Are We Latter-day Psi-nts?: Resources in Mormonism for Affirming the Paranormal

Are We Latter-day Psi-nts?: Resources in Mormonism for Affirming the Paranormal Many events and elements in Latter-day Saint history and belief fall under the broad classification of paranormal, or psi, phenomena. Yet, even so, we have a long-standing tradition of denying that these occurrences are ultimately “miraculous,” arguing instead that were all the principles governing the universe known, we would see that such things really work in accord with natural laws. I have read widely in parapsychology for some time and have begun to draw parallels between some of Joseph Smith’s teachings and various theoretical frameworks emerging in psychical research. In this session, I will share some of these findings.
