Show Notes

History shows us that science is always incomplete and very seldom synonymous with wisdom. Some say that science is always playing catch-up with our spiritual understanding. Yet, it is forever pregnant with new discoveries, insights and theories, each with the potential to completely transform our picture of the world we thought we knew and understood. Seen in this context, modern brain-mind research has progressed only as far as naive adolescence, still embarrassingly unsure of what makes people tick. Parapsychology, by comparison, is still a clumsy, babbling toddler, only vaguely aware of the amazing possibilities within its power. In keeping with this metaphor, what I have called “para-ecology” and “ecokinesis” are disciplines that have scarcely been born. But they promise new knowledge that could, in time, completely revolutionise everything we have come to know and accept about both psychology and ecology.
