/posad/ - Paranormal

Welcome to /posad/, our version of /x/.
Try not to get too skitzo and keep things some what based in material reality here. Obviously the board is an ode the late and great J Posadas. Ayyy's are acceptable as well as other forms of conspiracy and general skitzo tom foolery. Just try to keep it from devolving to the point of trying to peddle obviously clear and fallacious conspiracies and retarded CGI cooming.

What do you think of 9/11?

I went on a road trip to area 51 last week.
AMA. FYI: We also hit up other spots./ We pretty much hit up the entire west coast. We hit up the four corners (Which is run by the Navaho community, apparently.) We also hit up Carlsbad cavern and went down south and had a craw fish boil. We Went to roswell also, but, area 51 was far more interesting. We went up to the gate after a crazy and grueling drive down a long ass dirt road in the middle of the nevada desert. The road to Tonopah. Btw the ride from Rachel to Tonopah is dangerous as hell. After the trip back from the gate we fucking saw them, we assume, testing air craft by mock dogfighting for a minute. We got a video but the video looks like dog shit.
We also saw a guy base jumping off this bridge in twinfalls and I have never been to a cave, so, carls bad was amazing. But Area 51 was just wild as shit. There were some pretty chill locals outthere, FYI.
Picsrel.

Which one are you looking forward to most?

What if biblically accurate angels were just aliens who were gangstalking clueless Christians? Or they're Christians' bad drug trips, idk.

Post sexy aliens.

NGL the Federation of Damanhur seems pretty cool.
What does /posad/ think about the Temples of Humankind?
Is your heart as light as a feather?

there are some spiritualities (Indigenous matriarchal ones for example) that believe women possess intuition like a 6th sense that men aren't able to tap into. And that it can be honed with practice.

I have pretty powerful intuition, always have since I was a kid. I started doing tarot readings when I was little for fun, and they ended up really scarily accurate. It's all intuition based, the way I read them. I freaked out several family members- aunts uncles, mom, grandma with my readings to the point where they were made uncomfortable. I've predicted severe illness, infidelity, and minor issues too with my card readings. I get told a lot that my tarot readings aren't any fun because I don't sugarcoat bad things. In fact I think I have more of an ability to predict bad things than good.

I am also really good at reading people, which I usually pass off as being a perk of being a wallflower, but I can even guess people's first names when I've never seen them before sometimes. Sometimes I even get such a powerful feeling that a person or animal's name is 'wrong' somehow to the point where I have a hard time using the name they give me. Like, one time I was riding a trail horse with a name like Red or something, but I could not stop calling her Daisy- in my mind, when I was petting her or riding her. It was really weird. Probably sounds retarded but I wonder if it's some kind of weird intuition or something.

At this point I always listen to my intuition. If I get a bad feeling about something. My husband believes I have very strong intuition as well, and always listens to me if I decide to cancel a plan or leave something early because it's never steered us wrong. I think it's the closest thing to a religious belief I practice- if I get a gut feeling about something I don't do it, or if someone gives me bad vibes I gtfo.

few examples off the top of my head:
- when i was 16 I crashed my car going 80 into a telephone pole and the tree line in a ditch, with my mom in the passenger seat. she only came out with cuts from the glass, I didn’t have a scratch.
- some dumb friend of mine was getting catfished and subsequently extorted, and basically made a deal to “sell me” to them since he knew i was well off in exchange for being left alone. instantly knew something was up with the girl that hmu. few days later he attempts suicide and she’s arrested for something completely unrelated.
- i was in a bad place in high scPost too long. Click here to view the full text.

here's an interesting scientist named Rupert Sheldrake who studies phenomena like pets sensing when their owners are coming home, people feeling someone staring at them from a distance, or knowing when someone is about to contact them. I’ve had these experiences myself.

Sheldrake calls this the "Morphic Field." He believes some beings can communicate mentally, possibly through some form of quantum energy. For example, certain birds navigate using cells in their brains that sense Earth’s magnetic field, directing them where to go.

But you can’t replicate the Morphic Field in a lab. If a friend’s worry sends a mental signal to me, you can’t force it to happen repeatedly, so science can’t study it properly. This is why science often fails when dealing with human experiences.

Take the statement, "Pizza makes me happy." A scientist might test this by giving me pizza for every meal for a month. When I inevitably get tired of it, they’d conclude, "Pizza does not make this person happy." But that’s wrong—pizza does make me happy, just only when I’m in the mood. The same unpredictability applies to psychic phenomena if they depend on passion or spontaneity, they can’t be summoned at will.

If phenomena like psychic connections or the 'Morphic Field' can't be reliably replicated in a lab, does that mean they’re beyond scientific study or does science need new methods to understand them? How would you design an experiment to test subjective, unpredictable experiences like intuition or emotional resonance?
