Psychic Photography and Thoughtography
by Jule EisenbudSince 1861, more than two dozen persons in several countries have claimed to obtain on photographic plates and film a variety of types of images that could only have been produced paranormally. This essay, chapter 13 of Psychic Exploration, delves into psychic photography and thoughtography.

Psychic Research and the Healing Process
by Henry K. PuharichThe healing process is usually described within the framework of physics, chemistry, and cellular physiology. Just as the role of the observer is generally ignored in the formulations of science, so the role of the healer and the healed is ignored in modern medicine. This essay, chapter 14 of Psychic Exploration, examines the role of the healer-healed in 10 basic processes in healing: diagnosis, manual healing, self-healing, chemical agents, anesthesia, surgery, bacteriostasis, action-at-a-distance, the guide, and regeneration.

Out-of-the-Body Experiences
by Charles T. TartThis essay, chapter 15 of Psychic Exploration, studies out-of-the-body experiences (OOBE's), formerly called "astral projection" and "traveling clairvoyance," are a universal human phenomenon in the sense of having been experienced in every time and culture, although only a very small fraction of people ever experience it.

Apparitions, Hauntings, and Poltergeists
by D. Scott RogoApparitions represent a rich collection of phenomena. They have been seen personifying the forms of the living and of the dead, at the exact time of the agent's death and often a considerable time after. This essay, chapter 16 of Psyhic Exploration, explores apparitions, haunting, and poltergeists. The full volume of Psychic Exploration can be purchased as an ebook or paperback version from all major online retailers and at cosimobooks.com.
Survival Research: Problems and Possibilites
by William G. RollWhen we ask whether consciousness continues after death, we usually assume that a surviving self will exist in some kind of body and will include the personality familiar from waking experience. Since the consciousness that may continue after death presumably exists before, we may explore it in the living. This essay, chapter 17 of Psychic Exploration, studies the problems and possibilities of survival research.

The Emergence of Paraphysics: Research and Applications
by James B. BealParaphysics is a blending of physics, electronics, biology, biofeedback, and the new science of subjective awareness with the methodology already established in some areas of psychic research and systems engineering. This essay, chapter 18 of Psychic Exploration, outlines some of the areas in which outer-space research, in a synergistic blending of many disciplines, has produced benefits to inner-space research. The full volume of Psychic Exploration can be purchased as an ebook or paperback version from all major online retailers and at cosimobooks.com.
The Emergence of Paraphysics: Theoretical Foundations
by Brendan O' ReganSuccess in the formal scientific investigation of phenomena has always required that man learn to speak formally about the phenomena under investigation. Psychic phenomena are considered in terms of the unresolved problem of the relation between mind and matter, with paraphysics being defined as the physics of paranormal processes. This essay, chapter 19 of Psychic Exploration, explores why modern science has been unable to deal with highly complex systems and has therefore been able to address only certain kinds of problems.

Psychic Research in the Soviet Union
by Thelma MossThis essay, chapter 20 of Psychic Exploration, is an anecdotal account of a personal voyage to the Soviet Union (Moscow, Leningrad, Alma-Ata) to investigate Russian research in telepathy, skin vision, psychokinesis, acupuncture, Kirlian photography, and psychic healing.

Devices for Monitoring Nonphysical Energies
by William A. TillerSignificant advances in the psychoenergetics field will be delayed until devices and techniques are developed for monitoring nonphysical energies. One general category of useful devices is that of a conventional electromagnetic nature that responds to such energies via interaction with an intermediary living transducer--human, animal, or plant. This paper, chapter 21 of Psychic Exploration, is largely devoted to a discussion of two such devices: a high-voltage (Kirlian) photography device and an acupuncture-point monitoring device.

Psychic Research and Modern Physics
by Russell Targ Harold PuthoffThis essay, chapter 22 of Psychic Exploration, describes the application of concepts of modern physics to the study of psychic functioning. Included are a discussion of an example of a theoretical model of precognition that is testable and is compatible with contemporary physics, and descriptions of recent experiments using instruments that have exceptional sensitivity.

Consciousess and Quantum Theory
by Evan Harris WalkerThis essay, chapter 23 of Psychic Exploration, presents a theory of consciousness. Also presented is a paradigm that provides a bridge between science and religion.

Psychic Phenomena and Mystical Experience
by Lawrence L. LeshanMysticism and the paranormal have long been associated in two ways: in the repeated reports of mystically trained individuals acquiring paranormal abilities and in the warnings given in all serious mystical training schools that students who become interested in these abilities will cease to make progress. This essay, chapter 24 of Psychic Exploration, discusses those associations. The full volume of Psychic Exploration can be purchased as an ebook or paperback version from all major online retailers and at cosimobooks.com.
Myth, Consciousness, and Psychic Research
by Jean HoustonThis essay, chapter 25 of Psychic Exploration, explores the crisis of consciousness and its historical analogies and suggests that the mythic persona emerging from the crisis points toward a new image of man and a new possibility for humanity. The full volume of Psychic Exploration can be purchased as an ebook or paperback version from all major online retailers and at cosimobooks.com.
Consciousness and Extraordinary Phenomena
by Robert MastersTwo cases are described in which extraordinary phenomena appear to have been elicited within the context of altered states of consciousness (trance) in a laboratory setting. This essay, chapter 26 of Psychic Exploration, studies these two cases. The full volume of Psychic Exploration can be purchased as an ebook or paperback version from all major online retailers and at cosimobooks.com.
Psi-Conducive States of Awareness
by Charles HonortonUntil recently, little systematic research has been directed toward examining the role of subjective state of awareness factors in psychic functioning. In this essay, chapter 27 of Psychic Exploration, recent experimental studies are described involving the elicitation of ESP through dreams, hypnosis, and meditation-type procedures. The full volume of Psychic Exploration can be purchased as an ebook or paperback version from all major online retailers and at cosimobooks.com.
The Social Implications of Psychic Research
by Willis W. HarmanPsychic research, both as a formal discipline within the activity of science and as an informal fascination and exploration in the larger culture, is profoundly affecting habitual modes of thinking and perceiving, and thence social institutions and the culture itself. The characteristics of this paradigm shift are examined in terms of the Perennial Philosophy and the New Freemasonry, and the significance of this view of man in the universe if it were to become dominant is suggested in this final chapter of Psychic Exploration.
