Just a little history and our disbelief disappears for a few moments, it makes us think and doubt at least for a second about our cold and objective beliefs.

I made this thread for something that I find very curious and interesting. A file of the US government about an interrogation dating from 1984. MARS EXPLORATION.

This file provides us with information about an alleged interrogation of a psychic with some supernatural powers (forgive the redundancy).

https://www.cia.gov/library/readingroom/docs/CIA-RDP96-00788R001900760001-9.pdf




So leaving aside the fact that the CIA can manipulate (although i dont know what reason in this case) or that sounds like something absurd and a fairy tale.

This is real and is part of the history of the United States. It is something that seems impressive but at the same time absurd.

So this leads to the next question.

Do you believe in psychics or supernatural powers?

I have psychic abilities myself. I can give myself an erection with my mind alone, no matter how inappropriate the location.

Kind of a broad statement. It depends on the specific thing in question.

@Flevalt
No it's not some code word. It's well documented what the CIA did and even specific individuals are well known to have been involved.

transhumanism and technological singularity will make this magic stuff become real imo

as they say any advance technology is like magic

as for the CIA story it could be just a one giant coincidence like did they even do other prediction test on that psychic? the scientific method is all about replication or reproducibility anyway

@Flevalt They were just looking for fame or money? I don't know very well how much that benefited them in CIA interrogations. But I could not say that ALL are con-artists. and if they were, then, they were geniuses!.

@Scud Woah, I thought I was the only one. But calm down, the police explained to me that it was not about psychic stuff (a little by force) and it was a bad thing to do it without pants in places like elementary school.

@traed oh yes, it's true that I wasn't specific. I was referring to super powers like the one in that same document. Do not move objects, since it would enter into the theme of magicians and other more "sub-realistic" themes. But rather manage to see things that other people cannot. As in the case of forensic investigations in which psychics are used when they lack clues. con-artists aside.

@deg I do not believe that we will manufacture a machine to see the past as shown in the document. Since it would only be simulations and speculations with future research and discoveries. Of course there are many things like seeing through the walls or moving natural objects at a distance. But hope there will be fox girls with penis in the future, I look forward to it.

No.

I'm neither superstitious nor religious. Not a fan of conspiracy theories either.

I believe in supernatural powers but not because I believe in CIA.

Why would I believe in an Intelligence Agency?.

What they do are mostly secrets. I don't see why would they reveal something without political reasons. And there's no guarantees what they reveal are truth.

I beleive that one can cultivate their senses/intuition to a level that may be seen as extrasensory perception and that accordingly, one can also gain some sort of mastery over the seemingly imerceptible information that they are sending out.

Plants communicate chemically and animals have instinct, humans got that shit too.

ye many animals already have something similar using their smell and vision or other senses in an incredible way. Humans have a very advanced intuition, so that would not be very strange.

those guys should be becoming millionaires in the casinos all over the world. But they prefer to go to an interrogation of the CIA, it seems that they are very humble people.

i am unsure on that due to MKultra. most the documents to that experiment were burned.

Nah, I don't quite believe in supernatural powers or psychics for that matter.

Proof will be hard to find for these cases. You have to suspend your disbelief for a moment in order to write such stories at will.

I'll believe it when it's actually proven. CIA shady, unreliable experiments notwithstanding. Anyway, if they had physics, they clearly didn't use them.

So far, "supernatural powers" have, let's say, a poor track record with reality, so that's nonsense as far I'm concerned.

I'm sure they have to when the protagonist is the devil and the horrors are the grotesque angels. They have to suspend their disbelief that there isn't a god promoting an orderly religion to reign you in.

well, in a specific situation like that may..... well, it's hard to believe the truth. I guess it's something like getting into a role or something?.

You undermine the potential of role-playing your characters in order to write a better version of the stories unfold. Unless you believe in it to some extent, you will never unleash the true power of being in that situation.

Then you go screaming like a little girl, yeee , ahhh, yeiiii and break down in tears. You have then achieve full synchronicity with the role given to the victims in the horror stories.

Oh, good to know. I think I have the potential to make one of those rapist stories, playing both roles can be fun. Thank you!

I can only go by experience.

In short, I beleive that there are some supernatural experiences, but they are not so much supernatural than simply natural.

At the ages of 10 to 15 I was able to make clouds disappear by imagination andnbelief.

Once when I was about 8 years old, I had a perfectly good conversation in Greek with my friend's mother, but I did not understand what i was saying.

As a teenager in the 1980's I experimented with mind powers and the art of attraction via thought. I was able to make the things happen, or objects to come to me, as I visualised them coming to me. Amazing how many times it actually worked.

In the late 1980's I joined a Spiritualist group. One of our meditation circles we are asked by a division of the Police to psychically solve a case of a missing girl. Amazing how most of our visions were similar, and we named actual locations. Didn't get the results from the police, but it wasn't the first time the police used these.

Many times I had a hunch or premonition, and acted on it, and had amazing results. Once I was driving my car down a main road, and just had the strong hunch to brake before the intersection as a car would career through on a red light. As I slowly approached the intersection, a car careered through. I would have been killed. Many many other things like that in my 50 years on this planet.

idk about you but the closer a girl gets to looking like ronald mcdonald, the more aroused i become. CAV

where can we cast our eyes to @PoruMairu who thinks of himself a member of the true church. Helion.

Everything has a scientific explanation. What someone doesn't understand gets labelled supernatural. Remember when mental disorders used to be thought of as being possessed by evil spirits?

yes well, it's not about telepathy as such. Since that consists in the transmission of information between beings. But what shows in that transcript seemed supernatural to me for several reasons. Since, as the definition says, it can be related to clairvoyance or events that cannot be explained by natural laws. That is, supernatural.

There are people who believe in dragons.

I don't know what part of this story to take me seriously. You caught me
But I believe in premonitory dreams, by too obvious coincidences.

Exactly. Remote Viewing is considered supernatural. Clairvoyance also has to do with time. Which is reflected in the transcript.

but I am not sure of clairvoyance since it is taken differently or more spiritualist.

No clairvoyance means clear sight. It has to do with seeing things. You're thinking of precognition.

No you're thinking of mediums.

No, I didn't mean that. Precognition has only to do with future events. Not the past as seen in the transcript. But it is not claircognizance either as it also has to do with future things.

Nor the mediums that is something completely different to that story lol. I said it because they relate it to spiritual channeling.

Well yeah I mean, the Futhark runes are said to contain the secrets of the universe so there's that. There's also a tradition of female seers in my faith, so I guess that also applies because they can "see" the future.
