This week the books I am reading from are 'The Book of Seances' by Claire Goodchild and 'The UFO Phenomenon: Should I Believe?' by Dr. Robert Davis.Dr Robert DavisTHE EXTRAORDINARY SCIENCE OF CONSCIOUSNESSWhat is consciousness? No one knows for sure. It’s a mystery of modern science. Yet, it’s one of the most profound questions confronting humanity. The study of consciousness, from research in biology, psychology, quantum theory, and parapsychology gives us some insight. But the true nature of human consciousness remains elusive. Join us as we explore this profound mystery and look to the world’s leading experts, who are searching for the answers to this “missing link” in the new docu-film, The Consciousness Connection.Dr. Robert Davis is an internationally recognized scientist in his field. He graduated with a PhD in sensory neuroscience from the Ohio State University and served as a professor at the State University of New York for over 30 years. Davis has published over 60 articles in scholarly journals, lectured at numerous national and international conferences, and was awarded major grants by scientific organizations to fund research in the neurosciences. He is the author of two popular books: The UFO Phenomenon: Should I Believe? and Life after Death: An Analysis of the Evidence. He has discussed his work at conferences throughout the world and has appeared on many podcast and radio shows. Currently working with David Beaty producing and interviewing the world’s leading experts, who are searching for the answers to this “missing link” in the new docu-film, The Consciousness Connection.https://consciousnessfilm.info/https://bobdavisspeaks.com/Claire Goodchild.From an award-winning artist, a beautifully mysterious guide to conducting seances and communing with the spirits in our conscious and unconscious lives.As long as people have lived, they have longed for wisdom and comfort from those who have died.
