Channeling Pt. 4: New Paradigm Paranormal Researcher Dr. Jon Klimo

March 12, 2010 - 11:28 am 1 Comment

Parts One-Fourteen: In this film series, new paradigm paranormal researcher Dr. Jon Klimo discusses his book Channeling: Investigations Into Paranormal Sources of Information. Dr. Klimo is widely considered to be the world’s leading authority on channeling and his book is a comprehensive exploration into the phenomenon of trance-mediumship. For thousands of year, there have existed oracles, or people who receive and convey messages from other realms, divine and otherwise. In Ancient Egypt there was the Oracle at Delphi, and in modern Tibetan culture, the State Oracle of Tibet is still an important and revered figure. Listen to Klimo expand on this subject and venture into the multidimensional territory of communication from entities or “absolute spirit” that comes from another level of reality. It is supposedly an ability we all possess—channeling—and most often is experienced during the creative process, Klimo explains. Many artists find inspiration and their subject matter in a world beyond the self, or in other realities. It is an age-old practice found throughout the world’s religions—and in spiritual experience in general.

The Ultimate Debunking Pseudo-Skeptics Treatise, Refutes James Randi, Michael Shermer, CSICOP, etc.

December 21, 2009 - 1:49 pm 25 Comments

See my new SCEPCOP website debunking the arguments of paranormal skeptics and debunkers, exposing the fallacies, biases, and double standards behind their reasoning, intellectual, informative and widely acclaimed in parapsychology circles. Don’t let the skeptics get away with flawed reasoning just because the media does.

Whitley Strieber, Author and Radio Host of UnknownCountry.com writes about this treatise:

“From Whitley Strieber:

“A Brilliant Rebuttal to the Skeptics

It is no secret that many scientists are becoming disenchanted with skeptics groups and the skeptical paradigm in general. Skeptics groups have been losing membership, and some institutions now take a dim view of membership in groups like CSICOP, the Committee for Scientific Investigation of Claims of the Paranormal.

This is because of a growing concern that skeptics groups and publications are interfering with the progress of science by attempting to compel the rejection of evidence that does not fit existing models of reality. Institutionalized skepticism is beginning to appear more like a religious practice, far removed from the ideals of scientific objectivity which inspired founders such as Dr. Carl Sagan.

Winston Wu has now written an essay that brilliantly and decisively rebuts the general skeptical arguments against the paranormal. This is among the best essays ever written on this subject, and deserves extensive study. The essay carefully moves through the entire skeptical lexicon of arguments, rebutting each in turn.

As it reveals the fallacy in each argument, it builds a crucial case against the whole skeptical approach to reality, suggesting that it is, essentially, a form of superstition that has the effect of filtering out data if it cannot be explained by accepted scientific theory.

The essay suggests that a clear-eyed view of evidence is essential, and that it is lacking both among believers and skeptics. Essentially, Mr. Wu is asserting that the evidence is undigested by science as a result of its being too uncritically embraced by believers and rejected by skeptics.

Mr. Wu identifies a difference between healthy skepticism and the cynicism of blanket rejection of evidence.”

Other reviews:

“Your article “debunking pseudo-skeptical arguments on paranormal debunkers” is a must read to any person who seeks to understand the nature of pseudoskepticism.”

“Your treatise “debunking pseudo-skeptical arguments of paranormal debunkers” is the best refutation of pseudoskeptics’ arguments, tactics and fallacies to reject the evidence for paranormal phenomena. I’ve recommended your article to every person that I know.”

“I’m Jürgen and I write you from Germany. Let me tell that your article about debunkers/pseudo-skeptics of PSI is the best handbook to debate with them. I used to debate pseudo-skeptics as a pastime, using the arguments and tactics of your article.”
