After the police failed to turn up any leads, a friend suggested she call a dowser--a man who specialized in finding lost objects. With nothing to lose--and almost as a joke--Dr. Mayer agreed. Within two days, and without leaving his Arkansas home, the dowser located the exact California street coordinates where the harp was found. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eDeeply shaken, yet driven to understand what had happened, Mayer began the fourteen-year journey of discovery that she recounts in this mind-opening, brilliantly readable book. Her first surprise: the dozens of colleagues who'd been keeping similar experiences secret for years, fearful of being labeled credulous or crazy. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eExtraordinary Knowing is an attempt to break through the silence imposed by fear and to explore what science has to say about these and countless other \"inexplicable\" phenomena. From Sigmund Freud's writings on telepathy to secret CIA experiments on remote viewing, from leading-edge neuroscience to the strange world of quantum physics, Dr. Mayer reveals a wealth of credible and fascinating research into the realm where the mind seems to trump the laws of nature. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eShe does not ask us to believe. Rather she brings us a book of profound intrigue and optimism, with far-reaching implications not just for scientific inquiry but also for the ways we go about living in the world.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eElizabeth Lloyd Mayer, Ph.D., was an internationally known psychoanalyst, researcher, and clinician, the author of groundbreaking papers on female development, the nature of science, and intuition, and a contributor to \u003cb\u003eConsciousness and Healing\u003c\/b\u003e, published by the \u003cb\u003eInstitute of Noetic Sciences\u003c\/b\u003e.
