Medvetandeforskning (Non-Local Consciousness)
Of the many books dealing with consciousness and its various interaction with the physical world The Conscious Universe (HarperSanFrancisco 1997) by Dean Radin Ph.D. is the most comprehensive and encompassing work.
Miracles of the Mind (New World Library 1998) by Russel Targ and Jane Katra, Ph.D. is another excellent book, dealing in great detail with non-local consciousness and healing.
Mind Trek (Hampton Roads Publishing Company 1997) by Joseph McMoneagle deals with his personal experience of remote viewing and related subjects.
Margins of Reality (Harcourt Brace 1987) by Robert G. Jahn (Prof. Aerospace Science) and Brenda J. Dunne (manager of PEAR laboratory) deals in great deatail with the Princeton Engineering Anomalies Research programme into the interaction between the human mind and physical devices.
Body Mind Spirit (Hampton Roads Publishing Company 1997) edited by Charles T. Tart Ph.D. contains several interesting essays by prominent researchers within the field of metaphysics.
Psychic Connections (Delacorte Press 1995) by Lois Duncan and William Roll, Ph.D. deals with a wide variety of phenomena and their practical applications in a descriptive way.Cleve Backster's research into primary perception is dealt with in The Secret Life of Plants by Peter Tomkins & Christopher O'Bird (HarperCollins 1989) and The secret Life of Cells by Robert B. Stone, Ph.D. (Schiffer Publishing 1989). Unfortunately very little seems to have been written about this fascinating subject, despite extensive research.
Nära Döden Forskning
There are a number of books dealing with the Near Death Experience, though the following recent books are most relevant: Light and Death (ZondervanPublishingHouse1998) by Michael Sabom M.D. and Mindsight (The William James Center for Consciousness Studies 1999) by Kenneth Ring M.D. and Sharon Cooper.
Reinkarnation
The evidence provided in the chapter on reincarnation originates almost entirely from the fascinating book Where Reincarnation and Biology Intersect (Praeger Publishers 1997) by Ian Stevenson M.D.
Ut Ur Kroppen Upplevelser
For those interested in the more spiritual and philosophical aspects of this book, rather than or in addition to, the purely scientific, I recommend the following books:
Far Journey (Main Street Books 1987) and Ultimate Journey (Main Street Books 1996) by Robert A. Monroe, which deal with experiments and experiences of consciousness separated from the body. Eloquently written and thought-provoking. Cosmic Journeys (Hampton Roads Publishing Company 1999) by Rosalind A. McKnight has a similar theme, as it deals with the authors experiences over many years at the Monroe Institute.
Regressionshypnos
Journey of Souls (Llewellyn Worldwide 1994) by Michael Newton, Ph.D. deals with the authors studies of life as a spirit between lives using hypnotism and regression techniques. These cases are particularly compelling as so many subjects report similar experiences as "spirits". The theme is developed further in Destiny of Souls (Llewellyn Worldwide 2000) by the same author.
Biologi
Though perhaps only indirectly related, professor of microbiology Michael J. Behe's book Darwin's Black Box on the topic of microbiology and the controversy that has risen between this discipline and neo-darwinism is well worth reading, as it suggests a radically different perspective on the evolution of the human form (as indeed it does all forms).
Another interesting publication dealing directly with the evolution of form is A New Science of Life by Rupert Sheldrake, Ph.D. It created quite a stir in the scientific community, but so far no one appears to actually have proven Sheldrake wrong.
Fysik
Several interesting books deal with the fascinating world of sub-atomic physics, the following but a few of those both accessible and worth reading:
The Dreaming Universe (Touchstone Books 1994) by Fred Alan Wolf Ph.D. is nothing less than a completely new hypothesis as to why we dream. Perhaps a bit too complicated to fully grasp at first, it deals with a great many aspects of dreaming, non-local consciousness and quantum axioms, and is well worth reading.
The Quantum Self (Flamingo 1991) by Dana Zohar, Ph.D. concerns the sense of self from a quantum perspective. Highly readable and thought provoking, as well as a good introduction to quantum physics.
Quantum Mystics (Shambala 1985) edited by Ken Wilber is a collection of essays from all the great quantum physicists of the last century, dealing with the mystical implications of their discipline, such as the existence of spirit.
The End of Time (Weidenfeld & Nicolson 1999) by physicist Julian Barbour does not deal with quantum physics as such but rather with the phenomenon of time, and argues that by removing time from the equation the grand unification theory would become possible.
The argument that there is no time, that this is an ordering facility created by the brain to make sense of the world, is interesting as research into non-local consciousness implies that there is indeed no time in the linear sense we are so used to.
