Thanks Jose.
Nice pictures of a camera and an empty, what looks like a warehouse. You say it's being renovated? Looks like it's just a picture of an empty warehouse to me or its being demolished. Are they your company's cameras or did you just take some pictures from the net? We would have to trust you on that. Do we trust you? Hrm. You see the problem we have here? You present evidence to me ASSuming that it will be absolute proof of your success and continuation of your TV work. But there is nothing in the photos that would definitively prove that it is. It could all be written off as a failure just as easily. (The failed TV production company that has just had it's assets repossessed and studio stripped). What i'm getting at is you, who screams at me from your posts to provide "proof" and yet even when directed to where the "proof" lies and is easily accessible, fails to do so or at the very least does not accept that what's provided even constitutes proof. A bit like me saying that your pretty photos prove nothing to me as you could easily be making up your story and providing misleading photos to help back up your bogus claim.
Who are you and what do you do? On these forums you are a debunker of things paranormal a non believer and a denier. Is that what you do in public life? Do you make TV shows about debunking the paranormal?
The proof behind Psychics and psychic ability is that we are all psychic and all possess psychic ability. Being psychic is nothing special it is just part of being human, something we are all born with. Some call it a sixth sense. It comes in the form of quick intuitive flashes, a feeling that something is right or not right. A knowing. Like that friend you hadn't heard from in years suddenly rings you after you had just been thinking about them. The vivid dream you had last night that eerily comes true at some point later on. That gut feeling you have about somebody, whether they can be trusted or not and when it suddenly becomes true. These types of thing occur within all of us every day, to billions of people all over the world. Mostly the average person will experience these types of psychic occurrences even you Jose and Jeff. They just don't make a big deal out of it and go on with their lives. Sometimes you will find people who have a heightened awareness or sensitivity of their surroundings. Some may even be able to see things that the rest of us can't see or feel. These gifted individuals don't necessarily go on to become practicing "Madame X" at the carnival types or create huge media careers for themselves, they may never ever be heard of, but yet they exist and could be living right next door to you and you would never know. Not everyone wants to advertise. and yet there are some that do.
The names that i gave you, Edgar Cayce, Ingo Swann, Pat Price, Joe McMoneagle, Lyn Buchannan are good examples of verifiable psychics and Remote Viewing Practitioners. I don't know about Lyn but the 4 former have all been extensively and scientifically tested on numerous occasions and are well documented.
The point is Jose and Jeff, that evidence or proof can be provided on psychic ability and it comes in 3 forms as i see it.
1. Anecdotal Evidence
2. Scientific Tests or studies
3. First hand experience
All of these can be acceptable or non acceptable to the seeker, it just depends on your frame of mind or whether you believe or are WILLING to believe that any of it could be possible. A true sceptic is always open to the possibility and willing to search for the truth. It is just as easy to dismiss out of hand any or all of the above if you don't believe that any of it is possible and that is your choice. Just like i don't have to accept or believe that your production company (or whatever it is) is still functioning as you say it is, Jose. The photos on their own don't prove anything if i don't believe. As far as i know you could be a back yard abortionist who has lifted some pix off the net to show me.
And yes Jeff the general public are gullible, very much so and if they choose to spend their hard earned dosh on bogus psychics or watch shows with likes of James van Praagh or John Edward then there is bugger all anyone can do about it. Even if they have been exposed as frauds those people are as unlikely to accept that as the debunkers are likely to accept that psychics and psychic phenomena exist. They just exist as a counterpoint to each other, diametrically opposed yet strangely similar in their overall intensity to the subject.
Jeff you seem a bit more reasonable than Jose, a bit more of a true sceptic. Jose comes across as a typical debunker. Sorry Jose but your posts indicate that and are there for all to see. It was somewhat amusing to bait you and watch your posts become increasingly more hostile as time went on.(I appologise if that was a bit mean). But what the baiting did do is force you to present something that you know to be a truth. But as i have said the photos prove nothing. We would have to take your word for it that you are who you say you are or do what you say you do. They could all be lies. We may never know.
Fortunately i have seen your work on you tube.(at least i do SOME research,unlike you). So i know that it is more than possible that the pix and info you have provided may be correct.
Yeah, I usually go against Jose on the forums but I have to back him on this one. I've done research on psi and worked with self-proclaimed psychic's and found very little compelling evidence or corroboration with more technical techniques. "I feel a presence (or energy) :here:" but no temperature, ion, or EM fluctuation. Hit rates that I've seen for predicting future or past events have been less than random-chance levels. Of all the paranormal disciplines, I think psychic phenomena is the least credible. Ironically enough, however Pair of Cats brings up an interesting point; people pay millions of dollars every year to receive psychic advise or astrological guidance.
The trouble may be that you are working with the "self proclaimed types". It's not easy, i know, to find the truly gifted ones who can give you the absolute mind blowing results that are sometimes required to show proof to the doubtful, but hang in there, do your research, seek out the ones who can help you . You will find them (if you want to).
I'm not trying to change anyone's mind here. You both can believe what you want about the subject, that is your right.
