Here Schwartz and Mishlove examine why parapsychology has yet to achieve its potential as a discipline that could revolutionize both science and society. Schwartz points out that, in previous centuries, scholars who investigated nonlocal consciousness were at risk of being burned at the stake. He also maintains that the data from many other disciplines is forcing scientists of a materialist bent to rethink their metaphysical assumptions.
