Entangled Minds in Arabic


Book jacket for the Arabic translation of Entangled Minds, Arabic in the front (left) and the English title in the back (right). Thanks to Dr. Samah Khaled Zahran for performing the translation, for the cover design, and for initiating this translation. Dr. Zahran tells me that the title in Arabic is "Continuity of feelings and ideas."

My books have now been translated into French, Korean, Japanese, Portuguese, Turkish, and Arabic. I've been told that there have been queries to purchase translation rights for Chinese, Finnish, Russian, Czech, and Greek, but I haven't seen printed books in those languages yet.

Update: Thanks to a commentor for bring my attention to the unpublished Russian translation, available here:

Excellent. The more this gets out there the better.

Have you any plans for another book and if so, what will you tackle?

Congratulations are in order. Moreover, the results of your researches in multiple translations can only increase human awareness in the human experience of consciousness as the fundamental and irreducible basis of existence."Subvert the dominant paradigm" indeed.

I am working on a new book now. It's about yoga and the siddhis, those exceptional "powers" that are claimed to be achievable through diciplined meditation practice.

That sounds really interesting. I know you meditate so that gives you an insiders perspective too (I have no idea if you have any siddhis up your sleeve though!).

I have been pondering about writing a book myself one day around this topic, although more as it relates to qigong than yoga (but I think they touch on much the same, they just emerged in different cultures). It is interesting to note that the really strong siddhis/super powers that end up under self control (not the minor first ones) usually are accompanied by a deep intimate understanding of one self, the universe and how it all is related.
So I think these contemplative traditions have something to add to physics (and science in general) because they, amongst other things, can help to solve many of the fundamental issues regarding what the universe really "is" deep down.

I imagine a future where budding engineers/scientists go to university and learn not only to calculate, but to truly understand temselves. You take Calculus/Physics/Chemistry 101, but also Meditation/Yoga/Qigong 101. And these two enrich each other. I firmely believe that the mind of such a student would be much more flexible, vigorous and wise compared to what is the norm today.

I hope as you're working on your book (it sounds wonderful by the way) you'll take note of Alan Wallace's excellent book, "Meditations of a Buddhist Skeptic" and the rather bizarre response by Tom Pepper (you can just google their names and Tom's article will come up). I suggest this because while I think that Alan has a few wonderful critiques of materialism, it could have been much stronger and more focused. I think by looking at Wallace and then seeing the kind of irrationality in Pepper's response, your book will be more powerful in its presentation of the siddhis and in its understanding of how such things do NOT threaten the 'overthrow" of all good science or some such nonsense as that. Good luck with the book - it's vitally important that such ideas get widespread attention.

Mr Radin, would you talk here in this forum about your views on what exactly IS the mind?

In my book on the siddhis I do cite Wallace and others, but I'm not attempting to cover the subtleties of all possible Buddhist or yoga practices and beliefs, or the murky Buddhism-science connection. I'm focusing on specific claims of advanced yogic practice in the light of science, and especially on what is testable, what has been tested, and what is now for all practical purposes empirical fact.

Not at this time. It's too big a topic and I don't have enough spare time now to do it justice.

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...
