Psychic phenomena have long been relegated to the fringe of scientific examination, but several vigorously
supervised studies have proven that such phenomena as telepathy, precognition, and psychokinesis have a
scientific basis.
Dr. Diane Powell, a Johns Hopkins-trained neuropsychiatrist, proposes a fascinating new paradigm for
consciousness that demystifies psychic phenomena. She explores why psychic abilities are stronger among
prodigies, autistic savants, people with bipolar illness, and in individuals with certain brain injuries and other
neurological conditions.
Brain imaging and other recent research demonstrates which parts of the brain are more dominant, and how the mind of
a mystic or psychic could have an organizational effect on the physical world. Using reliable scientific research, the
ESP Enigma establishes a common ground for psychic phenomenon.
Diane Hennacy Powell, M.D. is a former member of Harvard Medical School’s faculty and of a part-time think tank on consciousness at the Salk Institute in La Jolla, California. She has published articles in neuroscience and neuropsychiatry journals. She lives in Medford, Oregon and Sebastopol, California.
“Beautifully written, richly insightful.” – Jean Houston, Ph.D., author of A Passion for the
Possible
“The ESP Enigma is an unflinching examination of the puzzle of consciousness – how it’s
able to do things that, according to our textbooks, don’t make sense. Refreshingly clear,
scientifically, accurate, up to date, and comprehensive, this book shatters, conventional
beliefs about the nature of the mind and reality itself.“ – Dean Radin, Ph.D., senior scientist,
Institute of Noetic Sciences, and author of The Conscious Universe and Entangled Minds.
“A tour de force that is more comprehensive and persuasive than anything I have read in
years.“ – Stanley Krippner, Ph.D., Co-author of Extraordinary Dreams and How to Work with
Them.
