so, I ask you. if you had to write a report to scientifically prove something like ESP or remote viewing, how would you do it?
First thing in my report would be the human component. Not much of these types of phenomena happen without a human being as part of the process. We are the instrument, we are the tool, and often we have to describe subjective impressions to the satisfaction of a skeptical scientist.
The next part of my report would be to puncture the nonsense like the usual Amazing Randi argument (the million dollar prize to prove you can do anything), which has been done by others, and can simply be quoted. That whole process was a major fraud, and very damaging to actual science and study.
I would follow up these statements with the fuzzy hit and miss nature of ESP or Psi phenomena, and how the government had plenty of successful results during the many years of extensive and expensive experimentation, but bailed on it because they couldn't control it (make anything happen on demand, the way they wanted it to), and they couldn't weaponize it. They still consider anyone who can remote view with accuracy to be a National Security risk, as do many other countries. There are watch lists for this. The sheer number of positive results in remote viewing is enough to show it works, sporadically, and with some accuracy. The program also didn't end, but is now a multi-billion dollar contract with DARPA, where they are taking mind control to an electronic level, to include telepathy.
Then I would go into why ESP or Psi phenomena is naturally a hit and miss system, or fuzzy, with what we now know based on brain scans and other testing.
The example I love to use, is that many of the previous experiments would take a bunch of volunteer college students with zero skills, and test them for Psi, and end up with the results that are obvious, Psi doesn't exist because none of the volunteer students have any skill. Pretty dumb. In my example, none of the healthy people we scanned for diabetes had diabetes, therefore it doesn't exist, which is also just as stupid.
What we have are a decent number of people who experience Psi phenomena, but can't make it happen or control it. It just happens randomly and some find that disturbing and want it to stop, where others want to try to control it better. Some phenomena are also obviously hallucinations or delusions, so all subjective experiences without any evidence or any clear way to prove them become suspect. Everyone studying these subjects has to accept this and should stop just giving every experience a green light or say that the experience was real and actually happened. Many of these delusional experiences have ruined the funding for research, and clog up the actual study.
We have a small number of people who can control Psi phenomena, and make it happen. These people have methods or triggers for these events. Some of those methods involve altered states, whether the person experiencing it realizes that or not. An example is a Medium supplying correct information about a deceased person, while hooked up to a brain scan. Both those successful at dowsing and mediums share a strange dip in consciousness, almost like they fall asleep for a moment and come back with information. We see plenty of healers that are creating electromagnetic chirp signals at the target of the healing. We have studied lucid dreaming, OOBE's, NDE's, astral projection, and more using modern equipment, with some really interesting results. We can now cause an OOBE with an electrode to the side of the brain. We can watch telepathy happening as people in different rooms, hooked up to EEG's, start to synchronize brain waves, and the receiver is drawing recognizable shapes corresponding to what the sending person is looking at. Most of the time, we see right brain anomalies happening during these events, or drops in activity, like the person receiving has suspended activity in parts of the brain, not increasing it, or using some higher energy. So once again, slowing down, trance states, altered states. This often has zero to do with your waking conscious brain. We now see that the frontal lobes are acting as a filter or blocking system, and that by temporarily shutting them down, people can do psychokinesis.
These are facts, and there are a ton more of them out there, being squashed and silenced by a hateful and oppressive science cult that doesn't allow for it to exist. The Randi cult.
I would go on to explain the savant syndrome phenomena, where less brain equals interesting talents and skills. I would bring up the cases where accidents or brain anomalies have created super talented Psi people like Sean Harribance. I would bring up the talents of people like Edgar Cayce, who evaluated people from a distance, over and over, with people writing down what he said in trance.
I would bring up all the help supplied by people to help solve crimes for the police, FBI, and the US Government. Even President Carter smiled and admitted that the CIA used a psychic to locate a 'special' plane, that satellites failed to find, and that it was successful. There are also tons of these examples, while many of these same agencies refuse to accept that the facts they have gotten to solve these crimes are actually ESP in action.
So, the more we know about the phenomena, the more we can study the actual phenomena and stop just gawking at the results and acting like it must be some kind of trick.
The bottom line is that these are very special and talented human beings, and sometimes they are one-of-a-kind. Just because we can't repeat what they do, doesn't make it fiction. We can't replicate Einstein's brain either, but he did exist.
I would end it with the findings showing that events like these are increased after solar storms, when ungrounded electrical systems are in play, when we are exposed to very weak electromagnetic fields, when we are sensitive to these events, when our body chemistry is supporting the known required chemical states, and that we are finding possible genetic links to explain why some people are special and talented.
But, we have done this over and over, in a ton of books, seminars, and using other formats, and you still get scoffing belligerent assholes in charge that block funding and find excuses for burying any of the studies and results.
Then, you end up with a bunch of woo woo charlatans abusing the whole sector with fake seminars and fake books, charging small fortunes for feel good moments that have nothing to do with actual skills or training.
And, here we are, still stuck in the puritan nonsense era of blind science demanding that Psi and ESP dance to special requirements, instead of accepting it for what it is, and accepting that the human being is the instrument for measure as well as the tool, or the instrument. We can't magically make someone diabetic just for science to be satisfied, but we can supply science with the diabetic to study. At that point, they have to be content that it is a special situation, and can't be repeated on demand, or controlled by science, and the outcome isn't something you can set in stone or prepare for. It is never going to be perfect, and rarely always accurate, and even harder to produce on demand.
