The Wikipedia says that a large fraction of the people believe in ESP. Are they wrong? First, please see my page A Vision of Health about the general idea of how common sense may have arisen via evolution and why there is power in common sense.
Brain research has shown that there is always a link between what we think and the actual changes in the body that take place that goeswith it. For example, consider Subvocal Speech. This is like when we read silently and others hear a bit of the sound on the other side of the room of our words traced out by our vocal chords amplified a bit by our chest. The way they find subvocal speech on site is by just aiming the amplifier at the mouth and multiplying up the sound a lot so it can be heard much as a usual sound. They use this for radios between those on plants or airplanes or other loud places so they can hear above the roar by amplifying the sound to hear. If the body is always connected to the brain, the main way the speech is processed when we think without talk may be by subvocal speech because without it we would have no way this good to actuate the sound. Perhaps this is unguaranteed about subvocal speech being necessary to thought. However because it’s more true than no about the usual link between thought and body I think it may be worth what, just so, They’re using MRI to read dreams while in sleep mode. Because of the link usually found a much cheaper and perhaps more reliable method may be via using the subvocal speech amp that would presumably amplify up the words you dream. They are using radar through walls to actually pick up the heart and breathing signs and this can be used as proof anyone is in a given place when they were there also in proof like about law or health. I learned this from the comics, they say the visuals of a comic are always written after the story line and follow the story line much more than the other way around. Dreams may be the celebration of sleep (good suprises). So using a good sound amp may be much more cushy for the sleep learners, if they don't conk out! This about of subvocal speech and ESP via low volume sound may explain how in research prayer from others may aid recovery of ill persons. While it seems in recent research http://www.newscientist.com/channel/health/mg19025463.200.html that prayer may be of no value or may cause actual harm, this is just preliminary since there are many controls to consider in the research. For example other research has shown that if you are hurt, the probability of help offered by anyone around is actually inversly proportional to the number of others nearby. You’re only most likely to be aided if there is just you and the saving anjel in the area with you.. In the research they tried larger numbers of people praying for the ill person, so this being unhealthy may have been of reduced value. You may have heard of the studies where in neighborhoods where the people help others, the crime rate is lower. So the research may be controlled by using just a few people praying. It’s said by a paper (made of foam in the 21st century) “The truth abounds in quiet places”. Research with animals has shown for example that mammals are agitated and upset by noise. So perhaps the noise of the rooms where the prayed for were was so loud they literally couldn’t hear the prayers. Another possiblity is that most of the person’s prayed for were actually conservatives and thought bad of science, while the ones who were moderates in the same group thought bad of the religious part of the prayer.
Like scientists in times after Aristotlle believed the world was round, no less an authority than the august Encyclopedia Americana say no serious scientist would doubt ESP, if they do they say doubters are not up on the information that has proven it.
About animal ESP many sites say it may just be explained by good hearing of the animals. Perhaps human ESP which has been proven in the lab may also be just good auditions for subvocal speech and other sounds. This idea of subvocal speech being used to find dreams may also be an explanation of how there are many examples of when a person dreams a dream and wakes up their wife/ beautician and she dreamed the same dream. They already have found that the human ear has a broad perception range, and a bit more research may prove if the reach is further and this may be the source of the information. The perception of low volume (low amplitude) sound waves of subvocal speech would have evolved in the wild to have good know how of competitors. Darwin thought competitors (with information we would value for defence) were more important to survival than predators since they were competing for the same resources. (Darwin uses the word love 87 times but the word survival of the fittest about twice).
In lab research with animals a method of actually knowing what an animal thinks they choose is by giving them an option of such as a hall (of animal size) that leads to an empty box and the other tube leads to such as a pool of water the animal can splash around in. If this is used in many examples they find out many complex things about what animals thoughts are about many topics.
They’ve trained some dogs to answer more than 200 words. If animal ESP exists and is just good hearing, an experiment to prove or disprove this would be training a dog or other animal with a dog typewriter of say 5 by 5 symbols on a side (most dogs would perhaps learn 25) with a symbol the dog learns printed on each of the 25 pads-Control ARF Dewoof! The dog would be trained to learn the language and would always type in the right answer. With this achieved by the dog the ESP if by good hearing would be proven or disproven by extension of the distance between the dog and trainer. Or if they just ask the 200 word dog to go and fetch stuff from a distance. Since dogs are honest (Mark Twain said the dog goes to heaven and we would stay) this may be a way of finding out how far an animals hearing may reach, and perhaps be extended to the realm of this, if hearing research is up to this. As a control to see if the information is sent via the low amplitude sound waves these would be shielded.
I’ve read that in one famous study they allowed volunteers the option of inflicting electric shocks (of 0 voltage) on people in another room who feigned they were in pain. The volunteers in all of this study usually when they found out the feigned pain was going to be going on, would “just laugh” and about two thirds of the volunteers in hours that followed went to the limit of a “lethal” shock sustained by the other individual. This was after the volunteers were told with an elaborate explanation it was all in the name of science, so it was supposedly evidence that authority was more important than mores of society generally about the decisions people make. This ESP by sound would predict the volunteers had a way of knowing what was actually going on by the sound waves. The volunteers may have been just laughing when they were suprised that the technicians in white coats involved were unaware that they were causing the person recieving the “shock” no pain and that the people putting the volunteer on were bluffing. The volunteer may have been thrilled at the feeling of power they got of finally outachieving science or laughing at the actors bad off off broadway!
ESP by sound would offer the explanation of what many would hope for civilization’s power that these volunteers were moral and good. They were in the same jurisdiction where they would have laws that would limit them if they hurt anyone by “recieving the jolt”, and they would all know this, so most of the volunteers would obey the usual laws they always have, or society would be history. A way to find out if this is so would be to shield volunteers from all sounds as well as low amplitude sound of another room where another person was reading usual symbols or other methods of ESP proof.
If they’ve already proven ESP and it’s physical and the brain can be strengthened by web exercises, perhaps the ESP can also be strengthened. While most people in research can’t say with confidence if another person is lying, a few are “wizards” and have a higher rate of proof than the others, if any of the persons in this research are this good, it must be because of some physical imformation that’s between the wiz and the person unaware. So, as well as this being a method of proof of where the more ESP advanced learned their method by shields or usual aural surrounds of the low amplitude sound in the research between the decieved and the wizard, if the source of the wizards savvy is how they hear, this may be enhanced in some persons at least by the usual methods of improving hearing (for example ear phones that amplify up just the low amplitude sound and the usual sound they would hear in the audiophones just as usual).
This may explain why ESP is found to not be in most people like the wizards if most people have just usual hearing and this would have ESP not much improvable above a definite level since our ears remain much the same over months of ages.
One prediction of this ESP by low amplitude sound would be that more than just people named Louis living in St Louis, in level cities more people would know more about their neighbors because sound of any sort has more trouble traveling around hills than in a level line (after allowing for such as how often the neighbors move, ect. This may be achieved by just comparing related neighborhoods of the same city). There must be some way the genius and others know by some exchange of (physical) information. My belief would be that just as they have found in the Americana or Duke ESP research, it’s not where you know or you don’t. I’ve read that when you fall off to sleep or use some herbs it changes the ESP. Perhaps the sound of all the machines in the television station would jam most of the low amplitude sound. Personally as far as I know I have no ESP I’m aware of. Perhaps I have some I’m not aware of so that it increases the probabability I’ll think A or R when I’m in Aloha Airlines in the Old World.
All my neighbors seem to know me well (I live in a big room under the big top) even though I haven’t been able to talk to all of them, they treat me in a generally more considerate way than some on the other side of the town have when I’m over at the business district.
This explanation also may explain many of the coincidences we find in usual life. The inventor of the laser one AM in 1960 was out for a walk, he sat on a bench facing toward a house, and loyal listener that he was to crystal radio shows, he said Aha! MP3! Years later the inventor found out the house he was facing was where Alexander Graham Bell lived when he dreamed up the the first method of transmission of sound by electricity.
Have you had this happen to you? You think of an old neighbor you haven’t seen in 20 years, you go to the mall, and there they are the day after. In the last 20 years I’ve had this happen several times, it seems far too high to be concidence. I believe it’s these type of events that convince most people of ESP.
Because (as far as I know!) I don’t have ESP I only say here that subvocal speech may be amplified to have a cheap method of knowing well what’s going on. Good hearing may not be needed just a good amplifier if there is indeed always a physical connection between our thoughts ESPecially the verbal because of the larger amplifier we already have of our vocal speech amplifier, the shoulders and speech physiology we use to talk anyway. MRI are good at reading visual thoughts, though not yet speech, this use of subvocal sound science might be a simple method of achieving the goals of these machines without large machines, and no training would be needed. And once the sound is boosted, usual voice methods may be used to also find out if the observed might be someone who means harm or good, as in for airport security, and so on.
If this about subvocal sound is so we may find out about this when they multiply up the sound of our subvocal speech. The ear amplifiers that would multiply up the sound may leave all who are willing and able to hear with more insight than before. And of course using amplifiers to multiply up the subvocal speech and not just the heart and breathing through walls by radar at a given place and time would have social import.. Actually, the radar might be used to find speech, ect. through walls while sound would be reached by other machines.
