Has anyone seen this theory yet?

Furthermore, Wright claims that, through the use of specific techniques, it may be possible to transcend the dysfunction of the left hemisphere and access more of our superior right hemisphere function. Some of these claimed functions include, but are not limited to, pseudoscientific concepts such as remote viewing, spiritual healing, and telepathy.

You do realize that MANY of the most innovative thinkers throughout history were originally denounced as heretics, who were in no place to make such outlandish claims.

Have you read the book yet? What did you think of it?

Of all the many extraordinary abilities and powers that humans apparently possess, one of the most controversial yet fascinating is telepathy. Many scientists dismiss the phenomenon but subtle two-way communications have been well documented between mothers and children, twins, sisters and others near relatives.

Other research carried out on staring provides even more evidence that we can have a physiological effect on one another from a distance. Rupert Sheldrake, in his book ‘The Sense of Being Stared At’, has amassed a database of more than 4,500 case histories of apparently unexplained perceptiveness that provides convincing grounds for the veracity of a wide range of psychic phenomena. He includes such senses as ‘telephone telepathy’ (when we think of somebody just before they phone.)

In a study on the mystic traditions of the aborigine people, the eminent author and anthropologist A.P. Elkin gathered compelling examples of higher ‘psychic’ powers. These included clairvoyance, telepathic communication, remote viewing, psychic healing, and journeys to other worlds. The fact that all these have been reported from other cultures too indicates they are part of the human repertoire.

Take remote viewing for instance. Meticulous research by top flight American physicists Hal Puthoff and Russell Targ has established that we humans have the ability to view, or accurately imagine scenes, when given map references or similar cues.

Elizabeth Targ (a psychiatrist and daughter of Russell Targ) achieved parallel results in her profound study on ‘distant healing’. Not only did she find that distant spiritual healing worked (it had a remarkable affect on extremely ill AIDS patients) but when she analysed which healers had the most success, she found it did not depend on beliefs or methodology.
