Editorial Praise for Contact with the Future
“An original and disciplined approach to one of the most elusive phenomena in science. Jon Taylor’s theory of precognition is both grounded in physics and rich in explanatory power—a bold attempt to bridge the gap between parapsychology and mainstream science.”
—Stanley Krippner, PhD, Co-editor of Varieties of Anomalous Experience
“A stimulating, scientifically grounded take on psychic phenomena . . . Physics, neuroscience, experiments, and experience all suggest that we can see the future . . . [Taylor’s] treatment of this controversial subject is one of the most systematic and rational ones in print.”
—Kirkus Reviews
“Compelling . . . a wealth of insight into how and why the mind works . . . a Must Read!”
—Reedsy Discovery; 5 stars
“The amount of research conducted by the author is impressive. He explains the advanced scientific concepts in an easy-to-understand way . . . supported by a wealth of data and compelling examples.”
—Online Book Club; 5 stars
What if you could really see into the Future?
Have you ever experienced a gut feeling that proved correct, a dream that later mirrored reality, or an unshakable instinct about a decision you couldn't explain?
In Contact with the Future, interdisciplinary scientist Jon Taylor explores the emerging science of precognition and intuition, revealing how the brain can connect with future information—and why this may be more natural than it seems.
Drawing on decades of research, peer-reviewed publications, and a background in both physical sciences and parapsychology, Taylor offers a rigorous yet accessible investigation into one of the most fascinating frontiers of human cognition.
In this revised and expanded edition, you’ll discover:
- Scientific evidence showing how the brain can access its own future knowledge, with information arising from a correlation between present and future brain states.
- A physical theory rooted in David Bohm’s interpretation of quantum mechanics, offering a model of precognition that avoids the paradox of backward causation.
- Insights into how intuition, remote viewing, dowsing, and even the I Ching may share a common underlying mechanism.
- How animal instinct demonstrates precognition in the natural world.
- Practical applications of intuition in creativity, survival, and decision-making.
A bridge between science and the unexplained
The book begins with a careful review of experimental data and case studies supporting the existence of precognition and other forms of ESP. It then presents a new theoretical framework grounded in quantum theory and an understanding of the memory system in the brain—one that helps explain how the brain receives information from the future.
The final section explores the role of precognition in daily life, showing how intuitive decisions can help us navigate uncertainty, avoid danger, and enhance well-being.
Contact with the Future is not just a study of anomalies—it is a call to rethink the nature of time, consciousness, and human potential.
Are you ready to explore the science of the future – an exploration that may forever alter your perception of reality?
