Book Spotlight – Our Secret Powers: Telepathy, Clairvoyance and Precognition – A Short History of (Nearly) Everything Paranormal
Written by Terje Simonsen
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 Cleopatra’s lost palace and Richard III’s burial place were recovered by the use of clairvoyance. And some will think it to be science fiction when finding out about Stargate––the espionage program where the American military and CIA engaged in the development of psychic spies
Terje 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 should not 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 likely 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 what we call ‘supernatural’ could perhaps be completely natural but little-understood communications via this Mental Internet?

More Reviews of Our Secret Powers
“Simonsen describes his book as “A travelogue from the twilight zone,” but he is far too modest. Our Secret Powers is a sprawling work, meticulously researched, in which the author deftly, and with engaging wit, pulls together the various strands of “psi”–telepathy, clairvoyance, precognition, telekinesis, and healing–and presents them for our consideration.” ~ Teresa Carpenter, Pulitzer-prize winner and New York Times #1 bestseller
Superb survey of the paranormal Although serious in content, Our Secret Powers 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. ~ Herbie Brennan, best-selling author, New York Times Book Review

“Simonsen is a remarkably balanced and insanely well-read guide into a literally impossible subject.” ~ Jeffrey J. Kripal, PhD, Professor of Religion, Rice University, Texas
