Do you ever question your spiritual gifts? Or that manifesting can’t possibly be real? Do you have a hard time believing things like energy healing, psychic intuition, and other extra-sensory perception is legitimate? Even though you may feel at your core that it exists and is true and you WANT to believe fully, there is still a voice of doubt?

I understand completely. With my background in science, I love to see the evidence for and against and make an evaluation for myself. That’s why I love this list of peer-reviewed journal articles about supernatural, psychic, and parapsychological phenomena provided by Dean Radin. Original web page can be found here.

Most of the below papers have been published in the 21st Century. There are also links to papers of historical interest and other resources like videos.

Take a look and see for yourself. Each resource has a link so you can access it – just click on the title. Then you can make up your mind about what you do and do not believe.
