Take a good look at the way human society is working now. The truly gifted people are few and far between while the auto nay-sayers are running rampant. I don’t blame you for your negative attitude. It’s not your fault.

Of course, I’m my own greatest skeptic. I could also say that the evidence that I’ve gathered “falls on the true side of science.” But that wouldn’t be right. Both conventional and unconventional science both do legitimate hypotheses, experiments, and conclusions. Sometimes the evidence is irrefutable. Other times it isn’t.

Andy, this is for you and everyone else with your attitude: Before you go around berating people, spend an honest amount of your time and effort studying their work, testing their methods, then come to your own conclusion. If your conclusion is negative, present your evidence, not just nay-saying.

Time and effort in scientific experiment requires the kind of discipline when practicing a martial art in a dojo. If you fear the discipline of a dojo and it’s sensei, then you fear the discipline required for true scientific experiment.

You lend yourself to true human advancement when your “free will” is disciplined towards that achievement.

Thanks for your time,

Randolph, HealingMindN Medicine Man

But I could be wrong. You should not mistake ridicule on my blog for blank dismissal. People find humour in many places, some make careers of it.

Are you open to the possibility that you’re wrong? For example, you reference Ed Dames’ website - a website dedicated top selling product. Why should I not be skeptical of him, especially when there appears so much evidence that he is not what he claims to be?

In other words, I may be choosing to follow the “wrong” evidence - but is there any possibility, in your mind, that you might be wrong?

Now, in this response you were quite reasonable but in you other you dismissed me as a troll without addressing a single word I’d written. As I said there, if ad hominem is to be your main approach to discussion, then rest assured I shan’t return.

People are born naturally scientifically inquisitive. Skepticism kicks in when frauds push fairytales, thus causing negative psychic feedback. The more negative feedback that a person receives in his life, the more he believes this is part of the natural world.

Andy, you’re reaction is natural. I don’t blame you for your attitude because there ARE so many hucksters such as the ones in Nigeria trying to take advantage of innocent people.

These hucksters want nothing to do with a Healing Mind or having healing connections with people around. They were raised differently, thus, they have a different outlook on life. The problem is it almost looks like you’re putting me in the same class with hucksters.

Let me ask you: Is it possible that some small part of you has considered all the evidence of psychic research and psychoenergetics? Is it possible that you haven’t seen all the evidence there is to see or looked into every bit of research outside of the mainstream? Is it possible that small part of you WANTS to look into all the evidence, but there’s something holding you back? Some inner voice?

Is it possible that small part of you actually seeks the truth? To completely understand before refuting evidence - yet to be seen?

Sure I could look in the mirror and tell myself to just close my mind to the evidence and believe anyway. I could also choose to believe I can fly, then jump off a cliff. I could choose to believe in unicorns, leprechauns, fairies, Santa Claus and trolls under the bridge.

I could choose to believe everything is true. There are some people in Nigeria who wish I would ignore the evidence that they are frauds and just believe what they claim. There’s a few used-car salesmen who get annoyed at my skepticism when they insist their cars aren’t overpriced, despite the evidence. Old people are targeted on a regular basis by people offering bottom dollar for their shares and others knocking on their doors and asking for money for work they have no intention of doing.

The frauds win when people abandon natural skepticism and replace it with unfettered belief.

Skepticism isn’t about denying possibility. Many of use believe psychic powers could be possible. All we ask for is evidence - but that seems too much to ask. Sorry, but I prefer to keep an open mind on these things.
