Telepathy is the communication between two minds via non-verbal
means. Clairvoyance is the ability to get visions of events taking
place elsewhere in the world. Telekinesis is the ability to move
objects remotely without physical intervention. Channeling is the
ability to mediate communication between the living and the dead.
And the list can go on. We can talk til we are blue in the face
about all the different kinds of abilities out there, and our
theories about how they work, but in the end, what are they?
Science has been looking in to psychic phenomena for decades, if not
centuries, and the general consensus is, that it's not real. The
primary reason for this is two fold, as I've found.
The first and likely most important is, reproducibility. Psychic
phenomena, like all supernatural phenomena that are tested here in
the west, commonly lack reliable means of being repeated again and
again, as science demands for proper testing. Until then, science
cannot accept something that could be chalked up to a fluke.
The second is establishing an acceptable theory behind these
phenomena. Currently, because of the brain being the center of our
attention in science; science looks to the brain and it's physical
components for areas that are dedicated to these phenomena. But no
physical area has been detected to be the source of either the
sending of receiving of these effects. So therefore if there is no
station in the brain to do it, it must not be actually occurring.
To put it another way, if it does not repeatedly adhere to their
physical theory of the world, then they wont accept it. But the
phenomena itself persists, digging into the sides of the scientists
who oppose it, until like good little soldiers they are, rise to
fight. They can't very well let something stand that might challenge
the status-quo, and with inquiring minds at their back demanding a
rebuttal, they default. It's the mind playing tricks on them, mental
illnesses and delusion, or their favorite when the odds are against
them, “It's chance!”.
As simple of an argument that it is, claiming it's chance, it does
sadly fit. After all, there is a lack of repeatability within
testing, so chance alone may account for the statistical hits and
misses. Although that is only when the bare and blunt results of
these tests are weighed. I could probably bash science, or more
accurately scientists; because it's not science itself that holds the
bias; all day for overlooking a set of real phenomena just because it
doesn't adhere to their standards. Even though quantum physics
doesn't either, but that doesn't challenge their beliefs in the world
as stringently. I wont though. Because the fault doesn't fall
completely on their shoulders.
Many try and train to acquire these abilities, and so they practice
and practice and practice. Trying to hone the sharpness of the
skill, refining it, polishing it. But when the time comes to call on
it, it's not always there. You end up feeling tired and worn out,
maybe even a little board, or perhaps nervous given the
circumstances, and it's not always there. Why is that?
I can only give you speculation at this point based on what I have
read regarding these tests, and the participants in them. There
seems to be two types of people that get tested for these abilities.
The haves, and the have nots. Far, far more people who are tested
are in the second category of the have nots, then the first. What
the haves have is not the ability to perform these supernatural
feats, where the have nots don't and think they do. What the have
nots actually lack, is the power. Energy might actually be a more
fitting word, though.
Like anything else you do, it requires fuel to perform. Now energy
in this sense is far more then mere fuel, but in this instance, we
will look at it as such. Most of those capable of repeatedly
performing these supernatural feats are chi masters. You know,
qigong, kung fu, tai chi, yin and yang, those sorts of masters?
Anyways, the other group is more of less the average joe who tries to
practice honing the skill, but neglects the fuel that powers it.
These masters train to not only hone the skill, but to store the
power, or energy needed to fuel it, within themselves. Because of
this, they not only have the skill to perform these miraculous feats,
but also the energy needed to accomplish them, so they get far more
consistent, and frankly impressive results.
Most who are interested in training for these psychic abilities are
invested in this new age movement, which over emphasizes the mind as
this end all be all thing, that requires nothing more than some
exercise in visualization to strengthen the ability. This exercise
may improve the vividness and accuracy of these phenomena, but it
doesn't improve the frequency or potency of them.
Telepathy, as an example, is information transference from one mind
to another. But what does this information ride on? What medium
does it use to get from point A to point B? Of course you know where
I am going with this, it's energy. When it comes down to these
abilities like telepathy or telekinesis, it's energy that powers
them. When trying to accomplish either of these two abilities, your
body will only use the excess energy that it has on hand to try and
do so, and unless pushed, which is dangerous, will not allow you to
exceed past this extra energy.
Most of your energy is dedicated to keeping your body healthy, so in
most cases, these abilities can only be achieved when extra energy is
acquired, and most people don't have an excess of energy. It is
because of this that you get the unpredictability of psychic or
supernatural phenomena under tests. They burn up the excess energy
over the first round of tests, leaving them empty and struggling to
reproduce results. Which also happens to look very bad for the
testers.
Again this is usually the opposite for energy masters, as most of
their efforts are spent not on training up these skills, although
they do, but on saving up mass amounts of energy. So they have
plenty of energy to work with for a while. The draw back is, they
put a great deal of effort into saving up this energy, like money in
a bank account, and therefore might have some reservations about
letting it go for what might be deemed as parlor tricks.
But to sum up, all psychic or supernatural phenomena require energy
to be performed or perceived, which explains why these testers aren't
consistently hitting high scores, and why psychic and supernatural
abilities aren't getting the appropriate attention they deserve. I
see a lot of people sitting down and trying to move objects to no
avail, and work with telepathy, or clairvoyance, etc. showing no
fruit for their labors because they believe that you need some
special practice or technique, while neglecting the most basic and
most important part.
Anyways, hope you enjoyed.
Later!
