I was hoping you wouldn't use such an easy target such as that video. This is my cherry-poppin first post on ATS. I will like to say that this is a
subject that should entice any open mind that is never quite sure if there is an end to what we know and a beginning to something else we don't know.
Sure, there are a lot of people gullible to something science hasn't studied significantly. There will always be those who believe we never stepped
foot on the moon we see afar... but there is still a lot of data that hasn't been explored in this matter of content.
For anyone to blatantly state in a factual context that "Until you show me proof, I err on the side of skepticism and say there isn't anything
paranormal", that's a story you've put an end to by only reading the preface. You know the general table of contents and you see the overzealous
soul-stalkers who perpetuate silliness and vagueness with their supposed knowledge of the subject. You don't see the true scientific studies taking
place because this field isn't popular with government and if it isn't popular with government, the study doesn't get the funding it needs.
By the way, the ideomotor effect doesn't work when you have more than three participants with completely different backgrounds and belief systems
sitting at a board. That would mean that anything spelled out and making any kind of sense at all would require a controller subconsciously taking
complete control over the movement of the planchette, and if that's the case, wouldn't other participants speak up and point out said controller's
involvement in the movement - unless every participant were willing to give up control after every letter, passing on the control to another
controller subconsciously, all until a legible word is concocted...
I believe there is no certainty in life. If I knew for a fact there is no heaven, hell, and that everything stops when I make up a jar of ash, I can
honestly tell you that my moral fiber would deconstruct. That's sad, but knowing isn't always seeing and seeing isn't always feeling.
