Telepathy Reality: Professor Robert Morris

[Ivan Seeking]

At last week's British Association meeting, Professor Robert Morris of Edinburgh University's Koestler parapsychology unit announced that his team's experiments continue to suggest the reality of telepathy

Just his team?

I'm an enthusiast and a skeptic. I think there is something out there we haven't explained yet (cliche, yes) but got to watch it. Remember, he said 'suggests' not 'flat out says'.

However, a close family member of mine reported to have woken up one night and predicted a male child would be born in our family at some point. It was not long afterward that we did learn another close family member was pregnant with a 'boy'. Also, this close family member claims that she sometimes senses her dead relative in the room with her (ie through a very specific smell).

However,

Ongoing experimentation points to a number of factors that might increase a subject's telepathic hit rate, including a pre-existing belief in psi phenomena, a relaxed demeanour and, perhaps more worryingly, scoring highly on the schizotypal personality disorder test, ie being a little odd.

Pre-existing belief in psi phenomena (conditioning), a relaxed demeanor (more in tune with input stimulus received) and being a little odd (in other words, you may see things but it boils down to you being more likely to see things). So you see, there are a lot of things to look in.

I'm not trying to debunk this but it seems inadequate. There is still a lot more to look into. Just remember, people are more keen than you might imagine. Maybe it doesn't require paranormal abilities to read other people (we know this as fact).

Twin Telepathy - the psychic connection

There is certainly intersting stuff. Maybe I sound a bit crack pot but we still don't know exactly how the human mind works. Just let the speculation stop there; before it begins. Unless of course, you just want to have fun with the idea. Then I'm all ears because I am wanting fun to :)

Telepathy, the ability to communicate thoughts or feelings without the use of physical means, has long been a subject of fascination and debate. Many have dismissed it as nothing but a myth or fantasy, while others have claimed to possess this ability. However, Professor Robert Morris of Edinburgh University's Koestler parapsychology unit has made a bold statement at the recent British Association meeting – that his team's experiments continue to suggest the reality of telepathy.

This declaration by a respected academic and researcher is significant, as it brings the topic of telepathy into the realm of scientific inquiry. The Koestler parapsychology unit has been conducting rigorous experiments in the field of parapsychology for many years, and their findings have been met with both skepticism and interest.

While the concept of telepathy may seem far-fetched to some, it is important to approach this topic with an open mind and consider the evidence presented by Professor Morris and his team. Their experiments may provide valuable insights into the human mind and its potential abilities.

Moreover, the fact that a prestigious institution like Edinburgh University is actively conducting research on telepathy lends credibility to the existence of this phenomenon. It is a reminder that there is still much to learn about the human brain and its capabilities.

Of course, further studies and experiments are needed to fully understand the reality of telepathy. But Professor Morris's announcement is a step towards acknowledging the possibility of this ability and exploring its potential applications.

In conclusion, Professor Morris's statement at the British Association meeting has sparked renewed interest in the topic of telepathy and opened up new avenues for research. It is an exciting time for the field of parapsychology, and we should approach this topic with curiosity and an open mind. Only through continued scientific inquiry can we uncover the truth about telepathy and its role in our world.
