| In this article we are going to try to add a little | | | | forgettable coincidence, JUST because it can't be |
| dimension to the proverbial question of science and | | | | falsified scientifically? I say, absolutely not! |
| spirit..."is ESP real, or simply a figment of many BAD | | | | What the Research Says |
| imaginations?" My read on this is fairly simple...and | | | | You may not know it, but LOTS of scientists have |
| somewhat at odds with what many others on here | | | | studied the above. Lots of GOOD scientists, with |
| are preaching. Let's take another look at applying | | | | impeccable credentials, who are bright beyond all |
| some intellectual muscle to an exciting question of | | | | measure. The above scenario, for example, was the |
| potential, and possibility! Read on..:-) | | | | topic of the book "The Sense of Being Stared At" by |
| Science at a Crossroads | | | | famed UK biologist Rupert Sheldrake. Much the same |
| ESP and the variety of similar anomalous experiences | | | | way that we occasionally "feel" who is calling before |
| are decidedly INTERIOR phenomena and simply | | | | we answer the phone with incredible accuracy, |
| cannot be measured appropriately in a lab. If you feel | | | | Sheldrake found the sense of being looked at, EVEN |
| that someone is staring at you, for example...and feel | | | | from a distance, or from behind, is FAR more accurate |
| this quite decisively, and turn around and see that | | | | and ever-present than many of us recognize. |
| indeed, stranger's eyes are BURNING into your back, | | | | The Power is in the Potential |
| how do you quantify this? You can't. No lab is going to | | | | Our minds are far more powerful than we recognize, |
| replicate this finding with any degree of credibility, it | | | | with so many more layers to explore, we really have |
| almost seems even SILLY to try, right? But yet...you | | | | only the slender flame of a small candle to illuminate |
| felt the strength of the stare, you were compelled to | | | | that which we already know! But isn't that all part of |
| turn around, and low and behold...someone was indeed | | | | the excitement, and the power, and the potential of |
| intensely focused in your direction. A worthless, | | | | simply being? I know what I believe? What about you? |
