I agree that the problem with research into anomalous cognition has to do with upholding individuality of the person. Empirical scientific measurement will maybe one day advance to capture the bio-mechanism of these elusive senses. Interestingly the state of mind required, that of minimal activity in the parietal lobes, as when meditating, is also seen in a trauma state: when boundaries between physical self and environment are lost. Elite athletes and performers have also described a feeling of "oneness". I was intrigued by one psychic's personality analysis of the author's daughter-a grave error by one of her ancestors is to blame.
