Powers of the Paranormal

[Music] [Music] life is full of mysteries perhaps none more compelling than those that lie within the confines of the human mind [Music] most of us perceive the outside world by virtue of the five known senses but there are some people who claim they see the world through extrasensory channels who these strange powers of the mind truly exists can they be measured tested even harnessed or are they destined to remain beyond our grasp we'll seek the answers to these and other questions as readers digests mysteries of the unexplained presents powers of the paranormal [Music] in the middle of the night in the year 1700 the city fathers of a small French town went grave robbing they intended to steal from the tomb of one michel de nostradame better known as the prophet Nostradamus according to legend a document containing the secret to his extraordinary powers was buried with him in 1566 but Nostradamus himself had warned against disturbing his eternal sleep the man who opens the tomb when it is found evil will come to him that no one will be able to prove a medallion is discovered in explicably it is engraved with the present date the Year 1700 134 years earlier Nostradamus had foreseen this the moment of his desecration horrified the robbers leave the prophet to his peace [Music] our desire to peer into the future is universal it is the longing to command our destiny rather than be commanded by an unknown impersonal fate in every civilization in every corner of the world prophets have arisen and people have embraced their every word Nostradamus himself followed a prophetic tradition at least as ancient as the Greeks certainly his rituals seemed modeled after Bronchos one of the famed Oracle's of the great temple of Delphi [Music] seated by a smoking brazier Bronchos would conjure her visions of the future from the vapors in the air but by the time of Nostradamus those engaged in fortune-telling were thought blasphemous and malign a so called cunning men and wise women of the Middle Ages practiced their profession in secrecy and fear the Catholic Church song little difference between a soothsayer and a heretic indeed the Inquisition doled out a similar fate to both prophets were arrested and burned at the stake [Music] this was the climate of persecution in which Nostradamus practiced his strange arms indeed his interest in magic his ecstatic trances his writings and predictions all might have doomed a lesser man but so renowned was the mastery of Nostradamus but the nobility was able to protect him from the Inquisition's wrath Nostradamus walked tightrope between religious correctness of 16th century and getting himself burned at the stake he died in his bed so he was a success at not upsetting the church authorities too much but you've got to understand in the 16th century it was not so much that you were performing heresies but if you were indiscreet about it over 36 thousand words of prophecy flowed from his pen his epic work the centuries holds more than 900 predictions about the future of the world [Music] Nostradamus lived to see some of his prophecy is fulfilled the most famous concerned the death of the reigning monarch of France Henry the second in 1556 he forewarned the king that he would be killed in a joust the prophecy described in detail what happened this is what it said the young lion and the old lion will meet and ritualize combat on the field of Honor then he says he shall have his eyes pierced through the golden cage despite the warning and re-entered a joust his opponents Lance shattered as they clashed the splintered shaft penetrated the golden visor of the King 10 days later he died Nostradamus prophecies are couched in four lined rhymed verses called quatrains written in an obscure and cryptic style sprinkled with hebrew latin and portuguese words they are difficult to interpret [Music] some say his writings contain little more than fiction but others claim the various verses foretold the Great Fire of London in 1666 details of the French Revolution and the rise of Napoleon and Hitler volume 9 but train 90 declares in 1937 an infernal power will rise against the church this shall be the second Antichrist [Applause] [Music] the chilling accuracy of his predictions have ensured Nostradamus his place in history but what of his predictions yet to come [Music] today paranormal powers are making headlines some crimes that left law enforcement baffled seem to have been solved by psychics can they interpret clues and answer questions the rest of us cannot the Reader's Digest decided to put together its own team of paranormal investigators to find out sometimes you have to use alternative methods investigation to point you in the right direction and you have to keep an open mind as to all possibilities a little girl has been missing from her home in Rochester New York for two and a half years the longer she is missing the more surely chances of finding or a decrease time is running out we hired Nancy Meier a native of Pittsburgh Pennsylvania she has helped solve more than 250 police investigations all over the United States she claims a success rate of 90 percent Jim Wright has worked with Nancy Meyer before the important thing about working with Nancy was that she knew nothing about the case and there were several instances where we had her on the scene of the crime that she was able to tell us specific details about the case that she would have no way of knowing and also she had done some work for us in the way of sketches of suspects and a murder weapon and so forth that we were they able later to link up with some suspects my mind seems to be able to pick up a lot of information from photos of the crime scene that's what I primarily use or if it's a missing person I use photos handwriting samples maps to try and then all of a sudden I'll walk in on some part of the situation that will tell me you know this is what happened Maier needs very little to begin her search for the missing girl just a map showing where the child was last seen a photograph of the girl that clearly shows her eyes and a personal belonging it's kind of like watching a movie editing session it's you know there's a piece here there's a piece there some of it runs in a nice sequence usually it doesn't and trying to put the pieces together in a way that makes sense can be kind of mind-boggling it's very fast the images just fly through my mind Meyer has no prior knowledge of the case or the people involved she's very friendly outgoing kind of child very open child and I do feel that she had talked to him on at least three previous occasions but nothing in detail down through the centuries the mantle of prophecy has been worn by countless men and women a power claimed by many it is a gift received by few in our present century those with an enduring reputation for prophecy are rare indeed but one man's predictions have yet to be dismissed by history the earth will be broken up the upper portion of Europe will be changed as in the twinkling of an eye the greater portion of Japan must go into the sea his name is edgar cayce an ordinary man possessed by extraordinary abilities [Music] born in rural Kentucky in 1877 Casey was a below average student even his parents despaired at his inability to learn but in 1890 all that would change as young Edgar played baseball one afternoon a ball hit him near the base of his spine [Music] Casey didn't seem seriously hurt but when he went to bed and fell asleep he began to speak Kasey's words were not the ramblings of a fevered brain but precise medical instructions aimed at affecting his own cure his prescription called for a poultice of corn meal onions and herbs to be applied to his neck his amazed parents did as they were told the following morning all signs of Casey's injury had gone it seems he had just delivered his first psychic reading [Music] by the time he was in his 30s KC was regularly dictating medical treatments and prophecies [Music] his method was always the same falling into a trance-like sleep he began to speak out loud an assistant would transcribe his words upon waking Casey would remember nothing he became known throughout the Western world as America's sleeping prophet among his most accurate predictions the stock market crash of 1929 the timing interation the world war to the death in Office of John F Kennedy true to his unassuming nature Casey never thought himself unique he believed that everyone could develop psychic powers in one remarkable reading Casey strayed from prophecy and gave instructions on how to read another's mind [Music] first began between cells set a definite time and each at that moment put down what the other is doing [Music] do this 20 days [Music] you shall find you have the key to telepathy but if telepathy still seems beyond our grasp can we emulate Casey by harnessing other powers can we as Edgar Cayce claimed learn to receive messages from the future according to a recent study dreams are the most frequently reported vehicle for psychic experiences researcher alan vaughn believes in prophetic dreams I think everyone should realize that we have this extraordinary potential within us to dream about the future and this is part of our guidance mechanism this is what helps people create success either through their dreams or often people will have shall we call waking visions or hunches or intuitions of things that will work out for them Vaughn bases his belief on personal experience in April of 1968 he began to have a series of strange and disturbing dreams it was an election year US Senator Robert Kennedy was campaigning for the Democratic nomination for president [Music] over the next few weeks as Kennedy gained momentum Vaughn's dreams grew more vivid his sense of an evil premonition stronger the campaign was now in high gear as the crucial California primary approached Bobby Kennedy was looking good in the polls [Music] May 25th I woke up with a dream in which Robert Kennedy was being shot in the dream he was walking with some young people walking down a hallway and they were planning to go to a party it was it was at night and suddenly there were shots fired Vaughn tried to get a message through to the Kennedy campaign to no avail just ten days after the dream on the night of his victory in California Robert Kennedy was assassinated [Music] On June the fifth when I heard the news that Robert Kennedy had been shot it was most horrible feeling I've ever had in my life it was like I was guilty it's my fault because I had not been successful in warning him but as the news came in I was able to compare it with the dreams and there were a dozen points of Correspondence from a parapsychological point of view this was really good evidence could this tragedy have been averted might a better understanding of the hidden workings of the mind give us the power to shape destiny and fate for the last 70 years an American Research Institute has sought to answer questions such as these the rhein institute of parapsychology is in Durham North Carolina its director is dr. Richard Bruton he's convinced that there is a scientific basis for prophecy and other extrasensory powers my feeling is that if ESP is a human ability then by definition we all have it to some degree you know we all have intelligence of some degree but we all can't you know get PhDs so it is something we all have but we're going to see very large differences in terms of how people can deploy it how people can use it in their daily lives Broughton's convictions are based on the longest and most rigorous series of scientific studies ever conducted in the area of ESP the Institute's founder dr. JB Rhine was determined to put the new science of parapsychology onto a scientific footing to test the psychic ability of his subjects Ryan used a specially designed deck of cards called Zener cards the symbols on the cards were selected because they were easy to remember and of roughly equal visual weight carefully shielded from the tester Ryan subjects were asked to state the precise sequence in which the cards had been drawn from the pack his star pupil was Hubert Peirce on one occasion Rhine offered Peirce $100 for every correct guess he made he successfully predicted a 25 card sequence and pocketed $2,500 defeating odds of about 300 trillion to 1 by the 1970s Zener cards were no longer used to measure the minds influence on chance events computers had replaced them meanwhile Ryan turned his attention to remote viewing the ability to visualize an object or event from far away remote viewing is just a different name for extrasensory perception but when it's directed at distant locations but it's a kind of ESP where there's a sort of general free response on the part of the subject and described whatever he or she is seeing we all have the ability to imagine pictures in our minds but remote viewers can visualize reality [Music] remote-viewing offers the most practical value of all psychic skills and is frequently put to the test in the most simple experiments a subject is isolated in a room and is asked to describe a photograph outside the room despite having never seen the photograph the remote viewer then tries to visualize the image in his mind [Music] under perfect conditions such photographs have been described in Manute detail but some people claim they can bring these mental images into focus under almost any circumstances Joe mcmoneagle the most renowned remote viewer in the United States believes he can Remote View on demand the class of students at the Rhine Institute will watch Rick Monaco as he demonstrates his skill a computer has randomly selected the target image from a library of hundreds it has been sealed in an envelope and placed in a separate room jerilyn when I begin to Remote View I'm looking at the fragmentary or bits of pieces that are coming in very rapidly and trying to create some picture out of that these first elements come in very fragmented form they come in in symbology a lot of times like one of the things I'm getting is this sort of symbol that doesn't actually represent anything but what it does mean is it's probably a reflective surface of some kind mcmoneagle uses a kind of visual shorthand to describe the images he sees in his mind he visualizes elements of the photograph by broad characteristics like shape color and size the important thing about this consolidation is not to assume that the reflection is water or that this drop-off is a waterfall or anything like that you don't want to make any of those assumptions most psychics experience a similar jumble of images when attempting to Remote View putting the pieces together can be difficult [Music] mcmoneagle completed vision describes an image with a shadowed area in the upper right some structures on the left side a reflective surface on the bottom right [Music] in a drop-off in the middle in this case Joe's remote viewing is judged to be a direct hit we were so impressed by mcmoneagle remote viewing skills that we asked him to join The Reader's Digest investigative team Joe mcmoneagle experience as a psychic investigator includes 25 criminal cases he claims his crime solving record is 60 percent successful mcmoneagle is now set up to Remote View in his home in Charlottesville Virginia for a remote viewer it's much harder to find a missing person than to identify an object to our location you can develop some very detailed drawings of the location that a person might be held in or the location of say a missing body or something but the problem is even when the detailed drawing let's say it was a drawing of a trailer park there are how many trailer parks in America he needs the date and time the little girl disappeared nothing else mcmoneagle has been given no information about the case but at least one of his predictions will prove true [Music] she was playing on a bike at the time our head her bicycle with her I get a sense that she probably lost part of her clothing a shoe or sock or something she was taken by force she didn't have any idea who her kidnappers were one more facet of Joe McMahon agos biography must be mentioned he's a graduate of the most remarkable program in the history of American espionage Joe was a remote viewer for the CIA mr. Joseph Nick monocle received a legion of merit award which was given in part for providing invaluable information within a novel to intelligence gathering technique which was briefed at the highest levels of the executive and congressional branches of our government in the throws of the Cold War the CIA received alarming information that the Soviet Union was turning to parapsychology as a source of exotic espionage convinced that the Soviets were dangerously far ahead in the strategic use of psychic powers the United States retaliated [Music] in 1972 at CIA headquarters in Langley Virginia operation Stargate was born a team of US government psychics spent 20 years and 20 million dollars visualizing everything from the identity of KGB agents to the design of top-secret enemy submarines in 1980 the CIA psychics were asked to find out where Iranian terrorists were holding American hostages and after the u.s. invaded Panama in 1989 psychics were enlisted to provide information about fugitive President Manuel Noriega they were asked to provide a layout of the interior of Noriega his home the psychics delivered a top-secret report showing both the rooms and their contents [Music] finally in 1995 the CIA went public there was large media attention when the CIA finally announced their findings and ESP and the use of it the government are a right for ridicule our project however it really survives best with with responsible criticism we enjoy skeptics we in fact if we can't find them we'll hire them from somewhere if they don't volunteer we want skepticism because we improve our product we learn more about what's going on more recently the Stargate program was terminated despite some promising results it was considered too unreliable for military use after years of research ESP remains an enigmatic power my feeling is that this anomalous information extrasensory perception comes and goes and serve similar needs to creativity and we certainly can recognize great creativity and poetry or art but it's very spontaneous you cannot take a creative person and stick them in an artificial environments and make a masterpiece it doesn't work like that [Music] [Music] the story behind our psychic investigation is a tragic one Judy Gifford is suffering the pain of an experience that is every parent's nightmare [Music] it was early evening on a beautiful spring day her four-year-old daughter Caylee was getting in one last ride around the block before dinner it seemed like any other Monday Judy picked up Caylee after work [Music] it was around 7 p.m. that she last saw her little girl as the clock keeps ticking judy is desperate to find Kaley she's open to using psychic detectives to help maybe they can see something that somebody inside is not being able to see like the forest through the trees kind of scenario maybe our Police Department are looking at things and not being able to see the answer maybe an outsider can come in and see something that they can all over metropolitan Rochester on the southern shore of Lake Ontario Hayley's photograph has been distributed her smiling face is everywhere you know what it feels as though someone rips your heart out while it's still beating in their hand because that's what I felt like someone just stole my life which is my child remote-viewing may be gaining credibility but other paranormal powers seem more improbable and psychokinesis the ability to move objects with the power of the mind may deserve our skepticism if such a power exists the laws of physics will have to be rewritten as for the rules of the game of pool they'll certainly never be the same [Music] one person who achieved fame overnight with his supposed psychokinetic talents was very Geller a controversial Israeli claims to have been employing paranormal powers since he first bent his soup spoon at the age of four I sort of reserve judgment about mr. Geller and his spoon bending I've never worked with them it's the kind of thing where scientists generally like to stay out of you know the stage magicians craft because mistake magicians will always have the better of scientists no matter how well-trained they may be becoming Geller has been widely accused of fraud critics say he weakens the metal he claims to bend before hand or distracts the audience's attention giving him time to switch one spoon for another among the skeptics is Richard Wiseman an expert on the art of deception he makes his living uncovering psychic fraud often psychics are very opportunistic they'll walk into a situation not quite knowing what they're going to do they'll look around they'll take they'll exploit the moments where everyone's attention drops or suddenly everyone's looking in particular direction perhaps they'll tweak a spoon and leave it on the table bent and then tell me it's late to say you know hold on I'm concentrating on bending a spoon can anyone see bond that's bent that sort of thing but here in Paris we found a man who claims genuine psychokinetic powers we decided to put him to the test his name is John Pierre Girard in the 1970s he rode the coattails of Rudy Geller's Fame baffling audiences with his alleged ability to move solid objects with the power of his mind but like hurry Geller Gerard was widely accused of fraud eventually he dropped out of the limelight stretchin self-tan too flashy and done without scientific supervision I only do demonstrations for the media for the last 20 years I had been doing many experiments in laboratories in a strictly controlled scientific environment non-ahmadi appears I shall do so levy limit today Gerard has agreed to demonstrate his abilities under one condition that a properly controlled testing environment be provided a French magician named ranky his Gerard's monitor he is president of a French association that is often called upon to investigate claims of paranormal occurrences as a magician ranked he is familiar with all the tricks and illusions someone claiming psychokinetic powers could use to fool an audience an illusionist is the person best suited to Naga fraud absolutely all paranormal phenomena can be reproduced using illusion that is to say I can bend an iron bar move an object or do any of the sort of things but I use magic tricks to do it a glass table is set up so Gerard's hands are visible at all times Frankie has personally chosen and closely inspected the metal bars gerard will try to bend each is labeled with a different number to prevent gerard from switching bars during the demonstration the ten bars are made from a non-magnetic metal alloy they are ten millimeters in diameter and 25 centimeters in length we watched as Gerard went to work approximately 10 minutes into the demonstration the metal bar he held began to bend at first the bowing of the rod was minimal but Gerard continued to work taking breaks between each exertion after three sessions he had successfully bent a straight metal bar by 30 degrees this is the first time I've seen an effect happen so quickly shaiiaja presents as a problem without a solution I'm unable to explain even though I was right there I cannot explain I don't think any other musician could explain what he has done but Richard Wiseman who has performed hundreds of experiments with people claiming psychokinetic powers remains unconvinced I would love to see a miracle I would love to meet a genuine psychic and people often say well given all your negative results don't you become very cynical don't you think you're wasting your time but the fact is that the end of the day you know I would love someone to come through and prove us wrong [Applause] as our psychic investigation continues two competing visions emerge can't get past this feeling that she knows this guy because she's so trusting of him I have the feeling that he took her in a midsize car I get the feeling that it was a Buick LeSabre and it was kind of a metallic blue the van that was using the kidnapping was sort of an off-white with gold markings or stripes and it was stolen he has dated her in some way I would think logically chloroform but I don't smell that so it's it's something else but he's knocked her out I have the van departing the area by accessing a four-lane interstate Road and that was essentially going south he's heading south on 490 and he goes about five and a half to six miles and he bears off an exit to the right really didn't take her with the intent of keeping her she was delivered somewhere else he sexually assaulted this child and in the process of doing that she was asphyxiated I have a sense that she's still alive some physical phenomena cannot be explained without reference to psychic power this is a quick and very dangerous thing and it's very powerful turns a lot of terror and fear into real high excitement overcoming fear and conquering the Cowles is seen as a powerful and life transforming ritual it's a metaphor for personal transformation personal power people can see the possibilities for themselves that they can do more than they think they're capable of doing here in a friend's backyard near Seattle Washington Michael McDermott regularly organizes firewalking ceremonies [Applause] firewalking has been adopted by several new wave groups it's also used as a motivational tool in self-help seminars I tell people to pay attention to their intention because we create everything in our lives from what we our intention is if we're clear on that intention then we can create what we want to create if we know what it is we want McDermott is absolutely focused when he fire walks everything but the fire disappears it's a state of mind that parallels the trance States found in many cultures there's Hindu and Tibetan Buddhist firewalkers and also the Native American traditions of course there are examples even a fire walking in the Bible the very fact that some people apparently are able to go through the ceremonies and not suffer harm gives us the exciting possibility that whatever this capacity whatever this potential is it lies within all of us while there are many modern examples of France induced states they pale by comparison with the altered states of consciousness seen in traditional cultures trance States were there for prophecy healing or mind over matter seemed to be a universal feature of psychic power the ethnographic record leaves absolutely no doubt that in most societies of the world the desire to invoke some technique of ecstasy to soar away on the wings of trance to get into some kind of distant metaphysical realm is a essential part of the human desire it happens everywhere in a hundred different forms the desire for such transcendence seems strongest in the east in the Himalayan lands of India Tibet Nepal and Bhutan people have long practiced the ancient techniques of yoga and meditation Indian holy men also known as sadhus may spend years in quiet contemplation remarkably some seem able to override the laws of physics and biology with the power of their minds to explore the mysterious powers of the meditating mind a Harvard University medical team undertook a series of expeditions into northern India in the 1980s the expedition leader was cardiologist dr. Herbert Benson Benson's team came well-prepared they wanted to ensure that any phenomena they witnessed could be scientifically validated their equipment allowed for accurate measurements of stress levels heart rate and body temperature with the blessings of the Dalai Lama dr. Benson became the first Westerner to study the previously secret rituals of - mo yoga we went to the experts Tibetan monks who were in legend allegedly able to dry icy weights wet sheets on their naked bodies to melt snow around them to do competitions those who melted the greatest amount of snow would win the competition in an unheated chamber of a monastery with snow on the ground outside the monks began their meditation wrapping their near naked bodies in soaking wet sheets they seek to invoke a spiritual heat against the freezing cold first they bring themselves into a quiet state of meditation then they visualize heat coming from the outside and entering their bodies radiating up and down a central channel for the monks this heat is a spiritual energy that burns away the defilements of improper thinking the natural response of the human body to extreme cold is uncontrollable shivering yet the monks do not shiver in fact within five minutes the monks are generating so much body heat that the sheets begin to steam dr. Benson has discovered these monks can raise their body temperature at will by as much as 17 degrees within a half-hour the sheets are completely dry well this is a perfect example of a mind body effect that we would think would previously be impossible that through thoughts the body could generate enough heat to actually dry icy wet sheets on your naked body and 40 degree Fahrenheit temperatures it's remarkable on one occasion Benson's team hiked to an exposed ledge at 19,000 feet they observed a group of monks spend the night in sub-zero temperatures with only thin shawls for protection the mastery of tomoow yoga allowed them to survive unharmed the monks provide absolute proof of the minds ability to control the body but how does it work back at Harvard University's mind-body Institute dr. Benson and his researchers are able to secure precise measurements of the physiological effects of meditation [Music] in repeated experiments they have demonstrated that different states of mind produce detective Lee different electrochemical signatures in particular during the practice of meditation a unique brainwave pattern dominates the electrical activity of the brain [Music] according to Benson the significance of such physiological changes is enormous there the indicator for a healing power that all of us possess what we now know is that if you think in a certain way your metabolism will decrease your blood pressure will decrease there's decreased heart rate decreased rate of breathing and feelings of peace and tranquility there is nothing new about what we're talking whether it be repetitive prayer a rosary in Catholicism Domenic in Judaism centering prayer in Protestantism or yoga or meditation they all evoke the same physiologic changes the power of healing is in everyone's grasp many Western doctors remain skeptical about the role of the mind in medicine but their doubts are eroding in the face of mounting evidence that the human immune system is regulated by our state of mind [Music] the body's healing system is far more powerful and complex than we ever dared imagine the mind has many ways to influence the body [Music] dan Kaplan is the former president of the National Federation of spiritual healers in the United Kingdom spiritual healers believe they can assist the body's own recuperative efforts and help return a patient to good health I'm acting as a channel for a healing energy which we believe comes from a divine source and channeling that energy to our Deen for the restoration of her energy system so that we can try and fight this problem that she's got this deep problem just quiet yourself down as usual ya don't have anything crossed just think of something peaceful in your mind Eileen was diagnosed with liver cancer in December doctors gave her three months to live she began chemotherapy with little hope of recovery two months later out of desperation Eileen went to see Don Copeland she continued chemotherapy I suppose I was skeptical not knowing quite what went on and basically I think I was so petrified of dying having been told I've got months to live and I was really really frightened of that and Don talking to me each and every weakest has taken the fear away once Eileen is relaxed Copland goes over her body with his hands pausing on areas where the ailment originates he says he's transferring healing energy into her body this thermal imaging camera shows heat variation white signifies the warmest areas red yellow green and blue indicate progressively cooler temperatures I feel a heat and when he does hands on on my stomach I mean I really feel then as if I'm on fire I'm very very fortunate that someone upstairs has selected me to be a channel to be able to do this and over the last 20 years many hundreds of people have been very glad of that facility after only four months of healing sessions with Copeland Eileen's tumor and shrunk so much that she ceased chemotherapy as of today Eileen's cancer has been in remission for a year her doctor requires only occasional visits [Music] psychics Nancy Meyer until mcmoneagle after on very different conclusions about what happened to Kelly Paulton Meyer believes the missing child is dead Joe thinks she's still alive unfortunately just 10 days after our visit to Rochester Meyer was proved correct we've just learned that in fact there is a suspect in custody in the disappearance of Kelly and Poulton unfortunately the little girl has been murdered two and a half years after she disappeared the body of Caylee Bolton was found in a factory water tank on the outskirts of the city of Rochester [Music] a suspect led police to her body after confessing to the killing the suspect in custody lived in Kelly's apartment complex and she knew him was not afraid of him not wary of him at all so he must have been either living in her immediate area or was hanging out in that area for several weeks prior to this abduction the suspect drove a blue Chevrolet to dump her body I get the feeling that it was a Buick LeSabre and it was kind of a metallic blue Haley Bolton was strangled to death she was asphyxiated the evidence for paranormal powers is compelling the source may be mysterious there are manifestations irregular but remarkable abilities do exist it may be something that's really evolving along with consciousness consciousness and the human species seems to be relatively recent maybe extrasensory powers or something that is evolving along with those and we've yet to just understand them 500 years ago Nostradamus risk the anger of the church to practice his rituals of prophecy [Music] today the psychic abilities of Joe mcmoneagle have received the sanction of the CIA a dramatic shift in attitudes has certainly occurred but perhaps a more fundamental transformation is also taking place the evolution of the paranormal powers of our minds [Music] [Music] [Music]
