[quote="Kalendaine":/\[url=(https?:\/\/[^\s\[]+):$uid\](.*?)\[\/url:$uid\]/if851f83]Personally, i believe in all of it - psychic, corporeal changes, and mental changes. I have also seen, firsthand, evidence for bodily change in one of my subjects, whom i've hypno'd -- naming no names. Psychic powers, ESP, astral projection, PK, etc --- i have looked around and around, but can find no solid proof that they DO NOT exist. Instead, it seems to be the other way - for instance, the non-existence of telepathy would violate at least three major laws of physics. I try to do a LOT of research before stating my opinion, and, naming no names, i think many others could benefeit from this stance.

Kalendaine, I find your post fascinating. Interesting observations. Interesting proofs. I am impressed that you do a lot of research before you state an opinion. In the areas where you specialize, you have done much more research than I ever have...or ever will.
Could you do a favor for me, and for us all? It would be great if you would set up a post that separates the sentences of your preceding post into subject headings. Then you could provide as much detail as you wish on each subject.
For instance the first sentence could be set up this way:
"I. Personally, i believe in all of it - psychic, corporeal changes, and mental changes.
"A. I believe in all of [what would you call it?] Specifically, I believe in psychic [do you want a noun here? changes?] I divide this heading into the following seven sub-parts. These are my specific beliefs and reasons.
B. I believe in corporeal changes. Sub-parts with descriptions, beliefs, and reasons.
C. I believe in mental changes. Sub-parts with descriptions, beliefs, and reasons.
D. Since "all of it" may refer to more than "psychic, corporeal changes, and mental changes," it is also useful to stress [your choices here; one per capital letter], with the following specifics and for the following reasons.
A format, such as the one for which I provide only a bare outline, would be instructive and educational for those of us who don't do the deep research that you have done.
For instance, the last time I opened a physics book was in high school. Frankly, I can't remember all the laws of physics. I have some vague recollection of actions and equal, opposite reactions, but not much more. Besides, I think that was Newton, and it seems I remember that many of his ideas have been superseded. Obviously, I have many questions. In a non-telepathic world, for instance, what three major laws of physics would be violated and why?
If anybody claims that you are taking up too much space with your answer, send me a PM. Take as much space as you want. It might be better if you provided your answer in bite-sized installments. That would serve two purposes. It would show that you are willing to explain your very interesting propositions and it would allow those with short attention spans to focus on what you are saying.
I hope you will do us the favor of enlightening us all. Many thanks in advance!
In all fairness, I do not want to leave you with the impression that I will automatically agree with 1/\[url=(https?:\/\/[^\s\[]+):$uid\](.*?)\[\/url:$uid\]/i/\[url=(https?:\/\/[^\s\[]+):$uid\](.*?)\[\/url:$uid\]/i percent of what you say. On the other hand, it is fair to say that the more persuasive and authoritative your presentation, the more likely that you will win adherents. I see your detailed outline not as an end, but as a beginning. Of discussion, sharing, and questioning.
Since you have done so much research, you will have the advantage over the rest of us anyway!
