 | | I come to this view also through a different aspect of my life; that is, my Buddhist practice. | | | At the 20th International Conference of the Society for Psychical Research, four of us - John Beloff, Guy Playfair, Richard Wiseman and myself - were asked to speak for just ten minutes each on the theme ‘Back to Basics’. | | | I have been training in Zen for about fifteen years, and it is, at least for many people, a very long and slow process. |

| | It was in fact everything that was vaguely known at the time as supernatural; in other words everything that to scientists was non-existent, to the rest of the world beyond the realm of natural law. | | | Indeed, he kept the noses of SPR members so firmly down to earth for so many years that they formed the habit and have dutifully remained there ever since. | | | But from belief in the supernatural - from belief as such of any kind - they were at once careful to dissociate the society. |

| | THE SOCIETY FOR PSYCHICAL RESEARCH & OTHER EARLY INVESTIGATORS |
| | The scientific establishment, resentful over the fact that they had managed to break the hold that religion had on society only to lose their footing to Spiritualism, encouraged the debunking of mediums and had a blatant disregard for anything that even hinted at the supernatural. | | | Not long after though, many of the practitioners of this new faith were exposed as frauds and a division formed between those who believed in Spiritualism and those who did not. | | | Psychic investigation began just shortly after the birth of Spiritualism. |

| | HPB and the Society for Psychical Research by Grace F. Knoche |
| | At first Hodgson was predisposed to believe in her innocence, but soon he adopted Emma Coulomb's position: that she (Emma) not only had assisted HPB in fraudulent activities, but that HPB had herself written the so-called "Mahatma" letters. | | | On the positive side HPB has always had and continues today to have staunch defenders, not alone among theosophists, but among admirers who independently recognize the validity of her message. | | | Totally false, said HPB, backed by Olcott who had experienced since his New York days sufficient phenomena to know that the often mysterious incidents at Adyar occurring around HPB -- many in his presence -- though often difficult to explain scientifically were by no means faked. |

| | The home of Steiner's spiritual movement in Switzerland is Dornach, not "Dorlach"; a typo, sure, but it should have been caught. | | | Katz's account of Isaac Newton's biblical exegesis shows that the father of modern science was a dab hand at the occult sciences too. | | | Equally annoying is Katz's condescending tone when speaking of people like the philosopher and psychologist William James, who wrote incisively about mysticism, altered states of consciousness, conversion, the paranormal and other occult subjects, including the possibility of life after death. |
