Psychic Abilities Are Real

“A course in miracles claims that the mind has abilities far beyond what our modern world deems possible” (2012, circle of a, Mackie). There are stories that there are sightings of people using psychic abilities. There are also people who swear that they have seen psychic abilities. However, some might say that those people who swear by it, must be watching too much T.V if they say they have seen it. Psychics could be real or they could be fake and who knows whether they are being realistic about it or not. There are no such things or people like “Sam Winchester”, a star character from the Supernatural series that’s on the television late at night. Sam Winchester has psychic abilities though he uses them to help other people and kill demonic things like demons and the devil. There are no reasons not to believe that being psychic is real. In our world, never knowing the facts about scientific discoveries that may have occurred about real psychic sightings of people of people with psychic abilities, though they don’t even knowing they’re using their own psychic abilities has probably happened. It is best when holders of psychic abilities get help from a scientist or a doctor because they can help the person control them or get rid of the abilities for good or can just harnesses the abilities. Psychic people can pass on their genetic genes to their offspring and their kids can become psychics and never knowing why their kids are different compared to other kids and being supernatural while being able to do more extraordinary stuff like levitating, moving things with their mind or even tapping into other people’s emotions. It is very rare to find someone with psychic abilities because there is never knowing who might have psychic abilities. However, there are also people that call them “psychics” who just pretend to tell the truth or lie, just to make

First Randy talks about Russia, where most of the psychic stories come from. He investigated the Russian Institute of the Brain to see if a "psychic" can control people's brain waves and blood pressure. The psychic tested a man who was unaware of what was being tried.

    To clarify what's out there to be investigated, Southall begins the handbook in earnest by defining the terms, since ghosts, spirits and poltergeists are not interchangeable and represent quite different phenomena.Ghosts and apparitions are a kind a recording on the environment - a residual energy that can come from a person, animal or even an inanimate object. We can experience these lingering energies by sight, sound, smell and touch. Spirits are what people most often think of as "ghosts." A spirit is the "actual sentient presence, or soul, of an individual or individuals who have remained in the material world after his or her physical body has died." Southall continues by describing different types of spirits and the reasons they may have stayed behind.…

    Schizophrenia one of the more common psychological disorders, also called mental illnesses. Schizophrenia affects behavior as well as thoughts, and encompasses many different things, including auditory hallucinations and mood swings. At some point this disorder may even manifest itself into a psychotic phase that involves delusions and disorganized speech along with bizarre behavior. People who have schizophrenia believe that the hallucinations are real, and even if they don’t believe that the hallucination is real, it seems real. The way that schizophrenia manifests itself is different from person to person. Some people can manage to live life fully independently with schizophrenia, and with medication can keep it under control. However, other people may never be able to function fully, and will not be able to live on their own due to the delusions and hallucinations. In severe progressions of this disorder, people lose the ability to keep in touch with reality, and become paranoid and anti-social, while often being petrified of the hallucinations that they live with.…

    About one percent of the American population suffers from schizophrenia. The term schizophrenia literally means the "splitting of psychic functions" (Pinel, 447). At the time of the early 20th century, this is what was used to describe what was assumed at that time to be the primary symptom: the breakdown of integration among emotion, thought, and action (Pinel, 447). Schizophrenia is a form of psychotic disorder which causes people to have difficulty interpreting reality. These individuals develop changes in their thinking, perceptions and even behavior. It is believed to be caused as a result of a disturbance in the development of the brain. It is still uncertain, however, whether the disorder is characterized only by genetic factors, or if it is influenced by outside environmental factors as well.…

    Schizophrenia is a mental health condition that often goes undetected or many times misdiagnosed with other mental health issues. It is one of the most disabling and emotionally devastating illnesses around. Because of its recent discovery in 2009, much is not known about this illness. Like many other diseases, schizophrenia is hereditary. It is more common than not; nearly one percent to one and a half percent of the U.S. population has been diagnosed with this disease during some point in their life (Weill College of Medicine at Cornell University). The most devastating part is that there is no cure for this disease, the good news is that there is treatable medicine that is now available. Schizophrenia is not a multiple personality disorder like many believe. Contrary to common belief people who take medicine for schizophrenia are able to live normal fulfilling lives.…
