The “Paranormal” Is Normal
“Psychic phenomena are normal in the sense that they are common: for example, most people have made other people turn round by staring at them, or had seemingly telepathic experience with telephone calls . . .. But because these experiences do not fit in with the materialist mind-in-brain theory, they are classified as paranormal, literally meaning ‘beyond the normal’. In this sense, ‘normal’ is defined not by what actually happens, but by the assumptions of materialists… If psi phenomena exist, which I think they do, they are normal, not paranormal; natural, not supernatural. They are part of human nature and animal nature, and they can be investigated scientifically.”

The Scientific Delusion
An important comment from a new book that I recommend most highly:
“The delusion that science has already answered the fundamental questions chokes off the spirit of enquiry. The materialist agenda was once liberating but is now depressing. Those who believe in it are alienated from their own experience; they are cut off from all religious traditions; and they are prone to suffer from a sense of disconnection and isolation.”
–Rupert Sheldrake (English Biologist, Researcher and Author, 1942-)

The Moment of Insight
“At the moment of insight, a potential pattern of organized behavior comes into being.”
