Parapsychology is closely linked with so-called eastern mysticism,which was discussed in the book The Tao of Physics: An Exploration of the Parallels between Modern Physics and Eastern Mysticism by Fritjof Capra. Many parapsychology phenomena were recorded for the eastern practices e.g. meditation in Taoism, Buddhism, etc. One of my classmates experience such thing during his Qigong training. I am from China. I read a lot of parapsychology record in ancient Chinese books written more than two thousands years ago.
Glad I found this video and channel, as well as the channels and videos in the suggested videos in the sidebar. It's nice and refreshing to see actual scientists discussing the field of Parapsychology in a scientific context, using scientific methods and generally approaching the field of Parapsychology from a scientific point of view. The common approach of "it's a ghost, look at the paranormal activity with apparitions" etc... has set the field of Parapsychology back practically since it's very inception (in Western culture anyway), causing the entire field to receive very little attention, even derision and disdain, from the scientific community at large. Hopefully, real scientists will continue to approach and speak on the subject from a scientific viewpoint, showing the scientific community (and the general public) that all the mumbo-jumbo and hocus- pocus can be ignored in favor of real science and scientific method. Great video and keep up the good work, I tip my hat to brave scientists willing to speak on the subject, even with the risk of being taken as some kind of pseudo-scientists and nut cases by their peers.
@@JP-sd7di This is what most people mean by "science" as per Webster's: "knowledge about or study of the natural world based on facts learned through experiments and observation". In other words, you adapt your worldview based on experiments and observations of the real world. You DO NOT through out or ignore experimental results just because they don't fit your worldview
Interesting. I literally saw poltergeist activity when I was younger. A female friend (19-20) was arguing on the phone with her mom. Stuff started to fly off the wall, kind of random. The building was an old stone post office converted to apartments. There was no way that movement from the building would knock stuff off. Plus I checked to see if any windows were open, there were not. She got off the phone and the activity continued for a few minutes. I was not scared, it was just odd. So we have found the causal aspect. How exactly does it happen? Emotions are a phenomenon that arises from being alive, but how does that "force" influence objects around us?
I think Jung classified them as types of synnchronicities. Acausal and meaningful coincidences. Which I guess 🤔 is causal or instead of causal in our sense of the term it is a sign. Working with signs and symbols because the unconscious mind works in the language of symbols. Those objects being broken all were connected with her mom. It was a symbolic and a sign her mom was not well. When she became conscious of that and accepted the meaningfullness of the synchronicity the poltergeist went away, it had done its duty. What do you guys think am I making sense?
@@Vahe345 Perhaps :) I think it was more an outpouring of emotions and her perhaps subconscious wish to hurt her mom in those moments, but it is forbidden, so that young female force did things a person would do when they cant hurt the person, they/we go after inanimate objects to release that energy/emotion in a "safe" way. I do not believe Poltergeists are a separate entity that can do our bidding, but perhaps an extension of ourselves/the target. Like a physical emotion or energy. Or perhaps that energy might "wander" around for awhile before it dissipates. I dont think a mediumship type of communication can be set up outside the presence of the target. but maybe if the person is present it might respond emotionally to asked questions.
@@Joxman2k was it a subconscious wish to hurt the mom because she got hot in the leg during sleep and said something like I need you mom right? Or protect me I can't remember her words.
@@Vahe345 I'm not sure what you are talking about as this was an event that happened to my friend 30 years ago. My friend was talking on the phone with her mom. They got into an argument over the phone. Stuff started to move off of the walls, and it continued for a small period after she got off of the phone.
Science is just a part of it. Science can't define anything. All tests to subjects which are ever made are always just one thing of a story. Science tell you always a tiny result of what's happening in the life.
part of the problem is in the word paranormal.. and it makes u wonder about just how paranormal our supposed normal reality is.. because you have human minds moving around in it and controlling it... or at least aspects of it... and yet we have no real normal idea of what they are... so in a sense we are actually living in a para-normal reality when u think about it.
ABDIAZIZ FARAH "you're overthinking it buddy. It's normal". Not quite actually, this "normal" reality is not as normal as you think. Take a particle, look further to find a subatomic particle, look further to find vortices of vibrating energy. Even our bodies are made up of this energy. (Interesting note - Nikola Tesla said that if we want to understand the universe, think in terms of frequency and vibration) Our consciousness has been shown to have physical affects on reality. The double slit experiment which showed that when scientists observed an electron, it necessitated where it would appear (very brief summary, you definitely should search it). This "normal" reality is far from normal, I strongly suggest you look deeper into quantum physics.
extraterrestrial16 I agree 100%. It is not known how human consciousness works. Where did it come from? Science has theories, but no credible reasons - paranormal. When ghosts and hauntings are considered, I believe both kinds exist. If our consciousness is so strong, and contains every part of our personality, it cannot just dissipate upon death. "Energy cannot be created or destroyed; it can only change form." (Einstein). Our consciousness came from somewhere. We do not know where - paranormal. How do hauntings work? A haunting, according to Loyd Auerbach, is a residual "recording" of past events that replay under the right conditions. Where there is water there is a great chance for these place memories. Water conducts energy like lightning which is electricity, and the human energy is pure electricity. When our electrostatic energy imprints into the environment by psychokinesis, it gets stuck in a quantum web. When geomagnetic storms happen it can ignite this energy. This is purely theoretical, but when we consider Quantum mechanics, especially the split laser experiment (which proves electrons can be in two places at once) this could explain teleportation of an energy field. Our reality is what we see it as. It's not set in stone. Things happen in outer space that we cannot explain, or measure. I wish science would not turn a theory away because it cannot be measured.
extraterrestrial16 many different animals have a way of life different from others like bats can use sound to move around and sharks can detect blood, we humans are the advanced species, the ones that have created many ways on living. If animals can do things other animals cant do and so do humans, what if our mind, the way we think, is just the beginning, but our mind can advance, upgrade, into a mind that can actually bend reality for example parakinesis
Cause parapsychology isn't something what you can understand with the mind but understand with something what is understood by our instincts. The conscious mind is too limited to get a full picture.
I remembered parts of my life befor it happened. Was like remembering the past but the future. Didnt even knkw it was me till it started irl. Things i saw all had emotional attachments so it was all stuff id have remembered.
So people who experience poltergeists tend to be young and angsty, attribute their mistakes to external forces and dissociate from their own actions? And that's evidence FOR telekinesis?
I know a couple that have a degree in parapsychology but they have some kind of extra sense which they can know almost everything about me and even my future and when the dates checked for something many years later for me is like my whole world crashing down... It's like my life is already all written, but they just left me many more questions that I wish I could ask them but don't dare to like if it's all written can it be changed and many other stuff... Ps: no money involved so they aren't any kind of scam.
How do you explain when things fly across the room and the objects aren't related and you aren't the only one there? When more than one person sees and experiences "poltergeist activity"? Also when the circumstances are nothing like what he's describing? Not sure this can explain every instance or even most.
Maybe not but usually its hard to discover the cause. Often things that remain unconscious is because they are too painful to allow into consciousness. So you really would have to do a lot of soul searching. If the poltergeist is consist you could maybe separate the people to see if it is only one person is responsible as a start.
@@Vahe345 I'm currently pursuing my Master's in Forensic Psychology (after a Bachelor's in the same subject) and I question that this can simply be attributed to a fugue state resulting from dissociation due to trauma. I've done plenty of research as well as soul searching, and I can assure you that the things I've seen were not perpetrated by myself or anyone else in a fugue state.
I think it is not challenge for science rather it is growth of science and knowing one self if these are proven true the way can humanity shift that would be mind boggling
Parapsychology is some thing which we dont have any enough knowledge to understand ( like quantum mechanics) its like a cave man trying to figure out, to make a rocket . Its better to research about this after we get enough respurces and Scientific knowledge.
Andrew Aronson I can materialize objects through meditation, they appear out from nothing, so far I’ve materialized a flashlight, gloves, kettle cooked chips, weed and paraphernalia, but I stopped because I didn’t have a way to get proof. With the right resources I would love to imagine my limits. I was poor and under stress towards the end of when I was materializing objects, I never had the availability to set up a camera.
I have studied parapsychology for years, but overall 90℅-95℅ of all cases aren't paranormal in nature. The rest remain inconclusive, but there has not been in conclusive evidence to show that paranormal events happen in reality. For the time being, it is best to postpone this, for more productive fields of science, because parapsychology, tends to waste a lot of time and resources, until more cases are testable, by science, versus pseudoscientific means to over hype data.
Not sure if I buy into you having studied parapsychology "for years" . Parapsychology has been studied and documented for at least 180 years. Fast forward to the conclusive evidence , Read the works of Dr. Jeffery Mishlove , Dr. Jules Eisenbud , Dr. A.W.G Owen , Dr. William Roll , Mrs. Iris M. Owen , Dr. Dean Raden , Dr. Stanley krippner , Dr. Charles Tart , Joseph McMoneagle (US Army intelligence) , Professor Stephen E. Braude , Dr. Ed May , and who can forget Carl Jung and even Terrence McKenna. They and about a dozen other past and present research scientists who's books I have read have demonstrated without question the reality of the phenomena. In fact , Psychokinesis alone is telling us huge amounts about how quantum theory works in the mundane world. The field of parapsychology is absolutely filled with evidence. If you don't enjoy reading , try out the RU-vid channel "New Thinking Allowed" which contains detailed interviews with many of those I just mentioned.
I think there's a huge interest not to prove any of this stuff, and that's why anyone in parapsychology will tell you that funding is always scarce, with proper funding things could change, although certain phenomena are very difficult to observe and test under the scientific method. Assuming for a minute that ghosts exist, even in a home that reports frequent unexplained disturbances of this nature, is not likely to produce much evidence unless monitored in its entirety (every inch of the house covered) for a long enough period of time. The reality is not like in the movies, the events themselves can be infrequent, then a few can come at once, and then nothing for months or years, it makes the science in this area very difficult.
Scott Lutz... you do not demonstrate a phenomenon in a book or by writing a book. This requires creating experiments which are reproducible that demonstrate said phenomenon, then having others independently reproduce the results etc.... can you point to anything like this as a demonstration of the phenomenon??

For the ordinary person it is almost inconceivable how the huge material creation is resting in Him. But the Lord is giving an example which may help us to understand. Space is the biggest manifestation we can conceive. The cosmic manifestation rests in space. Space permits the movement of even the atoms and on up to the greatest planets, the sun and the moon. Although the sky (or wind or air) is great, still it is situated within space. Space is not beyond the sky. Similarly, all the wonderful cosmic manifestations are existing by the supreme will of God, and all of them are subordinate to that supreme will. As we generally say, not a blade of grass moves without the will of the Supreme Personality of Godhead. Thus everything is moving under His will: by His will everything is being created, everything is being maintained, and everything is being annihilated. Still He is aloof from everything, as space is always aloof from the activities of the atmosphere.
