Extrasensory Perception - Does Science Lack The Knowledge?

Extrasensory Perception - Does Science Lack The Knowledge?

By:


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.

Within many ancient cultures as well as indigenous people extrasensory perceptions has been noted as common practice and still exists in modern day times whereby there is communication with their ancestors as well as spirits and these people have been termed as having the second sight which in ancient times were termed witches and were persecuted or burned.

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.

The professionals selected cards that were very well shuffled and only they knew what the symbols were and in turn asked the person professing to be able to mind read what was on these cards. As well as later even a dice was used to try and obtain the same effect and both methods proved fruitful. When scientists and psychologists could not prove a definite yes or no explanation after extensive trials extrasensory perception was accepted. But research did not stop there; the professionals went onto to investigating how the unconscious mind functions as well as evaluating the human personality so that they would come to some understanding of ESP.

Those that were extremely aware of extrasensory perception and believed it existed took the card and dice tests and produced very high scores as opposed to those that were bordering on the sceptical side of things. The professionals then categorized their findings into two sections as follows - believers were defined as sheep and those that did not believe as goats. Today this test is still applied by the professionals and is known as the sheep-goat test. Meditation and REM sleep were also used giving more solid theoretical results.

In modern day this is now accepted as the norm and extrasensory perception is termed as parapsychology and making certain types of psychic phenomena such as astral projection and telepathy as well as telekinesis a standard phenomena accepted by science as well as these being accepted as spontaneous occurrences. It was also found that these experiences were not able to be controlled or replicated in any way.
