Consciousness Research

Is everything connected? Can we sense what's happening to loved ones thousands of miles away? Why are we sometimes certain of a caller's identity the instant the phone rings? Do intuitive hunches contain information about future events? Is it possible to perceive without the use of the ordinary senses? Many people believe that such "psychic phenomena" are rare talents or divine gifts. Others don't believe they exist at all. But the latest scientific research shows that these phenomena are both real and widespread.

Why is there a scientific taboo against discussing ideas like the extended mind and ESP? In this fully-cited 8000 word article, futurist Marcus T Anthony identifies some of the illogical and inconsistent thinking in cutting edge thinking about the future, especially in relation to attempts to consider the value of intuitive insight, the extended mind, ESP and the idea of entanglement in physics. A focus of the paper is the possible validity of quantum entanglement and consciousness, and in particular links between quantum physics, psychic research and psychic abilities like remote viewing. ...

Psychology’s greatest blind spot: itself. When developmental psychology insists infants “fight for survival” or seek mirrored recognition, it commits Adultomorphism—projecting adult cognitive, affective, and relational architectures onto beings without the neurostructural or experiential basis for such capacities. This book names the foundational lens through which psychology, psychiatry, and childhood theory generate their most authoritative frameworks: survival as origin, relation as structure, and the adult mind as developmental prototype. These are not interpretations layered ...
