About this listen
This is the most entertaining and broad survey of the paranormal ever made, combining forgotten lore, evidence from parapsychological experiments and the testament of scientists, archaeologists, anthropologists, psychologists, physicists, philosophers, and also quite a few celebrities. Exploring the possibility that paranormal phenomena may be and that some most likely are objectively real, this travelogue through the twilight zone of human consciousness is both scientifically rigorous and extremely entertaining.
Listeners may be surprised to learn that reputable scientists, among them several Nobel laureates, have claimed that telepathy is a reality, that Cleopatra's lost palace and Richard III's burial place were recovered by means of clairvoyance, and that an espionage program using psychics was set up by the US military! The author proposes that all humans (perhaps, all living beings) are linked together in a sort of ''mental internet'' that allows us to exchange ''telepathic emails'' and make clairvoyant downloads of information.
Could it be that what we usually call ''supernatural'' is a natural but little understood communication via this mental internet? An engaging, entertaining, and informative analysis of a controversial subject in which these phenomena are approached as potential expressions of unexplained powers of the human mind.

In Dimensions, Dr. Jacques Vallee reexamines the historical record that led to the modern UFO phenomenon and to the belief in alien contact. He then tackles the enigma of abduction reports, which come from various times and various countries, as well as the psychic and spiritual components of the contact experience. In the last portion of the book, he notes the factors that inhibit research into the phenomenon - the triple coverup and political motivations - and concludes that the extraterrestrial theory is simply not strange enough to explain the facts.

Is everything connected? Can we sense what's happening to loved ones thousands of miles away? Why are we sometimes certain of a caller's identity the instant the phone rings? Do intuitive hunches contain information about future events? Is it possible to perceive without the use of the ordinary senses? Many people believe that such "psychic phenomena" are rare talents or divine gifts. Others don't believe they exist at all. But the latest scientific research shows that these phenomena are both real and widespread.

Nearly everyone is familiar with holograms - three-dimensional images projected into space with the aid of a laser. Two of the world's most eminent thinkers believe that the universe itself may be a giant hologram, quite literally a kind of image or construct created, at least in part, by the human mind. University of London physicist David Bohm, one of the world's most respected quantum physicists, and Stanford neurophysiologist Karl Pribram, an architect of our modern understanding of the brain, have developed a remarkable new way of looking at the universe.

Absolutely Mind Boggling!
The scope, depth, and vivid descriptions in this book will blow your mind! Also, Terje’s sense of humor is an absolute treat! Listen to Terje’s unbiased unveiling of all things paranormal, and go visit Alex Tsakiris’s Skeptiko Forum where I found him! This is a spiritual expedition at it’s very best!

Cons: "Emperor of USA" Obama Joke & Trump-Bashing
I have enjoyed the ebook version of this largely entertaining and well written look at possible hidden forces behind reality. So I decided to pick up where I'd left off there within the auditory pages of this adaptation. But the fairy tale story joke in which liberal icon Obama is Emperor of the USA probably made the author really feel good about himself while he is not a United States citizen who has watched this country go downhill ever since that particular president was in office. You not only get to read/listen about the paranormal, you get to hear the usual bulls**t about politics. Are there alphabet agencies demanding that this be inserted into mainstream publications in order to push narratives? I'm being entertained one minute and the next I'm smelling a fart in a candy shop. I was very surprised at the section of the book in which the author seems excited by a violent prediction made against President Donald Trump. Liberals are filled with hate but they believe everybody else is filled with hate, not them. it was disconcerning to see an author from another country speak so flippantly about the idea of tragedy occurring to a United States President. But liberals are a global hive mind. I'm an ex-Democrat, but the only thing paranormal in politics would be honesty and forthrightness, from right or from left. Nowadays any political talk in art is just propaganda and preaching, and dreadfully boring. The cheerful tone of the prose is not captured by the narrator, who does a fine job but sounds like he just attended a funeral for triplets then got a ticket for doing 10mph in the fast lane on the way home. If only this book had stuck entirely to its fun subject matter! Not everything is about politics. If the author disagrees maybe he should write straight-out communist propaganda for globalist neoliberal right-wingers-in-disguise. He might finally feel fulfilled.
