Long ago, the idea of an underlying unity to everything took hold in religions and philosophies around the world—an idea that’s dismissed scientifically as an explanation for things mainstream science today can’t explain. Telepathy, for example, and precognition are well studied, and compelling evidence that these are real phenomena exists. Put clairvoyance on the list, too, because it’s the PSI ability utilized for remote viewing. And while mainstream science has issues with the evidence for remote viewing, that crowd is far behind the times. While they still hold the line against acceptance, declassified documents from numerous psychic spying programs dating back to the early 1970s reported phenomenal successes with remote viewing.

The question now isn’t whether they’re real, it’s how phenomena like clairvoyance, precognition, and telepathy work. Mainstream science isn’t much help in finding those answers, but I think two of the great minds of the twentieth century, Carl Jung and Wolfgang Pauli, gave us their answer in the theory of synchronicity. Even many fans of Jung’s work are not aware of Pauli’s contributions in what became a two-decade collaboration to unify psychology and physics. In the end, they returned to what we’ve known all along: the reality underlying the world of matter and mind is unified, undivided—the unus mundus. Mind and matter are dual aspects of a single source, a dual-aspect monad.

Accepting the underlying unity of everything explains much of what has so far been unexplainable by mainstream science—not for lack of trying by the intrepid parapsychologists of the past 150 years, a history tracked in my book The Science of the Paranormal. In it, you meet a fascinating cast of characters who contributed to what is, surprisingly, a thoroughly convincing body of evidence. From flying friars to reincarnated WWII pilots, you don’t have to believe it all, but you will stay busy following the trail through the research literature, as I did. And if you accept the central premise, then join the club—it’s what numerous other people, some with serious scientific and academic credentials, have accepted too, especially after personal experiences of the paranormal. The experience of a precognitive dream or a synchronicity can be enough to pry open the skeptical mind.

Something else I learned while reading the rebuttals and “debunking” of the published research that made it into my book is that skepticism has become dogma (which is “am god” spelled backwards), and is actually doing more harm than good. Remember, clairvoyance is proven with very high confidence, statistically speaking, but more importantly it’s proven through operational successes by military and intelligence programs. So is telepathy. And I’ll throw in near-death experiences (NDEs), because you wouldn’t believe what’s come out recently in resuscitation journals. The field of medical science finally rose to the challenge of NDEs, and in the end a couple dozen top-tier researchers put their names on a paper stating that death appears to lower the mind’s ability to filter out other dimensions of reality that are there before you are born and after you die. People who return from death report, again and again, that everything is united—unified. It’s so unlike the physical world, yet intimately connected to it.

This idea also emerges from research such as the Global Consciousness Project, where experiments with random number generators gave us clear evidence for unusual deviations during mass events like September 11, 2001, and Princess Diana’s funeral. Unity is the best explanation for precognition, and there’s even some great math to back it up (see my book’s bibliography). Unity is there everywhere you turn when you dig deep enough.

To me, the timing for the reemergence of this ancient idea—along with evidence strong enough to meet the highest scientific standards—is not a coincidence. In case you hadn’t noticed, humans on this planet are self-destructing. The tension generated by the dire need for answers might prompt the collective unconscious to produce a symbol that unifies the opposites—the opposites among us that are keeping us from saving ourselves, presuming we can hold on long enough. That’s how it works when caught in a paradox: the push and pull of opposites. Sit with it long enough and the unconscious will produce a unifying symbol.

That’s my hope for us collectively: realize our unity, realize that reality, and put it to work healing ourselves and the planet. I couldn’t say so in my book because I had to stick to the science, but the most effective thing each of us can do is connect through the heart with the planet. Global consciousness isn’t just among us humans, but among all life on the planet—the biosphere—and the planet itself, Mother Earth. If cognitive scientist Michael Persinger is correct, the planet’s electromagnetic field connects us all to a highway of high-speed information and energy exchange. Dr. Beitman uses the term psychosphere to describe this collective mental atmosphere of all life on this planet. To the curious, I’ll close by dropping a hint: there are some very interesting things you can do as a node in that system if you understand the true power of your own mind and body. Unity means, after all, that each of us possesses access to the whole of consciousness—and that whole is far grander than what we’ve been taught to believe. It’s something humans have known all along.
