It's nothing new. People have been weaseling their way into blissful states like samadhi for years (see Ramakrishna).

I'm high right now.

Psychic Children Who Speak to The Dead

A widely held belief within the psychic community is that children (having been newly awoken from the "spirit world") are powerful mediums who can speak to the dead. This week Nat shows Aly all the evidence supporting the theory that children have paranormal powers. In this boundary-pushing episode, we will hear testimony from children who communicate with spirits and the parents that raise them. Can children channel the spirit world or is it all just baby-talk? Listen to find out!

The Point by John Dixon

Paranormally gifted terrorists call for paranormally gifted soldiers to fight back.  The Army searches for and recruits young people from across the country to come to West Point.  There they will learn about duty and honor, discipline and how to control and direct their talents.

Scarlett Winter has no interest in taking orders from anyone, but after absorbing a bomb blast at the home of Senator Ditko, her identity is discovered.  Colonel Rhoads gives a her a choice: enlist or be branded a terrorist.

Scarlett quickly learns that there is a massive difference between West Point, where normal cadets go through classes and training, and The Point, where people like her are mostly confined and tortured as both punishment and training.

Cruelty, a drive for results at whatever the cost, and an enemy who has been turning other posthumans into loyal followers.  But the enemy makes one huge mistake, targeting Scarlett's family.  Their actions do more to turn Scarlett into a weapon than anything tried by Rhoads and The Point.  

There's an undercurrent of Heinlein's STARSHIP TROOPERS mixed with a pinch of Card's ENDER'S GAME in how the military can get too caught up in training, talented and naive youngsters for missions without considering that their weapons are living, breathing, feeling individuals.  

Scarlett is not a likable character at the beginning.  Even though her parents and brother were part of the problem, ultimately it is her own choices that make her an annoying character.  But she grows through the book, slowly and reluctantly.  By the end, she understands more about the appeal of the tradition of the Long Gray Line of West Point.  

I visited West Point on a cold rainy day quite a few years ago.  I could relate to the twin reactions of the buildings being like castles or like prisons.  A quick read that built up to an exciting finish.  4.5 out of 5.

28 Mystery and paranormal powers from TROM

[ Mystery and Paranormal Powers ] Mystery: anything that is still unknown, not understood or discovered.

Unfortunately for many people mystery is not mysterious at all, because they immediately associate it with spirituality or anything else known to them. Mystery is used as an argument for religion. When something can not be explained at the time, it is attributed to religion, divinity.

It is a misunderstood concept by most people.

Remember: Mystery is anything that is still unknown, not understood or discovered.

Paranormal: What lies beyond what is normal.

Many claim to have psychic powers and many others strongly believe in them. From witches to today's psychics, all are the same, just the name is different...

After all, if someone really had psychic powers, which would be extraordinary to witness, why hide it?

It's pathetic that some people try to con others, it is even more pathetic that some people are allowing themselves to be fooled.

It has made an industry out of curiosity. A lack of education stands out among gullible people, and among those who orchestrate this.

I Didn't Ask for This

I Didn't Ask for This — a scene sketch

This can’t, like, really be happening to me. What have I done to deserve this? It’s been hard enough just trying to get through middle-school with nobody liking me, but at least there was always the hope that high school and college might help people forget how much they enjoyed looking down on me and calling me names. If they find out about this, about me, they’ll have an actual reason for…
