The existence of these phenomena - mind reading, the whirling pendulum, table rapping, dowsing, automatic writing, the Ouija board, and even the belief that horses can be taught to spell and do arithmetic - depends on a single principle: involuntary muscle movements. This book proposes that nonconscious movements evolved as adaptive mechanisms, thereby freeing consciousness for greater information processing. Unfortunately, nonconscious movements have been recruited by the mind to support wishful thinking and fixed ideas. The field is witnessing an extraordinary example of this recruitment, and consequently it provides a foundation for scientific study concerning the nature of consciousness and the roles played by self-deception and wishful thinking.
