Welcome to this first book, Edges of Consciousness, in our series exploring our collective, global consciousness. Overall, the series of five books will become an embracing tome entitled Bubbles of Consciousness. The end goal is to affect a change in humanity's somewhat self-destructive behaviors, i.e., those behaviors that are steadily and increasingly poisoning our environment, our planet, and ourselves. The immediate aim is to offer creative solutions to humanity's pressing dilemmas. The first and second books have been written, and the third book is under development. The series will complete with a total of five books. The guiding assumption in developing this series is that our values and thoughts determine our behavior, and that in turn, our behavior impacts our environment for better, or for worse. In this series, topic areas touched upon will include (1) human history, psychology and sociology, (2) extra sensory perception, paranormal experience and parapsychology, and (3) spirituality, transcendentalism, mysticism, religion, and the supernatural. The first book, Edges of Consciousness, is a review of the transcendent powers lying within human consciousness. These transcendent powers have been largely either forgotten ~ hidden ~ ignored ~ or overlooked. Consequently, they have become quite mysterious to the average human being, and are currently categorized as belonging to the realm of the mystical paranormal. Edges of Consciousness, explores (1) paranormal phenomena such as psychokinesis, telekinesis, telepathy, clairvoyance, precognition, out-of-body experiences, ghosts and reincarnation, (2) the possibility that there is far more to us than we consciously realize, and (3) that our hidden gifts may be helpful in pursuing our goal of saving our planet Earth from humanity's misguided adventures. This book does not attempt to persuade through argumentation, but rather through a comprehensive review of what is known today about paranormal phenomena, especially through the eyes of rigorous and objective scientific researchers. Paranormal research is very much an ongoing activity, and there is much happening today that most of us are not aware of. This book should bring us relatively up-to-date on current research activity, and the interesting possibilities that become evident from that research. Most of this is happening at the outer edges of our everyday normal, or conventional, mundane collective consciousness. Subsequent books in the series will continue the exploration of collective consciousness by examining related areas. Conventional thinking will be thoroughly investigated, including the different manifestations of conventional thinking, the paradoxical question of ownership, and the historical roots underpinning conventional thinking. Lesser known alternatives to conventional thinking will also be looked at, and possibilities probed for usefulness. In this series exploring collective human consciousness, the ultimate hope is that paths will be discovered and utilized in such a way so as to help us reclaim the beauty and well-being of our awesome planet Earth, and save ourselves in the process. All of us enjoy life here on this planet, and presently humanity is at the risk of losing that existence. The signs of imminent environmental collapse are all around us. This book is dedicated to all those who are making the effort to quickly turn things around.
