I read this when it appeared on the Essential Foundation site, and it's lost none of its power being reprinted here.

I'd love to hear from others who have experienced this in academia. Going through my doctoral program in clinical psychology, I came across this fundamaterialism repeatedly. Thank Goddess I didn't have to have any dealings with academia after I finished grad school.

But this fundamaterialist attitude pervades society in various pernicious ways. I'd love to hear from others who see this, and hear also if you have any ideas on how to deal with this.

I'm starting a project next year that involves collecting as much data as possible regarding paranormal facts related to near death experiences, stories of rebirth, research involving telepathy, remote viewing, etc.

Do you know (and I've asked Ed Kelly and other folks at the Division of Perceptual Research at the University of Virginia about this) there is not one single place on the internet where you can easily access this information!

I'm convinced (and I've been convinced for 50+ years) that if people had access to the VOLUMINOUS data - irrefutable research, well conduced, well replicated, as well as well validated single case studies - what are usually mislabeled "anecdotes" - it would bring about a revolution in all the sciences.

Re: "Colors don’t exist in nature, only electromagnetic waves that are translated by the brain into something that we perceive as color." This begs the question: Is everything beige like some scientists have claimed is the true color of the Universe? And IF there is indeed no actual color, then we must ask why are these electromagnetic waves emitted by things? Could it be that colors are made up of those waves?

Re: entanglement. I find this totally believable. There is a saying that "the flap of a butterfly wing can affect things thousands of miles away." It's true because we are all connected.

Materialism is a very limited, constricted viewpoint. I never did like those intellectuals who were so skeptical of mysticism. How many "coincidences" would it take to shake those folks up?

I've have so much psi phenomena and synchronicity in my life that I have a sense of knowing that there is so much more to reality than those folks ever dreamt of.
