Description
In the oral and written histories of every culture, there are countless records of men and women who have displayed extraordinary physical, mental, and spiritual capacities. In modern times, those records have been supplemented by scientific studies of exceptional functioning. Are the limits of human growth fixed? Are extraordinary abilities latent within everyone? Is there evidence that humanity has unrealized capacities for self-transcendence? Are there specific practices through which ordinary people can develop these abilities?Michael Murphy has studied these questions for over thirty years. In The Future of the Body, he presents evidence for metanormal perception, cognition, movement, vitality, and spiritual development from more than 3,000 sources. Surveying ancient and modern records in medical science, sports, anthropology, the arts, psychical research, comparative religious studies, and dozens of other disciplines, Murphy has created an encyclopedia of exceptional functioning of body, mind, and spirit. He paints a broad and convincing picture of the possibilities of further evolutionary development of human attributes.By studying metanormal abilities under a wide range of conditions, Murphy suggests that we can identify those activities that typically evoke these capacities and assemble them into a coherent program of transformative practice.A few of Murphy's central observations and proposal include:The observation that cultural conditioning powerfully shapes (or extinguishes) metanormal capacities.The proposition that we cannot comprehend our potentials for extraordinary life without an empirical approach that involves many fields of inquiry and different kinds of knowing.The notion that a widespread realization of extraordinary capacities would constitute an evolutionary transcendence analogous to the rise of humankind from its primal ancestry.The proposal that all or most instances of significant human development are produced by a limited number of identifiable activities such as disciplined self-observation, visualization of desired capacities, and caring for others.The idea that a balanced development of our various capacities is possible through integrated practices.In The Future Of The Body, Murphy states that such practices can carry forward Earth's evolutionary adventure and lead humanity to the next step in its development.

There is an encyclopedic resource on the paranormal , which has over 10,000 scientific experiments, papers, and articles collected into one encyclopedic volume. It was put together by Michael Murphy and is called "The Future of the Body." It provides evidence for the existence of another order of reality. The San Francisco Chronicle says about this resource: "This obsessively researched, meticulously documented encyclopedia stands alone amid the plethora of lightweight books churned out today on spiritual teaching and psychological self-help." The Noetic Sciences Review says: "Murphy has accomplished an extraordinary feat in categorizing and synthesizing findings from more than 10, 000 studies and reports which collectively provide evidence for the possibility of human transformation, and which may presage the next phase of human evolution." USA Today says "It may be the most complete reference yet on the mind’s ability to enhance human potential. "Keep in mind this is the peer reviewed science on these things, 785 pages of it. The Bibliography itself is 85 pages long. There are 43 pages of papers and scientific studies listed in the Appendices. The book develops all this in detail and as the review points out cites and utilizes over 10, 000 studies and reports. The purpose of that evidence was to show that science has now and has had for over 150 years evidence for the existence of other and invisible realm(s) of intelligence and activity that negate the naturalistic and materialistic model physicalist science uses.
