Not sure if the above is actually a word, but basically ESP, telikinesis and all the rest - what does everyone think, do you believe or not?

There's a whole load of info on it in New Scientist this week and I find it very hard to believe, but it got me thinking about 2 things, 1) that I was reading recently that there is a theory that through instinct we have evolved the ability to sense when someone is looking at us, which I find hard to believe as that would mean that we do have psychic powers of some sort and 2) that I watched a programme once that said that they have proved (yeah right) that you can actually work muscles by thinking about moving them. Their 'statistics' showed that if people thought about moving their thumb they actually developed muscles, so in effect, you can work out by just thinking about it. It was a programme about your 'qui' (think that's how you spell it) mind over matter (Shaolin Monks, etc.) which I am really interested in cos I think mental strength can help so much with your health, and stress can cause serious illness.

So I am interested in stuff like that and I think there's more there that we have to learn, but the psychic stuff and telekinesis is (for me) too far-fetched.

Also, Forest Fan - what does religion think about this? Well I suppose religion agrees with it cos God's telikinetic and therefore so must Jesus be.

Whad'ya reckon?

I had a raelly bad pain in my foot as I was walking along the other day, and it was really, really cold. So I told myself that it was all in the mind, and the pain went away, and I didn't feel the cold anymore. So the mind can block the senses, and you can probably train yourself to block out pain, cold, etc through meditation and become one with yourself.

So yes, ghosts are real.
