Thoughts on Life, Death and the Nature of Reality

Beschreibung

The author, a retired lawyer and former president of the Oxford University Society for Psychical Research has spent many years researching psychic phenomena and observing how it interacts with our daily lives. In Talking about Psychical Research: Thoughts on Life, Death and the Nature of Reality, Mary Rose Barrington asks, "What is the point of psychical research?" She goes on to share her thoughts on subjects including telepathy, clairvoyance, ‘ jotts', scepticism, psychic force and her small theory of everything, and in doing so provides us with an enlightening, erudite and entertaining read.
