BOOK REVIEW - By DEAN RADIN PhD, IONS
Dean Radin, PhD, Senior Scientist, Institute of Noetic Sciences:
https://noetic.org/profile/dean-radin/Spiritual. Implications of parapsychology.
"Can science and spirituality live together without fighting? Is it possible to be a rigorous, rational scientist and at the same time apply the methods of science to explore spiritual ideas without automatically collapsing everything into mechanistic, materialistic, or reductionistic terms?
Why is the data of parapsychology viciously and irrationally attacked by those who imagine themselves to be the defenders of rationality? These are some of the interesting questions addressed in this book."

Reflection:
Around 2014, while researching Paranormal and consciousness-related literature online, I first came across ‘The End of Materialism.’ Inspirationally, and intuitively, I then purchased this 397-page book. One standout for me at the time was discovering that Science and Spirituality do not have to be entirely separate disciplines. In context, the literature contributed significantly towards a realisation of who we really are!
