(Q) said:Within ones own mind, that could be true. But, one cannot access anothers thoughts, that is pure horsepucky. That has never been shown by anyone.
It is not horsepucky. It is true. Forget about "I didn't see it on the discovery channel, so you must be lying.
I think scientists are myopic. They only see science. They have no clue about politics or social agendas. As a scientist, the only thing they can see is "prove something is true or not". They fail to see that politicians and regular people have the motive to interfere with scientific fact. If science says that politicians all have a mental problem and should be in insane asylums, you can bet the politicians will murder that scientist and burn his research.
Scientists need to come out of the lab and see how the violent really truly run the world. All that stuff from school and the media about democracy and stuff is just brain programming to keep you working in the lab, making new inventions to make the violent elite wealthy.
(Q) said:One is also warned against egoic attachments to these 'powers' when others go 'oooohhh and aahhhh' and "Aren't you special!" and feed the ego. That alone is a good reason to keep one's 'abilities' to oneself.
And why do they do this? Because people like you or the other naysayers in this thread say "well if you can read minds, why don't you go to amazing randi and get 1 million dollars?". The warnings against getting a big head are reasonable warnings because the first thing most people think of is, "How can I use this ability to take advantage of others for my own selfish needs?".
Don't let them fool you though. Most of them do use telepathy for their own selfish needs.
(Q) said:More excuses and more crap. Since no one has ever shown those abilities,
You really ought to be more accurate or truthful. "No one has ever shown these abilities to you, the poster known as Q.
(Q) said:then no one has ever called someone special preceded by ooohs and aaahs. And if they were to keep it to themselves, why are so many nutjobs claiming they have the ability, regardless of the fact they cannot show their abilities to anyone.
Because you fail to listen. I think I or someone else mentioned that people can naturally resist telepathy. Some can, some cannot, some to varying degrees. If you say to yourself, "I am not going to let my mind be read", and you do it with full concentration, focus and will power, you can probably stop most people.
So if a test is set up, and you are sitting there with your full intellect and willpower, thinking, "This is bullshit", then nothing will happen. Not because it is false or a lie. But because you have stopped the test with your refusal to cooperate.
Then like I said before. If someone says to you "you killed someone and buried their body in the park", are you going to jump up and attack them for that? Everyone has things to hide. Everyone. Because of this, most people, if they really did think telepathy was real, would do anything possible to stop it, or stop the people who can do it.
