i downloaded the book but couldn't go past two pages.. The whole concepts and lingo are really heavy. I was turning to and fro on my bed trying to process just a few sentences. But its table of contents has been sparking curiosity in me so i know im definitely not going to have peace of mind till i read the book. Lol.
I'm currently on the 15th hour of listening to this and can't claim it gets any easier.

He is consciously writing in such a way as to make one consider what he might mean, which forces one to use one's own mind to consider what one has heard (or read, if one can read it, to wit I confess I can't).

Every chapter at least 10 times and I still wonder if I'm getting it, though aware how it's influencing my thought, which is its purpose I dare say.

In 2000, I used to wonder on my balcony at 1 Enoma Street how all the people I saw walking up and down Ago Palace Road would eat, and guess this is the new strategy.

Not true, basilico. To debunk is to show with fact and verifiable evidence its lies and not true. But facts and evidence have never mattered to you maga.

There's a difference between being wrong, and knowing the truth and lying about it I'd have thought, but the qanon strategy is truth distortion, so I'm the least surprised at you.

One admits when shown they're wrong, while the liar adamantly insists on mules2000 and ends up in jail for it.

Good that this thread has made me to recollect that incident . I would be using it one of these days to show what I know about how the human mind works . Thank you
I have agonised for days over this, and only now thought I can capably give a response, considering our last engagement, but try I must.

My issue is with "to show what I know about how the human mind works", to be precise.

First, you have come to recognise how your one human mind worked in one single instance and assumed to therefore know (I have deviously left out your "about", note), how the human mind works. And not only that, you intend to show.

If [in your mind] you have come to a recognition of an experience you had in the past, don't you think you might recognise other experiences you have had in the past and even those you may have in the future too and therefore further learn how your mind works, and even train it to work much better?

Point is, your mind worked while the minds of your colleagues who stood confused did obviously not work, so assuming your mind works like "the human mind works" assumes everyone's mind works like your mind works, which your narrative has shown not to be so.

Saying that, we all "show" what we know, just that some know there's a lot more they don't know, so I learn more to reduce my ignorance instead of asking others to believe in my ignorance. Though, I would be delighted if I could find someone who'd believe in my dream million pounds.

Apologies for not making this easy and straightforward. I wrote it for your mind which I feel will decipher it.

I once rescued a colleague, who was being electrocuted in a factory where I worked when I was 19. . Till today I cannot explain how I suddenly found myself in front of the switchboard to turn of power as my other colleagues stood confused and not knowing what to do . It was as if a greater force took control to direct everything . I wasn't thinking at all .
Though you were not consciously aware, you had previously acquired the knowledge to place yourself in front of the switchboard to turn off the power plus you consider others. Those who lack the knowledge you had stood confused because they did not know.

justlove91, you asked about me and hospital. Ma was a nurse when I was a kid. And forced on her by the poor in the neighbourhood was free health care, the most dire being helping them give birth. It was always an emergency, and you wouldn't believe the number of times I boiled hot water in the middle of the night. They came to ma because they could not afford to get to the supposed free general hospital. And ma, knowing they were poor, had a rule that maternity work was free for the woman, though ma would harass their usually lazy husbands till they paid something. The women mostly named their daughters after my mother, which she was proud of, though knowing my ma I wouldn't put it past her if she insisted they must when she said push. She savvy and devious like that.

Just saying so you might consider one of my motivations for building a hospital with my dream money if you can help make it real long enough to spend it.

Ha! Thief, lol..

But your million pounds wouldn't last nah because the spirits have to return the ectoplasm back to the medium and sitters, the materialization is temporal, so you will just get to touch and smell your million pounds but wouldn't take it home.

Lol..
You and hospital...... 5&6
So, basically, the million pounds will be like it was in my dreams where I touched and smelt it and it disappeared as soon as I woke up?

Hopefully, when I come to buy something from you with my dream million pounds that did not last, you will tell me to fuq off instead of being convinced to believe the million pounds in my dream is real as you are trying to do to me with a spirit that is not lasting that is clothed in ectoplasm that does not last.

I hope you don't think of me as some simpleton ready to just believe in anything. You see, after I left Islam, I became very cautious with holding any position until I've thoroughly gone through available data on the subject.

When I first heard of Mediumship, I was skeptical also at first (WTF do you mean spirits can materialise), but after going through copious amount of data on the subject, I now believe (remember, not know) in it's claim.
So basically, you do not know. You just believe despite not having evidence the claim is true.

That, I tend not to do, since I can continue to seek evidence that will prove it true or not. And then will I know.

justlove91:
@bolded
I love that attitude, and you can go through the evidence available yourself (with is alot) just as I did and come to your own conclusion on the subject.
But I tell you buddy, Wikipedia is not the place to go. If you need material on the subject, I'm happy to help.
You are funny thinking buda thinks Wikipedia is the place to go, but I guess you'd say that because you don't know buda.

As a rule I do not provide books to prove my point because they are like Bible verses where a contrary verse (book) can be provided that contradicts any I provide, especially since each understanding of the same book may differ too. I after all would have considered many sides of a subject before I claim to have knowledge of it.

What Wikipedia gives is a very short snapshot of what is generally agreed upon about a topic, and for here it serves its purpose, which is for those interested to have a kind of syllabus on which to start their own search for information so they may know what is already known and build on from there for themselves.

I rely on the minds of those I engage with to separate the wheat of knowledge from the chaff of ignorance and determine for themself what they want to believe or not or know instead. And I do enjoy finding out how people reason and see how they evolve over time.

justlove91:
The claim now is "spirit can cloth themselves in physicality such that people can now see, hear and touch them" investigate the available copious written data on that.
And waste my time on nonsense? Now why would I do something so stupid when I can instead be investigating how to make the million pounds I dreamt I had last night appear in my bank account?

Surely, before clothing themselves, I'd need to convince myself spirits exist, don't you think? And after having investigated the existence of the super spirit gods and found they only exist in the minds of those in whom they are created, why wouldn't I investigate your mind and how you think and reason instead since you are presenting here and real before me in spirit and all?

It is you who have chosen to believe, justlove91. I have done enough work to know that the spirits many have claimed exist do not exist, so there's nothing to be clothed. The only thing that would convince me is a spirit, presented before me that I have tested and confirmed to be a spirit, clothing itself. And please know that my test might include and would not be limited to sticking a knife in the spirit to ensure it is a real spirit, along with the previous mentioned tests of my own senses and it's so called ectoplasma.

This I must say. I find it odd that you would be trying to convince me to accept your belief as valid without you providing any evidence. It is like asking me to believe in a god that you do not know exists, or me trying to convince you to accept my dream million pounds for a spanking brand new red Ferrari. That said, I plead guilty to trying to convince you of what I know, or at least compelling you to continue researching until you stop believing, and instead know.

This is not unique to America alone, its happening in many western countries which is why there are more calls for protectionism
Not unique at all. And protectionism wouldn't save them because they too must sell to somewhere.

Biden restricted sale of high end chips to China today while it's being reported sale to date of iPhones in same China is disappointingly 4.5% below last release. Basically, don't sell Intel and Nvidia but sell iPhones. Can't be sillier than that. Meanwhile, China just need to stop buying American grain and thereby influence American elections.

Pensions. That's what I blame. When Ford sold its first car none of its cost was pensions. Now, with loads of pensioners, imagine that added to the cost of making Ford, plus all the corruption. It's why made in America is so expensive and easily undercut with cheaper made elsewhere. And money does like profit.

America has been rotting for decades now, as we see in its debt. I just do wonder how it will play out and fear it favours the likes of dump in the short-term.

Thankfully, there's fracking. And gas. And Hamas to fight a war against.

Seems you don't know much about seance. The purpose of the sitters is to supply(together with the medium) a substance called Ectoplasm which is then used in turn by spirits to cloth themselves in other to appear physically to the eye and touch of human.
As in, the spirits clothe themself in ectoplasm to appear to be there? And séances? What next? Reincarnation? Resurrection of the dead?

I'll tell you a story. Na. I'll search for and post it at the end for I have told it many times before I'm sure. It would help you know where I have evolved from perhaps.

Trust me, if I don't doubt those clothed spirits, I definitely will doubt my own eyes and moreso my mind for being so easily fooled, and I will check I have not been drinking or that someone spiked my drink. And I'll check the brand of my dope in case it's been swapped for one that don't work for me. After then will I yank the cloth off the spirit to see for myself and with my own eyes and with out sitters influence, what the spirit in the ectoplasm is.

I'm like that see. If Moses told buda God said I should wait at the bottom of the mountain only he should go up, I will tell Moses and his god to go ef themselves, and if god put me in some garden and forbids me his fruits of knowledge, not only will I eat god's knowledge fruit, I'd steal the seeds and plant my own and share it with humanity.

That the scientific community sees telepathy as pseudoscience doesn't mean it is. Remember it took them many years to establish the truth of hypnosis and lucid dream, even when people have been reporting them for years.
The "scientific community"? Why don't I scientifically peruse the evidence myself with my own senses instead of waiting for the high priests of science to come and tell me what I should consider pseudoscience or not, especially if it's a thing that has been claimed to exist for thousands of years with copious written records to consider and still hasn't been scientifically proven?

Science is after all the use of one's own senses to peruse the available data and analyse it for information so one can derive knowledge from it, as opposed to being told what to believe, which is more like religion.

Sorry, but even you here advocating for telepathy have not provided evidence of it's existence yet, so why should I who's read extensively on the subject be thinking contrary to what I've learnt?

Just think. If sprits can cloth themselves, then why can't God have created the heaven and earth and hell?

Anyway. The story.

budaatum:
Let me tell you a story.

Ma once took buda to see Oshofa because buda would not believe what buda was told. On arrival, a woli told everyone present to shut their eyes and let us pray, but buda, stubborn, did no such thing. When the woli finished praying, he said while everyone's eyes were shut, the throne like chair on which Oshofa would sit had swayed from left to right and had been lifted up to touch the ceiling. buda, who had been watching, said, "arh! That's a lie" and got a dirty look from the woli and a slap on the head from ma.

Ma and buda were the first people called up to meet Oshofa when he eventually came out. He looked at buda and said, "you don't believe what people tell you, do you. Continue that way. There are a lot of fake wolis out there". He then gave buda a bottle of water and told ma that she and buda should both sit down everyday and slowly drink a cup each and refill the bottle afterwards. Ma should also buy a crate of eggs and cook one for buda everyday. buda's family were seven at the time, and usually had five fried eggs with bread and porridge for breakfast on Sundays only, so you might understand that an egg a day was quite a lot of egg!

It is different nah, the writer of the book was a psychic researcher investigating the medium/sensitive, so why would he hire fake sitters to deceive himself?
He was also a photographer too and might have wanted to sell his photos or raise money to build a hospital to cure others, who knows. But why have any sitters at all who's sole purpose is to show others they are convinced so those others could join in?

True, let me rephrase the question
"Does science now have evidence to support the claim of telepathy"
Not to the best of my knowledge, no.

No I don't. But if a person insists it to be true when dealing with me I am not averse to using it to take advantage of them if I so desire.
