The Conscious Universe: The Scientific Truth of Psychic Phenomena by Dean I. Radin
Holding up such anomalies as ESP, psychokinesis, prayer, near-death experiences, and reincarnation under the cool light of scientific scrutiny can be a daunting task. Dean Radin, director of the Consciousness Research Laboratory at the University of Nevada, rises to the challenge in the pioneering and exhaustively researched The Conscious Universe. Fans of The X-Files will need no further convincing, but for
the remaining skeptics, this easy-to-read mix of history, scientific
evidence, and proclamations ("When modern science began about
three hundred years ago, one of the consequences of separating mind
and matter was that science slowly lost its mind.") will authenticate the existence of psychic phenomena. (From Amazon.com)

Body Mind Spirit: Exploring the Parapsychology of Spirituality by Charles T. Tart
With Body Mind Spirit the leading figures in parapsychology finally
break the self-imposed silence that has sequestered the field behind a
wall of methodology and laboratory data. Researchers, including
William Roll, Michael Grosso, and Rhea White, reveal how their work
and that of their peers is a prelude to a transformation in the relationship
between science and spirituality. While Body Mind Spirit doesn't
spend time arguing for the validity of paranormal phenomena, it is no
less important than any experimental test data in its efforts to crack
Western dogma that has relegated science to the material world and
designated the church as sole proprietor of the spiritual realm. The
paradigm presented by these authors opens the door to scientific
exploration of a milieu that transcends the boundaries set by mainstream
science. (From Occult and Metaphysics Editors)

well as his highly plausible conclusions. For example, Targ reveals for
the first time the startling results of declassified CIA experiments in
psychic spying during the Cold War. Believers in spiritual healing will
