Excellent post.

My only quibble: Medicine isn't science, science is math, that's it. There are no "scientists", only experts in their field that want to experiment and measure things they are passionate about.

Science is a verb, not a noun. I know, soap box derby.

So, my oldest sister, a GP MD (remember those?) got the brain, the big brain...and was/is deeply troubled by those things she could not understand or analyze. We both saw, standing right beside each other at our ranch in California in 1972, mid day, a huge UFO, classic shape, unmistakable. It hovered, perhaps took in the ugliness that was the big brain, then skedaddled. she refused to admit she saw it.

My other sister, a lawyer and a DA (now retired) had avenues into things that I wanted no part of, still don't. I do not doubt the prospects, I am just not interested.

Quick Sea Story.

My sister and I go see Dick Gregory in Augusta, GA in 1976. I don't remember exactly where but the auditorium sat maybe 500 in an elevated semi circle. We are 15 rows up, center right.

15 minutes in he stops, looks at my sister and says something to the affect that she has the most expansive aura he has ever seen.

That was it, he went back to his set without another word.

Most recently I knew my daughter was carrying our granddaughter even before she had the courage to tell us she was pregnant.
I never understood why, I just learned to accept it.
Fascinating, you should give remote viewing a try.....check out the Monroe Institute. I find this stuff fascinating....deep rabbit holes to go down for sure.

I think this may be true. For our species to have survived for so long, it seems likely that some of us could have special abilities that might've contributed to that longevity. This could be especially true back in our deep dark past before formal scientific thinking ever came into play.

Take dowsing for instance. Because we're so dependent on water for our survival, it only makes sense that some random individuals in a population would have the ability to locate it in areas where it's not readily apparent.

Sometimes people are full of BS.

I was in a shop once and the girl behind the counter was talking quietly on the phone to her friend saying that she has just found out she is pregnant. The next day I was buying something from her and I said "I don't know if you know it yet, but you are pregnant." She said "OMG, I've only just found out, how did you know?" I said "I can tell by your eyes and you have an aura around you."

Not a believer of aura or any sort of after life

Been to other side and back, maybe I wasn't there for long enough or not been saintly enough but there was nothing there other than a calm blackness no different to having a good, sound, long, uninterrupted sleep

Dowsing...I was at a good friends house a long time ago, he says to me go break a forked branch off that peach tree....me, what why? he doesnt tell me anything just to do it and hold it a very specific way, then he says to walk across his yard still I dont know what he is up to didnt say why, so I start walking and the stick rotated straight down, he lets out a big hoot and laugh...says that is the site of a old well.

I had a guy come to the house with a excavitor to dig up and repair a water line, so I walk across my yard with my branch...and it pointed down and I told him to dig here...he refused so after a bit (I'm the one that is paying after all ) he reluctanty started and low and behold found the broken line, he still won't admit that it worked said I got lucky thats all

Dowsing works nobody knows why its been studied, I have showed others how, nonbelievers and after they just say that I tricked them

We have a inner knowledge that is not learned

Did anybody watch either of these?
Fascinating facts about the heart that I didn't know.

It's more than just a pump, it's a vortex generator.
Creates plasma, the 4th state of water.
Creates your personal EMF, aka your aura.


Fascinating.

I've been doing it since 1963 when an old plumber showed me when I was woeking in construction in New York. I've used metal rods, forked sticks, pendulums and some other things. I've also shown lots of other people how over the years and located the well locaton (40 gal./min.) when I built my house. I've used it for water, locating pipes, leach fields, buried electrical lines, etc., etc. I don't think it has anything to do with an aura. I think it has something to do with interaction with magnetic/electrical fields. It would be cool if it was an aura thing, but almost anybody can do it, so it must be associated (in my opinion) with some exterior influence.

When dowsing, we use rods cut from a coat hanger. Imagine two wire "7" shapes, held loosely by their stems. As you walk across the ground, the horizontal bars of the rods will come into alignment as you cross an underground stream and return to their original orientation as you move away again. Both the Missus and I can do it, as could our fathers. We used the method to find a source for our first well. We still use that well to water her gardens.
My father also used a fork of a willow branch. He said if you held it too tightly and crossed a large underground stream, the bark might be twisted off the wood, the pull was so strong.

Coat hangers work great. I've also used straighened, heavy gauge wire of different metals and was amazed it worked. I don't know about twisting the bark off the wood of a forked branch, but the pull can be defiinitely strong and related to the amount of water (in my opinion).

Google AI "princeton research emf brain"



Isn't this like borg behavior?
Heard about collective consciousness in monkeys, makes sense we have it too.
