ESP history
ESP is most commonly called the "sixth sense." It is sensory information that an individual receives which comes beyond the ordinary five senses sight, hearing, smell, taste, and touch. It can provide the individual with information of the present, past, and future; as it seems to originate in a second, or alternate reality. History: The term "ESP" was used in 1870 by Sir Richard Burton. A French researcher, Dr. Paul Joire, in 1892 used the term ESP to describe the ability of person who had been hypnotized or were in a trance state to externally sense things without using their ordinary senses. However, the phenomena of ESP activity has been indicated much earlier, some say even in Biblical times...
ESP in general
In New Frontiers of the Mind (1937) Rhine said that ESP experiments were changing the way people thought the mind sensed information. Historically learned people held the human mind received information through the ordinary five senses, and that therefore, the mind is subject to the laws of the mechanical world. Laboratory tests have attempted to determine the existence of ESP, and discover the physical mechanism by which it operates. "The mind has been equated with the brain, and scientists search to discover how ESP registers in the brain/mind." However, increasing evidence is demonstrating that ESP does exist, but it cannot be explained or quantified by physical laws; and furthermore, that the...
Psychic abilities
In the swirl of misconceptions, misunderstandings, and general confusion surrounding the fields of parapsychology and psychic activity, most people have no idea how to make distinctions between different types of psychic abilities. Wait a minute, you say, I didn't even know there were different types! You're in the same boat as most everyone else who has a basic understanding of psychic reading and activity. Little does the general public know, it's not all tarot cards and psychic phone reading -- There are sharply defined distinctions between everything from the obvious (tarot reading and telepathy) to the surprising (clairaudience, clairsentience, and clairvoyance). First, let's discuss what...

What is a Paradigm Shift?
A Paradigm Shift is when a significant change happens - usually from one fundamental view to a different view. In most cases, some type of major discontinuity occurs as well.Thomas Kuhn wrote about Paradigm Shift during the early 1960s, and explained how "series of peaceful interludes punctuated by intellectually violent revolutions" caused "one conceptual world view to be replaced by another view."In laymen terms, Paradigm Shift is a popular, or perhaps, not so popular shift or transformation of the way we Humans perceive events, people, environment, and life altogether. It can be a national or international shift, and could have dramatic effects -- whether positive or negative -- on the way we...
The tradition of quality associated with Gibson guitars dates as far back as the late 1800s when Orville Gibson started the company with his skill and interest in the guitar. Probably one of the keys to the success of the company then and now is its tangent for innovation. This innovation continued through economic hardship, which saw the introduction of the L-5, ES-150, electric guitar. While the company originated as a manufacturer of mandolins and guitars, it was the design of the ES-150, the company's first electric guitar that hailed them to the top of the list of guitar manufacturers. The innovation in the company originated with guitarists such as Lloyd Loar and Les Paul, whose ideas were...
Samhain - Wiccan New Year
Samhain is coming up fast! While most of us know Samhain as Halloween, what is this Wiccan Sabbat really about? What ways are best to celebrate the Sabbat? What special things should one do for Samhain? Why is Samhain so utterly cool? Read on, gentle reader :-)Samhain is usually pronounced "Sow'an," and is from the Celtic "Samhuinn" which means "summer's end." It is one of the doorways of the Celtic year - divided into light and dark, Beltane being the "light." It is the final harvest of the year, and thanks are given for the year's bounty.Many believe that Samhain and Beltane are the two times during the year when the "veil" between the seen and the unseen is at its thinnest. This is the magical...
Spiritual Healing: Jesus Christ in the Flesh
Does Jesus Christ live in heaven today in the flesh as a man? And if so, how does His living in the flesh relate to the physical reality of spiritual healing today?Christians live in faith that Jesus Christ is the Word that became a human being (John1:1,14). We believe that just as death came through a man, the resurrection of the dead also comes through a man (I Corinthians 15:21)...Jesus Christ.As the Son of God, Jesus many times referred to himself as being "The son of man." We intellectually understand Jesus as being both man and God, but do we really grasp its full implication?Jesus Christ Lives in the Flesh:II John 7 speaks of Jesus "as coming" in the flesh. The word in Greek, erchomai...
I wanted to share one of the most common healings I have done with psychic readings.Psychic Readers and Healers may want to add this valuable lesson to their toolkits. Testing someone's love can be a trap that may ruin your relationship with them. Learn why this happens so that you may avoid this relationship pitfall and heal the damage such tests may have caused to you, or those whom you love.Perhaps you have already read my poem "Emergency Broadcast" which closes with the lines:My love,do not test it.These words were an echo of advice I found myself providing to my clients on a frequent basis. Putting it bluntly, it is never good to test another person's love. If I met a client who seemed to...
The myth behind kissing under the mistletoe during Christmas time:Have you ever wondered where some of our modern traditions came from? As the Christmas season approaches, I have been doing some research regarding certain holiday-related topics. My findings may surprise even the biggest scrooge!Mistletoe has been revered by certain cultures for many, many years. The ancient Celts of Britain felt that Mistletoe held sacred powers of healing, and that it contained the soul of the tree from which it was cut. In the Celtic language, Mistletoe means "All Heal".The Druids also had an interesting ceremony that included Mistletoe. The pagan priests of the time would carefully cut boughs of Mistletoe...
Choosing Your First Guitar: A Beginner's Guide
Picking out what you want for your very first guitar is a difficult and tricky choice. You probably do not know a lot about guitars to begin with, and with the thousands of selections available, it is easy to be confused. The first decision involves choosing between either an electric or acoustic guitar. Once you have made that choice, the next thing you have to do is to determine the budget that you are comfortable with. If you are really serious about learning, it is recommended that you avoid buying a cheap and low-quality instrument, as such guitars tend to impede your learning. When it comes to upgrading, you will also find that getting a good price for your guitar will be difficult...
Escaping Wiccan Escapism
I cannot rightly say "all," or even "most," but certainly many of the Wiccans I have known or observed over the years appear to find in Wicca a unique brand of escapism from the travails of our modern world, a safe haven from the uniquely complex moral, environmental, social and political issues that define our era. They appear to seek to turn back the clock, to retreat into a pagan agrarian culture that no longer exists, or to "resurrect" a Medieval, "thatched-cottage-on-the-edge-of-the-woods" society that is far more a product of Renaissance festivals and paperback fantasy novels than of anything to be found in real, recorded history. This nostalgic (from the Greek nostos algos, or literally, "To...
The Revolution of Electric Guitars
Sometime during the 1930's electric guitars were introduced onto the music scene, which began a revolution in sound and technology that continues to this day. After Rock and Roll was born in the 1950's, it didn't take very long for electric guitars to grow in popularity and become one of the most coveted instruments of all time. Things really began to take off when the Beatles turned the world on its ear in 1964 by "invading America". Soon to follow were groups like the Rolling Stones, Cream, and the The Jimi Hendrix Experience. Music was forever changed and today electric guitars dominate the scene.Originally these guitars were made with only a single pick-up. Now they usually come with two or...
Psychic Readings
Psychics are people who allegedly have extraordinary mental powers or a sixth sense, generally known as ESP (extra sensory perception). Psychics look into the lives of people and predict future events. Derived from the Greek word psychiokos or psyche, which means soul or that which is mental, the word psychic is generally associated with fortunetellers. The word psychic was first used by William Crookes, a chemist for describing Daniel Dunglas Home, a famous magician (1833-1886).Psychic reading implies the art of reading a person's mind. It involves use of intuition and deep analysis of a particular problem or a query that is posed. Psychics use several techniques like psychometrics, astrology...
Are You Prepared For Oregon's House Of Mystery?
Some debates are everlasting: since the dawn of time, people have tried to establish whether paranormal activity exists in the world. This burning passion for the unexplained has been enshrined in popular culture: from the Twilight Zone to The X Files, we have seen alien and unearthly events being dissected from all sorts of angles, but we have still reached no firm conclusions about their origins. However, there are actual sites of so-called paranormal activity where evidence seems so irrefutable that even the most die-hard sceptics are tested. One of these sites is Oregon's House of Mystery.The House of Mystery is a roadside attraction in Gold Hill, Oregon, located to the north west of the town of...
Doctor Who is Back! The Time Lord Returns
There was always something a little risky in attempting to continue that venerable British sci-fi franchise, Doctor Who. Reviving a show that has run since the early sixties and gathered millions upon millions of loyal followers can be a dangerous business. Done correctly, though, it can be very profitable.So, when BBC Wales announced in 2003 that they intended to revive Doctor Who, fans met the news with concern and excitement in equal measures. The Doctor had enjoyed only one full-length screen outing since the show was cancelled in 1989 - the Fox Network's TV movie starring Paul McGann as the eighth Doctor - and poor ratings left little doubt that the franchise was truly dead and buried.So, it...

The ancient Egyptians possessed a fount of occult and mystic wisdom. In those days the Egyptian mystical brotherhoods or "Mystery Schools" at Luxor, Thebes, Memphis, and Heliopolis, collectively represented one of the several portals leading to the Universal Great White Brotherhood whose existence was established by cosmic beings for the purpose of advancing the evolution of man through the application of spiritual disciplines and the apprehension of Cosmic laws. These teachings were given in secluded places, in subterranean temples, and at night under the canopy of the heavens. Many eminent Greek sages studied at these Egyptian schools of metaphysics, among whom were Plato, Thales, Pythagoras, and...

Car Wash Drainage Slope and Gutters to Collect...
Should all carwashes being built in the future be commissioned to collect all the water coming off the cars to be recycled and reused? Should all rain water coming onto the property, perhaps even adjoining properties be sent thru a similar system to treat, filter and condition the water to be used to wash cars?Could you build a car wash which relied on rain storm water with reservoirs and recycling using all the water over and over again to prevent waste, conserve water and perhaps even not have any city water hook ups or sewer discharges at all; a perfectly environmentally friendly car wash system for the twenty first century? Well, yes this is all possible. How so you ask?Well recently a smart...
There are hundreds of different kinds of musical instruments in the world. Almost every country has its own traditional music and musical instruments that have been developed over the centuries. Each musical instrument has its own melody, pitch, rhythm, timbre, loudness, and duration, as well as the notes and chords.Musical instruments can be classified on the basis of the kind of instrument: chordophones (strings), aerophones (woodwinds and brasses), idiophones (percussion), and membranophones (drums). Stringed instruments or chordophones are those that produce sounds when a string is plucked or strummed. The kind of sound produced depends on the mass of the string, length of the vibrating portion...
I know I've dwelled on fairies for quite a while in my articles, but this mostly due to their constant reappearance, in some form or another, as times go by despite how much our world changes and becomes more modern. This last aspect of their existence, called "The Lands Beneath" by the Reverend Robert Kirk in his book, ties in very well with other legends that our Earth may be hollow.Hollow Earth Theory, if you are one hearing this term for the first time, is the concept, thought, or belief that the Earth is hollow. Normally it is believed holes exist at the poles of the Earth that can lead one inside. While no modern account really exists of anyone actually entering the Earth and returning to tell...
Thoughts on the After-Life
1st Internet Question: DO YOU BELIEVE IN REINCARNATION? FOR THOSE WHO DON'T UNDERSTAND REINCARNATION, IT'S A PROCESS WHEREBY YOU LIVE A NUMBER OF LIFE-TIMES IN ORDER TO PERFECT YOUR LIFE THAT COULDN'T BE ACCOMPLISHED DURING ONE LIFE-TIME BEFORE YOU ARE ACCEPTED IN THE GREAT BEYOND.The responses come from 2 Christian websites and 1 Hindu website1) Corbin says: I have some problems with this concept. Some say that all living beings are reincarnated, but I don't see how a cockroach can perfect itself to be a better cockroach to advance to a higher stage in life. And just thinking in terms of human beings, I don't see how one can become perfect, no matter how many life-times you live because there will...
Angels are making their presence felt everywhere. Once I started opening myself up to the draw of the angelic realms little reminders are catching my eye along the way.What is an Angel?There are lots of angel definitions that people have used to describe these celestial beings or even referring to earth angels lets have a look at a few descriptions I have come across:An Angel is : ~ a force of light, many different types, all working for a higher power ~ a celestial being that acts as an intermediary between heaven and earth ~ a messenger of deities, which link God and man ~ a kind and lovable person; one who manifests goodness, purity, and selflessness ~ a divine or semi-divine being who...
With the continuing expansion of English as an integral communications tool for education, science, technology, business and commerce, post-secondary education technical students are increasingly finding themselves in positions requiring them to manage high-technology studies in technical English. If you teach EFL, technical or business English, or teach a technical subject in English, you can use ESP workshops to successfully promote enhanced reading and comprehension in LEP learners.A group of my Limited English Proficiency (LEP) students studying an Electronic Engineering class on antenna design had an American textbook in English, so it was necessary for me to convert chapters of the text into a...

Turn It Up: Plugging Into The Perfect Guitar...
Yowza! Did you hear that hideous noise? It sounded like a combination of nails on a chalkboard, a cat in a dryer, and a baby wailing at the top of his lungs. Do you have any idea of what made that awful sound? As a long-time musician, I think I may have the answer for you. It's a guitarist fiddling for the first time with his new amp.Before I bought my first amp, I wouldn't have thought that a human could produce such a horribly wretched sound. But, now I know better. In the process of finding the perfect settings for your guitar and amp, you are sure to discover all kinds of disagreeable screeches and squeals, shrieks and screams. And, believe it or not, these unpleasant and often other-worldly...

David Pack & the Restored Church of God
I'm aware of David Pack, Pastor General of the Restored Church of God. I also remember clearly how he didn't even know me when he was with the Global Church of God (that I visited once) but said most people who change their names are off-the-wall (something to that effect) and felt I should take my former name of David Hoover back and should seriously consider it as he contacted his superiors (they must have told him to back off as he never brought it up again).After I thought and prayed about it - rejecting David Ben-Ariel for David Hoover as David Pack sternly suggested - I rejected the notion and questioned how anybody inspired by the Holy Spirit would make such a demand, as I honestly consider...
Egyptian Art-The First Great Artist
Everyone remembers the treasures Howard Carter brought out of King Tut's Tomb. The solid gold mask golden shrines, but what do we really know about these treasures? Most likely the gold is what we remember, but to an artist or historian there is much more. What you see when you look beyond the gold is something amazing. the artistry and craftsmanship that set the ancient Egyptians apart from the rest.The Greeks and Romans who were also great artist usually get the credit but remember, Egyptian art out-dates both the Greeks and romans by at least two thousand years. Some of the greatest works of art of the ancient world came from the Egyptians around the 18th to the 20th Dynasty's. Just look at some...

A Brief History Of Gibson Guitars
Gibson guitars have been around forever. It's funny, but although Gibson has produced some of the most amazing guitars in history, perhaps the company's largest contribution to music has been through their advancements in pickup technology. Gibson's first electric guitar the ES-150 was produced in 1936, and is still considered one of the best sounding electric jazz guitars in the world.In 1946 Gibson introduced the P-90 single coil pickup, which was eventually used on the first Les Paul model in 1952. The Les Paul was Gibson's first solid body electric guitar. In 1957 Gibson introduced the legendary Humbucker pickup on the Les Paul model, and an instant classic was born. The P-90 and the Humbucker...

Having played the guitar for a number of years, I am often asked this question by eager learners - "Should I start learning with the acoustic or electric guitar?" In this article, I'll talk a bit about both so you can come to an informed decision.First of all, let me get something straight. The actual notes and fretboards work the same for both, so if you start with either one, its always interchangeable, although the playing techniques might differ.Most younger players would gravitate towards the electric guitar thanks to MTV and the "cool factor". The acoustic guitar seems to have a more "folksy" image to it. Both sound very different, with the acoustic relying purely on natural acoustic...

I said as an entrepreneur, you are, that is to say Lawyers are the biggest problem facing American Business.She indicated that she would be helping people who fell get the representation that they needed. I indicated to her, that she was full of crap and only cared about making money illegitimately on the backs of hard working businesses. She said that business owners who did not keep up their...

Thoughts of Healing the Spirit
Healers have been around almost as long as human beings have been on this planet and as we have begun to understand more about medicine, microbiology, psychology and surgery. As a result many people have focused so much on technology they have come to believe Spiritual Healing has no longer a use full place in modern society to make people well.Indeed many people have come to believe that Healing as a profession is no more than some weird new age mumbo-jumbo. At the start of the 21st century the reality is very different.Healers are now being invited into hospitals by the health service. Doctors still provide placebos, often with considerable beneficial effect and in the only major research...
Mental Telepathy - Is It Real?
What is mental telepathy? Telepathy is defined as "communication through means other than the senses." Add the "mental," and you have the concept of minds sending and receiving information without the senses, using something akin to radio waves, "thought waves," or whatever the various theories claim.Mental Telepathy - A True StoryOne day, when we were children, my mother and father were in another city an hour or two away, with relatives. They were playing bingo at a church. Meanwhile, near home, my brother Andy was thrown to the ground by a bully. His collar bone was broken. At about that same moment, my mother stood up in the middle of the game, and announced to my father, "Andy has been hurt...

Amanda Vessel, "The Making of a Landmark: St. Anthony's Cathedral, Beaumont, Texas," Touchstone, vol.

Electric Guitar Packages - The All In One Solution
Electric guitar packages are typically an all in one answer to the problem of getting someone started with an electric guitar.Is it the best way to go for a beginner though?In my opinion, probably not. Playing a new musical instrument is not only a labour of love, it is a war against embarrassment. Playing any instrument for the first time could be a painful experience for any unwilling audience and an affront on your ego!So as far as a guitar is concerned, a good acoustic guitar would be my personal preference to learn an instrument.Having said that, there is no denying that an electric guitar is a sexy instrument, and some people will not be denied.
