Logical Positivist
The most obvious para-psychological phenomenon,
which every person I have spoken to has experienced
which has no scientific explanation, is:
Knowing when somebody is looking at you from behind.
This suggests that my consciousness is fundamentally connected
to your consciousness, in a manner which is not at all explained
using normally understood sensory perception.
I would like the nay-sayers to try and explain this using materialist physics.
They cannot,
and yet I feel confident they have all experienced it.
This is the best example, but there are many other more profound examples.
The problem is, that in order to fully experience the power of the para-mind,
one first must clear out all the clutter such as materialist fixation, sin, bad karma, etc.
And yet the materialist will not clear out the garbage in their minds because
they do not believe that a clear mind brings para-phenomenon.
Of course they may try this a little bit some time, but become terrified
at the first shadows generated by the light of spirituality, then
they run back to stuffing their minds full of drink and flesh and food and money
to blot out their first raw feelings which they probably consider to be signs of
psychosis. Which they are, but they misconstrue the nature of what psychosis
actually is: fear. Most specifically, the fear generated by their own negative placebos.
So basically they want their cake and eat it too.
Its like trying to teach somebody to swim,
they are terrified of drowning, and this terror actually stops them
from making the calm relaxed strokes required for swimming.
So instead they thrash around madly which causes them to drown.
Their own fear reaffirming itself.
