"Faith Based" discussion? What kind of discussion is that?

I communicate with dead people sometimes, although the communication only goes one way.

A religious one.

I have no evidence and no proof. I didn't make this thread to make people believe. Only to compare and share my experiences with other members.

I feel no need to justify myself. But your welcome to list anything that you've done in regards to the paranormal.

Just-me, you are a great person, and this is a very harsh forum to post in. When you post in this forum you have to be ready for people to question everything you say, even if you dont want it. So people are going to question no matter what.

Anyway, I dont care what people think of me, so I will jump in and tell everyone that dead people communicate with me. I am not religious and I try to follow this from a scientific standpoint. The only way I can make people believe is to have the dead communicate with them. While ghost hunting, it is something I feel, and see. If you where to see objects moving around a room, or things being thrown, or unexplained things happening, I think people wouldnt second guess them self what they seen. I have been to some of the most "haunted" places in america, and can prove it to myself and maybe some lucky people with me. Unfortantly, you take a video, pic, recording, whatever and people just say it is fake. It is only something that the people who have experienced truly believe. Everyone can laugh at me, it dont care what they think.

Do you remember when you were very young ? Do you ever remember thinking in thoughts and not words? Well that's how animals communicate.

...I don't like to believe in telepathy, because I don't know what to make of it... and I would a whole lot rather give all my time to my muckraking...I don't expect to sell especially large quantities of this book... In short, there isn't a thing in the world that leads me to this act, except the conviction which has been forced upon me that telepathy is real...--p. 229

Upton Sinclair took a gamble publishing this book. A lifelong Socialist who ran for high office several times, a muckraking author who had exposed the abuses of capitalism, was dabbling with what was seen as the occult. The impetus for this was his dear wife, Mary Craig Sinclair, known as 'Craig,' who had been aware all her life that she could sense things that had not yet happened, or which she had no rational access to. In the late 1920s, this came to light when Craig had an odd feeling that their friend Jack London was in mental turmoil, just prior to London's suicide. The Sinclairs started to investigate how deep this particular rabbit hole went...

The core of this book is a series of doodles which Upton and others made outside Craig's presence, which she was able to duplicate, apparently telepathically or through clairvoyance. Sinclair claims that Craig had over a 75% success rate over 290 tests, including 25% matches, and 50% partial matches. This success rate is obviously a lot higher than probability, considering that the potential set of drawings is a lot larger than, say, a deck of cards.

Sinclair's top reputation as a 'speaker of truth to power' was actually a compelling reason to take this book seriously. The response to Mental Radio was very positive, impressing academics in the field of psychology and other scientists, including Albert Einstein, who wrote the introduction to the German edition. William McDougal, Chair of the Psychology Department at Duke University, who wrote the introduction for this edition, conducted his own experiments with Craig. McDougal and J.B. Rhine later went on to found the Parapsychology Laboratory at Duke, which conducted the first academic investigations of ESP. Walter Franklin Price, founder of the Boston Society for Psychical Research, asked the Sinclairs if he could analyze their research notes. In April 1932, Price published an analysis of the Sinclair experiments in the Society's Bulletin in which he concluded that the data could not be explained by coincidence or fraud.

Production notes: In order to effectively display the large number of images in this book, I've embedded the images in each file, rather than thumbnailing them as usual. This is possible because these images are monochrome line drawings and smaller than an equivalent grey-scale file. However, be aware that some of these chapters may take awhile to load on a slow Internet connection.--J.B. Hare, May 15, 2008.

Whatever Sand...Einstein, Sinclair, Jung, and Freud are all part of this sect of lower intelligent/delusional people right? I'm sure.

Some of the descriptions posted here appear to be delusions to one, such as myself, whose whole experiences record no paranormal effects and who finds scientific explanations are quite adequate for everything I have experienced. The field of paranormality is replete with fakery and with people with psychological problems and challenges such as that put out by James Randi have never been successfully accepted. Nevertheless science has frequently had to make major changes in its paradigms and phenomena, such as entangled particles, indicate there is much in the universe that is still poorly understood. People of good intelligence frequently indicate a belief in religious dogma that has no basis in current understanding and time itself which presents each of us with a sense of being in a present moment which continuously changes is frequently relegated to delusion by science even though this is the hardest reality to each of us. I am extremely suspicious of accounts of paranormal phenomena, as I am by accounts of flying saucers but there is always the very slim chance that something I can accept as real has occurred and that almost negligible possibility I always leave open.
