Full Version: THE SENSED PRESENCE

This morning I watching a very old episode of “The Strange… True” (Sorry I don’t remember the whole name. It was about a new science called, Neurothology. A Dr. Michael Persinger, Canadian scientist of had made a helmet, which induces religious experience, by increasing an amount of electrodes on the temporal lopes. During clinical tests, they found a phenomenon; while in an isolated chamber test subjects were experiencing a presence, which the reseacher later named called THE SENSED PRESENCE. They went as far as treating a young girl who was terrified of going into her room because she felt a “being”. The scientist went in looking for extra energy sources that would induce the “being” and found that, her electronic alarm clock was the problem. Once the clock was re-moved, the young was no longer experiencing this other “being”. Other test subjects, had said that they felt the presences of “god” or a higher self. Another test subject didn’t feel anything, or just very relaxed.

1. If the haunts, are just an increase of electrodes in concertinaed areas, how come some people, feel fear, other feel “god” and some that didn’t feel anything? At what point does our body reads informations bad or good?

2. Why is the same does the same test produces a range of feelings, instead of just one?

3. If this true, then wouldn't that mean that there really are no ghosts, angels or gods and it's all in out in our heads?

4. At what point can we tell if our supernatural experiances real or not?

This is an old theory, but worth repeating:
Maybe the spirits are manipulating electromagnetic energy to display to us or evoke in us the feeling they do?

Maybe the scientists thinking that they have explained the whole experience, have only touched upon one facet of it.

It depends how special someone thinks they are.

It depends on your own reality. Maybe if schizophrenic people were given this test, they wouldn't hear/sense anything. WOW maybe I just came up with the cure for schizophrenia ohmy.gif ok this is copywrited C heheeheeheeh

Suppose you have the same ears as your mother. The same eyes as your father.
It is also probable that you have inherited other physical qualities as well that can not be seen. I.E. Brain structures. You mentioned schizophrenia and it just happens to be a theory of mine that mental illnesses are not inherited as such. However the brain structures are inherited and perhaps chemical or electrical forces play upon these 'different brain structures' in different ways.

The girl afraid to go in her room perhaps had a brain structure extremely sensitive to a particular electronic wave. Just some more thoughts to confuse the lesser mentally equiped. tongue.gif

Glad I don't have the brain structure of a schizophrenic, as my mother was one in her past life. And the difference between inherited mental illnesses and inherited brain structures? Just curious? Maybe not, I may not be mentally ready for this lol

No offense, but this reminded me of that Johnny Bravo joke, the one where he was trying to explain a possessed fork: "Perhaps electromagnetic waves emanating from subterranean geologic structures are angering the little pixies in the fork!"

I've taken a physiological psychology course about how the brain affects our behavior, and feeling a "presence" was something that was mentioned in class.

With an electrode, they would manipulate certain parts of the brain while the recipient was awake, and they would report what they felt. They definitely found a relationship between presence and different areas of the brain. However, if ghosts and angels and God are real, who's to say that area of our brain isn't sort of a sixth sense that's just not generally developed for most people? Maybe these spirits have a particular kind of energy that some people are sensitive to. The fact that your brain has this capacity, really shows that it has receptors for this type of phenomenon.
