Miracles of Mind

Recently, I had a long conversation with my friend Jane Katra, Ph.D., coauthor with physicist, Russell Targ, of two fascinating books -- Miracles of Mind and The Heart of the Mind.



I first met Jane in Europe in 1976 when we both attended parapsychology conferences in Amsterdam and in London. Jane, who has her doctorate in public health, is a spiritual healer; and she is also deeply involved in investigating the question of survival after death.

Miracles of Mind tells two stories. One of them involves the remote viewing (or clairvoyance) research of Russell Targ. The other story is how Russell received a medical diagnosis of terminal cancer, and how Jane worked with him as a healer. Initially, x-rays shows spots on Russell's liver. He was told by his doctor that he might have only six months to live. After about six weeks of working with Jane, the next test, a CATscan, showed no signs of cancer at all.

Jane has told me how she felt guided to work with Russell Targ by the spirit of a deceased psychic, Hella Hamid, who had been one of Targ's star subjects in his remote viewing research. The interesting part of this story is that Jane had never met Hella Hammid.

Jane is also a very talented remote-viewer, and participated in an important pilot study (that I helped to initiate) showing that remote-viewing can be used to predict the financial markets.



In the second book, coauthored by Targ and Katra, The Heart of the Mind, the focus is on secular people can come to know god by opening themselves up to the experience of universal love.

In my earlier blog about the late Elisabeth Targ, M.D., I reported on an apparent instance of communication that I received from her. And, I alluded to the fact that many other individuals have also reported such instances. Jane Katra is currently working on a book about these communications. I am very much looking forward to reading it.
