The Red Book
Just Published!!!
The most influential unpublished work in the history of psychology.
When Carl Jung embarked on an extended self-exploration he called his
“confrontation with the unconscious,” the heart of it was The Red Book,
a large, illuminated volume he created between 1914 and 1930. Here he
developed his principle theories—of the archetypes, the collective
unconscious, and the process of individuation—that transformed
psychotherapy from a practice concerned with treatment of the sick into
a means for higher development of the personality.
While Jung considered The Red Book to be his most important work, only a handful of people have ever seen
it. Now, in a complete facsimile and translation, it is available to
scholars and the general public. It is an astonishing example of
calligraphy and art on a par with The Book of Kells and the illuminated manuscripts of William Blake. This publication of The Red Book is a watershed that will cast new light on the making of modern psychology.

Irreducible Mind: Toward a Psychology for the 21st Century
Practically
every contemporary mainstream scientist presumes that all aspects of
mind are generated by brain activity. We demonstrate the inadequacy of
this picture by assembling evidence for a variety of empirical
phenomena which it cannot explain. We further show that an alternative
picture developed by F. W. H. Myers and William James successfully
accommodates these phenomena, ratifies the common sense view of
ourselves as causally effective conscious agents, and is fully
compatible with contemporary physics and neuroscience.

Reincarnation and Biology: A Contribution to the Etiology of Birthmarks and Birth Defects
Based on some 30 years of research on people who claim to remember past
lives, this work encompasses the full spectrum of theory and case
studies on the subject to date. It is by far the most definitive work
on the subject by the Galileo of the twentieth century professor Ian
Stevenson. In its more than two thousand pages one cannot but find how
ignorant we are of many aspects of life.

Is There an Afterlife?
This
book presents the most complete survey to date of the evidence, both
historical and contemporary, for survival of physical death. It looks
at the question of what survives, in particular exploring the question
of consciousness as primary to and not dependent on matter in the light
of recent brain research and quantum physics. Written by distinguished professor
David Fontana.Experiencing the Next World Now
Everyone
has seen the popular television programmes featuring mediums who speak
with those in the 'beyond'. According to author Michael Grosso the
spirits they are communicating with aren't only real, they are capable
of being reached without the help of James Van Praagh or Johnathan
Edwards. In EXPERIENCING THE NEXT WORLD NOW, Grosso proposes that the
reason channelers are able to contact the dead is the 'Next World' is
inexorably intertwined with the physical world. In addition to
discussing compelling evidence for the afterlife, Grosso shows how
common features of existence, such as out of body experiences, mystic
experiences, past life memories and so on are nothing but cracks of
this world to the Otherworld...Extraordinary Knowing: Science, Skepticism, and the Inexplicable Powers of the Human Mind
Prompted by a personal
experience she interpreted as evidence for extrasensory perception, the
late author embarked on an exploration into research on the subject.
Mayer, who was a psychoanalyst by profession, in this work recounts her
journey, which involved collecting ESP anecdotes, interesting her
professional peers in the subject, and sifting through formal research
into psychic phenomena. The latter process extends back over a century,
to investigations supported by philosopher William James, as chronicled
in Deborah Blum's Ghost Hunters (2006).Mayer summarizes the work of James' Society for Psychical Research, delves into one researcher's projects in the 1930s, describes the CIA's interest in "remote viewing" in the 1960s, and paraphrases research papers of more recent vintage. She never crossed the scientific Rubicon to announce QED on ESP but was bravely enamored of the possibility of its existence. How else to explain the recovery of her daughter's stolen harp, whose location Mayer said was pinpointed by a psychic dowser? Mayer's catalog of personal experience and seemingly rigorous research into "anomalous cognitive events" should inveigle those similarly intrigued. Gilbert Taylor

The Spirit of Science: From Experiment to Experience
The
technical successes of modern science have obscured a deeper
understanding of its place in human knowledge and in our value systems.
For many, science belongs in a separate "compartment" from normal human
experience, confined to the word of the laboratory. This can give rise
to a dark, impersonal and inhuman image of science.In this collection,
scientists and thinkers from a range of disciplines examine the
relationship of scientific knowledge and practice to the wider
dimension of human life and awareness. For some this appears as a
dialogue between science and spirituality, for others an investigation
into consciousness and the intelligent heart of the cosmos. Whether in
physics, cosmology of biology, these essays explore the very nature of
knowledge itself and the continuing role of human creativity,
emphasizing the need for crossing disciplinary boundaries in our search
for understanding.The contributions are based on papers given over 20
years at the annual "Mystics and Scientists" conferences in England.

Life Before Life: A Scientific Investigation of Children's Memories of Previous Lives
For
the past forty years, doctors at the University of Virginia Medical
Center have conducted research into young children's reports of
past-life memories. Dr. Ian Stevenson, the founder of this work, has
always written for a scientific audience. Now, in this provocative and
fascinating book, Dr. Jim B. Tucker, a child psychiatrist who currently
directs the research, shares these studies with the general public.
"Life Before Life" is a landmark work--one that has the potential to
challenge and ultimately change our understandings about life and death.ISBN: 0312321376
Thinking Beyond the Brain: A Wider Science of Consciousness
Consciousness is the hot topic in scientific circles? Its precise nature
holding huge implications for the future of science as a viable
discipline. And with so many recent advances in brain studies,
questions of mind and consciousness have become critically important
for both theorists and hard scientists. These latest contributions to
the debate, selected from the annual "Beyond the Brain" conferences,
show that it is time for radical rethinking of our theories and methods
in investigating phenomena of the human mind. A collection of
presentations by David Lorimer.

The Handbook of Near-Death Experiences: Thirty Years of Investigation
A
woman entered a hospital clinically dead. After revival, she claimed to
have 'seen' a shoe on a ledge outside a sixth floor window of another
hospital building. A social worker checked. The shoe was there, not
visible from the street, on the opposite side of the campus from where
the woman had been brought in by ambulance. Experts from around the
world share the history and current state of near-death experience
(NDE) knowledge. They explore controversies in the field, offer stories
from their research, and express their hopes for the future of
investigation into this fascinating phenomenon. As modern medical
techniques for resuscitation advance, NDEs are more frequently
reported. These include more than the popular notions of moving through
a tunnel or seeing a light. They also include people, once revived,
knowing things their knowledge of which can't currently be explained.
As "The Handbook of Near-Death Experiences: Thirty Years of
Investigation" makes clear, great controversy exists in the medical and
psychological fields concerning NDEs. Are they caused by physiological
changes in the brain, or are they biological reactions to oxygen loss
or impending death?Are they a product of changing states of
consciousness? Or are they caused by something else altogether? All of
these ideas and more are discussed in this unique and comprehensive
volume. This title features 14 tables.
By, Bruce Greyson, Janice Miner Holden and Debbie James.
