About Contact With The Future: The Nature Of Extrasensory
This book is about the nature of extrasensory perception, and is based on a 25-year investigation into the physical and biological principles underlying its occurrence. Jon Taylor has carried out a careful examination of the case histories and laboratory research. He concludes that precognition is the fundamental phenomenon of ESP, and that it occurs when people connect with their future experience of an event. The precognition is due to a transfer of information from the brain in the future to the brain in the present, just as telepathy is due to a transfer between different brains. Taylor rejects the clairvoyance interpretation—direct connection with the event—and suggests that acceptance of this interpretation by a majority of parapsychologists has led to an important misunderstanding about the nature of ESP. To explain the transfer of information through space and time, Taylor applies the special theory of relativity along with David Bohm’s interpretation of quantum mechanics. He then examines the memory system in the brain and shows how influences produced on the neuronal networks enable information to be retrieved from the future in precognition, in much the same way as from the past in ordinary memory. He avoids any speculations involving consciousness as the information carrier—such speculations having led to skepticism among scientists in the past. The theory clarifies many misconceptions about extrasensory phenomena. This applies especially to intuition, in which information from the future helps people to make decisions and serves as an important aid to survival. Intuition also accounts for homing instinct in animals, dowsing for minerals, successful use of the I Ching, and the remote viewing techniques used in STAR GATE—the U.S. government’s 22-year program in psychic espionage. In view of the controversial nature of ESP, a rigorous multidisciplinary approach is taken. The detailed proposals are supported by a glossary of terms and bibliography including over 470 references. Numerous illustrations and personal anecdotes help to make the book accessible to general readers and scientists alike. Finally, Taylor describes several ways in which readers can experience ESP for themselves—this, he suggests, is the best way for skeptics to become aware of the reality of ESP.
