I have the extremely rare psychic ability to predict the past. For instance, I predict that Abraham Lincoln will have been shot to death in Daimler Theatre (maybe Chrysler Theater, I’m getting the image of a car maker), sometime around the 1860s, give or take a decade.
So far, my predictions have been uncannily accurate. Yes, there’s sometimes a little fuzz around the images, psychic abilities aren’t exact, that’s why they’re so hard to replicate.
lol
Honesty: Yeah sure, you can quote whatever you want.
Marley: I basically see it as a rule by consensus either way. If people don’t believe that mathematics is an abstract system that is used to DESCRIBE the objective, but is not actually the objective itself. Then maybe they’re right, they’re not capable of talking to me. -shrugs-

I hope people recognize that, taht was me, and not Pucette, I’d hate to malign her name. ;p
Damn, dude, that gave me a momentary surprise. 
Hey, the word “Maeglin” has only one extraneous letter over Malign, and if you put it at the end it would be silent anyway Maligne.

But this is meaningless quibbling. The DESCRIPTION of mathematics is just as universal and objective as what the math actually is. It is consistent and remains the same, no matter what symbols you apply to it. If you changed a plus sign to look like a ¢, and a 2 to look like a ¦, and a 4 to look like a ¥, you’d STILL get ¦¢¦=¥.
You see, Mswas, you’re not understanding the concept of “burden of proof”. We don’t, nor can we, prove that psychic powers don’t exist. YOU (or, rather, psychics) do. Until then, saying that it “may” exist is just as meaningful as telling the story of Jack and the Beanstalk. What WE, the skeptics, have done is prove quite conclusively that one does NOT need to assume supernatural or paranormal powers in order to do the things that John Edward or Sylvia Brown do.
THAT’S the problem that many skeptics have with psychics. They perform a neat trick, leave people wondering, “How did they do that?”, and, lacking any immediate explanation, automatically assume that it was magic. It was the same sort of conclusion that the cavemen made when they saw lightning. And just like lightning, there is a perfectly sound and mundane explanation for the supposedly fantastic abilities that these charlatans have… the assumption of magic is unnecessary.
If you need to believe that you can communicate telepathically to make yourself feel special, go to it. But don’t feed us the whole “every belief is valid!” line of bullshit.
And I’m still waiting for you to explain how I twisted your words. I got my underpants all laid out on a plate with salt and silverware.
Somebody hasn’t read Gödel Escher Bach. 
Hi all,
I was looking for some John Edward information and found this link/thread.
Yes, I’ve spoken to a few ‘psychics’/intuitives over the years–but more importantly, I’ve learned to realize that my own spiritual team, and also, some who have crossed over (died), communicate with me in interesting ways. I call it ‘spiritual charades.’
For example, I was driving down the street and suddenly the image of my uncle popped into my mind. I’ve learned to recognize the difference between something that comes naturally from my ‘train of thought’, and something that ‘pops’ in out of the blue. When I noticed my uncle’s possible message, I mentally said ‘Hi, I see you.’ And the next image I get is one of "Ghost Busters’–which may not mean anything to you, but to me, "ghost busters’ is one who can detect those who have crossed over. The message/image/sound/smell/knowing etc. that is conveyed may be very specific to the person sending it, or to you and how you would interpret it.
Those who are motivated to disregard these messages will always find rationalizations. No information will persuade you if you are motivated to attribute it to something else.
When someone is actively dying, it is common for people to have experiences of
I guess she crossed over too.
This thread has crossed over.
“I see closed threads”
In other words you have no proof of anything.
Well, that was worth bumping an eleven year old thread.
You know, I was watching parts of a South Park marathon yesterday and the episode about John Edward (Biggest Douche in the Universe) was in there. Is it just coincidence that that particular episode about John Edward was shown on Comedy Central last night right about the time this thread was bumped? I think not!
I know exactly what you mean. Unfortunately, my spiritual team is currently undergoing a forced sale because the owner, Thoth-Amon, was heard making anti-Cimmerian remarks.
I think about 99.99% of the planet would think of the movie.
I know if I had died, and wanted to communicate with loved ones, I’d choose ‘Ghost Busters’ as a way to let them know I was OK. I mean, why say “Hi mom, it’s me Drew and I’m doing great” when I can use a Hollywood blockbuster to do it for me?
Whenever I think of these idiots I recall Stephen Leacock’s hilarious take-off Personal Adventures in the Spirit World, which begins:
As Jesus said of the poor, the gullible will always be with us!
I’m not surprised. A man willing to wear horns that large is not shy with his opinions.
