"The year I was born, in 1981, the US Government decided magick was real. Well, the “US Government” is of course an abstraction—specifically, Congressional Research Service was commissioned to do a report on psychic phenomena and offered the following conclusion: “Recent experiments in remote viewing and other studies in parapsychology suggest that there exists an ‘interconnectiveness’ of the human mind with other minds and with matter. This interconnectiveness would appear to be functional in nature and amplifi..."

"In 1971, Ransom surveyed criticisms of the parapsychology research published since 1940. The foremost of these criticisms was the non-repeatability of experimental results. Both critics and supporters of psi research have long been in agreement that parapsychology experiments are not 100 percent repeatable, and this is what continues to fuel the arguments about the very existence of psi. Parapsychologists are puzzled whether non-repeatability is due to the erratic nature of psi itself or to experimental factors, su..."

"Martin Ebon is a well-known figure in parapsychology circles. From 1953 to 1965 he was administrative assistant of the Parapsychology Association in New York set up by the world-famous medium and clairvoyant, Eileen Garrett. While occupying this post, he had more than adequate opportunity to meet the outstanding personalities in psychical research and parapsychology. He traveled extensively on behalf of the Association's research endeavors. His lectures, reviews, research reports, articles in magazines, and his boo..."

"The condition of spirit possession, (that is, full or partial takeover of a living human by a discarnate being) has been recognized or at least theorized in every era and every culture. In 90% of societies worldwide there are records of possession-like phenomena (Foulks, 1985). Extensive contemporary clinical evidence suggests that discarnate beings, the spirits of deceased humans, can influence living people by forming a physical or mental connection or attachment, and subsequently imposing detrimental physica..."

"Abstract - In July 1995 the CIA declassified, and approved for release, documents revealing its sponsorship in the 1970s of a program at Stanford Research Institute in Menlo Park, CA, to determine whether such phenomena as remote viewing "might have any utility for intelligence collection" [1]. Thus began disclosure to the public of a two-decade-plus involvement of the intelligence community in the investigation of so-called parapsychological or psi phenomena. Presented here by the program's Founder and first Direc..."

"Avoiding the many negative aspects of life is not easy thing to accomplish in our often-hectic and overcrowded society. Under some circumstances, the best one can do is avoid as much negativity as possible and hope for the best. However, no matter how helpless or trapped one might be, a lot can be done to avoid potential neg. problems and develop some natural resistance. While many of us cannot easily choose the way we live, we all have the power to choose the company we keep. We can avoid those whom clash with..."

"Allen Hynek, the 'father of ufology', distinguished 3 types of close encounters:
- close encounters of the first kind: objects seen on the ground or at a short distance from the observer;
- close encounters of the second kind: the same, with physical effects on the environment, instruments, or observers;
- close encounters of the third kind: sightings of alien entities, either by themselves or in association with a UFO.
- Alien abductions, in which humans are allegedly kidnapped and subj..."
