Although I read a couple of books on cold fusion some years ago, I remember few of the details today, and can safely say I know next to nothing on the subject. That said, I found this blog post by Roger Stritmatter about the E-Cat reactor very interesting. It's a good summary of the cold fusion controversy, the vindication of Fleischmann and Pons by a number of independent researchers, and the amazing potential of low energy nuclear reactions. Since I can't judge the scientific tests of E-Cat that have been performed so far, I can only say that either this thing will be a game-changer or it will be one of the great hoaxes of all time. Either way, it's worth knowing about.

101 Things I Wish I’d Known When I Started Using Hypnosis

101 Things I Wish I'd Known When I Started Using Hypnosis

For the past thirty years, Dabney Ewin has been teaching medical hypnosis at Tulane University. In all that time, he has dealt with hundreds of patients but the one thing that stands out during this illustrious career is that he has never stopped learning something new.

This succinct volume is a testament to all the ideas that Dr. Ewin wished he had known about when he first started practicing hypnosis. The words and phrases presented here are designed to give any beginning or experienced student a foundation about the working of hypnosis–this foundation of knowledge Dr. Ewin built up in his more than thirty years of practice. Dr. Ewin ‘believes his patients can get well, because they do.’ With his words, images and suggestions, noted throughout this little book of wisdom, he understands that the mind can change the way the brain functions and conversely, he also knows the brain can change the way the mind functions. In hypnosis, he makes this healing resonance between mind and body happen again and again. Simply put, his patients become whole again.

Parapsychology, Philosophy, & Spirituality: A Postmodern Exploration (Constructive Postmodern Thought)

Parapsychology, Philosophy, & Spirituality: A Postmodern Exploration (Constructive Postmodern Thought)

In this book, David Ray Griffin, best known for his work on the problem of evil, turns his attention to the even more controversial topic of parapsychology. Griffin examines why scientists, philosophers, and theologians have held parapsychology in disdain and argues that neither a priori philosophical attacks nor wholesale rejection of the evidence can withstand scrutiny. After articulating a constructive postmodern philosophy that allows the parapsychological evidence to be taken seriously. Griffin examines this evidence extensively. He identifies four types of repeatable phenomena that suggest the reality of extrasensory perception and psychokinesis. Then, on the basis of a nondualistic distinction between mind and brain, which makes the idea of life after death conceivable, he examines five types of evidence for the reality of life after death: messages from mediums; apparitions; cases of the possession type; cases of the reincarnation type; and out-of-body experiences. His philosophical and empirical examinations of these phenomena suggest that they provide support for a postmodern spirituality that overcomes the thinness of modern religion without returning to supernaturalism.

The ESP Enigma: The Scientific Case for Psychic Phenomena

The ESP Enigma: The Scientific Case for Psychic Phenomena

A revolutionary explanation of the link between psychic phenomena and how human consciousness works.

Dr. Diane Powell, a prominent Johns Hopkins–trained neuropsychiatrist, examines the evidence for many types of psychic phenomena, from telepathy and precognition to psychokinesis, and finds several well-designed and rigorously supervised studies that prove the existence of some psychic phenomena. The fact that psychic abilities are stronger among prodigies, autistic savants, and some people who are bipolar or have suffered certain brain injuries has led to brain-imaging and other research that can explain which parts of the brain are dominant in psychics and mystics. Dr. Powell proposes a new paradigm for consciousness that would explain psychic phenomena, such as how the mind of a mystic or psychic could have an organizational effect on the physical world. Grounded in decades of reliable scientific research, The ESP Enigma establishes a common ground among psychic phenomena believers and skeptics.
