His websites are , , and @Schwartzreportnet In this video, rebooted from 2019, he suggests that recent developments in science, particularly parapsychology and neuroscience, provide new insights into the processes by which religions are formed and maintained. He discusses this in terms of healing research, research on meditation, presentiment research, and studies of targets in remote viewing. He also draws implications from this research for our understanding of political processes. He suggests that we should examine the empirical process within religions as well as the role of dogmas in science.
