The Higher Consciousness That Science Refuses to Accept
by Thomas Walker ✦ Review by David Lorimer, April 2011
The material covered in this book will be familiar to many readers who have studied energy and consciousness. The author reports on scientific studies of acupuncture, the work of William Tiller, OBEs and NDEs, psi, parapsychological experiments conducted by the CIA, Kirlian photography, subtle bodies, evidence for reincarnation, the work of Jahn and Dunne at Princeton, Wilhelm Reich, healing and prayer. He also discusses the reactions of sceptics to such findings and the debacle over Gauquelin's astrology findings within CSICOP. He arrives at a view of the interchangeability of energy and information expressed through mind and consciousness. At the end of the book, he draws his conclusions together from the implications of his findings, insisting that the universe is alive and that materialism is an inadequate explanation of life and consciousness, speculating that the physical plane is a place for fundamental spiritual development. He foresees a time when the phenomena he describes will be more widely accepted within an extended science.
