Extrasensory Perception – Can This Phenomena Be Manipulated?

Sadly there are still many professionals and other people who are sceptical of extrasensory perception. They misunderstand others who use ESP openly when mind reading or even expressing clairvoyant abilities. And clearly there is still a lack of knowledge and understanding in this field.

All humans have had an ESP experience some or other time and are really not an unfamiliar practice. We have all used the term such as I have a strong gut feeling, or my sixth sense tell me not to do this etc. The sixth sense is a natural warning “survival” mechanism. And believe it or not every living creature on the planet shares has this ability in one way or another.

Scientists have been trying to pinpoint the source of extrasensory perception even parapsychologists have been doing the ganzfeld experiment trying to provide hard evidence that ESP exists. Again scientists do not accept due to lack of a theory which would explain extrasensory perception as well as the lack of experimental techniques supplying reliable evidence.

Over the many centuries extrasensory perception has been well noted in cultures gone by as well modern day where these people had extraordinary powers or a sixth sense and because they voiced this ESP they were burned or drowned as well as being termed witches. It is still practiced in many indigenous tribal cultures today whereby communication with spirits as well as those that have passed on is very much alive and probably more accepted as the norm.

Later scientists started to devise experiments in order to test the extrasensory perception ability. A simple set of cards was designed and called Zener cards and later changed to ESP cards. These cards were designed with symbols such as squares, stars, circles, crosses as well as wavy lines which made up the full set and the pack of cards comprised of twenty five cards.

A methodology was devised in that the scientist or parapsychologist would shuffle the cards just to make sure there was no specified sequence and would then choose say five cards and look at them while the person in question would then have to tell the professional which cards they were holding in their hands. Professionals were still not convinced and later began using a dice as well and it turned out that both these methods proved better than chance. After many years of testing extrasensory perception became accepted still with some scepticism though then leading the professionals to start investigating as well as trying to understand the humans unconscious mental processes and personalities.

Further studies took place like REM sleep and meditation as well as hypnosis which in later years and more recent years has proved very effective. It was also noted that people that knew that extrasensory perception was factual scored well on the tests given to them as opposed to those sceptics and the two groups were categorized as the believer being sheep and the non believer being goats. This method is still used today.

In modern day this is now accepted as the norm and extrasensory perception is termed as parapsychology and making certain types of psychic phenomena such as astral projection and telepathy as well as telekinesis a standard phenomena accepted by science as well as these being accepted as spontaneous occurrences. It was also found that these experiences were not able to be controlled or replicated in any way.
