Often seen as supernatural, anomalous, unpredictable, illusory and possibly dangerous, these activities are shown, instead, to be normal, continuous, lawful, and as real and useful as breathing. 606 $aExtrasensory perception 606 $aParapsychology 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aExtrasensory perception. 615 0$aParapsychology. 676 $a133.8 700 $aCarpenter$b James$g(James C.)$01053243 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910461128503321 996 $aFirst sight$92485055 997 $aUNINA
