Extraordinary Claims: I’ll see it when I believe it
[12:41]
PARANORMAL INVESTIGATION…… With an open mind and respect to all belief systems despite being a skeptic myself, I would like to know why paranormal claims are not officially investigated through the court systems worldwide?
The multiple paranormal claims from Astrology, Tarot card reading, Pranic healing, Reiki, Feng Shui, Extrasensory perception (ESP)…. so many more to name, are collectively billion dollar industries, however, apart from personal testimony and promotion, never once have offered evidence beyond doubt in some kind of official investigative capacity despite hundreds of scientific researchers setting up quality and controlled investigations to assess results.
It’s another area that isn’t discussed well enough. I find it highly unethical that in this modern era, something has not been set up to investigate thoroughly and ‘officially’ on a governmental level. A very ambiguous topic, many charlatans, like in any industry and more importantly thousands of people who do not have much understanding of how the brain/mind truly works and often in a vulnerable, delicate state of mind, susceptible to believing a number of well articulated yet unproven memes. Believers are not stupid or arrogant or liars as such, but maybe owning a mind that is desperate for peace and happiness due to very hurtful life scenarios, creating susceptibility and a gullibility to believe, but all they may be doing is raising hope and optimism and not much else.
When healing is involved and advice to follow over time, there are those who will not seek mainstream medical advice and treatment and that can have devastating consequences!
