  5. On the paranormal tip.... on Virtual Worlds and ESP · · Score: 1

    I have been on several 'ghost hunts' for a show I was editing. I witnessed first hand communication with a being. It was a very bizarre but real experience I shared with several other people. We all were amazed and didn't have any way of explaining it, it just happened. We documented it and have shown it to a bunch of our friends and family. It is always interesting to see their reactions and explanations for what they see. Most feel their is some sort of cheating involved. Now I spent a week with this Paranormal Specialist "Patty Starr", going on numerous hunts for this show. Now she is a very dedicated person and very adamant about achieving natural experiences. She is very against trying to plant or fake a paranormal activity. This communication took place the first day. We had no more experiences for three days. Now if you were a selfish person like a fortune teller, you would be looking for every chance to make something happen. Patty though was just as satisfied with receiving no results as achieving them. She even would battle abnormal activity on some of the video and pictures we took claiming it was dust or a bug flying because she knew what the actual paranormal instances look like and the properties they have. Being that I experienced several paranormal situations with her I fully believe in the concept. It is hard to explain to people but I can usually counter the people who look for instances of cheating or foul play in the footage we produced. For those who have never seen this first hand it is hard to process it I was totally skeptical at first. if you would like to see the episode we produced you can check it out at: http://vids.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=vids. individual&videoID=816078312&n=2 - On Myspace (please use this link to not eat up my bandwidth) or http://www.mrsorensen.com/ (under editor/under videos, hit next, it's the second video)

    A friend of mine believes that when you dream you are in fact traveling to another 'instance' of you self in a parallel universe. Ever die in a dream, or wake up just before you do? Maybe that other version of yourself did in fact perish. Just a thought.

    In early civilization some tribes claimed to see centurions (half-men/half-horse) when they were really just human on horseback. To someone who has never seen something like this before can only explain it as much as his intelligence permits. Also the 'telephone game' comes into play here, where everyone that he tells the story to will pass it on in their own way. By the time it reaches the 10 generation of the story it is totally different than the original idea. This happens due to the difference in the individuals intelligence and memory that pass the information. This has happened throughout time when foreign objects are introduced to a mass of people that can't fathom the possibility of such a reality. The world was flat a long time.

  10. Reading minds.... on Virtual Worlds and ESP · · Score: 1

    Maybe it's just me but I think the longer people interact with each other they develop a 'connection'. Like the energy between people become shared kind of like soul-networking. When this builds they become more in-tune with each others psyche. Like when one person thinks of something totally obscure but may not express it out loud for whatever reason then immediately another person would openly express the same obscure thought, leaving the first person boggled and saying "I was just thinking that!" and a bit upset they didn't say it first. Also instances of thinking about someone, either a good friend or someone you haven't seen in a while, then they call you in a matter of seconds. I have had many discussions about this and most people like to go the "coincidence" route. I feel this is because people are scared of it being true. There are plenty theories like the String Theory that talk about everyone being connected to each other and the earth and that one day we will be able to physically "see" these connections. When this happens supposedly the people who can't fathom this possibility (the coincidence crowd) will freak out and die (I guess by heart-attack, suicide or something) leaving just the "in-tune" to appreciate the new experience. I feel that a lot of people are against the possibility because it opens up the door to shared thought. Which like some posters here mentioned could be a great advantage to humanity, such as in hunting situations where you don't have to signal or talk to convey the position of yourself or prey to others in your pack. Even bigger than that I feel that the productivity level of people would be greatly enhanced. Say there was no more need for numerous BS office e-mails because you could convey an idea to a coworker mentally. Now here is where the understandable fear comes into play. How do you control this thought sharing process? How do I know I wont convey personal thoughts to others? Or have someone read my mind when I don't want them to, mental hacking lets say. Well my opinion in a perfect world there shouldn't be any negative thought. Hatred, prejudice or jealously that would provoke negative thought. There is such a protection of privacy and personal space in this society based on fear. Fear of people knowing the true you maybe due to fear of being ridiculed for it. If the constraints of society were lifted and the ability to love each other equally was possible, people would be wise enough to look past or ignore the 'faults' of another person and instead teach them a way to overcome or adapt to this 'fault' by ways of experience. Reach one, teach one. Most like to hold onto their knowledge as an advantage over others. Everyone striving to become successful and rich to be able to enjoy life fully. If we all could teach each other what we knew the evolution of things could increase rapidly but who would give all their knowledge away without some kind of compensation, especially financial. Well you would be compensated, by others who hold knowledge you don't. But then again WTF do I know?
