do you believe in psychic powers and abilities

if there are people that posses psychic powers then why has nobody won the James Randi Foundation prize. This is a $1000000 prize for anyone that can prove in controlled conditions they have genuine powers. and yet in 30 years not one person has even come close.

here is a video of James Randi hilariously debunking someone called James Hydrick who claims to have so called powers

I'm getting a reading.....most people in this thread will not believe!

humans who have it now? no. we use like 10% of our brain power now, if we could use all 100 someday in the future, it could happenweezyfb

They can't bust that. It's fact, not myth. At any one time we are only using 10% of our brain.

Iif nobody knows then they still couldn't mythbust it.

Absolutely not.

The closest psychic I know is Shawn Spencer from Psych (the show tells that he is a psychic practically) and even he isn't a real psychic, just a modern, crazier and more off-topic version of Sherlock Holmes.

Sure. It can be possible, i think

I think stuff like that comes from the Pineal Gland, which I believe to be the third eye(so to speak). But it's dormant in a sense inside of most of us from not using it and/or by shutting it down with stuff like processed foods, flouride and stuff like TV which tend to put the gland to be less effective that by the time we're adults, the gland is completely dormant from lack of use. Awakeing thegland can improve our learning & memory ability, enhance our intuition, wisdom and creativity will come back to us, trigger our psychic abilities and experience bliss.

Another thing that makes it possible is the amino acids. Supposedly, we have 64 amino acid codes in our genetic code, but only 20 of those codes are active which tends to limit our abilities as humans. While the other codes are shut down, that means activities like clairvoyance, psychic healing and humand evolution in general are put on hold

Psychics = REAL :roll:

No i don't.

I believe it is entirely possible, as we have yet to know the true potential of the human body and mind... but since I have not witnessed them in action, I cannot accept that they currently are practiced by the charlatans who take advantage of people for their money.

no. and i wish people would stop with the psychic BS. it's actually doing harm.

resources going to psychic "detectives" rather than to things that would actually help solve a case is harmful. charging people money to "talk" to your dead parents is harmful. propogating the general mindset of believing something for no good reason is harmful.

No. All psychics are charlatans. Anyone with basic knowledge of how cold reading works can do it.

that's a little misleading, it's a silly old wivestale that's misunderstood.

here's a good analogy: a tv that displays a 480i resolution only uses half of its pixels at any one time. yeah but you use the other half a split-second later. that's how it works. a CPU chip only has some of it's transistors on at any one time.

if we used all of our brain at once we would not function at all. all of our muscles would contract and we would basically be a vegatiable person until we started using our brains normally again. heck we might even die or go into a coma if that happened.

yes, but there's a reason why a person who have these powers can't perform for personal gain like money.

if people were in fact verifiably able to demonstrate psychic ablities, I would be okay with paying them.

the reason they shouldn't get money now, is because there's no demonstrable reliable evidence of anyone having psychic abilities. or is there? maybe there is some reliable evidence i haven't seen? why do you believe in psychic powers?

no. and i wish people would stop with the psychic BS. it's actually doing harm.

how is tax-funded psychic detectives not harmful? that money could have gone to actual experts who are much better at solving crimes. it shoudn't be allowed.

at least not until there is actual reliable evidence that psychic ablities exist.

This thread reminds me of The Men Who Stare at Goats.

yes. my great aunt could levitate.

Of course. In my taekwondo class, we practiced floating while meditating for half an hour.
