She had a premonition of my great-grandfather's death. Where she would come out of the bedroom to find him reading the newspaper. However instead of seeing his body she saw a skeleton. She freaked out and ran to the back portch. There she saw the big oak tree cut down with a coffin on top of the stump. The next week, he died in a steel mill accident and the neighbors cut down the tree for their plants in their garden to grow. And they put his coffin during the funeral on the stump. | ||

Now, what is RV, you are probably wondering. If you don't want my brief explanation, you can go to http://www.learnrv.com/ thereafter, http://rvcommunity.net/ to practice and hone your skills, get direct feedback from the most professional team that exists. (Their B team guys have made national news worthy finds... A team makes about 100k each visit to vegas..) RV is well, the way I look at it these days. You learn how to direct your mind or your conscious mind towards a specific target whether it be anywhere in time or space. First, you may wonder what the difference between an RV student and a "natural psychic" or whatever you call them is.. the difference is RV uses a set process of collecting the information. We know how to identify what is good information and what is horseshit imagination etc. It's a filter more or less. In a team, we can be 100% accurate.. and I promise you, we are.. RV was a program developed by the military and it was used in every part of the government and all agencies you could possibly think of. Most would be astounded by the success it had.. but it means nothing until you have your own success. For me, my success was a result of locating my mother when she was kidnapped and lined up against a fence for people who were brutally executed. It was more than just a fun project or some random information gathering project. You can know anything. Literally. We do projects like stuff about the pyramids construction to verifying history, to even deciphering ancient languages that have not yet been decoded (one of my favorites). When I receive a little information about something above my clearance in the AF, I remote view it. That's exciting. If you have any questions, PM me. It could save a life. | ||

I would recommend you reading Derren Brown's book "Tricks of the Mind" where he discusses bad thinking and that psychic power indeed does not exist. Also, watch Derren Brown The Messiah on youtube, to watch him get sponsored by many psychic related firms despite not having any psychic abilities, or mind reading capabilities. Psychic powers and mind reading most likely do not exist. Also, coincidences are common, and understanding probability is vital before making claims that alternative energies were responsible for phenomenal events. | ||

Hopefully I can get around to reading "tricks of the mind" I'll definitely keep an eye out. Remote viewing I've come across on wikipedia and the stories there seemed to point to a failure. I'm watching but I'm still skeptical. | ||

There is a prize awarded for anyone who can prove they can do anything supernatural, psychics, dowsing and what not. If you can prove it in a scientific test with controls, you get a million dollars. Guess what? Noone actually won the prize despite the crapload of people applying. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Randi_Educational_Foundation#The_One_Million_Dollar_Paranormal_Challenge | ||

It's coincidence and conformation bias with bad probability, instead of thinking of the things that happened within your dreams, think about what didnt happen or how many ways they can be interpreted vaguely. Here is a nice video explaining this That was an amazing video. Were the clouds fake or formed by an airplane? I love how TL is being very rational about this subject. We're so smart... | ||

Know that I believe in coincidence and skepticism, I'm just wondering what the advantage is of writing these things off as coincidence at all times? Isn't that a form of delusion? I think the whole problem here is you're actively looking to find something remarkable. It's not a matter of 'believing in coincidence', it's the complete lack of controlled experimental evidence or reproducibility of these psychic claims, as well as no hypothetical mechanisms of their action that fit into the framework of evidence-based science. Maybe look into some more recent neuroscience and cognitive psychology publications (from this decade) so you can better understand the field you're trying to fit psychic phenomena into.  | ||

Maybe look into some more recent neuroscience and cognitive psychology publications (from this decade) so you can better understand the field you're trying to fit psychic phenomena into. My search on this website found me "grey matter" which is a series of lectures at university of san diego, i watched all of them and im subscribing to scientific mind america and honestly they are doing really really well with MRI's and stuff, but this is still very far from intersecting into psychology. As for coincidence, to be honest i don't really buy it, thats my personal philosophy though, I think every thing is connected and that the connections are soemtimes just hard to find. I didn't go out looking for these things to happen I started out just as skeptical as the rest of them, but recreational drugs really set me out of the "operating system" that is culture and i realized that so many things are being filtered right out because of mere culture. I just wanted some interesting discussion here, and for the most part i got it. I'm also thankful for the reality check, i admit I am getting a bit spacey, but who knows where it can lead. | ||

Could this possibly be the newly made moderator Rage showing off his prowess? Hi Rage I'm a huge skeptic, while I've had some weird stuff happen to me too. | ||

Noone actually won the prize despite the crapload of people applying. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Randi_Educational_Foundation#The_One_Million_Dollar_Paranormal_Challenge The challenge is not meant to be won. First, there was a group of cryptologists that did in fact solve a puzzle Randi said if it could be solved, then a million dollars would be awarded. The show was never aired and the couple never received compensation. His rules are extremely strict and not "anyone" can apply. You'll notice in his fine print for example, just anyone who has practiced any Tibetan monk practices is not allowed to participate. Not only this, but they do a prescreening test. You must be able to perform the feat to a point they will agree you deserve an opportunity to showcase it. This means if you are able to truly do it in the first show, chances are, you will not be on the actual "show" or be able to actually demonstrate it. If I find the time, I'll try to find it. There is a list of people who do amazing things whose applications were rejected. Some had the intentions of doing it just to donate the money to charity. | ||

Rolling an infinite number of die would not have a "very great probability" of writing the works of Shakespeare, it would happen an infinite number of times. No, there's a non-zero (but very close to zero) probability of an infinite number of rolls not writing the works of Shakespeare hence there is a "very great probability" of it happening once or more. | ||
