Dialog with Lynne McTaggart

Click here to access a recent conversation I had with Lynne McTaggart, author of the bestselling book, The Field, and the recent followup, The Intention Experiment. This dialog is hosted by the Institute of Noetic Sciences.

Dean,
Very interesting. I am becoming more and more fascinated with the implications of The Field after reading Ervin Laszlo's 'The Whispering Pond'. Indeed you may be interested in the implications of my work with regard to human consciousness and the nature of reality.

Dean, I know it's off topic, but did you see that James Randi had a go at you in his latest newsletter? You earned the coveted "woo-woo" label and the usual ad hominem nonsense. Funny how a non-scientist like Randi is all pro-science unless the scientists pursue subjects of which he doesn't approve. You and Dr. Steven Braude have both been tarred and feathered recently.

Finally, the coveted woo-woo. I wonder what took him so long? Randi is such a charming goofball. You've got to admire that kind of passion in an old man, however confused he may be. I wish him well.

Dean,
I suspect that you may find my site on Blogger to be of potential interest - I am up to my allocated 100 maximum 'posting members' and there is some interesting themes being followed through. This can be found at

It also seems that on Amazon.com people that buy your book Entangled Minds also buy mine (and vice versa)!

I would be pleased if you considered opening up a more personal dialogue - if so I can be contacted on my general email address: cheattheferryman@aol.com

Cheers

Tony

" You've got to admire that kind of passion in an old man..."

That's easy for you to say -- having been born on a leap day, you have many fewer birthdays!

And you have a birthday coming up tomorrow! Congratulations in advance!

I have just started reading Entangled Minds and I was particularly interested on your reference to Philip K Dick on page 25. As Dick is one of the major subjects of my next book The Daemon - The Introduction To Your Extraordinary Hidden Self I have placed a posting on my blog. In this I have referenced you, your book, and given a link to your blogsite.(http://cheatingtheferryman.blogspot.com/)

If you can please take a moment to read what I have posted. I it possible that you may find it of interest.

Skeptic agrees that remote viewing is proven

Image
Excerpt from a January 2008 item in the UK's The Daily Mail newspaper: In 1995, the US Congress asked two independent scientists to assess whether the $20 million that the government had spent on psychic research had produced anything of value. And the conclusions proved to be somewhat unexpected. Professor Jessica Utts, a statistician from the University of California, discovered that remote viewers were correct 34 per cent of the time, a figure way beyond what chance guessing would allow. She says: "Using the standards applied to any other area of science, you have to conclude that certain psychic phenomena, such as remote viewing, have been well established. "The results are not due to chance or flaws in the experiments." Of course, this doesn't wash with sceptical scientists. Professor Richard Wiseman, a psychologist at the University of Hertfordshire, refuses to believe in remote viewing. He says: "I agree that by the standards of any other area ...

Feeling the future meta-analysis

Before Cornell University psychologist Daryl Bem published an article on precognition in the prominent  Journal of Social and Personality Psychology, it had already (and ironically given the topic) evoked a response from the status quo. The New York Times  was kind enough to  prepare us to be outraged .  It was called " craziness, pure craziness" by life-long critic Ray Hyman. Within days the news media was announcing that it was all just a big mistake .  I wrote about the ensuing brouhaha  in this blog .  But the bottom line in science, and the key factor that trumps hysterical criticism, is whether the claimed effect can be repeated by independent investigators. If it can't then perhaps the original claim was mistaken or idiosyncratic. If it can, then the critics need to rethink their position. Now we have an answer to the question about replication. An article has been submitted to the Journal of Social and Personality Psycho...

Show me the evidence

Image
Critics are fond of saying that there is no scientific evidence for psi. They wave their fist in the air and shout, "Show me the evidence!" Then they turn red and have a coughing fit. In less dramatic cases a student  might be genuinely curious and open-minded, but unsure where to begin to find reliable evidence about psi. Google knows all and sees all, but it doesn't know how to interpret or evaluate what it knows (at least not yet). In the past, my response to the "show me" challenge has been to give the titles of a few books to read, point to the bibliographies in those books, and advise the person to do their homework. I still think that this is the best approach for a beginner tackling a complex topic. But given the growing expectation that information on  virtually any topic ought to be available online within 60 seconds, traditional methods of scholarship are disappearing fast. So I've created a SHOW ME  page with downloadable articles on psi a...
