Spontaneous Evolution: New Scientific Realities Are Bringing Spirit Back into Matter
by Bruce Lipton, PhD
The upheavals that we presently see in our civilization represent a giant force of evolution that’s in motion.

Getting the Facts Straight: Dean Radin Responds to a Skeptic’s Conviction

The anecdotal evidence is easy to question and dismiss, and so the critics have demanded – quite reasonably – reliable experimental evidence for the existence of psi. Has such evidence been provided?
