We are glad to welcome you to the blog! People tend to believe in miracles, it gives a little hope that their life can suddenly change, that they will turn out to be unique and special. Not like the rest. Why many believe that there are those who can read thoughts, transmit them at a distance. Or maybe even connect to the cosmic mind and get answers to any questions of interest. Control the weather, foresee the future, communicate with spirits and so on. And today we will try to investigate whether these extrasensory abilities really exist, and the people who possess them?
Incompatibility of worldviews
Let’s start with the fact that each of us has a different way of thinking. That is, the right hemisphere of the brain is responsible for our creative part of the personality. The ability to fantasize, recognize the emotions of other people, manifested through facial expressions, gestures, postures. This is sensuality and even intuition, which is called the sixth sense. And the left hemisphere is the ability to create logical connections.
Individuals who have developed this particular part of the brain are well versed in the world of numbers and facts. They do not understand jokes, taking them literally. But they quickly learn foreign languages and know how to correctly build sentences.
So, the perception of the surrounding reality in these two types is completely different. Even if they find themselves in the same situation, each will draw conclusions about it so dissimilar that it may seem as if they did not intersect at all. This is why misunderstandings sometimes arise. And controversy over the existence of psychic abilities.
Right Hemisphere
Creative individuals listen to their feelings, they pay great attention to what is happening around them. That is, they notice some signs, messages. They may even have a dream that will come true in the near future. Most likely, not because they have established a connection with the cosmos, but because of their sensitivity.
The subconscious sometimes gives us clues, but not everyone is able to notice and recognize them. For example, a woman understands that her partner does not suit her at all and does not pull on the role of a life partner. But for some reason, he doesn’t want to admit it. Why does he try to ignore his own thoughts and feelings. Continuing to be in a destructive relationship. At such a moment, she may have a dream in which her subconscious will try to reach out to consciousness. So to speak, open your eyes to what is happening. And then she will consider that she is special, and that she has prophetic dreams.
Left hemisphere
A person with a more developed left hemisphere needs proof. Conclusions that can be easily recorded and explained in scientific language. Here, for example, how can they believe in the sixth sense, if it is impossible to touch or see it? Where is the organ responsible for intuition located? What is its structure and main functions?
Facts
To assert that a person has psychic abilities, or vice versa, to prove that this is impossible — I will not. I will simply list the facts and real stories of people, and everyone will draw conclusions for themselves.
James Randy
In 1996, the illusionist and skeptic James Randi decided to organize the James Randi Educational Foundation, dedicated to exposing all sorts of mystical and paranormal phenomena. Whoever can prove psychic ability will win a $1 million prize. During the year, about 50 people try to pass the test. But every attempt is unsuccessful.
Randy manages to discover the tricks and tricks that the participants «resort» to in time. So to this day, not a single person has received such a significant amount. Although they had every chance, as they declared that they could read minds, talk with the spirits of the dead and influence the minds of others. These skills would surely help you successfully pass the test and get rich.
Natalya Bekhtereva
Natalia, as an academician, has won the recognition and respect of the whole world. She studied the activity of the brain. So, like no one else, she understood about all its nuances, limitations and opportunities. As a research assistant, she was also skeptical of people who considered themselves psychics. But one incident changed her attitude towards the paranormal.
She once met Vanga, a clairvoyant from Bulgaria. In fact, a lot of people know about it. Despite the condemnation of colleagues, their criticism and rejection of her as an academician. She did not change her opinion, and even stated that she did not just believe in the mystical. But she also sees prophetic dreams.
Richard Porter’s experiment
Psychologist Richard Porter decided to conduct an experiment proving that there is a certain invisible connection between a mother and a child. To do this, in one class, he gave the children new T-shirts. They had to spend the whole day in them. After that, mothers were invited to try to determine which one their child was wearing. Not by intuition or simple guessing, but by sniffing.
Given the fact that humans have a weak sense of smell, at least not in the same way as animals. We can catch smells only if they are really tangible and pronounced. Everyone, of course, has their own threshold of sensitivity, but in general, a person is not able to notice and distinguish the aroma at a long distance, or if it is practically imperceptible.
But, oddly enough, almost every woman was able to find her child’s T-shirt. Even despite the fact that the smell was very weakly expressed, and in some cases was absent altogether.
Harry Houdini Award
Inspired by the story of James Randi, Russian biologist Alexander Panchin and blogger Mikhail Lidin decided to repeat the experiment. They sent out invitations to the meeting to all participants of the Battle of Psychics. During which these special people had to prove that they really have secret knowledge and skills. The prize fund amounted to 1 million rubles. Named after Guddini because he was considered an unsurpassed illusionist and hypnotist. Harry fought charlatans all his life, rejecting the idea of the existence of everything mystical and paranormal.
So, this prize has not yet been received by anyone. The winners of such a famous show could not pass the easy tests and prove the presence of magical powers. For example, guess which of the proposed 10 boxes contains the promised million rubles. Or indicate to whom, which passport belongs, without disclosing it. Of the 12 people, it was necessary to name at least 6 correctly.
Rosemary Brown
Rosemary Brown was the composer. She managed to create brilliant works. And everything would be fine if it were not for the fact that she did not have a musical education. And her parents too. Moreover, she was an ordinary housewife who was fond of spiritualism. Just at one point, when she decided to try the piano for the first time, Rosemary heard a voice.
He introduced himself as Franz Liszt and ordered her to take a music notebook. In it, she wrote down what he dictated. She also played, so masterfully, as if she had been studying music since birth. As a result, she created more than 400 masterpieces, the authors of which, according to her, were such geniuses as Beethoven and Schopenhauer.
Matthew Manning
They call him the poltergeist. Because he could move objects in the room and even fill the room with water, it is not clear where it came from. And that’s just as an eleven year old. As he grew up, his abilities developed. Matthew began creating paintings in the style of Picasso, Henri Matisse and Thomas Bewick. Write in previously unknown languages. For example, in Italian, Russian, German, Arabic, Greek, Latin.
After a series of studies, scientists found that Matthew’s brain is working at 100 percent. And his central zone is active, which most often does not manifest itself in ordinary average people.
