When it comes to personal beliefs there really is no need to give tangible evidence. Especially when communicating with people who only have a mechanical contemporary Western perspective to go off.

I’ve never understood the inherent hostile to alternative beliefs some people have. Why is it so hard for personal beliefs to be accepted without having to present it as a scientific argument?

I suppose when it comes to psychics, they can be harmful to people or used to manipulate people. Also if you start a thread about a topic people are going to give you their opinions as well

Which I’m not against receiving. I just wanted to keep a modicum of respectfulness about it on both sides. That’s all.

Interested to hear more about these 'non-Western' cultures that have 'for sure' seen stranger things than fortune telling
I know in rural communities in Africa and Asia that belief in witchcraft is quite strong if that's what you mean? |

No one has been disrespectful though that I can see. There is nothing wrong with questioning things, its how people learn and expand their knowledge.

Yup. And all those collective communities are half of the world.

Until you’ve got first-hand experience dealing with different cultures you won’t know.

You need to explain more about your first hand experience. Otherwise it just seems like you've made this thread to say you know more than anyone else and anyone who questions it doesn't know **** because you know more. You've not really added anything to it other than ask for respect passive aggressively whilst adding no substance

Where I’m coming from has nothing to do with you. Nor is it necessary for my peace of mind that you understand me.

Quand il pleut, il pleut

...I’m just reading that around a quarter of the world population believe that people have psychic abilities, which is quite a staggering amount...I do believe that we all would have...(..potentially and in a level world, type thing..)...the same power of ‘control’ over our minds...when you say, different world cultures etc, Redway...?...people like the Shaolin monks, for instance...?...they train through their lives, through their very disciplined and focused lives to ‘harness’ that power and that focus, which I’ve always found fascinating...do they have any ‘special powers’ over anyone else..?....hmmmm, it’s my own belief that they don’t as such/they’re not ‘born that way’... they just have a lifestyle/belief system/culture that ‘facilitates’ more because their minds and thought processes are given ‘confinement and isolation’ from the distraction of other outside worldly things...they devote their lives purely to their minds and thoughts, I would say...their minds aren’t distracted with the things that so many ‘ordinary’ minds are...obviously they’re not ‘ordinary minds’ they’re just very busy minds with so many different layers of thoughts...so to be able to live ‘layer free’ from those every day things that most of us have and to be be able to be more single focused, is more a ‘culture or tradition’ type thing that can only be practised by a few because of specific circumstances ....and also, when there is a culture of a more ‘simple life’ as within a smaller tribal system...?...I would say that also allows more for isolating and harnessing thoughts and therefore would be more powerful over the mind’ ...which would also be a path leading to things like a feeling of psychic ability.../...all fascinating anyway....
...oh the thing with Shaolin monks as well, just because they popped into my head for some reason...(...I would say...)...that ‘Shaolin’ would be instilled in that person, that they were indeed ‘special’ in their potential ‘mind powers’...and I think that could also apply in some cases of ‘psychic’ as well...if the mind believes it is, then it is in its belief...?...and many personal thoughts etc will be adapted and fitted around that self belief...?...not necessarily in a conscious minded way... |

...and then there’s the Barnum/showman effect as well, so all very interesting in ‘psychic’...

I shared those views. I just didn't elaborate on them and that's fine.
