Are there psychics or seers in your family tree?

MYSTERY WIRE — Does psychic ability run in families? A scientific team spent years trying to find out if psychic traits are genetic and are passed down from one generation to the next.

“Every culture in the world has folklore, about families where people seem to be psychic,” said Dr. Dean Radin, one of the world’s premier investigators of psychic abilities and Chief Scientist at the Institute of Noetic Sciences(IONS). “So that would suggest that there is an element of the talent that is able to be inherited. That in turn suggests that there are genetics involved.”

Dr. Radin is also a published author. His most recent book is titled “Real Magic.” He said the book shows that one of the reasons why these phenomena are considered strange, is because we come from a worldview where we don’t consider it real. He said humanity currently has “a materialistic worldview, which is really good, except when it comes to consciousness. So three or 400 years of materialism, 10s of 1000s of years of esoteric worldview, which is very different and where things like UFOs and magic, and all the rest of it is perfectly normal. So I wrote the book to point out that we’re using a relatively new way of viewing the world and there are other ways of viewing it as well.”

And now we know that it isn't demons or spirits but mental illness that affects people.

It seems natural that if a child's parents, or other family member, has high sensitivity regarding the greater reality, that this would be of interest to them. Yet some seem to have this awareness without any exposure to it from others. That makes me think this it is not strictly genetic.

No. I was told by one astrologer that my dreaming ability is a gift from a previous life.

Using the his argument Dr Radin could defend slavery and spousal rape, it was once perfectly normal.

Is that the reason why have you become a so-called skeptical, anyhow?

In first instance, that is an erroneous, clichéd overgeneralization.

 

And secondly, how do you know every psychic from the past? Have you all met them? Are you a psychic yourself to figure out so? 

You do also realize there has many people out there who spend their whole lives almost to never preferably telling people that they are capable to see and speak with the disembodied consciousnesses of people who are supposed to be dead or in comatose the same way they would see and speak with anybody, either casually or on-and-off? To get inside your head without even having to read your body language let alone to see or know you, and reckon with neat accuracy every single detail about what you are/were you/will be doing at the very instant as if they lived through your skin, or even tell you the exact moment you seemingly had but the faintest nervous spasm, twitch or body movement you knew deep inside down that was NOT made on your own volition..? That there has some people who could just immerse themselves into a place and tell you about a fewer morbid details than only historians or old people knew about that occured exactly there decades or centuries ago, or where exactly is hidden whatever Indian cemetery?

Not everyone wants to bring oneselves under the limelight, knowingly aware about both the widely spread social stigma and unwanted scrutiny that their anomalous abilities can draw upon their social and intimate lives. Bragging about seeing dead people, reading people's mind-thoughts and emotions and possessing both foresight and prescient aptitudes, is practically nowhere any different from bragging about being a men's right advocate or a schizophrene: society will automatically behold you as a sideshow freak and label you and your families as such for the remainder of your lives.

 

Heck, this forum is supposed to be somewhat of a safe space open about these discussions and even there, people has a hard time not feeling opressed and bullied by other people here, while evoking about their experiences dealing with the paranornal here. I've seen plenty of people here getting shutted off and cyberbullied for entire months by some nuts just because they want to share their stories on a platform meant to have people speaking about it, with no moderator to calm them down.

Hi Curious

Actually the mods are pretty good here. If you have been around for some time then you know that Docyabut is not a hard hearted or high handed individual so I think you criticism to her is undeserved. 
A lot of people come to this forum because it is balanced and offers a wide range of perspectives not to mention links to credible sources. Worthwhile arguments are made and this is what makes a discussion forum educational whether one participates or observes. Yes discussions get heated and both sides are guilty of some of the things that you have expressed concerns about and would suggest read it like a book and be objective about what both sides are saying.

I love guys like Walker and Papa, reality is resources are limited and directed into science revenue and the quick return dollar is where the most scientific activity is so developments in speculative science is slow news worthy wise, many of us are critical about information given by sources so yes some don’t cut mustard and well argued. That does not mean that if real evidence is given that it will be rejected. 
In another thread all I asked you for were some links so I could understand your perspective and you got defensive right off. If you would have given a link or two I could find much more on my own thank you for your demonstrative fair play.

I refered you to read them all. You cannot resume scientific research about a periodical region and civikization into one compiled list of sources: you have to read, cross-search, refute and learn.

I am not here to be responsible of your tutoring, once again.

 

And in the last news, I see no moderating against cyberbullying.

Thank you for your demonstrative lack of coherence.

Hi Curious

You made some comments that were vague and I asked for clarification and gave a link about the Kiffians to which you made absolutely no response so Where exactly should I be looking, as I never claim to know it all. It is a discussion forum and I am asking you to discuss what you inferred.

Yes the mods do involve themselves in monitoring what goes on here and have had some of my posts deleted and they have come into threads to give warnings so not sure what you are on about. You speak down to people and refuse to participate in developing good relations in a discussion so how are you different that the cyberbullies you are crying about?

To me  being psychic is just a normal part of human abilities 

Its like being able to see or hear or walk or talk 

It is part of most peoples lives but for most its a very very minor part. eg the occasional hunch, intuition Deja vu, premonition etc. 

For others its more significant, and for some its enough to get them noticed by others who will then seek their help

On this specific question I think its like many things Its part nature (genetics)and part nurture (how you are raised ) 

So a person may have a natural talent for music but if this is never encouraged it may lie dormant.

Same for psychic abilities 

If the y are scoffed at  by parents they will be put aside if accepted or even encouraged the y may be nourished.

Ive had minor but real psychic abilities most of my life   

The y are useful to me and I use them to help others

I was 40 or 50 before i revealed this to my parents who then told me the y already knew, and talked to me about my mothers life which was filled with demonstrable psychic abilities The y were ore powerful but more limited in range than my own  Eg she often just "knew things" I have that ability but also others, including the abilty to find lost objects  project my consciousness and be fully conscious and in control, while dreaming  

As a child the y did not encourage my abilities, but the y never mocked or ridiculed such things, either.  

They just recognised that  "normal" human potentials went much further than many people experienced.

As in all things, they encouraged me to discover, explore, and push the limits of, my potentials.

My mother was very psychic and spiritual.  So much so that she seemed more at home in that world than in the world of physical reality.  I found her very strange and we had numerous clashes, yet I inherited a small portion of her ability.

I cannot control any of this and it just happens.  When I was young things went on constantly.  It dwindled over time.  Informative dreams were a big one.  Even now I fear going to sleep as I frequently have very strange dreams.

To me it was just a 6th sense with a variety of features.  Perhaps it is like radar with various sensors.  Nothing I encountered had anything to do with fortune telling.  Psychic ability was having accurate knowledge or understanding appear in my mind when I had no known source of information.  I just knew.

Like what?  Bingo numbers one after another.  A man about to die in front of my eyes and he did.  I told the person next to me and lowered my head so I wouldn't have the memories haunting me.  Then he was gone.  The tire dealers who were crooks.  The phones about to ring, the doors about to be knocked on and a dream that foretold death.  I just knew.  It just happens.
