There is a wealth of science fiction writers out there who are really trying to experiment with different styles and entertain enlightening concepts. The short story ‘Tick Tock’, published in Issue #152 of Clarkesworld Magazine, first presents itself as a straight forward tale about an unnamed character who interacts and manipulates simulated ‘stories’ which he experiences through a quasi-dream state or digitized-projection of his real self. Yet the further you progress, it becomes more and more of a rabbit hole plunge that delves into the nature of virtual or ‘realised’ realities, deep-dive perceptions that  ‘incept’ from dream state to deeper conscious states, and that highest form of creativity: imagination.

Some of the best stories don’t just articulate living characters well or paint a vivid environment: they get you asking questions about the nature of our own reality and the structure of the universe. To read more about the review, head over to SFFWorld: Short Story Review 'Tick Tock.'

 “Based on a substantial body of experimental
evidence, we can state with a high degree
of confidence that real magic exists”
– Prof. Dean Radin, Chief Scientist of the
Institute of Noetic Sciences

 
The nature of reality extends beyond the physical world.  But what if there’s a greater cosmic truth, what has been alluded to in secret and sacred histories and has been described by many writers such as Jonathan Black – a world of knowledge, practices and extraordinary abilities that have been kept alive through ages by ritualized religion, psychic mediumship and direct mystical experiences? 

​
In Real Magic, Prof. Dean Radin explores magic from an evidence-based scientific perspective. His chief concern is the investigation of psychic phenomena (psi), the study of which comes under the discipline of parapsychology. ​As Nikola Tesla famously said on the subject: ​“The day science begins to study non-physical phenomena, it will make more progress in one decade than in all the previous centuries of its existence.”
