Telepathy our Lost Sense tells the wonderful story of how we communicate with another person by sending or receiving a “thought message”. Many people have telepathic abilities but there has been great fear, misunderstanding, and persecution of such people over the centuries leading to the loss of this sense from our human repertoire. Modern neuroscience has revealed that our electrical and magnetic brainwaves carry information within our brain generating thoughts and actions. ELF waves, very low frequency electromagnetic radiation, enveloping our planet, are identical to our brainwaves and carry our thoughts from one mind to another. We recognise the person sending the thought through their unique “brain fingerprint." Dr Dianne Cartwright, a Brisbane native, holds a BSc Hons and MBBS Hons from the University of Queensland and is a Fellow of the Royal Australian College of General Practitioners (FRACGP). After studying biology and conducting post-graduate research, she later graduated in medicine and practiced as a GP in Cairns for many years. Throughout her life, Dr. Cartwright had occasional but unforgettable experiences of Extrasensory Perception (ESP) including telepathy. A survey of her patients revealed that almost half had an ESP experience. Now retired, she researches ESP and has found a plausible explanation for these abilities to share withe the readers of this book.
Marie Curie said “Nothing in life is to be feared, it is only to be understood. Now is the time to understand more, so that we may fear less.”
Dr Dianne Cartwright developed an interest in telepathy and ESP in her teenage years when she first had extraordinary experiences of ESP, which have continued from time to time throughout her life. She studied biology at the University of Queensland, Australia and graduated with an Honours degree in Science and continued postgraduate research in this field. She later obtained a medical degree and became a primary care physician in the tourist town of Cairns for many years. Since retirement Dr Cartwright has devoted many hours to researching the neuroscientific literature to find a plausible explanation for human telepathic communication which she shares in this book
Not a fan. The author seems desperate to get you to believe in ESP in all its flavors, bringing interesting but tangential science to bear, and explaining how math supports the validity of her story when it does not. She focuses on individual instances of admittedly interesting occurrences, but fails to grab the few stories she tells of regular occurrences that would be prime fodder for research. I found myself on the side of Harry Houdini and James Randi in finding common explanations for events described as super natural. The abundant references provided feel more like what we call “convincers” than actual supporting data.
I won this book in a giveaway and am really looking forward to reading it! I will post another review with my thoughts after I have read it. Thanks so much!
