how do you know you can trust all the books you get your info from? there are always many scams and many conspiracy scams going around

Here’s an example:

Daryl Bem-Concluded a rigorous eight year study on the subject of precognition, which involved 1000 Cornell undergraduates over nine experimental runs and resulted in unprecedented, almost incomprehensibly positive results. Through a unique “backwards” approach to psychological phenomena, Bem’s experiment affirms the likelihood of "retroactive" psi effects—or in this case, the ability of a person’s physiology to “predict” an upcoming event regardless of the individual’s conscious awareness of its impending occurrence.

As I’ve expressed previously, I encourage people to do their own research and form their own point of view and not take my word for it.

Daryl Bem Proved ESP Is Real

Which means science is broken.

“These dodgy methods were clearly rife in academic science. A 2011 survey of more than 2,000 university psychologists had found that more than half of those researchers admitted using them. But how badly could they really screw things up? By running 15,000 simulations, Simmons, Nelson, and Simonsohn showed that a researcher could almost double her false-positive rate (often treated as if it were 5 percent) with just a single, seemingly innocuous manipulation. And if a researcher combined several questionable (but common) research practices—fiddling with the sample size and choosing among dependent variables after the fact, for instance—the false-positive rate might soar to more than 60 percent.

“It wasn’t until we ran those simulations that we understood how much these things mattered,” Nelson said. “You could have an entire field that is trying to be noble, actively generating false findings.”’

This isn’t really about ESP, which most of us will tell you can’t be measured because you can’t measure chaos. It’s about research, and how that research has probably been screwing us over for a very long time.

Seeing the Past, Present and Future Now

Seeing the Past, Present and Future Now

FUTURE time, according to Theosophy, is included in both past and present time. With this assertion The Secret Doctrine anticipated modern quantum theories and even what might come — modern Theosophy is still way ‘ahead of the curve.’

An article in New Scientist this monthis titled “Why now doesn’t exist, and other strange facts about time” takes us closer to Mme. Blavatsky’s assertions. Quoting…

Daryl Bem Proved ESP Is Real - Which Means Science Is Broken

[cybermax]

It’s a bit lengthy but it’s a very interesting read if your into ESP, Parapsychology or regular psychology. Main point of the article is this. Either ESP has been proven beyond reasonable doubt, or something is wrong with the way research in the field of psychology and science is wrong. Or both. I’m a both kind of guy.

Feeling the Future: Experimental Evidence for the Illusion of Time

Feeling the Future: Experimental Evidence for the Illusion of Time

FUTURE time, according to Theosophy, is included in both past and present time. With this assertion The Secret Doctrine anticipated modern quantum theories.

Even the great Einstein disliked the idea that atoms might be able to simultaneously mimic each over huge distances, proclaiming it to be “spooky action at a distance.”

“Time is only an illusion,” H. P. Blavatsky insisted even endowing atoms…
