[meteorite-list] OT: Dowsing is real, but exoplanets are dubious?!

[Rich Murray]

Just as the active software on a laptop limits powerfully the possible 
offerings of the global Internet, strongly held personal beliefs and habits 
of conscious experience strongly limit the field of awareness and the range 
of acceptible experience.

Thus, skeptics re the paranormal refrain from deliberate experiential 
personal exploration of traditions re expanded awareness and nonstandard 
belief and experience -- the only route to personal conviction in realms 
that are "hypernormal", ie radically not normal by mainstream scientific 
consensus.

A Ouija board device will indeed function well in detecting explosives and 
terrorists, and therefore also at detecting, by nonresponse, situations 
involving skeptics who set up simulations in which weapons and explosives 
are not carried by committed  terrorists bent on impending suicide and 
murder.

All Ouija board devices work according to the accepting faith and conviction 
of the user, for each person is in fact a unique individualized forever 
evolving expression of the totality of the single "hyperreality".
