What is your take (or give for that matter) on the whole extrasensory gig? Does it really exist? Is it really “out there”?
Is clairvoyance such a supernatural thing after all – or an authentic human evolutionary step?
A phenomenal leap into the extraordinary – or the ultimate smoke and mirrors con-job?Please feel free to… expand :P

27 September, 2008 at 1:26 pm #376063Im an open-minded sceptic… Id love to find proof.
Its not enough for me to have a “medium” tell me I have a lilac tree in the garden, and my grandad was a tall gentleman.
And yes I believe there are great mediums out there, but Derron Brown has shown how easy it is to fool people, without an inch of psychic ability!27 September, 2008 at 3:18 pm #376064Ummm…Maybe
27 September, 2008 at 3:41 pm #376065I dont belive all these doris’s reading palm’s and staring into crystal balls but i think i belive in that thing where twin’s know what’s happening to the other one.
27 September, 2008 at 3:49 pm #376066According to essayist and author Edward Abbey, ‘Belief in the supernatural reflects a failure of the imagination’ which I think says more about his own lack of same, than of anything else. The faithless, soulless and senseless would doubtless agree with him, but then they too have neither the imagination nor the ability to comprehend that there are greater powers beyond our own..whoever, whatever and howsoever they may be.
These same soulless insentient beings go happily about ther business on a little planet spinning on its axis, pulled and drawn by moon and sun and mercury; whirling in a vast maw, an infinite blackness dotted with zillions of stars – without questioning the extraordinary phantasmagorialness of it all, and within this phantasmagorial context, unable to envisage that nothing is beyond imagination, all and every super and natural thing is possible.
Damn the confines of our silly little badly evolved brains.
I started with a quote and shall end with one from 19th century novelist Amelia Barr, which best sums it up for me: ‘Whatever the scientists may say, if we take the supernatural out of life, we leave only the unnatural.’27 September, 2008 at 8:37 pm #376067@chickenman wrote:
