My fellow psychologists and academics are sometimes surprised when I tell them that I 'believe' in psychic phenomena such as telepathy and pre-cognition (that is, that I think there is a strong possibility that they exist). Like many intellectuals, they see the 'paranormal' as superstitious nonsense, part of an irrational view of the world which has been superseded by modern materialistic science.

Full version - OLEG LINETSKY First of all, I'd like to express my sincere gratitude to you for your aspiration to see deeper and embrace more reality. To all of you who has greater respect to different dimensions of manifestation, more sensitivity and depth of perception. I feel deep resonance with you. We really miss this kind of communication in Ukraine. I am also grateful to the organizers of the conference and especially to Ken Wilber for a wonderful trip in the development of human consciousness. With that I am deeply indignant at Ken Wilber for excluding the absolute truth, voice of the heart and the genuine wisdom from the Integral model. I appreciate and committed to the Integral ideas, but I cannot betray the ultimate wisdom of my Dzogchen tradition, in a favor of such conceptions as evolutionary spirituality or evolutionary wisdom.
