantly updated and where each one of us has our own “book” of our many lifetimes and sojourns into matter. This concept was derived from the Hindu philosophy of Samkhya and popularized in the theosophical movements of the 19th Century.
As a regular meditator on her own spiritual journey, at times Aingeal would spontaneously find herself in her own Records. There always seemed to be a purpose to it—usually to understand a past lifetime or to forgive an event in the past or present. Because of the quality of information she was accessing, she received training and has done readings for individual clients for the past 15 years. It was the many duplicate questions she received that led her to begin group sessions in 2010 in Ireland, then in the United States.
When Aingeal asks a question of the “field,” the answers are multi-layered and “impressed”upon her. Once she receives this first impression, she must express it before more information can flow, even if at first it may not seem relevant. This first step is very important in helping groups and individuals receive grace from the readings since it appears that Source knows what needs to be told for each individual question and in what order.
At the current time, the massive global awakening that we are going through seems to be first and foremost in people’s minds. All over the world, a paradigm shift is occurring from the old view of a mechanistic world where everything is controlled, to a holistic view of a synergistic and cooperative world. As old systems crumble, those within them are desperately trying to hang on to their control.
The questions and answers in A Time of Change speak directly to these issues, such as:
• What is true prosperity, (which has nothing to do with money)?
• How do we preserve our food, water, health, etc.?
• How does technology effect our bodies?
• What can we expect from our financial institutions?
• Who are we as our true selves, and our future selves?
• What is the negative agenda and how does it effect our energy?
• What was The Fall, and how does it still influence us today?
Other topics of vital importance include suicides, Euthanasia, how oil and Big Pharma profits keep us down, and what we can do to avoid these influences, improve our health and help the earth at the same time.
Aingeal clearly illuminates the myriad of influences in our world, between the Negative Agenda’s Plan vs. the Plan of God-Source, which leads us to the realization that these polarities exist within each one of us in the form of our “split spirit.” Since our outer world reflects our inner world, it is critical to realize that inner balancing must occur within us first, between our Light and our shadow, and between our masculine and feminine energies, before we can make this shift. We must choose where we are focusing our energies because it does effect a greater universe.
Ultimately, the truth that comes through Aingeal from the Records inspires us to feel empowered through these tumultuous times. We come to the understanding that no matter what may go on in our world or personal lives, a greater plan exists and we truly are supported.

Full description for Science and Psychic Phenomena
Reports of psychic abilities, such as telepathy, clairvoyance, precognition, and psychokinesis, date back to the beginning of recorded human history in all cultures. Documented, reproducible evidence exists that these abilities are real, yet the mainstream scientific community has vehemently denied the existence of psi phenomena for centuries. The battle over the reality of psi has carried on in scientific academies, courtrooms, scholarly journals, newspapers, and radio stations and has included scandals, wild accusations, ruined reputations, as well as bizarre characters on both sides of the debate.
If true evidence exists, why then is the study of psi phenomena–parapsychology–so controversial? And why has the controversy lasted for centuries? Exploring the scandalous history of parapsychology and citing decades of research, Chris Carter shows that replicable evidence of psi phenomena exists. The controversy over parapsychology continues not because ESP and other abilities cannot be verified but because their existence challenges deeply held worldviews more strongly rooted in religious and philosophical beliefs than in hard science.
By outlining the origin of this passionate debate, Carter calls on all open-minded individuals to disregard the church of skepticism and reach their own conclusions by looking at the vast body of evidence. Carter reveals how the doctrine of materialism–in which nothing matters but matter–has become an infallible article of faith for many scientists and philosophers, much like the convictions of religious fundamentalists. Consequently, the possibility of psychic abilities cannot be tolerated because their existence would refute materialism and contradict a deeply ingrained ideology.
Physicist and author Thomas Campbell gives a lucid account of the double slit experiment and recent adaptations.
IMPOSSIBLE REALITIES: The Science Behind Energy Healing, Telepathy, Reincarnation, Precognition, and Other Black Swan Phenomena is a book about the truth.
The truth that psychic phenomena are real and not imaginary.
The truth that the paranormal is far less “para” than it is “normal.”
The truth that “being psychic” is, most likely a natural human capability.
The truth that there is a ton of rigorous, scientific, peer-reviewed evidence that supports all those other truths.
Impossible Realities is one of the first books to examine the science behind psychic and paranormal activity. A former Defense Department expert on artificial intelligence, Maureen Caudill provides evidence for a wide range of paranormal phenomena.
Impossible Realities presents a wealth of anecdotal and empirical evidence to prove the existence (and power) of:
psychokinesis (most famously spoon bending)
remote viewing
energy healing
telepathy, animal telepathy
precognition
survival after death
reincarnation
Caudill presents the strongest case yet for bringing paranormal phenomena from the margins into the realm of the normal and credible. This is a book both for true believers and skeptics alike. Maureen Caudill spent more than twenty years as a computer scientist, fifteen of those as a researcher in artificial intelligence and neural networks. She was a program manager and Artificial Intelligence researcher working on such advanced projects as DARPA (“High Performance Knowledge Base” program) and ARDA (“Advanced Question Answering for Intelligence” program).
Astonishing Lessons for the 21st Century from the Spiritual Masters
After years of daily meditation, Sophie Rose was contacted by a being that she perceived as Jesus. A non-religious person, at first she was shocked by the possibility that the divine presence might be real. Ultimately, Rose realized that she was to be a conduit for two of the greatest spiritual masters who have ever lived. Her astonishing new book presents a series of detailed spiritual lessons as relayed to her by Jeshua and Mary Magdalene.
Dictated to the author during the silence of her meditations was the “Way of the Heart” course, consisting of thirty-six lessons. In the tradition of the international best-seller, A Course in Miracles, Rose lays out the channeled series of spiritual messages as a blue print for connecting with one’s soul, with God and with others in a compassionate, loving way. Also included in the book are questions from a small group of people who were able to -remarkably- receive answers from the two beings. Click to Preview Here
