Putting My Mouth Where My Money Is

This is part of my ongoing experiment in to predicting stocks via psi. Learn more…

Russel Targ, in his latest book The Reality of ESP: A Physicist’s Proof of Psychic Abilities, tells us of his method for predicting stock market results. His technique is called Associative Remote Viewing, and while his results were noteworthy, it requires three people and a fair amount of setup and time.

Telepathy does not violate any of today’s laws of physics

With quantum physics, physicists are no longer bound by the types of Newtonian energy distribution, inverse square laws, etc.— telepathy does not violate any of today’s laws of physics.

Do We Only Focus on What’s Positive?

A common (though incorrect) criticism of positive thinking is that it means one must ignore/deny negativity. Doug Krug’s excellent book, “the Missing Piece in Leadership” sums up nicely the misunderstanding and the reality:

A frequently asked question is, “Are you suggesting that we only focus on the positive and ignore what’s wrong?” No. Telling the truth about what needs to be fixed is essential. It is the context that we bring to how we look at what’s wrong that makes the difference.”

This is an excellent distinction which dovetails well with my critique of Oliver Burkman’s “The Power of Negative Thinking”. Just as the questioner above misunderstands what is meant by focusing on what works, Oliver too misunderstands positive thinking as a requirement to avoid negativity: “A positive thinker can never relax, lest an awareness of sadness or failure creep in.”

Positive thinkers don’t avoid “what’s wrong”; it is how you respond to what’s wrong that makes the difference. Our cultural conditioning tends to have us fixate on the problem, which ironically tends to reinforce conditions that encourage the persistence problem while simultaneously making the conditions scarce that would foster a solution. Positive thinking redirects our attention towards focusing on the steps required to get to  the desired solution, “keep your eyes on the prize.”

John Cleese on Creativity

Think of creativity more broadly. It applies to every goal we have. “Make wrongs” are contrary, they stifle creative thoughts.

Heretical Science

Nobel Laureate Brian Josephson’s lecture on heretical science. He pokes holes in popular skeptic arguments against telepathy, whether water can have a memory (homeopathy), cold fusion and intelligent design. 1 hour, time well spent.

Available on the University of Cambridge web site.

I loved the name of the talk so much, I added that as a new category to my site; gotta go back and tag my past posts!

Propheteer

This word came to me as I finished my morning jog. I looked it up when I got inside; it already exists on Wikipedia, though its definition (“claiming to be a prophet in order to make money”) is too narrow, so I offer my own definition here: Continue reading
