Quote:Howard Eisenberg, MD, is author of Inner Spaces: Parapsychological Explorations of the Mind and, most recently, Dream It To Do It: The Science and the Magic.
Here he describes his early work in parapsychology at McGill University in Montreal, Canada. He points out that the findings of parapsychology suggest that our conventional view of reality is seriously out-of-touch. He discusses the Hindu notion of Maya, or the illusion of the world. He suggests that consciousness (not ego) is fundamental and that love is the basis of reality. He suggests that we can solve many of our serious problems by taking small steps every day.
'Historically, we may regard materialism as a system of dogma set up to combat orthodox dogma...Accordingly we find that, as ancient orthodoxies disintegrate, materialism more and more gives way to scepticism.'
