"Science of Noetic Experience" with Daryl Bem
In science generally, a phenomenon is not considered a reliable fact until it has been observed repeatedly by numerous independent researchers. One criticism of parapsychology is that it has not produced a repeatable psi effect. The "Ganzfeld experiment" and several other classes of psi experiments provide an independently repeatable demonstration of telepathy under rigorously controlled conditions.

"Psilocybin and quantum change in attitude and behavior" with Roland Griffiths
The overall finding that psilocybin can occasion, in most people studied, mystical-type experiences having sustained personal meaning and spiritual significance, indicates that such experiences and the changes they produce are now amenable to rigorous prospective scientific study. Several ongoing studies are discussed, including a study of psilocybin on meditation and spiritual practice in healthy volunteers, a study of psilocybin in psychologically distressed cancer patients, and a study of psilocybin-facilitated treatment of drug cigarette smoking cessation.

The Role of Transformation, Spirit, and Psychospiritual Approaches on Human Brain Activity and Immunity
The word transcendent conjures images of seeking a mountain top experience, of catapulting above the mundane physical world into a realm where one is unaffected by day-to-day complaints. One definition of the term transcendent is "separate from" or "beyond." But the root of the word transcend is "to climb over or across," which may more accurately describe the lived experience of one facing an illness or other challenging experience. In the real world, transcending life's events has less to do with finding a way to avoid or remove them and more to do with developing ways to live with them on a daily basis.
