Sense from Thought Divide

Resumen

"Sense from Thought Divide" by Mark Clifton is a science fiction novel written in the mid-20th century. The story delves into themes of parapsychology and the nature of human perception, exploring the intersection of scientific inquiry and supernatural phenomena. It presents a narrative that challenges the boundaries of belief and skepticism as it examines the concept of psi abilities and their implications on technology and human understanding. The plot follows a personnel director, Mr. Kennedy, as he engages with the military’s Poltergeist Section and a purported psychic, the Swami, in a quest to harness telekinetic abilities to create antigravity units. Initially dismissive of the Swami's authenticity, Kennedy quickly finds himself entangled in a series of bizarre episodes driven by psi effects, including the inexplicable movement of objects. As Kennedy navigates the challenges posed by both the Swami and his general manager's demands, he ultimately discovers that genuine psi effects may exist and that both belief and emotion play critical roles in their manifestation. This journey raises questions about perception, reality, and the thin line that separates disbelief from faith in the extraordinary. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
