Are Hardcore Skeptics and Debunkers Actually Brain Deficient? Their Own Beloved 'Hard Science' Might Well Suggest Many Are.


We have all encountered them, the men and women of ‘reason’. The self-appointed guardians, and vanguards of materialist dogma, along with their absolute faith, and belief in, official government and corporate press releases. The debunker, the hardcore skeptic—how they love to compulsively ridicule and mock all they deem ‘pseudoscience’ and ‘conspiracy theory’—while also declaring anyone who thinks outside the box or questions the prevailing orthodoxy, a ‘moron’ and a ‘retard’.

     Matters not how solid the evidence you present them with is, nor how flimsy their own state-sanctioned ‘hard science’ which they smugly offer up as their rebuttal; they are driven by a messianic compulsion to root out unscientific ‘idiots’ with all the zeal and fanaticism similar to that of a Dominican, or Jesuit charging through southern France in the twelfth century seeking out ‘heretic’ for the burning.

     Irony does not even come into their myopic worldview—unless of course a government, corporate or university press office states this. Then it becomes an undisputed fact! Thanks to the likes of Richard Dawkins and Christopher Hitchens, these internet—bound warriors of rationality see ‘creationist’ and ‘hidden Christians’ around every corner and seek to root them out and expose them as part and parcel of their own peculiar secular witch hunt mentality.

     The reality is that apart from their own kind—other self-proclaimed non-‘idiots’; most people find such arrogant and obvious debunkers and hardcore skeptics to be strangely angry and boorish, and often confrontational to the point of hysteria. So many of them seem to, lack basic social and behavioral skills when ‘debating’ with their ‘kook’ of choice.

     Their absolutism can be staggering at times. Yet, despite all this, they have somehow come to consider themselves ‘cool’ and even ‘sexy’ within the last decade. This is simply a lack of critical thinking on their behalf; a distorted worldview where only they are right and everyone else is an idiot.
     However, when you strip down their whole mandate into its constituent parts, one soon finds that most of these ‘scientifically’ minded crusaders have no actual accredited scientific background, and the entire thrust of their endeavors remains nothing less than unconstitutional servitude  and unquestioned devotion to authority figures and the status quo. They seek entrenched orthodoxy, not exploration and wonder. They see an open-minded individual as being akin to a brain being infected with a disease, or the mark of a witch. They act as if creationists are a real danger to human survival, as if the U.S. Bible belt has extended its absurd boundaries. Creationists are about as much danger to the advances made by scientist in the last two hundred years as Granada was to Ronald Reagan back in the early 1980’s.

     It is only fair to point out that there are also healthy skeptics who genuinely do look at anomalies and unexplained phenomena within the natural and unseen cosmos with a cautious eye. The will at least indulge a novel or radical opinion and look at the evidence before taking a stance—often it is an arbitrary position, based on using the scientific method coupled with Carl Sagan’s “extraordinary” evidence. They are generally polite and only moderately condescending at worst.

     The debunker and the hard core skeptics, on the other hand, will even attack these open-minded materialists, similar to how a flying saucer cult will have very public witch hunts of so-so members who have not shown their unconditional devotion to the messages sent from the ‘space brothers’. The irony is that many of the open-minded skeptics that they attack often base a scientific or engineering background (degrees), and these folks are being attacked by debunkers whose sum total of their own quest for reason and logic rarely extends beyond procuring a ‘myth busters’ DVD box set or having a poster of Richard Dawkins on their wall. Any reductionist fence-sitters will be treated with ridicule and contempt—even fascistic vitriol and vicious insults.

There are simply no grey areas within the concrete consciousness of the debunkers or the hardcore skeptic; instead, only a kind of scientific idealism—and idealism, both secular or otherwise, is really just a nice way of saying ‘Fascism’.
 
     So what gives? How come they behave the way they do? A complete lack of social intelligence? An inability to debate, share interesting banter and listen to what another person is saying, which might be at odds with their own beloved science might well provide the answer to these questions. It may well be an over-stimulation of the left hemisphere of their brains leading to a kind of self-induced schizophrenia whereby the right hemisphere of their brain has been switched off. Hence, why they place no value on other forms of non-lateral intelligence; noetic wisdom and intuition.

THE LEFT RIGHT BRAIN—MYTHOLOGY AND FACT

     During the 1960's and well into the following two decades, a branch of pop psychology developed which began to make some very speculative assumptions about the specific roles the two hemispheres of our brain play in our cognitive awareness and functioning. The general understanding developed that the left hemisphere of the brain was essentially analytical and concerned with processes and quantitative evaluation, while the right hemisphere of the human brain was where the artists and dreamers resided. This is a very simplistic understanding; and in recent years, imaging research has shown that both hemispheres share more or less the same attributes, and both can equally process the same cognitive functionality. However, and this is crucial, there is a level of redundancy in both hemispheres.

     The growing speculation for the need for two (asymmetrical) brain hemispheres is to perform two acts of awareness. The left brain is devoted to specific tasks and objectives, while the right brain acts as a kind of peripheral awareness. There has to be a kind of background seeing, as well as immediate attention to the task at hand. Think of an early human on the side of a riverbank trying to spear a salmon—the left brain would be devoted to this task. In order to maintain awareness of the environment and possible dangers therein, the right hemisphere of the human brain is 'looking' out for predators such as a saber-tooth tiger seeking an easy meal in the form of a prehistoric human who is completely concentrated on catching a fish.
     Hence, why the right brain is, often associated with, insight, intuition and noetic realizations. Which, is why, artists tend to have an ability to see changes in their environment and social conditions before the rest of the population. Their 'background vision' is more highly developed due to them using both hemispheres of their brain for the purpose they were intended.
     The left brain, on the other hand, has been shown to be highly narcissistic and with an inflated sense of its own worth and status. The left hemisphere sees no problem with itself, and this has been shown in stroke patients who lost the use of the right hemisphere of their brain. Operating in left-brain mode only, they assumed they were perfectly fine until they attempted to get out of bed only to discover they were paralyzed on one side.

     Between the left and right hemispheres of the human brain is the corpus callosum, which is a thin membrane of nerve fibers which separates the two halves and has now been shown that rather than being a communicative link between the two brain halves, it acts more like a buffer, with the left brain in western people having a desire to literally switch off the neural activity in the right hemisphere. This is one meme which Betty Edwards was correct about in her book; Drawing on the Right of the Brain. The left hemisphere is a bully. In overly logical and analytical individuals, FMRI scans have shown the left brain—via the corpus callosum nerve fibers—from offering its contribution to the entire cognitive process. This state of right hemisphere nullification is where the debunker and the hardcore skeptics are trapped and can never leave. In their intolerant and highly narcissistic left hemisphere. Using the two percent of neural wiring into their right hemisphere in order to shut it off. Ordering the right hemisphere to cease activity while the left side of the brain saves the world from ‘morons’ who dare question official government press releases or mandates from any authority figure or bureaucratic institutions.

     Along with this, their intuition and background awareness are likewise diminished. Can you see where this is going? For all their obsession with brain functionality and brain size, as well as their entrenched (and completely unproven) notion that all human consciousness resides in the brain. The debunkers and hardcore skeptics are only using one half of their brain.

Evolution and the Corpus Callosum
     Despite what one would assume, the further we get from the hunter-gatherer ancestors, the thickness of the corpus callosum has actually increased, pushing both halves of the human brain further apart rather than removing it. This presents Darwinists with a problem. As we move further away from the dangers of the natural world, there should be an on-going lateralism and symmetry of the two brain hemispheres. Another problem is presented here; in that it has now been shown that people of higher intelligence and IQs are much easier to hypnotize and mind control than more creative individuals and even people with lower IQs are less likely to be mesmerized than formerly educated people with advanced degrees. This would go a long way to explaining why the most absurd flying saucer cults are populated with Ph.D.’s and other highly qualified people waiting for the ‘space brothers’ to arrive. The over-dependence upon and submission to the left hemisphere of the brain leads to just as much delusion and risk of being deceived as the flighty and poetic over-stimulated right hemisphere.

Evolution and the Corpus Callosum

     A cognitive awareness strangled by statistical information and experimental designs? All the great discoveries were ‘eureka’ moments. They were not developed in the labs by white coats working for corporations and foundations. Scientific discovery was not gained by piling sequential ‘certainties’. They were intuitive insights which were validated through scientific method of measurement and constant re-testing. The western system of education has created a kind of trial separation between the left and right hemispheres of the human brain. Therefore, similar to a stroke patient who is not aware that one side of his or her body is paralyzed until they attempt to get out of bed, they deeply entranced hyperactive left brain debunker and hardcore skeptic is simply unable to grasp how the rest of us see the world and experience life. Unable to see the wood from the trees, they do not comprehend intuition and noetic insights. They are cognitively blinded to these experiences and the rest of us trying to explain to them how some official announcement or world event—does not ‘feel right’—is a human experience that they are completely unaware of it. This is why you cannot explain an alternative viewpoint to them.

     Human need both sides of their brain working in tandem in order for their consciousness to synthesize a more complete and richer understanding of the world as well as human and social dynamics.

The Journey into orthodoxy madness

     This can be seen as a kind of self-induced schizophrenia, resulting from over-hyperactivity in the left hemisphere of the brain. There is too much information being processed and the intense devotion to the analytical leads to a kind of overload in the here and now dominant cognitive rationalization based on statistical data, while neglecting the right hemisphere of the brain and the ‘background awareness’.

     Much of this has to do with how our minds process ideas and concepts through visual thought forms, and how this is then expressed in language and the written word. By neglecting the right hemisphere extreme stress is then placed on the left hemisphere and the result can be catastrophic. Philo Farnsworth, the Utah farm boy who invented the modern television system and then went on to develop over 150 patents in television and broadcasting technology, ended drinking himself to death due to—according to his family—being unable to shut down his brain and live a normal life. His initial discovery was a result of a ‘eureka’ moment, when as a teen, he observed how the plough lines behind his tractor represented the ideal method for transmitting images by radio waves; however his obsession with formulae and endless analytical pursuits literally blew his mind up.  Farnsworth is not unique in this aspect.

     When one becomes completely entrenched within the left brain and obsessed with an exclusively analytical lifestyle (which then becomes a belief system to be defended), there is a loss of cognitive functioning and behavioral control. This explains why there is so much anger and hostility among debunkers and hardcore skeptics. The bullying aspect of their narcissistic left brain creates a superiority complex, in that they come to believe they know all and see all, when in reality, they are running half-empty with one aspect of their human experience essentially missing. This part of the human experience where intuition and social intelligence of the most subtle and intricate forms are a complete mystery to them. To the skeptical debunker, things are—either are or they are not—there is now grey area as they are ironically not fully utilizing their own grey matter to its fullest potential.

     Stress is then incurred upon their left hemisphere cognitive functioning and behavioral deficiencies result. They are not calling people ‘morons’ and ‘retards’, as a general insult or standard internet ‘courage’—the debunkers and hardcore skeptics are deeply frustrated and near hysterical to the point where they see anyone who is open-minded and willing to indulge the mysterious as being akin to indulge the mysterious as being akin to an alien life form. They simply cannot relate to the rest of us. We are ‘irrational’, ‘lacking reason’, ‘lost in woo’. Their experience of being human and how they describe it through crude metaphors whereby ‘we are just DNA robots’ and there is nothing else going on—is not how the rest of us experience our lives.

     We know there is much, much more too human experience than these left-brained internees of the hardcore skeptic and debunker faction can assume. Much, much more. So the next time you find yourself confronted with a hardcore skeptic or debunker, do not even bother to try and make your argument or present your point of view to them, as you are throwing 100% of a human experience in a 50% self-repressed cognitive understanding of the skeptic. It’s not their fault that they are the way they are. They are the victims of an educational system, which began in Prussia in the eighteenth century and which has led humanity into one scientific genocide and meat grinder after the next.  Use your intuition and ignore them. You do not need their validation and approval, as they are only interested in what the men in the white coats tell them that which is ‘fact’. Be polite and continue to follow your own field of study and knowledge path, and then see where it leads you.

'Detecting Ghosts' with your Mobile Phone?!

    New tools for investigating the paranormal pop up on a steady basis.  Some are simply modified cameras, others detect vibrations, and there’s modified radios that scan radio waves hoping to communicate within the frequency of the white noise.  Recent experimental equipment that generates random words based on the environmental influences are becoming more and more popular.  There are stand-alone devices that also do more than generate words. The popularity of these random word generators have also found its way onto our mobile devices.

     I have started to see a trend in mobile device apps that “scan” a room and detect that a “ghost” is in the area displayed by a radar blip.  Perhaps you may also see random words when these blips appear or at other random times.  These apps are slowly being used for investigations more than EMF detectors, audio recorders and video cameras. They come with the disclaimer: “for entertainment purposes only”, which is stated by the programmers before you download.  For some reason, a lot of people put a lot of credibility into these types of apps and don’t question the validity of what is being shown on the screen. To be clear, this article is not about the stand-alone equipment (EMF detectors, Spirits Boxes, REM-Pods, Ovilus, digital audio recorders, etc.). This is about applications that you download onto your mobile device.

     How can an application that’s downloaded onto a eReader or cell phone detect spiritual energy and visually show its location?  The only thing an eReader can do is connect to a WiFi connection and download eBooks, games, and other apps.  In fact, there are no other sensors in an eReader that do anything else.  Cell phones include technology such as proximity sensors, motion sensors, accelerometer and some may have a gyroscope or may be NFC-enabled.  Accessories can be bought and plugged into a cell phone to read environmental changes such as EMF and temperature changes.  But, an application alone does not have the ability to determine these changes.

     When you download “ghost hunting” applications onto your mobile device, a prompt will appear asking for permission to access your GPS or location services. Why would this application need to have access to this information? Is it possible that the app is programmed to automatically assign words based on your current location from a master database?  Perhaps.  There is also an idea that certain applications may use your microphone to record words, store them, and use them at a later time.  My personal opinion is that these random word generators do not actually detect paranormal activity at all.  A word generated by the app may be relevant to the location that you’re in, but I feel this is a symptomatic effect and causes the user or group of people to try and associate what is being said to match a certain story or idea that may be present with that location. I do not believe that an app can detect a ghost, however, other stand-alone devices that have electronic sensors can detect unknown fields of energy, temperature change, light and audio anomalies, etc.

     It is very simple to download an app on your cell phone, tablet or eReader.  This is why I feel most people use this method of “investigating” instead of basic equipment because of its convenience and possible direct communication.  Some people want to believe and communicate with people or loved ones that have passed.  I feel these apps give false hope while also making your wallet a little bit lighter. If you do use these apps, I would suggest to use two mobile devices running the same app to see if you capture the same word(s).  I have tried this many times and have been unsuccessful.  These apps are just a novelty item to entertain, scare or amuse your friends. Contact the creators of these apps and ask how and why these apps work. The majority of these “ghost hunting” apps are developed by an development team that have no ties to the paranormal community and is intended solely for profit. If you receive an answer by the developer, please pass it along.  I myself,  would love to hear their response.

     Our team tests and uses all types of experimental equipment, new and old.  The truth is, while investigating the paranormal, there is no exact science or proven tools. Be smart, use your best judgment, and if something seems too good to be true….it usually is. Good luck on your search for the paranormal.

Is it Worth Chasing Folklore?

     Finding supposedly haunted buildings to investigate can be difficult for even the most well-known paranormal groups. Word of mouth and media reports can highlight current cases yet these are not always in abundance. Even when a new case does arise, you can almost guarantee that a gluttony of paranormal groups will be hammering on the door to gain access.

     As a consequence of this shortfall in contemporary hauntings, investigators may turn their attentions to historical cases whose origins are rooted in folklore. In my eyes this seems to be a dubious tactic to employ. Defined at it's simplest, folklore represents the common beliefs of a group of people at a certain moment in time. Amongst these beliefs are a huge array of ghost stories, many of which have been passed down through centuries of oral stories that finally make it to print.

     The major issue here is one of verbal stories becoming embellished, altered or amended, whether by design or accident. Even when published in print, folk story tales are not immune to altercation as successive authors rework identical tales to avoid allegations of plagiarism. An equally damaging concern is that of a tale's point of origin. It is certainly the case that many ghostly tales are the product of the human mind, invoked as a popular method to explain away events whose origins are obscure; say, a carting accident or unexplained death. Other ghosts may be of parallel invention, designed to deter unwelcomed visitors from specific buildings or fro certain outdoor locations.

     For example, it was once believed that ancient burial grounds held treasure and other forbidden mysteries. And many were supposedly protected by ghostly soldiers, headless horsemen and other types of apparitions. Although easily overlooked or otherwise dismissed as "rare", we should also consider whether some deliberate hoaxes have become embedded in folklore. Centuries of old hoaxes may never be uncovered, yet it is worth taking the time to understand that a haunting does not need to be considered historical to be viewed as folklore.

     Perhaps the best known instance of folklore is the notorious Amityville case. Although exposed as a hoax by writers Joe Nickell and Rick Moran, it is still considered genuine amongst a surprisingly large number of people. For many, this is no more than a result of ignorance to the case's discrepancies and inconsistencies. For others, the case is given strength by the refusal of the couple at its center to offer a confession before their deaths. Although renamed, the "Haunted House" on Ocean Avenue is still a popular tourist attraction for sightseers.

     Curious as folkloric ghost stories may be, the research value of investigating the settings of these cases is extremely questionable. Chances are you will have no witnesses to turn to. You will be at the mercy of successive story tellers and authors embellishments and omissions. And if what you are after did not disappear a very long time ago, it may not have even existed in the first place beyond the deep realm of yarns, gossip and hoaxes.

A Run on Demons!

      For many years I have been helping people who were being  haunted by spirits or in some cases, people who thought they were being haunted.  I treat all cases the same way. I remain skeptical but open-minded and wait to  see what I found. This could take days, sometimes weeks. In many cases, nothing  happened. Even if there was no haunting taking place, it was important to treat the people with respect and courtesy. Even if there was a mild haunting, it was  vitally important that the victims be treated with utmost respect. They needed to be believed, plain and simple. The overwhelming number of those cases  involved human spirits. That does not seem to be true today.


     In the past few years, I have been getting more and more cases where people believe they are being plagued by demons. Obviously there are demons  and those of us who work in this field know that demonic cases are on the rise, almost alarmingly so. Still, the truth of the matter is that demonic attacks on  humans are rare. So why the sudden rise? There are several reasons why this is  so. One reason is there are more movies about possession and exorcism around  today. The same is true of books. Even TV shows bring demons into peoples homes.  Many people read those warning signs and get the impression that they may be victims of demonic influence.

     The most important point I can make is that it takes a number  of those manifestations to occur before we can even begin to think there is  something demonic going on. One or two or three simply do not constitute a demonic haunting, let alone possession. It takes a professional to prove the  existence of the demonic. That person might be a clergyman; he or she may be a well seasoned paranormal investigator. The point is that one should never jump to the conclusion that demons are present. When someone comes to me and believes they are being demonically haunted, I try to let them know that I believe what they are telling me. I also try to convince them that the chances of demonic  involvement are extremely rare. Are they right sometimes? No, but that doesn't mean that one day I won't finally run into that rare case of a demonic haunt.

     In some cases, these people are suffering from a mental  illness. No one wants to admit they are mentally ill. There is a terrible stigma when it comes to mental illness. Yet for many people, they would rather believe they are demonically possessed than to accept the fact they have an illness. Our society plays a role in that too. We look at the mentally ill with such disdain or fear. We move forward with the new advances of our age but we do so while  looking backwards. This is especially true when it comes the mentally ill. To  think one would rather believe they are possessed than admit to an illness tells  us a lot.

     Demonic hauntings eventually make themselves well known. They sometimes start off slowly but they become rather obvious in time. Generally speaking, if a person is possessed, they likely won't realize it. Those who believe they are possessed may be under attack but they are unlikely to be possessed. For those who think they may be, prayer is a good solution.  Prayer is safe. If a person is under demonic attack, prayer may solve the problem. If there is no demonic activity at work, prayer certainly isn't going to hurt.  Sometimes people feel desperate enough to seek an exorcist. There are plenty of  people around who call themselves exorcists but going that route is playing with  fire. If the person is not legitimate and most of them aren't, terrible damage can be done. If the person is mentally ill, great harm can be done by feeding into their delusion.

     The mentally ill are not the only victims. There are frauds out there who will find someone who believes they are possessed. Believe me when I tell you they will find ways to suck every penny from the victims. It may start with rituals or the victim may be asked to build a kit containing oils, incense, icons, special candles or what have you. While they do work because my team uses them. Be wary of anyone who claims they have special powers over the devil. Be wary of people who tell you they can  free you from demons you don't even have for a fee. If you look for help over the Internet, don't just buy into the fanciest website you find. Do research. As for references. Never believe everything you hear. If you really feel your problems are demonic, go to a clergyman.

     Most of all, don't believe that the devil is behind all of your problems. He plays a role in our lives but it is usually in the background.  Live a good life, stay away from the occult, give reverence to God and you should have a life free from the devil.

MOMS, KIDS, AND THE PARANORMAL

     Children are naturally scary creatures, but what happens when your kid is more than run-of-the-mill scary and might actually be experiencing a haunting or demonic activity?


      One common theme that pops up in biographic ghost stories on television is that it is always the mother who first believes their child’s claims of paranormal experiences. In these narratives, dads typically brush off the stories or get angry at the suggestion that there might be something otherworldly happening.  It isn’t until the dads experience something personally that they become believers.  (Curiously—and I haven’t tabulated any fancy statistics to determine this—there seems to be less reports of moms who think their child may have been abducted by aliens.)


     On average, moms spend more time with their children than dads, and since various polls show more women than men believe in ghosts, it stands to reason that a mother would be more attune to her child having a case of the paranormals or ghost pox; which I guess can’t be cured with penicillin or a vaccine (What would a paranormal vaccine even involve, dead ghosts?  Ghosts are already dead.  It doesn’t make any sense, I mean, come on.).


     It doesn’t take long to find a mom on the Internet desperately seeking help for her child who is experiencing something unexplained.  It seems fair to ask whether these are some sort of pleas for attention on the part of the mom, or whether the child’s problems might best be dealt with by a psychiatrist or other medical professional, and there’s no doubt this is often the case.  But what if sometimes it’s worth taking moms seriously on these matters? Most moms love their children and would go to bat for them for anything; mine always did. 


     Yet if a child is experiencing something paranormal, they can’t take the child to a hospital to get cured, and coming forward with it publicly would bring on ridicule and questions over the mom’s sanity.  It has to be a tough position to be in. More generally, since moms often socialize kids the most, they can greatly influence their children’s beliefs on the paranormal. 



     Séances, Ouija boards, and fortune telling were of the utmost evil, which made them all the more appealing to me.   Yet there was a complete openness to the idea that spirits existed, and some might not have passed on. The possibility of demons or evil influences wasn’t discussed, but they were understood to exist.


     How might your mom have shaped your interests in the paranormal?  What stories did she tell or what beliefs did she pass on to you?  Did she believe you if you ever claimed you had a paranormal experience as a child?  If you never thought to ask, when you call to wish her a Happy Mother’s Day, ask her if she’s ever seen a ghost or a UFO, or experienced anything unexplained.  I’m of the opinion that these are the sorts of fun memories and conversations one should have with their parents.

Unlocking the Mystery beyond the Voices of the Dead.

What exactly lies beyond the voices of the dead? Even though paranormal research has more than enough evidence on voices of spirits that have revealed scientific evidence of spirit existence; yet, we have no idea what lies beyond the voices of the dead because of the limitations of our fundamental nature that is shaped by our five senses.


     In fact, through history revealed back in 1920, Thomas Edison who experimented with his early recording inventions had recorded the voices of the dead and found the clues that human personality does survive death. Furthermore, he suggests that it might be strictly logical and scientific to assume that one’s memory may also be retained despite the death process. Nevertheless, voices of the dead is not only proof that human intelligence does survive death but they may also bring about undisclosed messages and mystery that require an in depth analysis to unlock the secrets that lie beyond these voices.

     Therefore, in order for us to understand the secrets that lie beyond the voices of the dead, we first need to understand the living behavioural patterns that stream from the ability of how one reacts to a particular energy force that may have impact on one’s emotional state. In addition, the emotional state that one is going through at the moment will be reflected on their own behavioral patterns towards others that can be determined either through their speeches or behavioural patterns.

     Similarly, the voices of the dead that are recorded in the form of Electronic Voice Phenomena (EVP) are imbedded with secret messages that need to be analyzed in depth in order for us to break through the secrets that lie beyond. Thus, the basic key to understanding the secrets beyond the voices of the dead is based on one’s ability to process information received from the spirits’ voices through logical thinking combined with high level spiritual understanding that not only allows one to define the actual meaning of words that are used by the dead in their speeches but also will be able to feel the feelings of the dead at that very moment.

     Therefore, vocabulary patterns and lateral meaning analysis is the easiest way to understand the meaning of the messages that lie beyond the dead voices. In addition, the time reference that is used in context and the issue that is being highlighted by the dead is a great reference to determine the clues of the secrets that lie beyond their voices. Therefore, EVP research is important for us to understand better the psychology of the dead who choose to stay on in this physical existence. In other words, the psychology of the spirit is imbedded secretly within their speeches that are recorded as an EVP.

     Furthermore, sometimes we may need to analyze the subconscious mind of the dead to unveil the secrets that lie beyond their voices. In fact, the secrets of the voices of the dead are imbedded beyond the lateral meaning that are used by the dead in their speeches. However, in order for us to understand the subconscious mind of the dead, we may need to reverse the speeches of the dead in order to know their subconscious mind. Understanding the concept of the Reverse Speech technology invented by David John Oates will enable us to unveil the unspoken secrets beyond the voices of the dead. In other words, by using the Reverse Speech Technology we will be attempting to break the code of words used by the dead in their speeches by reading their subconscious mind.

     Therefore, understanding the tones of how words are used by spirits in their speech is one way of understanding the spirit’s emotional state, other than analyzing word patterns that are used in a phrase by the spirit that may also give us early indication of the spirit’s emotional state. Unfortunately, just a single EVP that is recorded in a paranormal investigation may not be enough for analysis to gain extra information or to make a conclusion on a spirit’s emotional state.

     Furthermore, in order for us to analyze and understand the spirits’ emotional state and the secrets that lie beyond their voices, the EVPs must be arranged according to its original recording sequences so that the tones, word patterns and references used by the spirits in their speeches can be analyzed. In fact, based on our experience, a spirit’s comment most of the time refers to a current event. However sometimes, the spirit may give us extra information by mentioning an event in the past to give us the knowledge of their culture background. Nevertheless, in some cases the spirit may also mention an event that currently happens at the higher dimension which has not yet happened in our dimension for a certain purpose. Yet, we need to gain a higher level of spiritual understanding in order to break the code of the future event.
 
     Therefore, the voices of the dead which are recorded in the form of EVPs may not only contain secret messages, references of the physiology of the spirit but also can be a reference about people’s culture and lifestyle in the past as well as become a reference to the future dimension as well.  So what do you think?

Provoking

     The subject of provoking is one that I am very passionate about.  That is because of the fact of where it originated from and because too many paranormal groups use it today.  Provoking originated from religious provocation.


     Religious provocation is used by the clergy and Religious Demonologists to make demons show themselves in order   to gather the proof needed to get the church involved, etc.  It is also used by paranormal groups when they wish to make a spirit or entity show itself.  There is one major difference though.  If the clergy or R.D. is the target of an attempted attack they know how to successfully defend themselves and fight back.  A paranormal group or investigator usually does not.


     A paranormal group will use provoking when it appears that whatever is in the home isn’t going to show itself on its own.  The word provoking is used because the paranormal team will try to get the spirit/entity to show itself by making fun of it,demand that it show itself, challenge it, and even use foul language.     

     For a paranormal team to provoke whatever is in the home is not only foolish but it is also extremely dangerous. This is for the simple fact that they may not be sure what they’re dealing with.  Many investigators have learned this the hard way because when they attempted it they were not only attacked physically but also emotionally and mentally.  This is because that most people, whether they are seasoned investigators or not can be traumatized by this.  How do you think it would make you feel if you were attacked by something that you couldn’t see let alone defend yourself against.  It can really do some serious damage.  It is for those reasons that no one should ever provoke or challenge something that may be in a home.


     If any case that I go on ever has a chance of being demonic in nature then I always tell the client what religious provocation is, how it’s used, when it’s used, what could happen, etc.  I then also tell the client that if they don’t want me using  it then I absolutely will not.  If a R.D. or paranormal group is planning on using provocation then they should have enough respect for the client to tell them what it is and what could happen.  If things get out of hand the team can leave, the homeowner can not.  Never, ever use provoking without the permission of the homeowner.


     Please, do not ever use provoking unless you are properly trained and think it is absolutely necessary and  you have the homeowner’s permission.  If you meet these three requirements  then please be careful and ready for anything because anything could happen.
