You see things; and you say “Why?” But I dream things that never were; and I say “Why not?”
George Bernard Shaw
Alan Joshua (pen name) is a psychologist. He has published many nonfiction journal articles. The Shiva Syndrome Trilogy, his debut fiction novel, is a science fiction/paranormal mystery and thriller.
Always curious about the unknowns of human experience, he is fascinated with creativity and paranormal abilities. This led to his involvement with Psychology and research into Parapsychology.
He has explored paranormal abilities using hypnosis and, in his research, in-depth interviewing of a wide range of paranormal practitioners. Among his prized possessions are a shriveled, mummified banana (a product of one healer’s biopsychokinesis) and a small, curled Austrian teaspoon produced by a German healer while six people sat around him.

The Shiva Syndrome Trilogy incorporates his knowledge of Parapsychology and experiences with healers, intuitives, “psychic” sensitives, etc.
He is a science fiction fan, influenced by such writers as Asimov, Bradbury, Crichton, Heinlein, Serling, and Phillip Dick.
An avid Star Trek fan and unlike Gene Roddenberry, he believes that human consciousness and its potentials are “the final frontier.” Among the many eminent believers in the paranormal, Nobel Prize winner Brian Josephson, a physicist, studied the interconnections between the brain and the paranormal world for over 40 years. He claims that quantum entanglement leaves open the possibility of consciousness affecting the physical universe through telepathy, psychokinesis, and transcendental meditation. The Shiva Syndrome Trilogy is loosely based on the theories of Josephson, Carl Jung, Wolfgang Pauli, and other scientists who accept the reality of consciousness and its impact on the paranormal.weniger sehen
