Topic > Essay on Parapsychology - 1655

Parapsychology is the study of unusual events commonly associated with human experience. It is scientific and academic compared to the “Psychic” you might see on the street corner. Parapsychology is not even the study of extraterrestrials or UFOs. Parapsychologists are often mistakenly called psychics because that's what comes up when you look for one in the phone book. However, parapsychologists study psychics. These scientists use human experiences such as extra sensory perception (ESP) psychokinesis, out-of-body experience, near-death experience, and reincarnation to study the supernatural world. These paranormal activities are studied through psychics. Extrasensory perception, called “ESP,” allows you to obtain information through senses beyond the typical five human senses. Such examples of ESP include telepathy, precognition, remote viewing, and déjà vu. Telepathy is basically communication between two or more people or things without actual sound. A form of this called tele-empathy is commonly believed to be present between identical twins and sometimes fraternal twins. “My wife and I are very close so she understood that he had these terrible chest pains. He wondered, however, why his legs below the knees were swollen and painful” (Anders Tele-empathy Sec.). This quote from Rich Anders helps convey the message that teleempathy is real and is not exclusive to just twins, but can occur between any two people who are very close in a relationship. One story of this includes a young girl who lived in Yugoslavia during World War II and was always accompanied by a bodyguard. It was blown up. Although she survived the explosion, her hearing was permanently affected, but she would not speak to any person... middle of paper... reigns among the lives of the Earth. Reports of near-death experiences state that we do not reincarnate immediately after death. The reason is because time does not exist in the spiritual realms” (Williams par.4). During reincarnation, there is time between death and your “new birth” and we know this because of near-death experiences like Eben Alexander's near-death experience. . NDEs tell us that there is time in the spiritual realms, so if reincarnation is indeed real, then we can choose when to reincarnate. In conclusion, I believe that these paranormal acts could be true, but I know of no other way to prove these theories other than these methods that parapsychologists use to study the abnormal world. These research topics answered my question and made it clear to me what exactly parapsychologists do and how they can prove the paranormal world is real or not.
