Marilyn Schlitz - Does ESP Make Sense?

Parapsychologists are sure ESP is real. Skeptics are sure it is not. But if ESP is real, must explaining ESP go beyond physical laws, into unknown non-physical realms?

[jamesruscheinski]

Is there an observer issue when dealing with ESP?

[infovy]

I'm very dubious about the reality this kind of phenomena myself, but it's great that evidence is being looked for properly.

I would be interested to see what major difference in reading strength there would be between observing through a TV screen solely or a transparent glass in another room...
Psychics with tangible ground, would be great for testing...

[jamesruscheinski]

While subjective awareness consciously derived from biological brain, connects / interacts with immaterial subconscious. Could be varying degrees of conscious - subconscious interaction during dreamlike states.

If ESP were real, wouldnt we all just know it? i mean we would be sending and receiving messages all the time, it would be as much a part of the human experience as hearing, sight or smell.

Interesting insight into the scientific process.

[moviestar]

My form of telepathy makes most sense it's just talking mentally. I don't know about mind reading or hypnoses even. To me mind reading is not really communicating, seeing what others are seeing or knowing/feeling what's in someones else's mind. Thought transmission is treu telepathy.

[jamesruscheinski]

Difficult to be objective with subjective awareness involved.

All those ESP experiments are very, very slow. Many things can change from a moment experiment is conceived in researchers mind and interpreted as some result.
What could change mater at a distance just by thinking about it, somehow all energy potentials must rearrange in some fluid form, projecting some coherent flow of time in all conscious creature. This is how real ESP should look like, definitely not instant miracles.
Force of mind is very weak, structured energy almost can't penetrate body form, but imagine mind can shape substance of nothing, where even weakest thought might be the only force around and can arise as shape in chaos.

Lawrence - how come you are not jumping out of your chair with this????

You have long expressed disbelief/skepticism about the existence of ESP, and, if what Marilyn is describing it true, there are two possible scientific responses:

first, insist on additional corroboration, further experiments, etc.

or, second - take this as proof that ESP exists.

ESP Bypasses the senses so cannot make sense. If we discover a 6th sense ESP will make sense.... The clue's in the term.

do not trust her because she always says 'we found' not i found

Earnings to Stock Percent is hard to get your head around but once you study hard enough, it'll make sense. Some of us learn at our own pace.

I think all these experiences arent necessary..you all shld come to africa to experiment on esp nd voodoo

[robertlee]

Dr. Kuhn is brilliant obviously... and has earned my deepest respect. I would gladly welcome his critiques of my somewhat original hypotheses about multiple topics.

[twirlipofthemists]

Why try to explain an effect you can't detect?

ESP ought to be the easiest thing in the world to prove. Right?

[ronjohnson]

SO, GOD IS ALWAYS LOOKING AT EVERYONE OF US. MEANS .... WE SHOULD ALWAYS CHOOSE... SOMEONE IS LOOKING AT US. THERE SHOULD NEVER BE ANYTHING LESS THAN 100% ACCURACY.
