Skeptics and Left Brain Pitfall - Craig Weiler Lately, I’ve been devoting some energy and time to understanding skepticism.  There is clearly some sort of process failure going on in the minds of people who demonstrate such overwhelming resistance to psi phenomena because the behavior that they display is so completely at odds with their intelligence.  In fact, skeptics are typically very smart people, which makes their behavior all the more odd.  It’s called pseudo skepticism and there are common traits associated with it: Denying, when only doubt has been established Double standards in the application of criticism The tendency to discredit rather than investigate Presenting insufficient evidence or proof Assuming cri...

 I found this great article today called "Social Ghost Hunting" by Steve Parsons (2013) ( http:// www.silentvoices.org.uk/#/ social-ghost-hunting/4573058274 ) It succinctly put into words the workings of many modern day ghost hunting groups. Here is an excerpt, but I suggest you read the whole link -  "But what has this revolution in social done for ghost investigation? These days when someone decides to form a paranormal investigation group they rarely, if ever begin by researching and investigating some interesting haunted location as a group. No, they are much more likely to start off (once they come up with a name) by designing their Facebook page, setting up their YouTube channel and then their Twitter account. They announce to the World that they exist and beg for 'likes' or 'follows' in order to establish themselves in a World bursting with other paranormal teams all doing the same. This isn't in itself a bad thing because quite simply they...

Check out Chris Halton's blog about the ghostly goings on in London's Underground railway stations. Enjoy! http://hauntedearthghostvideos.blogspot.co.uk/2013/01/ghostly-stations-of-london-underground.html Here are a few of the stories - read the whole article at the above link. GHOSTLY STATIONS OF THE LONDON UNDERGROUND The now closed Strand Station on the London Underground The London Underground… over 50% of which is actually above ground… serves a large part of Greater London and neighbouring areas in Essex, Hertfordshire and Buckinghamshire. It is commonly known as the Underground or the Tube, the latter nick-name deriving from the shape of the system's deep-bore tunnels. It is not only the longest underground railway in the world by route length (over 250 miles) it is also the world’s oldest. The Metropolitan Railway Company opened its Metropolitan Line for business on 10th January 1863 and within months its trains were carrying over 26,000 passe...

http://truththeory.com/2012/11/02/confessions-of-a-precog/ Confessions of a Precog Articles Mystery — 02 November 2012 by Mark Heley Although acceptance of psychic phenomena has become much wider during the last twenty years in western society, some aspects of psychic experience are still either completely ignored, or inhabit a liminal zone at the margins of psychic study. Precognitive experience is one of these. One of the significant aspects of precognition that distinguishes from it from directed psychic activity is that is involuntary. Precognition happens to the precog. Normally, the experience is unsought and the recipient is passive. Experientially it feels like an awareness shift towards incoming data and images that are coming from ‘elsewhere’. For example, one of the more common forms of precog that I have experienced fairly often is the ‘just around the corner’ type of event such as ‘seeing’ a deer running o...

Although I believed my last post to be uncontroversial in any way it seems to have hit a nerve in some people. All I was doing was just stating what went down in a discussion that I had had with a client who had asked my advice. It wasnt me"venting" People come in and seek advice when they are in trouble - therefore when you give them asked for advice, as best you know how to, you would think that they would take that on board. My post was merely a reflection that some people will only take in the information that they want to - only if it fits in with their world view. Its like when people send me photos of orbs and ask me to verify them as ghosts or spirits and when I tell them that it is just lens flare or a reflection of some sort they get the shits and call me an idiot and that I dont know anything.If it only ended in that it would be ok.but why get nasty? Now again, the post wasnt a "vent" as to why this person did not listen to me.I do not believe that I...

Today I had a bit of a test sent to me via a client who came in seeking some advice..I must admit I didnt have my "nice ghost lady" hat on and in hindsight I could have been a little more gentle with this person but I had to dissolve a lot of fear from this person having dabbled in things that were totally inappropriate in their very sensitive state, having just suffered quite a major event in the ir life. I told it like I saw it and... as it wasnt very fluffy, sage filled and crystal encrusted it did not go down well. I was looked at as if I was stupid. Sometimes these things go beyond anything that sage can fix - vulnerable people need the truth and not be strung along. When they think that they cannot cope, its heavy duty fixing time which means that not only does it involve someone who can take the situation by the short and curly's but who can also inform the client that they will have to work on their own protection and psychological wellbeing so th...

Enjoy this new post - something to think about from a blog by Craig Weiler. Psychic ability is most prominent in people who are characterized as "right brained."  While there is certainly a bias against psychic ability, I have been slowly getting a bigger picture of what actually happens.  Yes, psychic ability makes people uncomfortable, but also creativity, inventiveness and innovative thinking.  This problem starts in school: Classrooms that stifle creativity Yet according to psychologists and education experts, schools do not promote, teach, or encourage divergent thinking. The experts warn that the education system today lacks the type of curricula, teaching, and structure that lets creativity flourish, and divergent thinking skills predominate. Sir Ken Robinson, PhD, and an internationally recognized leader in the development of creativity, innovation and human resources, states that rather than nurture and enhance creativity, the current educ...
