Quand il pleut, il pleut
|
...I know of quite a well known physic who passed quite recently and wow at how many attended the funeral..(...this was pre Covid times..)...and how much they were respected and loved ...so many people have great belief in them...I guess it’s based on the same thing, though..we can’t generalise because some will ‘throw out’ as you say but that doesn’t for me dismiss something that they may be able to ‘harness’ in a way that most people can’t...

I'm not mocking, the vast majority of supernatural encounters with voices or a visual component are schizophrenia, and slow-leak carbon monoxide has been found to be responsible for the hallucinations associated with "supernatural encounters" on several occasions. It can also cause memory loss and paranoia.

Well just about every psychic have been caught cheating on loads of occasions .. just open up YouTube and search their name and cheating / debunking to see the clips .. James Randi is the guy to research if anyone is interested in all the cheats and scams .. he’s the guy who showed that Uri Gellar was a cheat - LIVE in American telly https://youtu.be/Kor_L12bBB0 Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro Last edited by Zizu; 30-09-2020 at 10:03 AM. |

Well yes that's because psychic powers aren't real, so the only difference between a psychic who hasn't been caught cheating and a psychic who has been caught cheating, is that the one who hasn't is better at cheating...

Don't get me wrong a lot of it is quite impressive and a lot of fun, but it's the same as any magician... it's psychological illusions and purely for entertainment. For me, as with magicians, the fun is in trying to figure out how the "trick" is done.

You know what, for someone that claims to want to be able to have free, open and amicable debates, you spend a lot of your time mocking and taking down to people for beliefs and opinions that don’t align with yours

Your accounts are really fascinating. As I said my mind was opened to things in my late teens. I wouldn't choose to even as I entered my teens mock others experiences. Sometimes I think those who dismiss it and all others experiences, possibly have a fear of it actually being real. Anyone having experiences of what even science and scientists cannot explain. Chemicals in the brain as someone's dying, well not all have that happen anyway Then in comes to the madness element of schizophrenia or other mental disorders being cited as reasoning by sceptics. With not a hint of any mental imbalance whatsoever of those who have had experiences. I think this a fascinating subject. Even moreso since I opened up my own mind more and listened to others. After the odd and unexplained things I've come across personally. Thank you for sharing your feelings and touching on your experiences. Full respect to you from myself. |

Oh come on there hasn’t been one even half decent photo or video of a ghost or UFO or whatever ... even though just about every human walking the planet now have a quality camera on their person . There’s a fund of ONE MILLION DOLLARS available in the USA ( it’s been on offer for 25 years ) .. for anyone who can prove - in scientific conditions - the existence of anything paranormal, ghostly , UFOs , levitation, mind reading , telekinesis etc It’s never had to pay out a single penny / cent .

This really.
I’ve had a couple of “spooky experiences” (one more comforting than spooky actually, made me cry) But I wouldn’t say I believe in “ghosts” exactly, just that energy can sort of stay around a place. I once had an EXTREMELY accurate and spooky reading from a medium once though. Was scary - names, descriptions, jobs, family nicknames that nobody else would know etc. |
