Extrasensory Perception - Can This Phenomena Be Manipulated?

By Amil Kahn

Many still today are debating the reality of extrasensory perception. Extrasensory perception is misinterpreted as some people do not understand it. Many just dismiss it without doing any research for themselves, blindly adhering to the 'scientific' or 'religious' views. With extrasensory perception, all that really happens is that the deep subconscious relays unconscious information.

It is understandable that extrasensory perception is difficult to accept if one has not recognized the experience for themselves. Although this is a totally natural experience that all people have some or other time especially when they state clearly that they have a hunch about going there or their sixth sense tells them not to trust someone etc. This is definitely not mind control as well as the mind is not been controlled by a second party.

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.

Within many ancient cultures as well as indigenous people extrasensory perceptions has been noted as common practice and still exists in modern day times whereby there is communication with their ancestors as well as spirits and these people have been termed as having the second sight which in ancient times were termed witches and were persecuted or burned.

Much later did scientists as well as many other professionals begin to devise solid techniques such as designing cards that has significant symbols like squares, circles, stars, waves, crosses and circle patterns on then and made up a pack of twenty five cards called Zener Cards?

The test ran as follows whereby the psychologist or researcher would look as say 4 cards, and the person being tested would in turn tell the researcher what cards they had in their hand. The cards were shuffled by hand as well as a machine to make sure there was no specified order in which the cards were laid out. Later a dice was also used, and both methods proved better than chance. Eventually after many years of research extrasensory perception became accepted. This then led scientists to start investigating into the unconscious mental processes which would eventually lead them to understanding the human personality.

Those that were extremely aware of extrasensory perception and believed it existed took the card and dice tests and produced very high scores as opposed to those that were bordering on the sceptical side of things. The professionals then categorized their findings into two sections as follows - believers were defined as sheep and those that did not believe as goats. Today this test is still applied by the professionals and is known as the sheep-goat test. Meditation and REM sleep were also used giving more solid theoretical results.

Nowadays extrasensory perception is widely accepted by professionals as well as most people accepting ESP as factual. This now falls under the auspices termed parapsychology with sub categories of psychic phenomena termed as telepathy, astral projection, as well as telekinesis and this phenomena is accepted as standard by nearly all professionals as a natural and spontaneous occurrence. They also discovered that ESP cannot be controlled or repeated in any way.
