The Rhine Research Center
Mission Statement
The Rhine Research Center is an integrative center for the study of
consciousness. We are a hub for ground-breaking research and educational
activities on the nature of human consciousness – its reach, its reality,
its durability, its healing capacity, and its spiritual dimension.
“The scientific worker seizes upon the inexplicable phenomenon as he (or
she) would upon a suddenly discovered treasure. The more unexplainable and
mysterious it is, the more insight it will yield when eventually explained.”
--J.B. Rhine (1947) |
 For
the past 70 years, we've been researching and studying the experimental
science of parapsychology. Now in the 21st century, the Rhine Center
continues the mission and work of its founder J.B. Rhine with a broadened
scope directed deeper into the Study of Consciousness.
ESP cards and dice games have long since been replaced by modern techniques
that allow more subtle measurements of psi, such as by looking at the
physiological changes or bioenergy characteristics of psychics and healers,
or by measuring the telepathic awareness of emotional targets in a simulated
dream-like situation. Efforts are made to detect clues that come directly
from the psi experiencers themselves, whether they are healers, intuitives,
or simply ordinary people who have these extraordinary experiences.
The Rhine Center expands its search for
knowledge by an active give-and-take between the psychic experiencer and the
scientist with educational programs and discussion groups available for the
general public. This is a collaboration that stems back to the late 1940’s
when Louisa E. Rhine began her original collection of spontaneous psi
experiences from the general public, a case collection and analysis that
extended and amplified the findings that were continuously emerging from the
solid experimental research that is more closely identified with her
lifelong collaborator and husband J.B. Rhine. |
