The "sixth sense" does not render itself to scientific experiment easily because it is not always functional at will, but appears to occurs sporadically. It may be one of those effects, analogous to a winning streak in gambling. For example, we take a person, who just claimed they won the jackpot (they did). To prove this is real we set up an experiment to have them repeat it for the scientific community. If he can not we may conclude, winning streaks do not occur and they have no basis in provable science. This appears to be a place where a rational scientific method may not be the method of choice to settle it one way or the other. It may require chaos theory or statistical predictions to help narrow down when it may occur.

I think that the sealed off sections of the brain may hold the answers to many of these seemingly sporadic happenings but i would like them to be proven as i believe telekinesis is the best power to be able to have.

What do you mean "sealed off sections of the brain?" Using the language of neuroanatomy, can you please elaborate, and also explain why this is "sealed?"

I don't believe in any of the alleged supernatural senses. There may be something real about intuition but I think it's likely a natural brain process we just don't understand yet, if it exists. OTOH, I don't know if it qualifies as a sense since all of the other senses have sensors built into the nervous system and there's no equivalent for intuition.

Well, I said it once but I'll say it again, I don't believe in any of the alleged supernatural senses.

I was going to, but I was afraid that you might cause my innards to explode or something.

#1, making an electric wall clock run backward.

All you need is a friend who is gullible and likes to run his mouth. Catch him when he is watching the clock and get him to look away and claim very whole heartedly "look I made the clock ruin backward!" Of course you say "man! you missed it, don't look away this time" then as he stares at the clock make sure you make him wait long enough for attention to wander then proclaim again " Damn, you missed it again" If you picked the right person after a few of these he begins to see that the clock is running backward even though he really didn't see it. Then he goes around telling every one what he "saw" voilà, instant telekinesis!

#2 Blinking/exploding fluorescent lights. first you scope out fluorescent lights that are already blinking/malfunctioning in some way. then you time the blink (yes it is usually a regular thing) then you tell your coworkers you are going to make the light blink, then in a commanding voice you point at the light as it goes out. I used to do this all the time and no one caught on at all. fortunately there were thousands of lights in my work area and a good percentage of them would blink at certain times of the day. Most people never see them blink or don't pay attention. the exploding one was a fluke but you can believe it added to my reputation in a big way.

#3 OBEs, I really can't explain those, they really seemed to be real.

#4 street lights, again timing is crucial, I used to jog at night and I noticed that some of the street lights would go out from time to time, I also noticed the lights would flicker at a very fast and hard to see rate just before they went out.. Once I knew which lights went out and had the timing right it was easy to fake the whole walking under the lights as they go out thing.

#5 the telephone calls were easy, most people don't remember the ordinary only the unusual. so no one noticed when I went to the phone and it didn't ring. but when I went to the phone to use it and it rang and it was my wife I made sure everyone knew. since my wife would call me several times a night it was a sure bet we would cross lines from time to time. Since no one remembered the times when it didn't happen but remembered the times it did.....

#5 the death dreams, once you have a reputation for being psychic you can claim almost anything and have people believe it!

It's all smoke and mirrors, but I did get my office out of it and a lot if information about how people think and perceive the things around them. A lot of people really want to believe in strange things, when you give them a reason to hang their need for the unusual on they take it hook line and sinker.

I used both as often as possible back then. I grew tired of this shit after a several years but I tried it on my sons when they were young and they caught on very quickly. As a matter of fact we team up on my wife to convence her of sillynes, she doesn't belive anything any of us say any more! Spoil sport!
