I met Dean Radin over twenty years ago when he was at The University Of Nevada Las Vegas as the first serious researcher in the world to apply the scientific method to so-called “Psi” phenomena—essentially anything “supernatural” such as extra-sensory perception.
Dean had worked at Bell Labs, GTE and Princeton University and was using rigid laboratory standards to determine that these phenomena not only exist, they can be proven by recognized research methodology, including peer-reviewed duplication of conclusive proofs. He presented a summary of his work around this time in The Conscious Universe, which has stayed in print ever since and been translated into many languages.
You Can’t Go Home Again
Naturally I asked him what was most mind-blowing of all he’d witnessed in the lab setting and without hesitation he told me, “Well that’s got to be Joe McMoneagle and the remote viewing experiments.” I of course dashed off and made a study of remote viewing and was plenty astounded to find out the U.S. government had gone out and found the most gifted of all these people they could find—like with athleticism, we all have some, many have a decent amount to varying degrees, and a rare few are elite—and fostered an entire program dedicated to spying psychically on primarily the Soviet Union.
This of course, for those who may not have been alive then, was back when the nation’s entire military-industrial mythology was devoted to demonizing Russia as the great existential threat on earth as opposed to the current junta that violates oath of office and placates the the regime’s murderous, totalitarian dictator—over the findings of our own intelligence services—and who now successfully attacks elections around the world while poisoning his political opponents.
At any rate, not only could the best remote viewers sometimes read, for example, information inside files locked in rooms many thousands of miles away, people like Dean proved scientifically that at their heights the remote viewers could read notes yet to be written and placed inside random books in a library after the test viewing experiment.
One of those remote viewers summed up his experiences:
Once you discover that space doesn’t matter, or that time can be traveled through at will so that time doesn’t matter, and that matter can be moved by consciousness so that matter doesn’t matter—well, you can’t go home again.

Real Magic
Dean’s latest work Real Magic is a summary of his life’s work:
According to Dean Radin (PhD, psychology), Chief Scientist at the Institute of Noetic Sciences (IONS), bestselling author, and featured scientist in the New York Times Magazine, magic is real, and science is on its way to understanding it. In his new book, Real Magic (Harmony Books), Radin paves the road to new scientific horizons, arguing that magic is a natural aspect of reality that everyone is capable of tapping into with diligent practice.
Unlike books that discuss magical beliefs, or insist that magic has been disenchanted by science, Radin’s view is grounded in a century of evidence-based laboratory tests. He pulls from his forty years of experience conducting controlled laboratory studies in universities and industry, including formerly classified work for the U.S government. His results, plus those compiled from a century of scientific research, are astounding, demonstrating that thoughts are things, that we can sense others’ emotions and intentions from a distance, that intuition and intention are more powerful than we’ve been taught, and that everyone can tap into the power that undergirds the physical universe itself.
Testimonials and accolades have poured in from around the scientific community including likes of legend LSD-dropping, surfer Nobel laureate biochemist Kary Mullis and premier research leaders like Stanley Krippner.
Here’s what Larry Dossey, M.D. says:
There is a tacit agreement in conventional science to deny, ignore and remain silent about the most astonishing fact of our lives — the capacity of our consciousness to shape our existence and the so-called physical world. This is the equivalent of blind men refusing the gift of vision. In Real Magic, Dean Radin challenges us to abandon this childish pretense, this taboo, not on the basis of faith but of science itself. Our future likely depends on how we respond to the key messages in Real Magic.
Let’s Deal With It
While there has always been a most unfortunate sewage and newage flow of balderdash about inquiry into the the vast amounts of the universe and experience that we cannot readily see or comprehend, there is likewise no shortage of serious, legitimate inquiry that makes the world a tremendously better place, which allows vast and natural empowerment for those who seek a life beyond the enslaved pitfalls, addictions and counter-initiations of bad food, alcohol and drugs, dominant paradigms, entertainment & technology.
Real Magic by Dean Radin leads the way in recent books of this vintage:
“Many scientific and scholarly disciplines are slowly coming around to the idea that consciousness is far more important than previously imagined. This shift of opinion, combined with the idea that reality is a form of information, provides a renewed appreciation of ancient esoteric Legends about magic. If we can get past the supernatural connotations, the religious figures in prohibitions, and the occult baggage, then through the scientific study of magic we have the potential to make rapid progress and gaining a better understanding of who and what we are. If we can’t escape or pass, then we may be running headlong into extinction.
Dean Radin
Magic is real.
Let’s deal with it.”
