Fighting?
I posted about remote viewing being used by the givernment. Fred asked for links. I don't know what swamis problem is but it aint mine. He can fight not accepting it all he wants to. I have nothing to resist here.
(Wonder if it has anything to do with remote viewing not being very useful or applicable to raquet ball.) If it don't fit, you must aquit.

But the government's remote viewers failed to see the single most destructive terrorist event in history.
Oh wait, I forgot about the US government's conspiracy in favor of terrorist.

I doubt US has anything to do with the disaster because of one thing, the dollar has falled ridiculously low in the past few years. Perhapse it will pay of in the long run when Us takes control of the oil, don't know.
It's all math, arguments for and against that theory are not in what a man would or would not do, but are economical. If it pays of in the long run, I would not be suprized that Us government would destroy those two buildings to get the nation all angry and aproving war.

By the way, even though during the cold war both CIA and KGB have name experiments with all kinds of wierd stuff hoping to use them, I think russians did even more experiments than americans.
But in late 80's such methods were abandoned because new technologies could be used for far more predictable and stable results
Police is another story, they still use it from time to time

"You're making things up.
Swami's never said things without evidence don't exist. He simply says there's no evidence, only talk."
Do you really want me to re-post the millions of times that Swami has made it very clear that he does not believe in the paranormal. Swami has stated this to me directly and many other people. Theres your proof now stop being so dumb!!!
Go have a search for through some of my UFO threads and read them properly. There are many occasions in which he has stated this. He's called it every name under the sun!
Don't f*kin argue with me boy because you can't be arsed to go have a look.
Thats the problem with half the assholes here. They don't actually read anything properly and then assume that you don't either. Well I have! I've been reading here everyday for years and if you call my fucking bluff anymore then I will spend the next 4 hours providing you with evidence as to why your soo fucking wrong but I can't be assed. You don't even deserve it. Now go back and justify and make the world fit your judgemnet, create your own reality bye.

I think that you are referring to 'psychics,' not "mystics," but do correct me if I'm wrong. Mysticism is the art of attaining to Union with Ultimate Reality. Sometimes paranormal events are said to occur in close proximity to a true mystic, but such events are not the object of mysticism. The mystic Union does not occur on the psychic or psychophysical levels, and so nothing is evident to others' perception of psychological or physical events.

fwiw: the buddha told his disciples that pursuing (& displaying) siddhis will not get one any closer to the ultimate goal, which is liberation...

I'm using the word 'mystic' here in the meaning it's generally assigned by S&P participants. That's to say people who claim the ability to do supernatural or magical things, but never do them, or worse, try to fool the gullible into believing they do.
It's a matter of semantics. I agree with your post otherwise.

There is no paranormal and you rot in te ground when you die and there is no 2021 or whatever the myan calandar is. Sucks but most probable.
I believe when there is good proof.
