Brigitte, you write:

"Dr. Stephen Braude's book THE LIMITS OF INFLUENCE,
and
his first chapter on 'The importance of
non-experimental evidence' does not provide any
evidence beyond the existence of certain psychic
abilities, and some aspects of the Ganzfeld theory
that are much more 
up to date explained in Dean I. Radin's book that is
much more up to date, yet denies the
medium/materialisation con as a reality."

I am somewhat confused by what you write above.

". . . denies the medium/materialisation con as a
reality." ?? What does this mean??

Are you telling me that Radin in his book gives the
opinion that mediumship and materializations are a
"con" and therefore "not real"? Could you cite pages
please? I would like to read what Radin writes and
see what the SPECIFIC REASONS are for this statement.

OBTW, have you read Braude's book and have you read
the first chapter of that book?
