Science and the Siddhis (or Powers of Yoga)withDean Radin
Books Mentioned In This Interview
real magic entangled minds the conscious universeDean Radin, PhD, is chief scientist at the Institute of Noetic Science in Novato, California. He is author of The Conscious Universe, Entangled Minds, Supernormal, and Real Magic.
In this video, rebooted from 2019, he reviews the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali, especially with regard to the description of about 25 different “siddhis” or powers that are attained by advanced practitioners. Once one has achieved a measure of enlightenment, known as samadhi, one can begin the practice of samyama which then enables a variety of parapsychological skills. However, in yoga, these are generally considered to be distractions from the ultimate goal of spiritual enlightenment. Radin compares the claims of yoga with the findings of parapsychology.
