i do believe that everything in the world is energy, (energy is matter, after all, and everything is just energy and matter interchanging), and that it can behave in unexpected ways because we're still kinda stupid and don't know all the details.
i can see no evidence to support the idea that we can read minds or see the future. declaring something seemingly simple like "i can see the future" comes with a lot more; you're automatically assuming, therefore, that all of history and and future events exist somewhere on some kind of observable continuum and that a person has some kind of special access to it. then you have to build a framework around the theory to support this, and before you know it you've left the realm of reality and have written a science fiction novel

all evidence i've ever run across in favor of this sort of thing was strictly anecdotal and has never been proven in any of the millions of tests done under valid scientific conditions and processes
- yup... you're a realist/rationalistmonospaced
- realists would experiment critically rather than come to conclusions based on a handful of anecdotal evidenceDodecahedron
- you should watch through the worm hole because there is a lot of real research in this areaDodecahedron
- one of my favorite shows, and I also recommended it a few posts up.monospaced
- yeah and I just realized that was the same show that mentioned the Global Conciousness Project that I was talking about aboveDodecahedron

- Take ages over it.
What does that mean...KwonTuhm - I mean, like, make sure it's all correct. Then we'll understand. Should probably go over it a few times, couple of months, tops.mikotondria3

- Considering 90% of human existence had already passed by 10000bc, AND chimps are not human ancestors, I think no.mikotondria3
- Apart from that, excellently hilarious :), someone is at least partially aware of Terence McKenna, rip.mikotondria3

Some people have excellent subconscious pattern recognition abilities.... i.e. they can "predict" the future based on an insanely close awareness of what they've seen somebody do before...
- my GF can easily predict what some of her friends will do..... uh huh.... like magic...vaxorcist
- thats just pattern recognition.VikingKingEleven
- that's .... uh... what I said and predicted in the text to the left....vaxorcist

Are you all just lifting quotes from Carlos Santana interviews?

open to the idea. however remain very skeptical. Wont rule out possibilities but believe the possibilities once understand make a lot more sense. Just wiring and perception. Figure its in the realm of when you hit snooze u can lucidly dream and perceive you slept for much longer time than what actually passed. Time didnt move slower jsut how u were able to perceive it. Just drop a bunch of acid.
- deathboy0
haha perception and ones own reality

my auntie is a tarot card reader, and i cant count the amount have things she has predicted.
the most recent being 1 month ago when doing my mums cards, she said that i hombre will be getting some money soon, and 3 days later i got a cheque for a tax rebate. she also predicted me going away on holiday but not being able to go (lost my passport) and many more!
So yeh i suppose i believe it completely and i would consider myself scientific and non religious.
- So your auntie knows most people receive money on a regular basis and that you're a sloppy. Impressive.Sep
- i could go on Sep, but i have no need to convince a worthless peon.Hombre_Lobo
- So now I'm "a worthless peon" for being sceptic about your auntie's paranormal abilities? Nice.Sep
- the holiday one she just stole your passport because shes a jerk like thatanimatedgif
- lol animatedgif.
dont take it personally sep, im only joking, i dont have anything against you :)Hombre_Lobo - Don't worry. The cards already told me that you love me.Sep
