Extrasensory Perception – Is This Real?
There has always been a vast debate as to whether extrasensory perception (ESP) is actually factual. Still today ESP is misinterpreted by many who don’t understand the concept. What this means is one receives information that is gained through the deep subconscious.
All humans have had an ESP experience some or other time and are really not an unfamiliar practice. We have all used the term such as I have a strong gut feeling, or my sixth sense tell me not to do this etc. The sixth sense is a natural warning “survival” mechanism. And believe it or not every living creature on the planet shares has this ability in one way or another.
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.
Since antiquity extrasensory perception has been noted in ancient cultures up to modern day, and those that had such “powers” where termed as having second sight, hence thousands were persecuted and burned on the stake and termed as witches. In many tribal cultures the medicine people communicated with ancestors and spirits alike.
Later scientists started to devise experiments in order to test the extrasensory perception ability. A simple set of cards was designed and called Zener cards and later changed to ESP cards. These cards were designed with symbols such as squares, stars, circles, crosses as well as wavy lines which made up the full set and the pack of cards comprised of twenty five cards.
A methodology was devised in that the scientist or parapsychologist would shuffle the cards just to make sure there was no specified sequence and would then choose say five cards and look at them while the person in question would then have to tell the professional which cards they were holding in their hands. Professionals were still not convinced and later began using a dice as well and it turned out that both these methods proved better than chance. After many years of testing extrasensory perception became accepted still with some scepticism though then leading the professionals to start investigating as well as trying to understand the humans unconscious mental processes and personalities.
It was later found that people who were aware of extrasensory perception on taking the card or dice test scored highly as opposed to those who were sceptical. And this was defined as follows – believers (sheep) and sceptics (goats) hence this is now known by professionals as the sheep-goat effect. Professionals then went even further and started including meditation, and the REM sleep procedures which later proved even more effective.
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.
