The second of a double issue on exceptional experiences, Mindfield 13.3 honors the human element of the paranormal while also trying to go beyond - inviting ways in which human exceptionalism may be impeding our progress in parapsychology. By invoking the phrase high strangeness, Jack Hunter urges us to see the intricate and, indeed, weird interconnections between various paranormal events. This hints at a reality that is much stranger than most of our models. Furthering this line of inquiry, Jacob Glazier argues the notion of the epistémé taken from deconstruction demonstrates how the current version of science is necessarily exclusionary of the paranormal. Claude Berghmans reviews the literature on NDEs urging reserachings to more deeply consider the spiritual dimension. The Mindfield team interviews Jamie Pearce on her fieldwork and understanding of exceptional experiences. Maurice van Luijtelaar and Renaud Evrard compile the 35th installment of articles relevant to parapsychology.
