Seriously, when psi is concerned, what evidence do we have?
We have a bunch of teenagers saying that their fingers tingle.
I can make my finders tingle too. It's just blood.

I don't even know why we have a whole forum on this, because it's blatantly obvious we aren't going to find reasonable evidence any time soon. What's even worse is that we have a sub-forum for believers only, where they can brag about their 'abilities'. I don't see the point. They know they are lying, everyone else knows they're lying. It's just pointless.

Okay, enough ranting from me, please stats your opinions.

However, if you try to explain your experiences here, without suitable information and fact, you will only be laughed at.

Okay well If you don't believe in "psi" abilities, then please do your best to explain dreams. How do we create them? Where do they come from? What part of the brain shuts off when we sleep, and what part turns on? The brain is just a muscle, just like your bicep. Sure it's connected to nerve endings but so is your bicep. So tell me, does your bicep produce images? There is such a thing a "psi" abilities. You might want to get in tune with yours.

And this is why some people don't want to be themselves. Society makes it hard on believers just as much as it does on gay people. I almost want to be a skeptic so I'm not called names like insane and delusional.

Wow...Karma's hot!!

Its not ok...its a fact. Same as world injustice, famine, war and many more unpleasant things. Instead of putting words in my mouth try to understand what I am saying. Makes for better conversation.

Just so you know, I am a believer, but I must say that you are WRONG. Your brain doesn't shut off when you sleep. All that happens is the speed of your brainwaves changes. In fact, when you dream vividly, your brainwaves speed up beyond what they are while you're awake.
Oh, and your brain is NOT just like any other muscle. Its various parts have various functions, such as processing images, which your other muscles do not have. Now, Lucid dreaming and dreamwalking could be categorized under psi-ailities (even though they don't use psi). The main reason why they can be called psionic abilities is because they can be performed much easier with concentration and visualization, things that play a big part in psionics.

I do believe in psi, in fact, I practice it just about everyday, but your reasons should at least be good ones.

It can't create images if it's never seen images. WOW, WHAT A REVOLUTIONARY CONCEPT!

Well, thankyou for bringing back a topic that died back in April.

If your brain ever shut off, you'd die. Plain and simple.

The conscience part of the MIND shuts off, but other parts are still workin' away.
