^^Not if i can help it! Telepathy might be real! We gotta find out! Some consultations with Yogi gurus might be in order. (Or perhaps the person i cite below).

Unicorns might be real. Leprechauns might be real. Santa might be real. Where do you draw the line and how do you determine where the line is?

Remember, the mind is a powerful and mysterious thing. If a person somehow possesses some capability to have electrical current flow between certain neurotransmitters, maybe their brain turns into a radio transmitter and receiver. Silly? Maybe. Maybe not.

Not. While electrical activity occurs within the brain, it simply lacks the power to be considered a transmitter in any way.

For a while there, i was repeatedly turning off street lights when i got near or under them. For some reason, it ceased.

You never did that. You simply thought you did.

I figured God was trying to awaken me to new horizons and gave up. So then instead, i been forced to stop for red lights like 80% of the time.

20% of the time you run red lights? Really?

The bottom line is....there are unseen forces out there. Some outside of us, but some might be within our own brain.

Yup. Gravity, the majority of the EM spectrum etc. All unseen. Yet scientifically explicable nonetheless.

Iamme said:
Tapping into my memory, it is coming back to me. I believe it was a Dr. Rupert Sheldrake at the University of Arizona that was affiliated with either the N`kisi project and or dogs and telepathy.
Wouldnt you say that some Ph.D. in the sciences would simply brush such a subject off as rubbish? Why didnt he? Is he a stupid Ph.D.? Gullible? Hopeful to be the first one ever to prove a woo? If you are bored, google him and his research and authorship.

Sheldrake is a crackpot.

Because John Edward`s title is that of psychic medium. A charlie horse is a pathological condition caused often by lack of enough electrolytes/fluids causing a muscle to cramp into a rock hard mass that hurts like the devil. Usually affects the calf of the leg. You can get similar in the bottom of your foot as well. Never had one?

Yes, but we call it cramp.

Well, pick one. Is it or is it not true?

It's difficult to tell without the full family history. If it's true, the family would have been moving south along the path of the A1 to Newark-on-Trent where he begins. It should be noted that Sheldrake rd is along that line. This makes it quite possible that he is in fact a direct descendant of the original Crackpot.

So Crackpot until evidence to the contrary is supplied.

Crackpottery is not genetic in origin.
 
His beliefs certainly are not mainstream. But can you prove that they are invalid?

You don't have it very clear who carries the burden of proof with a claim such as this, do you?

You have it backwards. It is up to Michel to provide evidence that he can do something, not for him to make a claim, and then say "prove I can't".

If I made a claim that I could levitate, but only in private in my bedroom and during a full moon, then provided blurry film of the event, and then said it is up to you to prove that I can't, what would your attitude be? Would YOU believe ME? Or would you want credible evidence. That is all we are asking for.

I have already provided a possible test for Michel earlier in this thread, using only his beloved numbers 1 - 4, as have others, and he refused to even comment on it, which really shows his commitment to continue with stupid on line Polls and not even try a genuine blinded test.

He is too scared of what it might show.

In what way was I not clear? abaddon in this thread made the explicit claim: "Sheldrake is a crackpot". It is abaddon's burden to prove that claim. Do you think the burden should somehow be reversed? That such claims should be accepted without proof?

Yup, Sheldrake really is a crackpot. Do you want me to embarrass you by using LMGTFY?

The crackpottery that Sheldrake espouses is as well known as the crackpottery espoused by Fetzer. Do you really want to paint yourself into that corner?

It's your claim, not mine.

You're probably talking about your post 313. However, your method requires a "trusted friend", and I have no trusted friend in the field of telepathy. Most people seem to be very reluctant to simply use their full potential in my telepathy tests. This is why my tests have become somewhat complicated, with credibility ratings (they are the result of a long evolution; at the beginning, I was doing tests with friends or relatives, or even physicians). Many people, on the other hand (in the tests) seem to be neither fully honest, nor completely dishonest (or, at least, that's what I think). I observe this in all languages, it is not specific of this forum. When you have a situation where many people are neither fully honest, nor completely dishonest, there is hope for a possibility of extracting the real telepathic effect (?) from the data. This is what I have tried to do in my three tests on this forum.

You could state this more simply. "Tests consistently demonstrate that I do not have telepathy, and better tests will just show this more convincingly."

Have you considered possible alternative explanations for their apparent reluctance?
Click to expand...
I am ready to consider any alternative theory, however, a mediocre insistance on this forum that I must probably have some chemical imbalance in my brain will probably not convince me, because I have received a fairly large number of testimonies telling me that I am "telepathic", even on this forum, for example this post (in addition to positive results of tests, countless apparent observations of telepathy, for example when car drivers, or even birds, make noises in a way which is apparently correlated with my thoughts). Those who cannot accept evidence for the telepathy of another person are those who may need pychiatric attention (in my opinion), unless of course they should be sent to jail for complicity in a crime.
 
Most people are very reluctant to change their beliefs. What appears to be dishonesty may be the visible ramification of their unwillingness to test or even question those beliefs.

I tried to point this out to you earlier using role reversal. Put yourself in their shoes, you have a strongly held belief, try to propose a test that has the potential to disprove that belief. Such an exercise turns out to be much more difficult than one would initially think.

Does this factor in ignoring the outcome and sifting data to my liking such as Michel has done?
