• It never ends.

  CamelJoe again:

  I am hoping that you never ignore my questions,  because I ask out of curiosity, and not to [be?] funny or ignorant.

  I find it funny [adjective:   beyond or deviating from the usual or expected--onelook] that you will freely admit to curiosity [noun:   a state in which you want to learn more about something--onelook], but not to ignorance [noun:   the lack of knowledge or education--onelook].  Is not your ignorance the reason for your curiosity–else, why want to learn?

  well first off, i guessed who was calling when the phone rang before
  I picked up. Lucky guess. I really don’t believe in Phychic ablilities,
  and telepathy and telekinisis, probably because I am a see-er to be a
  believer.

  You seem confused and even dishonest, if only dishonest with yourself.  If you are being truthful in the statement
  above, you have been wasting my time all along.  On the off chance
  that that is true, this, Rachel, will be your last chance to pester me
  with questions.  That statement goes beyond ignorance, even beyond
  stupidity, into prejudice.  Your mind is made up?  Is that
  right?  You choose to believe that psychic abilities (no need to
  capitalize, but please learn to spell it if you’re going to continue using
  the word) do not exist, and yet you believe in luck while contending that you must see to believe?  Isn’t it funny that you don’t believe in psychic abilities and I don’t believe in luck [noun:   an unknown and unpredictable phenomenon that leads to a favorable outcome--onelook]?

  Even before I was born, at Duke University, pioneering researcher Dr. J.B. Rhine,
  in his ESP lab, had tested many people for telepathy and precognition,
  and got results far exceeding any that could be expected through
  chance.  He coined the term “extrasensory perception.”

  In the 1970′s at Stanford Research Institute, Russel Targ and Harold Puthoff,
  in physics and electronics labs (and I do mean PHYSICS, not psychics),
  tested everyone from Ingo Swann (a famous psychic) to their students,
  secretaries, and  pizza delivery boys.  To their own surprise they found that virtually
  everyone they tested had some capacity for “remote viewing” (telepathy), and no one group stood out over any other.  Next year, in 2005, a new edition of their 1978 book, Mind Reach:  Scientists Look at Psychic Abilities, will be published.

  Can you point to any research demonstrating the existence of
  luck?  Research in that field is still tentative, to the best of
  my knowledge.  Results are largely anecdotal.

  Is it sad that I look forward to seeing your answers?

  I don’t know–does it sadden you?  If so, you might gain some
  valuable personal insight by pursuing that thought
  introspectively.  Has anyone ever taught you introspection?

  The thing about our dialogue that really saddens me is the sorry
  state of your education.  I don’t know what kind of schools you’ve
  gone to, but they suck, bigtime.  Evidently no one has taught you
  how to do library research, and there were apparently no dictionaries
  in your classrooms.  You have a world of knowledge (literally) at
  your fingertips.  All of these questions you’ve been asking me,
  you could have answered in more detail, and possibly more authoritatively, by going to Google or, if that’s too cerebral for you, you could ask Jeeves.

   I’ll
  keep asking more questions.

  Thanks for the warning.

   I really  want to bout this whole phychic
  thing.

  My reading skill, the ability to decipher plain and not-so-plain
  English, suggests that you may want to battle (“bout”) some new fad or
  fashion I’ve never heard of before (phy-chic), but thanks to my amazing
  psychic powers, I know that you want to learn about mind-power, your
  mind moves faster than your fingers do, and you lack the patience,
  humility, and consideration for your readers, to proof before you post.

  I haven’t had any weird thoughts by the way.

  As beauty is in the eye of the beholder, so “weird” is in the mind
  of the thinker.  To my mind, your entire way of thinking is molto weirdissimo.  And that “weird thoughts” line I tossed off yesterday was a joke, kiddo.

  Ermm I hate to be
  annoying but teach me how to be pshychic lol, wow im so nieve. (did i
  even spell that right?)

  Hell, no, and you KNOW you misspelled it!  You could have
  looked up the correct spelling if you were not so content to be
  wrong.  What kind of OS do you have?  Mine is Windows, and
  right now I have six windows open:  this one, Google, Onelook, two
  of the technical pages I found with Google to link for your
  edification (which I intend to go back and read more closely after I finish this), and one that Doug left for my amusement when he went to bed, which I will link for the amusement of my readers.  It’s a pip of a ping of a pong!

  I’m not sure that “naíve” is the best word for you.  I’ll stick
  with “confused”, and maybe “obtuse” [no, not an angle greater than square, but "adjective:   lacking in insight or discernment"]  Your confusion verges on multiple personality
  disorder.  You say you want me to teach you how to “be” something
  the reality of which you do not even believe in.  That’s pathetic.

  The fact is, you are already psychic.  EVERY   NORMAL   HUMAN   BEING   IS  
  PSYCHIC.  “Extrasensory” perception is built into the human
  brain.  Our remote ancestors were using it millennia ago to find
  game for food, to give just one example.  Conventional “modern” education
  doesn’t teach us to develop those capacities.  Fear-based
  religions disparage and demonize them.  Unevolved, willfully
  third-eye-blind “skeptics” make their fames and fortunes making fun of
  them.   Naíve followers blind themselves to their own psychic
  awareness and call it luck or guesswork or hallucination or
  delusion.  The deluded ones are those who choose to keep their
  eyes closed.

  Here is a little bit of what I picked up by going to psychic
  seminars and hanging out with experts in the field.  I must give
  credit to my mentor Dick Sutphen.  Most of this came either directly from him or through contacts I made at one of his seminars.

  There is no little red light that lights up in your mind to alert
  you when you are receiving psychic data.  It’s just a thought like
  any other thought.  It could be imagination or a brain fart. 
  Psychic practitioners should get an “MSU” degree, letters to put after
  our names, meaning “makes stuff up.”  All of this stuff does,
  after all, come from our minds.  Mind-to-mind communication and
  precognition, etc., being “all in the mind,” are difficult if not
  impossible to distinguish from other thoughts.  Before we can
  learn to make good use of our non-physical senses, we must learn to
  trust ourselves and our own minds.  Then we must learn how to
  verify and validate what we perceive.

  Rachel, thus far you have shown yourself to be unwilling to take step one, so how can you expect me to teach you anything?

  1) What is your name

  Look it up for yourself.

  2) do you AOL or AIM? so that I could talk to you faster?

  AHA!  AOL… that explains a few things.  Perhaps when you
  have progressed some, if you progress, I will make myself more readily
  available to you.  Meanwhile, I like it just as it is.

  3) Man o man just talking to you makes me want to learn more and learn to see if I have any “powers”

  Rachel, just look… I mean scroll up and see how radically you have
  changed your tune in the course of this one post.  And you claim
  you don’t have any weird thoughts!

  How can you expect me to instruct you when you are so
  disrespectful?  I told you that knowing who’s calling before you
  answer the phone, finishing other’s sentences, etc., are signs of
  telepathy.  These are everyday realities that most people
  disregard because they’ve been taught to fear the powers of their own
  minds.  You say it’s not so and then you go on and importune me to
  teach you.  I cannot even begin to guide you unless you are
  willing to accept what I say or at least give it a try.

  I will leave you at that because I know my questions are getting on the annoying side. Sorry..

  -Rachel

  sorry.. Im back again hehe..

  If our dialogue is to continue, you must cease the “sorry”
  bullshit.  If you’re going to be sorry about it, don’t do
  it.  If you do it, don’t be sorry about it.  You’re wasting
  words, engaging in mental masturbation there.

  when you said

  We should be able to have some fun playing with remote viewing and such

  what did you mean?

  I meant what I wrote.  What part do you not understand?

  and when u said

  I connected with you and your friends the first time I found your Xanga sites.

  what did you mean?

  Hmmmm…. owstopkickinme… isn’t she a friend of yours? 
  There’s at least one more in that little circle I found sometime last
  year.  The name isn’t coming to me, but I’m getting the image of a
  duck.  Damn leaky, fuzzy memory….  Anyway, the content of
  your weblogs didn’t excite me, but you girls interested me. 
  That’s what I mean.  There was a psychic *ping* that told me there
  was something in that circle worth making the effort to
  communicate.  And you’ve validated it through your interest and
  this dialogue.

  ok sorry.  -rach

  There you go again, jerkin’ off.  I know you’re not sorry, so stop playing word games.
