"History shows that every intelligent man who has gone into this investigation, if he gave it adequate examination at all, has come out believing in spirits; this circumstance places the burden of proof on the shoulders of the skeptic." |

Featured Evidence
The Policeman and the Painter
Undergoing hypnotic regression on a dare, a very skeptical, long-time police officer is startled to find himself a painter in front of an easel studying a picture of a hunchback woman. Research revealed that the artist's career 100 years ago, matched the details from the regression sessions in at least 28 particulars.

Featured Interview
Dr. David Fontana
 “I very much doubt if those who support [Super ESP] have spent 30 years investigating, at first hand, the evidence for survival, If they had, it is doubtful they would continue to support the notion that everything comes from telepathy or clairvoyance by the living.” ♦ For other interviews of important persons in the development of evidence for an afterlife, see
aisle L1 in the Legacy room of the Garland Memorial Library. |
Featured Commentary
The Wallace Revelations
 The renowned naturalist Alfred Russel Wallace speaks of the evidence that changed him from skeptic to believer.

New to Spiritual Experiences?
| | One reason, among many, that prompts people to visit this website is that they are seeking explanations or reassurance concerning a puzzling occurrence in their life. I have put together a list of some of the most common — a lot more common than you might think — events that can trigger a shift in the way that one’s consciousness relates to one’s spiritual essence. You may
view this list here, and are welcome to contact me if you desire elaboration or wish to discuss your own experience. In the meantime, I’d like to say that I and all the other volunteers who make up the Academy are glad you stopped by and hope you find this site informative and our work gratifying. |
