PARANORMAL VISIONARIES. PAST AND PRESENT

Revolution is sometimes defined as "a return to origins."  To remember who we are this can be in a Perennial or Primordial context or within the parameters of our own experience and times.  In the mid to late 1960s I discovered the works of people like J.B. Rhine, Edgar Cayce, and a little book by Katherine Cover Sabin which influenced some of the experiments on this site.  There were only a few books like this at my local bookstore and I think I bought most on the shelf.  There was also "Fate" magazine which was both sensationalized and informative.  Sometimes great notions and projects were established by the contents of that little magazine. 

The years since then led me to more 'sophisticated' work and onward to the more esoteric and magical realms of study and practice.  With this blog, I return to the foundations of my joyful discoveries.  There is no way to adequately describe the journeys of Spirit that my people have made since the 1960s.  Sometimes dissent and controversy arises among us and we forget why we are doing this.  I'm attempting to return to that joyful beginning and the earnest hope for a better life.  So I'm returning the verifiable science and the metaphysics of those early years.  This post will feature a quick look at an early explorer and the associations founded upon his work.  I'll also link a very recent advancement that keeps the original curious, hopeful spirit yet advances the work in realms of literature, philosophy, and science.

Dr. J.B. Rhine brought parapsychology into the research arena at Duke University.  Most of us who read the more popular books on the paranormal would see reference to J.B. Rhine when the author wanted to impress legitimacy.   Some of us actually read "Extrasensory Perception" written in 1934.  In 1957 Dr Rhine founded the Parapsychological Association to further work in the field.  This continues today and I'll give an example later on continuing brave work in the potential for advancement of our culture going forward based upon a profound knowledge of where we have been and visions for our potential.

The Journal of Parapsychology is a resource from the Rhine Research Center that works in partnership with the original Parapsychological Association.

Onward to contemporary work in related fields.  My interest in this book arrived through an appreciation for the critically important education and cultural retrieval found in the publications of Arktos Media. This book won an award from the Parapsychogical Association. Please read some reviews of "Prometheus and Atlas" from advanced thinkers and professionals.

The historical content, literature, and philosophy of this work is something I could only describe adequately with more experience.  In these pages we meet Martin Heidegger, European thought, and more current research in the area of Remote Viewing.  Profound history and our direction today is combined with a masterful overview.  This link is to  his profile on the Parapsychological Association website.

The publisher, Arktos Media, is a multidisciplinary phenomenon that brings advancement through Tradition.  The paranormal is by no means their primary study.  Except that an advanced perception of who we are has a valuable perspective.
