Real Magic

Ancient Wisdom, Modern Science, and a Guide to the Secret Power of the Universe

De: Dean Radin

Narrado por: Mark Bramhall

The chief scientist at the Institute of Noetic Sciences (IONS) turns a critical eye toward such practices as telepathy, clairvoyance, precognition, and psychokinesis. Are such powers really possible? Science says yes.

According to noted scientist and best-selling author of The Conscious Universe, Dean Radin, magic is a natural aspect of reality, and each of us can tap into this power with diligent practice.

But wait, aren't things like ESP and telepathy just wishful thinking and flights of the imagination? Not according to the author, who worked on the US government's top secret psychic espionage program known as Stargate. Radin has spent the last 40 years conducting controlled experiments that demonstrate that thoughts are things, that we can sense others' emotions and intentions from a distance, that intuition is more powerful than we thought, and that we can tap into the power of intention (think The Secret, only on a more realistic and scientific level). These dormant powers can help us to lead more interesting and fulfilling lives.

Beginning with a brief history of magic over the centuries (what was called magic 2,000 years ago is turning out to be scientific fact today), a review of the scientific evidence for magic, a series of simple but effective magical techniques (the key is mental focus, something elite athletes know a lot about), Radin then offers a vision of a scientifically informed magic and explains why magic will play a key role in frontiers of science.

perfectly nuanced in every way.

Sprinkled with real science, occult history, personality, humor. Perfect for those of us who are consciously at the edge of reality and about to evolve into who we really are.

Good presentation of magic as physical phenomenon

Well argued and well read. If you wish to understand magic without the woo-woo this is a good starting point.

Interesting read

Not enough of the book was dedicated to actual proof of the events unexplained by science that he terms magic. Too much set up of the persecution of magic throughout history and the current denial by scientists today. I understand how that is a crucial theme to the authors story he wants to tell but it made for some pretty long lulls before and during some pretty compelling research.

Spellbound

Noticed I did not say soulbound. Not that I am merely spellbound; in fact, I am captivatingly and resoundingly anchored to the bottom of this magical undertow. In other words, this work is amazing in that it brings the highly credible academic world into the realm of higher consciousness and what some of us know simply as the gift. It may also be called the great work or the vital force. Regardless, this is a tome of insight that few have been able to parse together in such realistic and in a understanding way. Yes, I am one of the few who has experienced an Awakening through Oneness, so this book resonates in the depths of my soul and to the further reaches of my mind's own singularity. I'll end with a single word: #perfection

Very informative and capturing.

Uses more factual data to describe its content and to explain its knowledge. Also it has a very capturing audio speaker.

Once again Dean knocks it out of the park

Dean writes another Hit for those of us Who love the study of quantum physics

Amazingly thought provoking

There are a few places where the author proposes hypotheses based on loose assumptions but on the whole this is a wonderful and very rational book!

thought provoking research on what magic is versus what humanity thinks it is. it is amazing how hard it is to shift paradigms in humanity

Excellent.

If you are interested in direction towards the real deal pay attention, put one foot forward and then the next and go where you need to.

A great bridge between fact and fiction

A great compalation of resources and studies showing the measurable and hidden science of the paranormal and esoteric.
