How Normal is the Paranormal?




The paranormal is interesting; it’s exciting; it’s revealing. It is controversial, mainstream, a way of life for some and something to be avoided by others. The paranormal is a divisive topic - a bit like politics and religion!

Today, the paranormal is popularised by images of ghosts, messages from the dead and reports of objects flying around rooms - but it is so much more than all this sensationalised hype. The paranormal is at the heart of what it means to be human, to be alive and to be dead! It seeks to challenge us to look at who we are, why we are here, and what are our beliefs about life itself, life after death, life before birth, even life between life!

The paranormal challenges us to question what we know about consciousness - not only human consciousness but all living consciousness (very little, apparently). What do we know about death (not much that the experts agree on, least of all when it actually happens)? What about the reports of levitating spirits and unearthly calm that occur at that moment of some deaths (but not all)? Is there a step-by-step process of preparation that takes place before the final encounter (a new area of study)? Do memories pass from one life to the next (reincarnation is widely accepted in some cultures, but not others)? If this is the case, then what is actually transferred, and how (personal genetics and human consciousness spring to mind)?

Yes, the paranormal is exciting but for so many more reasons than those that first spring to mind.

The paranormal is at the very heart of who and what we are. The study of the paranormal embraces the phenomena that cannot readily be explained by the laws of science and in my studies specifically this includes deja vu, apparitions, near-death episodes, out-of-body experiences, psychokinesis, premonitions, auras, mediumship, reincarnation, and telepathy.

So, what do we mean by these phenomena? Recently I completed a Master’s Degree at Monash University in Melbourne Australia and the topic of my dissertation was the paranormal, or more correctly parapsychological experiences. My thesis was based on the results of an online survey and to gather responses I needed to define what it was that I was studying. Here are the definitions I relied upon:

* telepathy is defined as mind-to-mind communication;
* precognition or premonition refers to the experience in which information about the future is obtained without the use of the five senses;
* clairvoyance or remote viewing encompasses the phenomenon whereby current information is obtained without using the five senses (ESP is a general term which encompasses telepathy, precognition and clairvoyance);
* psychokinesis (PK) refers to the ability of the mind to impact living and non-living entities;
* near-death episodes (NDE) are reported by people who have been brought back from the brink of death;
* out-of-body experiences (OBE) occur when the mind’s awareness is external to the physical body;
* reincarnation applies to the recall of events, people and places from previous lifetimes;
* hauntings include apparitions, and unexplained sounds and movements of objects, which are associated with particular locations; and
* poltergeists, which are a type of PK that may depend on the presence of some individuals who unwittingly produce the disturbing effects. More recently, poltergeists have become specifically linked to the presence of adolescents and children.

Some of the earliest reports of parapsychological phenomena are to be found in the ancient spiritual texts - The Egyptian Book of the Dead, and the Talmud, Bible, Koran, and the Kabbalah - and in the writings of the early philosophers such as Homer, Socrates, and Aristotle. Historically, the remarkable events in these texts have tended to be attributed to divine powers but more recently people have begun to question these teachings.

What, for example, is the difference between prophecy and premonition? Are miracles and psychokinesis symptomatic of the same thing? Is hearing the voice of God a type of clairvoyance? Are these the same experiences but under different names?

In some corners of academia, there are quiet rumblings to have these, and other matters involving the paranormal looked at more closely - but be warned. Studying the paranormal is a career-limiting move. Today, there are few parapsychologists in the world (under 50, at the last count) and even fewer who make a living from their expertise. Studying the paranormal is still regarded as more of a retirement hobby than a career choice!

The well-practised tradition of reporting paranormal phenomena continues today - in books, films and the media but with one very powerful addition - the internet. More and more, those who encounter the scientifically unexplained in everyday life are turning to cyberspace to make sense of what has happened to them. Some need reassurance; others are searching for like-minded people. Today, the paranormal is openly and freely discussed across websites, on blogs and in chatrooms. Yet, remarkably, very little formal research has been carried out on these everyday paranormal experiences.

In stark contrast to the abundance of paranormal self-reports on the web there is a noticeable shortage of contemporary research on spontaneous parapsychological phenomena. Unlike most academic research, my paranormal study was open to everyone aged 18 years and over (according to university ethical guidelines). Participants were self-selecting - believers, non-believers, paranormal experients and sceptics - all were welcome. All that was needed was an ability to speak English, access to the internet and a willingness to participate. As this was the first time such a study had been conducted it was impossible to know at the outset how many participants there would be. Fifty? A hundred? A thousand? Maybe more?

Over 4,000 people stormed the survey website to document their paranormal experiences and while the majority of the participants were from the United States of America, Australia, United Kingdom, and Canada nearly 60 countries were represented. More women than men participated, but that ratio was closer than most people would have guessed - 60/40. The majority of the participants were in the 18-35 year age range but they were closely matched by the 36-55 year olds.

Some results were predictable: spontaneous parapsychological experiences appear to be universal, and not limited to adulthood; deja vu was the most widely reported experience; and very few people reported experiencing near death episodes. Other results were far more surprising including the (statistically significant) tendency for women to report experiences of deja vu, apparitions, out-of-body experiences, auras, mediumship, reincarnation, and telepathy. Conversely, why do men and women equally report incidences of psychokinesis? Why did some countries report more of certain types of phenomena than others? And, why all the references to the female bloodline?

The survey raised as many questions as it answered! So, what could I do but listen to the requests to reopen it. My aim is to gather the largest database of information on spontaneous paranormal experiences. Would you like to contribute anonymously? Click here http://bit.ly/pVh5D

Paranormal or Not?



There is a discussion going on in the wider community - and it has been ongoing for a few years now - involving numbers. Apparently there are websites and email trails dating back years on this and the matter has not been satisfactorily resolved. My attention was drawn to this by a reader, Marianne, who asks:


Why do people keep seeing 444 all over the place? I've been seeing them for years and when I meditate on "why" I get no clarity. I've been seeing 4s everywhere for years. On licenses plates. Bills. Telephone numbers. DVD & VCR players, route markers, stamps, sales slip at grocery markets, etc. Absolutely *everywhere* - is there a rhyme or reason to this??  I would love a simple (good?) explanation if you have one. Thank you (smile).

Is this just a matter of where we put our attention is what we notice - like when we decide to buy a blue car and suddenly that's about all we see on the roads? Is this to do with the paranormal? I don't have an explanation? Do you?

In the following discussions under the Comments link below there are a number of recommended books. Here are some links.

Karma and the Paranormal


From Laura: Hi I feel like I have bad karma or some sort of negetive (sic) energy around me. It seems that I have the tendency to be impulsive, I get paranoid, then I lose friends. I let the best get to me, my feelings so easily hurt. I don't want to lose the people I love in my life.

I'm wondering if this really is karma as you suggest Laura. There are many more things at play in our lives than karma. I'm thinking there's our own genes; upbringing; the lessons we learn from others and from our own life experiences. The list is quite long.


Have you thought about talking to your friends or family about this? Often those closest to us can give insights on how we come across in life - and even if we don't want to hear what they are saying - if they know us well they can have good insights to share.


I'm certainly not an expert on karma but my intuition tells me this is something that you could tackle head on in this life - and with the help of those who love you. If there isnt anyone, then think about talking to a professional. It may only be a case of learning a few new life skills - nothing too heavy. And who knows, by doing this you may actually contribute to your karma balance!


I'll leave this open for insights from others ....

Ghost Blogging or Ghost Blogging?










It occurred to me today that you my readers may be interested in following the fortunes of other start up bloggers like myself. It's not often that we start our journeys in life together - but that is near enough to what has happened with me and 2MG. 



Who (or what) is 2MG you may ask. Well they are fellow bloggers (although one of them has yet to show up for work!) who have their own take on the paranormal. They aren't skeptics as such, more 'curious and out there' where apparitions in life (or should that be death?) are concerned. You can check them out here.


I love their artistry. There is certainly some talent here - and their lighter take on the paranormal is a good foil to my more serious approach. See what you think and even leave them a message here or there


Unlike Mike and Andrew at 2MG (the G definitely does NOT count at this point in time), many of the respondents in my original have seen apparitions - in fact multiple apparitions. Maybe it is the case that once we get the hang of it (whatever that means) we are able to see ghosts almost at every turn. Keep going Mike and Andrew. The world needs more ghost hunters - just don't scare them away please. I was going to say that the world needs ghosts. But does it? What do you think?


So, lets’s keep the conversation going, please leave your comments and questions.

The Paranormal and Schizophrenia




From Stephanie: Schizophrenia runs in my family, I believe that if doctors would study the spiritual aspects of schizoprenia they would find a cure. I know people need meds also. What do you think?


Great question Stephanie! Throughout history, many brilliant minds have had one form of mental illness or another and some of them have also been intimately involved in the study of the paranormal. Even today, I know of at least one very high functioning parapsychologist who has been diagnosed with Bipolar Disorder.


As far as the medical fraternity is concerned there is still along way to go before we will see the study of paranormal experiences being included in the curriculum. Having said that, however, inroads are being made in this area. One hundred years ago psychology was regarded with deep suspicion - today it is totally mainstream. 


Change takes time - lots of time! From the encounters I had during my paranormal studies with eminent academics (including senior post holders in the medical faculties), parapsychological studies are usually regarded as something to be undertaken in the twilight years. This has its good and bad points. On the plus side, there are well credentialed academics such as Dean Radin  
who have made a name for themselves in the so-called hard sciences before turning to studying psi. The fact that they have established credibility in another field adds to the credibility of their paranormal work. The downside is that it takes decades to become credentialed elsewhere!


Every academic study that adds to the database of knowledge on the paranormal helps move psi towards becoming mainstream. The current study being carried out by Sam Parnia in the UK, while not directly linked to mental illness, is another example of how credible medicos are bridging the gap between mainstream medicine and non-traditional approaches.


So, I guess that's my long answer Stephanie. My short answer is it will happen. Indirectly, it is happening already. It is just that the nature of science requires that progress be made in a careful and measured manner.

Paranormal Energies


From Nikki: I went to a psychic/tarot care reader/clairvoyant years and years ago and she told me I had a gift and that I already knew this. Which I did. I am sensitive to certain energies. But I never/forgot to ask if my gift had a name to it. How would I find out what that is? If that's possible.


Nikki We will need more info to answer your question. Can you describe what you mean by "sensitive to certain energies"?

Get Your Paranormal Surveys Here!!


People have been asking me to clarify the surveys I have running at the moment.


Essentially there are three.


The first is the reopened thesis survey on Spontaneous Paranormal Experiences. This is open to everyone - believers and non-believers, skeptics and experiencers. 


The next is a market research survey I've got running for those who have used the services of Paranormal Consultants such as psychics, clairvoyants, tarot card readers etc. This survey is aimed at gathering information on what people like and don't like about current services - those that are delivered face-to-face and those which are delivered via the internet. This survey can be accessed here.


The third survey is for Paranormal Consultants. This is particularly relevant to those practitioners who charge for their services.


Question: how many surveys is enough?

From Got-a-Question: Dreams





From Roderick: I often had dreams of snakes chasing me, but never biting me.  Sometimes the snakes are as large as buildings and sometimes they are small.  I also have dreams of someone, or something chasing me, but I can never see what it is.  It's always dark.  What do these dreams mean?



Hi Roderick

I'm not a dream expert - except from the viewpoint of experiencing them myself. And of course, opinion differs on whether dreams are paranormal of not.


There are a couple of things you might like to look at.
First, if you feel the images are symbolic then check out a few books on the subject - Amazon perhaps.


Secondly, however, if you feel that you actually have the answer inside yourself (and who knows ourselves better than us?) then perhaps go inward and see what you come up with.


I guess another option is that you may actually be frightened of snakes.


Has anyone more to add that could help Roderick?

The Universal Nature of the Paranormal


As my thesis confirmed, experiencing the paranormal seems to be a universal possibility. This is not limited to any country in particular, and I suspect it crosses every divide - race, age, gender, language - but with variations (more on this later). While the online survey was written in English and it did attract the largest number of respondents from the expected countries, it was the responses from the residents of the unforeseen countries that really caught my attention.


First, to the major contributing nations. Overwhelmingly, it was the Americans who checked in and contributed the most (62%), followed by the Australians (15%), British (8%), and Canadians (7%). One notable, and indeed unfortunate omission from the survey was the Chinese. Their absence was presumably due to the Government's tight controls on the Internet, rather than a language barrier or a lack of spontaneous paranormal experiences to report.


The small remaining balance of responses came from residents of 55 other countries. And what a list that is!


The second largest group of contributors were from South Africa, Ireland, Germany, New Zealand, and India with smaller numbers emanating from Austria, Belgium, Brazil, Denmark, Finland, France, Greece, Hungary, Italy, Malaysia, Mexico, Netherlands, Norway, Philippines, Russia, Singapore, Sweden, Switzerland, and Zambia.


There were also contributions from Croatia and Cyprus, Hong Kong and Hungary, Macedonia and Malta, Nepal and Nigeria, and Tanzania and Turkey. Antarctica was the only continent not represented (anyone know someone based down there? Let them know that the survey is now live once more.)


I must admit that it was surreal to see my Explanatory Statement translated into other languages including Russian and Finnish. Such a buzz!


Summary: the data supports the notion that spontaneous paranormal experiences are widely encountered. 


Question: Do you agree? Have your say here.

Ghosts, Spirits, Apparitions


From Michelle:
How can we tell if there is an evil spirit or friendly? I think I have two separate entities one older man and children. I was attacked but I rebuked it and hasnt attacked me since is it still here?

Picture by Torley

Hi Michelle

This is an interesting question that you've asked.

My thoughts are that evil is as evil does.

Which begs the question, are all spirits always one or the other - in all circumstances? Do ghosts have friends, foes, favourites? I suspect they do but I may be wrong.

I'd like to know what others think about this. Has anyone else been attacked?

From Got-a-Question


From Rebecca:

Do you think God gives certain people these gifts to interact with the

people that have passed on to the other side? I have had many

experiences myself, and have kept quiet for so long. Now my

daughters are telling me experiences, that they are having. I have

never told them about my experiences until just recently. god bless



Picture by Torley


Hi Rebecca

Thanks for contacting me.


My first thoughts are that the issue of God is a very personal one and there are both believers and

non-believers who experience paranormal phenomena. So the existence of god is a whole new,

very different discussion.


What I do find very interesting about your own experience is the pattern of paranormal encounters

within the women of your family. This was one of the patterns that shone through in my research.

Time and time again the respondents referred to generations of women within their own families

who had experienced psi. Interestingly, this pattern did not related to the male line!


What I would suggest is that when the opportunity arises you might like to talk to the older women

in your family. They too may have stories to tell.


I think the key to the paranormal, as with lots of things in life, is to be open to it, and open about the

infinite possibilities the universe contains.


I'd be interested to hear what the other women in your family have been experiencing.


Cheers


Rosemary

Paranormal Thesis Abstract - Part 2


There are rules and guidelines that pertain to abstracts and these cover such things as number of words, what is to be summarized, and what is not to be included. These instructions vary between universities.

Abstract continued........

The survey gathered information on ten categories of paranormal experience, namely deja vu, apparitions, near-death episodes, out-of-body experiences, psychokinesis, premonitions, auras, mediumship, reincarnation, and telepathy. The survey gathered statistical data on the type, frequency, and age at onset of each type of experience. Respondents were also invited to reflect on the possible causes and the personal impact of their own parapsychological experiences.


Several significant themes were identified in the data. These included: variations in the levels of incidence of the different types of phenomena; gender differences; national variations; and the trend for paranormal experiences to have a marked impact on the experients, their values, and the way they lived their lives. The research outcomes also supported the notions that spontaneous parapsychological experiences are universal, and not limited to adulthood. The majority of first encounters, of eight of the ten types of paranormal phenomenon, occurred in childhood - under 18 years of age, including a small number of pre birth experiences. In addition, the narratives offered numerous references to the perceived significance that race, genetics, and the female bloodline play in the paranormal experience.


The current findings both support the existing literature and suggest new research directions. At the personal level, for those charged with the mental, spiritual, and educational welfare of the individual, particularly the young, this exploratory study highlights the need to take spontaneous parapsychological experiences, and their experients, seriously. At the broader level, the findings confirm the ubiquitous nature of the paranormal and suggest both unifying and independent themes in the nature, incidence, impact and integration of parapsychological phenomena. Additional research is indicated and a catalogue of eleven recommendations for future study is proffered.

Paranormal Thesis Finally Catalogued!


My thesis has hit the shelves of the Monash Library. It's the final milestone in the long, drawn-out, formal process that sees an idea become a reality. That's the good news. The bad news is that the whole thesis is only available for viewing on campus. Will there ever be a day (perhaps Google will have to step in?) when all theses are available online? I hope so but it won't happen in the foreseeable future.

Anyway, I'll reprint the abstract in this and the next post. If you can't wait just click on the link above.

Anecdotal reports of paranormal experiences abound. In addition to the numerous books, films and media articles, there is a growing body of personal narratives which is readily accessed through online websites, blogs and chatrooms. By comparison, there is a paucity of documented research on spontaneous parapsychological phenomena in the academic literature. The current exploratory study sought to redress this imbalance by addressing the research problem: what types of paranormal phenomena do people spontaneously encounter, and are there unifying themes in the reports of these experiences?

This research followed the Mixed Methods Research model. Qualitative and quantitative data were gathered via an online survey instrument, which was written in English. Over three thousand (N=3194) self-selecting respondents completed the questionnaire and in total, 59 countries were represented. The majority of the paranormal experients were from the United States of America (N= 1979), Australia (N=485), United Kingdom (N=252), and Canada (N=228). More women (62%) than men participated in the survey, and while the dominant age group was the 18-35 year olds (45%), this was closely followed by the 36-55 year olds (43%).

To be continued.......

The survey is again live. Put your experiences on record now http://bit.ly/omr7y

The Silver Cord


One of the first, if not the first serious book, I read on the paranormal was The Silver Cord, Lifeline to the Unobstructed by Martha Barham and James Greene. This was the book that helped me realize I wasn't alone in knowing what I knew and I wasn't imagining things that couldn't possibly happen. It was published in 1986 and because I changed jobs every couple of year I can remember reading this when it was still hot off the presses, in 1987.

This book was like a breath of fresh air to me. I was working in the business world at the time and I can remember wishing for lunch time so I could immerse myself in this book and surround myself in possibilities. It spoke to me - and though it is 20+ years since it was published - it may also speak to you. The blurb promotes this book as a spiritual work and indeed, it could be regarded as such. Equally, it could also be interpreted as a treatise on the paranormal realms. Different language - similar concepts.

According to Amazon The Silver Cord is still available and on that site the reviews use words like "wonderful", "excellent", and "very persuasive" to describe it. I agree with these superlatives and I commend this book to you. Note: there are other books with the same title but different authors.

1000+ Responses so far!!!


With great anticipation I checked the results of the Paranormal Survey that Ive reopened and I'm so thrilled to see that over a thousand people have taken the time to completed the questionnaire. That's a great interim result - and if I recall correctly that's a faster rate than when I began collecting data for my thesis.

Thanks so much to everyone who has contributed. I intend to dip into the survey and bring you snippets from time to time.

For those of you who havent taken the survey yet, here's the link. I'm hoping that this will be the biggest repository of paranormal reports EVER.....

So spread the word - viral PR will keep this thing alive and growing. It couldn't be easier. No pen and paper; no stamp and envelope; just click, click click.

Happy Clicking

Cheers

Rosemary

Groundswell

Excuse me while I go off the topic for just this post. I've just finished a book and I'd like to recommend it. It's not about the paranormal but I could draw a long bow and say that it is about research.



All this new technology! Are you on top of it? Did I mention how much the internet changes while I had my nose in al those journals dating back decades? Well there's been this explosion of technological connections and I've just finished a great book that has in some ways brought me up to speed with Web 2.0 and social media. If anyone is interested in understanding - rationalizing? - this latest wave (before the next wave arrives) - I'd recommend reading this book. Sure it's a hardback and it's got graphs and statistics and an index and pages of notes in it, but it has so much more. I love the insights it offers.



Anyway, the book is called the Groundswell and the authors are Charlebe Li and Josh Bernoff. They are both from Forrester Research and, as Im a researcher well - that's probably another reason why I really like this book. Having read it, I feel like I've time travelled 5 years in 5 weeks and maybe, just for a moment at the end of the book I was up to speed on the internet. Of course, now Im behind again because the internet is evolving so fast! But at least, for a split second, I did feel I had a handle on what was making cyberspace tick.


If you've read this book or you do get around to reading it, drop me a line and let me know what you think. Happy reading.

Is there a Paranormal Explanation for Past Life Information?


ATTENTION ALL MELBOURNE RESIDENTS:

This inaugural free public lecture and discussion, hosted by the AIPR, will be held in Melbourne, Australia in August 2009.

The guest speaker will be Dr Jurgen Keil, psi researcher and psychologist from the University of Tasmania.

Jurgen's talk will be based on his overseas psi research, including a recent case in Turkey which has strong paranormal elements. Particular attention will be given to the theory that cases such as this one may be the result of anomalous communications rather than reincarnation.

The lecture details are as follows:

Deakin University
Burwood Campus
Building B, Lecture Theatre 12

Tuesday 4th August, 2009
6.00pm - 7.20pm

Further info from the *AIPC website: www.aiprinc.org
*AIPR (Australian Institute of Parapsychological Research) aims to improve the understanding of psi research in Australian Universities.
