DEFIANCE My Comments to The Guardian Article The psychology of
spiritualism: science and seances Edition
The idea of
summoning the spirits took thrilling hold of the Victorian
imagination – and has its adherents now. But the psychology behind
spiritualism is more intriguing

"Grey Walter showed that there
was a fraction of a second delay between the brain making a decision
and someone being aware that they were making a decision."
That, is an astounding revelation.
Is the "brain" it's own
controller, or, indeed, is it but a remote "psychic"
mechanism effected, at least, by other forces?
I say that "the personal, is
cultural", which effectively negates us as independent-minded
"individuals", and the quote seems to lead in that
direction.
But, there is the question of the level
of "Intellect" of those people used in the relevant
experiment.
They may have been people of a low
level of knowledge about the influences always active upon their own
minds, as by far most, in the christian, western world are, or, were.
But, most of us are or have been for
centuries, less-than-fully-aware people, easily led and very unaware
of our own mental, intellectual and psychic make-up, methinks.
Methinks methinks?
Up until very recent years, a lot of
people were unaware, or uninterested in the use and abuse of our
latent psychic powers, made so by the Roman expansion/colonialism of
the last 16 or so centuries, by old Israel's and Rome's errant
religions and religious teachings or stories, effectively dumbing the
populace down to terribly low levels.
In the 1960s when that particular
experiment was done, western peoples were very automaton in
character, sucked into living whole lives of idiocy, again, by the
churches, to following the flock along the "industrial"
path, which is perhaps to lesser degrees, the same today.
But almost everyone is much the wiser
in terms of the unseen forces active on animate creatures [etc.,],
and mostly - though I remain skeptical as to our actual Intelligence,
or our levels of self-knowledge - have some interest in their own
mental, intellectual and "souls" well-being, as-in being
secure against and free of forces not of their own.
So more than ever we take an interest
in what's going on in our own mind/brain combo, and myself excluded,
may have far better awareness as to what is going on inside our
mental processes.
So, the experiment I take the quote
from, probably should be done again, to see if it still applies?
As the dominant western, religious and
thus economic and social culture/s is/are completely awry, and
generally are totally ignorant of how to live Balanced lives, so
trashing everything natural and essential to the Global Ecological
Balance, it's little wonder the planet is kicking up, that there are
so many "anti-establishment" wars going on, and Anarchy and
Atheism are gaining popularity in the 1st world.
But I still believe that "the
personal is cultural" in most of what we do day-to-day, if not
in how we arrange our thoughts and beliefs, and accept as "good"
for us.
But that is as much the conscious while
cowardly decision of those "blessed" with a middle-upper to
upper class life and lifestyle. Very much a "blue pill"
choice as in the hollywood movie "The Matrix".
These decisions, of "me-first"
are nevertheless, incorrect and cultural.
Were the experiment done again,
perhaps, it be done on people from different cultures and religious
beliefs? Etc?
And my reply to a
Commenter “Cluedout”
Yep!
And..., "Whether one or one
hundred million people believe in astrology, makes zero difference to
whether it’s claims are valid."
Replace your word "astrology"
with any "christian or jewish" sect or religions' name, and
we have the same truism.
All western cults and "religions"
[the centuries old "rebranding" away from the term then
commonly applied, but less and less popular, of "cults"]
fall into the same category.
"Atheism" "Gnostic
Atheism" and even
"Scientific, Philosophical,
Gnostic, Atheism", based on the personal inquiry, sourcing
older, far far more credible "Eastern" Philosophical and
Religious Teachings and Techniques, Raja Meditation at the fore,
would lift the masses over these old western false god and false
religious hurdles keeping us stupid and gullible to the article's
"mediums" and silly, as well as personally and culturally
dangerous beliefs, etc.
