Noetic Science Exploring the Power of Collective Consciousness

by Michael Kerrigan

Noetic scientists explore the relationship between consciousness and the material world, revisiting questions that were once deemed the province of theologians, philosophers and even occultists rather than being appropriate subjects for scientific investigation. But how far can the discipline shed light on these enigmas? Are the answers to conundrums of selfhood, parapsychology and the nature of consciousness finally available to us, or nearly so? Could it be that we simply need to open our minds? Moving beyond conventional science or philosophy, this book aims to evaluate the claims of noetic science by investigating our greatest unknown: the mind.

[Alicia Mellon · Rating 4 out of 5]

Fascinating read. I like the conclusive "I don't know". I think this is a great primer into Noetic Science studies.
