Is ESP REal?

Is ESP real?
I received a text question from a student of Eusebio High School in Pasig.
But before we answer that, let me rephrase the question- What is ESP?
ESP means Enhanced Sensory Perception. It is not as it was commonly think about as an Extra Sensory Powers.
Every being in this world has it. Even plant and animal has sense ability.
Human being is said to have five senses, i.e. Sight, Hearing, Smell, taste, and Touch. And they perceive their senses through their body organ like Eyes, Ear, Nose, Tongue and Skin.
The Largest part of these organs is the Skin.
And through the skin, we perceived the temperature, texture and solidity of an object.
Temperature pertains to hot and cold, the texture to the smoothness and roughness, while solidity to the harness and softness of an object.
The sense of taste enable us to determine if the food we eat is sweet, salty, sour, spicy and bitter.
The Sense of Taste somewhat connected to the sense of Smell which we can also taste the flavor of the food through its aroma. Through smell we could determine if it is fragrant or pungent.
The Sense of Hearing could make us determine if it is Loud or soft.
Our sense sight of course enables us to see the colors in our surroundings. Aside from that through sight, we could also measure distance if it is far or near.
All of this ability is innate to us. But if we are going to talk about ESP as being supernatural, then we could ask if ESP is real?
Again before we answer that question, I would like to direct you to how and where do our senses operate?
This question will lead us to answer it in a scientific manner.
As I have said, that sense perception is innate to all human being. Even plants and animals have senses.
Human beings have senses because we have what the science call sensory system.
Sensory system is a part of nervous system that consists of sensory receptors that receive stimuli from internal and external environment that passes through neural pathways that conduct this information to the brain and parts of the brain that process this information.
Where in the Human Body can be found the Nervous System?
Nervous system is the major controlling, regulatory, and communicating system in the Body. It is the center of all mental activity including thought, learning and memory.
In short, all of what I mention above is part of our brain.
So now, how ESP works?
ESP as what I’ve said is ENHANCED SENSORY PERCEPTION.
If you think ESP as having supernatural powers, it is a different subject.
The question would be, what does it mean to be Supernatural?
Is ESP a supernatural phenomenon?
If every being has ESP then could it be supernatural?
There are two definitions I want to elaborate about supernatural.
1st is supernatural means not natural or it is Artificial and the 2nd is it is above natural.
Our society set standards about what is natural or not. When things are innate by nature it was supposed to be Natural. But now-a-days, man can imitate the things what supposedly nature can only do.
These days, fresh fruits could be artificial but it will be branded as Natural. The norms of society are very deceptive. When the mountains before are immovable but now it could be divided into half. Before the clouds could only give rain to the people, now it could be planted.
Now-a-days there are no more natural left to us. Everything can be cloned or somewhat become supernatural.
Supernatural means above the natural level.
Human brains could achieve the abilities of being supernatural.
Going back to ESP, in order ESP to become a supernatural phenomena, it must however be integrated from one sense to another.
Let us say the ability to see the unseen, in Psyhcism it is called “clairevoyance or clear seeing” abilty. This ability let us to see things that could be hardly be seen with the naked eyes. People connotations with this ability are those who could see ghost or poltergeist.
But in reality, Ghost is an energy body in a form of plasma (a condensed gaseous state of energy being). This ability to see is integrated with the sense of perception through touch.
When a clairvoyant see ghost perhaps, they first feel it. The feelings could be felt like a cold moist. Then that stimulus will signal the sense perception of sight to see images of moist formed in human shape.
Another phenomenon is about seeing aura.
Aura is an electromagnetic force that surrounds the human body. It is like an atmosphere that surrounds the earth that protects the planet from invasive particles that is floating around the universe. (As we all know, the only thing that these planet of ours hold in to its place is through gravity).
As I have said, aura is an electromagnetic force that can’t be seen by naked eyes. It could be measured now-a-days through an instrument called kirlian camera. This device is used to measure and see aura.
Aura means light. And when light passes through a spectrum it will produce color.
Before, the method that been used to see people’s aura is through scanning.
It is done by focusing your eyes to a certain part of a person for about a minute, then afterwards closing your eyes to see colors.
Another method is by rubbing your palms together for about a minute, and then passes it over to a person’s body to determine the length and width of the person’s aura. The feeling of an aura is like a magnetic field that surrounds a person. Have you played with magnet before? Try it to experience what I mean about it. (Try to place two magnets side by side and observe what will happen.)
There are many more things that could be considered as supernatural but when ESP is used the supernatural phenomena becomes Natural.
In ancient times, people believed that illness is caused by evil and malevolent spirit. But through the evolution of man and the Technology of Science, man discovered that there are other factors that contribute to man’s illnesses rather than the spirit. One of this was the discovery of bacteria. And thanks to modern technology through the discovery of microscope that the unseen bacteria now can be seen.
Now, what about the 3rd eye or 6th sense relates to ESP?
How many eyes does a normal person have? And how many senses do natural people has?
These terms were just term. It used to describe things but actually inappropriate to use.
3rd eye was used as a description by Indian people that refer to the forehead or in the area that can be found in the middle of the eyebrow above the eyes. It is called ajna chakra.
Chakra is a Sanskrit word that means “wheel”. It is associated by Indian to the power center that is located in that area. In Japan, they called these “Tsubo”, and in Chinese it is called “Tsun”. Tsun, Tsubo, Chakra is now called acupoints. Or pressure points. To the medical science it is called “Mitocondrion”, the energy center of a cell.
The hindu-vedic belief about the third eye is that it refers to the function of the lower brain, spine, and eyes.
So what about 6th sense, or mind reading, telepathy, telekinesis or psychokinesis?
Ok. That is a good question. But I will give back the question to you, where is the mind located? Is it part of the human body?
Is mind the same with the brain?
No. The brain is a human organ where mental activity including thought, learning and memory are processed. The mind is outside the human realms. There is no scientific evidence that our body produce thoughts, inspiration, idea, and so on and so forth. The brain could only process it but the mind can only produced it.
Let us put it this way.
Write now, I am writing this essay to you. But where all of this came from? I might get it from a book or from another source material. But the point here, thoughts are not produced inside our body but came from an outside force.
The Greek term for the mind is “Psyche”, which also means “Soul and Spirit”.
Soul and Spirits are unseen. But they are always present, like life or air is not seen but it was there. The unseen life is only manifested through us.
Let me give you another example.
You have probably a cell phone? Isn’t it?
Your Cell Phone could not produce text message unless you key in your message in it. Your cell phone only processes your message and transmits it through radio wave and been received by another cell phone.
It is the same with the mind. Your mind is part of a whole universal mind that is connected to one another that is processed by our brain.
Our brain works through the consciousness of our selves. And our consciousness is works through the bio-electrical activity in our brain that been measured by an electro-encephalogram.
When this device is put up into our head, our consciousness is measured in form of waves.
According to psychology, there are 4 level of consciousness.
- Beta level or the conscious mind- which is the area of the alert, awake mind. Actions, decisions, muscle and speech are done on this level.
- Alpha Level or the subconscious mind- is a level of the mind where the brain is relaxed but alert. On this level concentration, relaxation, meditation and hypnosis are made. It is maintained and level regular pulses when using meditation, hypnosis, and some enhancing sense perception exercises.
- Theta Level or the super conscious mind- creative imagery, computation on deep mind level is made on this level.
- Delta Level- this is the level of our consciousness when we are asleep.
- Gamma level- it is still unexplored but this level were observed in individuals who are undergoing crisis situation.
Now how, ESP works in order to prove that it is real?
In developing ESP, there is researched formula in doing it.
Conscious + Subconscious + Super Conscious= ESP
The conscious mind decides what is desired, makes decisions, chooses what programming is to be done, which problems are to be worked on, or what skill is to be learned.
The Subconscious mind accepts the direction of the conscious if put into simple words and commands. Retains the suggestions that are programmed into it and causes the results to become a reality.
Super conscious mind is the third factor. It is the portion of the mind that contains access to the collective unconscious, the pool of awareness and knowledge, doorway to true mental power. Perhaps mans connection to his creator and to cosmos.
Proving ESP by answering questions like this is a hard task. And it can’t be prove easily towards skeptical mind. A six page essay is not enough to learn about ESP. But by experiencing the ability by your self is the only best way that I could say to prove the reality of ESP.
There are many groups of researcher on this topic has immersed since 1960’s. And even up to this day, school of thoughts has been established to prove the reality of these phenomena.
The great Dr. JB Rhine has devoted his life in Duke University in 1930’s in this field of research. And even great military leaders are using this ability in the so called psychological warfare among nations.
The question on the reality of ESP is like a Millon Dollar question to be answered. In the midst of the world economic crisis, is this question relevant or not?
For me, as a respondent, as a researcher, and as an individual who is also seeking for answer of truth regarding to this question; I found the topic very relevant to us, specially, now-a-days.
Developing our skills to have ESP ability would help us not to question anymore. By knowing the answer within us will make our life easier by taking action to the cause of a problem. Even the problem does not occur yet, we already have a solution.
If everyone is sensitive enough to sense each others need, we could immediately find solution to our problem.
Having this ability does not make us fatalistic or fanatic. But having the ability to perceive things before it happen to us will make us more efficient and effective.
Thus having an Enhance Sense Perception makes us also an effectively efficient Sensitive Person that immediately response for a solution.
Till here. Hope you enjoy.
