Is the paranormal normal?
Many readers will be surprised when learning that reputable scientists, among them several Nobel laureates, have claimed that telepathy is a reality. Their curiosity will increase when reading that both Cleopatra’s lost palace and Richard III’s burial place were recovered by means of clairvoyance. And some will think it to be sheer science fiction when finding out about Stargate––the espionage program where the American military and CIA for 20 years engaged in the development of psychic spies!
Simonsen, a Norwegian historian of ideas, introduces an array of entertaining paranormal tales from history, archaeology, anthropology and psychology, and presents scientific research that has provided fascinating results. He argues that the stories we hear about telepathy, clairvoyance and precognition ought not to be dismissed as superstition.
In step with spiritual and occult traditions, the author suggests that consciousness is not limited to our own head. Rather he thinks that all humans (and perhaps all living beings) are linked together in a “Mental Internet.’ Via this network we may exchange ‘telepathic emails’ with friends and family and make clairvoyant ‘downloads’ of information. Thus perhaps what we usually call ‘supernatural’ is completely natural but little understood communications via this Mental Internet?

Our Secret Powers gives us a thoughtful and engaging presentation of a controversial subject and would make an excellent travel companion.

The majority of the considerations in this book are
based on strange incidents reported by scientists of one kind or another—archaeologists,
anthropologists, psychologists, physicists and philosophers. Such people are
more often than not very resourceful with well-developed skills in observation as
well as in thinking. It therefore seems reasonable to take their reports
seriously, even when—or especially when—they dare to speak against the
consensus and vouch for the paranormal. It is not unusual to think that those
scientists who report having experienced paranormal phenomena are misinterpreting
their experiences at best or are fraudulent at worst. I suggest we take ‘the
road less travelled,’ and regard ‘the defendants innocent until proven guilty’ and
seriously listen to their stories. They were there—we were not.
Terje G. Simonsen is an author with a Ph.D. in the History of Ideas. He
has increasingly focused his attention on the esoteric and occult
traditions and on paranormal phenomena, as telepathy, clairvoyance,
precognition, telekinesis, healing etc. Recently he published the highly
acclaimed Our Secret Powers, based on his extraordinary knowledge
within this field. Elegantly and with great personal wit and insight, he
discusses parapsychological phenomena such as telepathy, clairvoyance,
and precognition. Several of the world’s most renowned experts on the
paranormal has praised Simonsen’s work: The bestselling
parapsychologist, Dean Radin, PhD, chief scientist at the Institute of
Noetic Sciences, says: ‘As an encyclopedic introduction to the psychic
side of the fascinating but puzzling domain known as the paranormal, there is no better choice than Our Secret Powers.” And Stanley Krippner,
PhD, expert on hypnosis, shamanism and altered states of consciousness,
former leader of two departments in the American Psychological
Association, says: “This is an outstanding book and it deserves all the
attention it can get. Not only is Our Secret Powers a book for all seasons, it is a book for all reasons!’”

I would just say it is good to be here, and that I welcome any questions!
...and let me also mention that the book recently has received a warm recommendation from the fantasy-writer Herbie Brennan, author of, among many other books, The Faerie Wars series. Herbie says:

Superb survey of the paranormal

Who would have thought Sir Arthur Conan Doyle once applied for membership of the Hermetic Students of the Golden Dawn, an organisation dedicated to teaching the magical arts? Or that he withdrew his application when he discovered one of its officers really did have magical abilities? Who would have thought yours truly would have found himself described as ‘a renowned Irish occultist and writer?’ But then Our Secret Powers — which flags itself as ‘a Short History of (Nearly) Everything Paranormal’ — is like that: a veritable cornucopia of odd facts and fascinating information stitched into a much-needed survey of a vitally important subject.
Now available in English for the first time, the book takes in a broad sweep of scientific laboratory research, but is predicated on the conviction that the best evidence for the paranormal is anecdotal. While clearly of a scientific mind-set himself, the author does not shy away from the occult, a fantastic repository of paranormal case stories often totally ignored by conventional investigators. Although serious in content, it is written in a light, often humorous, style which is a delight to read. As someone who has myself made a lifelong study of the paranormal, I cannot recommend it highly enough.
