I have had some experiences with psychics that were very odd indeed. One
picked up on a serious illness I had as a child that required months of
hospitalization. She even honed in on the exact amount of months my
hospital stay lasted. It was completely out of the blue. She was
describing a very defining moment in my life as though she was there when it
happen. I left her office with my head spinning?!?. It was the strangest
experience of my life. It seeme to confirm to me that there's a lot more to
life than meets the eye.
I'm not surprised that other societies like Brazil don't regard psychic
phenomenon as controversial. Some societies are more in touch with our
spiritual selves. I think western societies like American and British are
too rational at times and reliant on science to explain everything. There
are some ardent skeptics who disavow psychic phenomenon strongly. I wonder
how the Russians feel about psychic phenomenon? They seem to have done a
lot of psychic experiments over the years. The original shamans were
Russian indigenous peoples.

Subject: ID and scientist fear
A previous post mentions raises the issue of scientists being 'afraid'
of some things.
This is a little off topic but I recently attended a small seminar led
by Russell Targ - of CIA/Psychic Remote Viewer fame. After witnessing
several
surprizing demonstrations, you leave with the feeling that, not only is
this stuff real, but it's NO BIG DEAL in an emotional sense.
He said that he went to a conference in Brazil and the reaction was
something like "why are you bothering with this? Of course, psychic
ability
exists, everyone here knows that". He was surprized by the difference
in culture, even among the academics.
I wonder about UFOs also in regard to this strange "real, not real"
situation. Clearly, there are 'higher-ups' in Europe who think that
American denials
of UFO's are pure BS. The internal Cometa report in France showed this
- with suspicions expressed as to why the US keeps fighting against
disclosure. Some EU authorities were angry that US officials could
glibly dismiss events like the Belgian Triangle incident in the '80s -
in which
an enormous black triangle floated thru the night skies, witnessed by
countless authoritative people, photographed, tracked on radar, and
chased
away by NATO interceptors who couldn't catch it.
An even goofier situation has prevailed in India in which the India
Daily matter of factly discusses their military contacts with an ET UFO
base
located remotely in the Himilayas! You read the newspaper and it
reports cricket scores, stock quotes, the latest business news and an
editorial on why they should pressure the US on the subject in a very
serious, non sensationalistic way.
We live in a very strange world..................
