DJ there are many documented areas of research on actual phychic capabilities. of course, many off them are tricks and are just for show, like spoon bending or palm reading and the like. but there are documented events like people being able to stop blood flow in parts of the body, people who alter their magnetic field (the woman who stopped the frog's heart could also move the needle of a compass) and of course the psychics who work regularly with police who were able to take a piece of clothing, hair or an object from the crime scene and locate the whereabouts of the criminal or victim. These are all completely documented and scrutinized and while current sciences cant explain it, it still happens. We can watch as monks stop their own heart and enter a state of 'near death' and then start it up again. They even (like the Russian lady) can cause other people's hearts to stop, no science can explain how it's done and yet it has been documented hundreds of times.
the most obvious one that we see all around us are people who are emotionally in sync with themselves more than others are, this is usually found in women and more specifically mothers who get 'gut feelings' about their children, even while in the womb or when miles away. it's constantly argued that the idea of being 'psychic' is actually just being extremely self-aware. Some people have an inate ability to play piano and have amazing coordination that goes beyond people who have studied th instrument for a lifetime. These people are in fact more aware of their hand and eye coordination as well as musically inclined in the brain. Some people are born with an amazing cardiovascular system, some people have eyes that are naturally more sensitive to the dark, and some people are born with a brain or nervous system that allows them to be extremely sensitive to their own body and the body's of other living things even on a cellular level.
When you touch an ice cube, you know its cold, when you taste it, it will taste like water. you can use deduction that i got it out of a freezer as well. A professional wine taster could taste that ice and tell you if the pipes that the water was retrieved from were copper, new or old, etc. The most elite wine tasters could even tell you its mineral content, it's temprature, how many people have handled it, etc. These are documented facts, these are trained people with sensitive sense of taste. it is a fact that when you touch something, you leave oils, skin cells, microbes, you name it, and they are unique to your particular DNA and even contain things like the soap you used that day, what you ate, and even what chemicals your glands were emitting depedent on your mood. As in the cases of the 'psychic police' they'll want to touch something from the victim, like their wallet, and then be taken to the actual crime scene.
when they get there, they'll touch the objects there, 'tasting them' in a sense, looking for things that 'taste like' the wallet. now, just as i could take chemicals to make them smell like various things, making you think a vile of compounds is a fresh apple pie to your nose to the point of actually seeing it in your mind, or how you can walk in to a restaurant and smell what they're cooking, even recieve images of it in your mind without seeing it, a psychic will retrieve the same type of data from the oils, skin cells etc from the objects. Detecting oddities like the jacket 'tastes like' a crowd of angry people, helping the detectives find probable locations of an abduction. (in the case of the 'angry jacket', it was found at a concert for black metal bands though the police never told the psychic where the jacket was found)
for many people, most people, the idea that a person can be sensitive to such things, like having an extremely tuned sense of touch, smell, etc is very odd, and then to say that those extreme sensitivities can be found in the brain, or even more so the emotional aspects of th brain, it becomes too far fetched for people to grasp. But in the same way a person can be born with 20/20 vision or better, every part of the body can be better or worse than others. Including the brain's awareness or level of capability and sensitivity.
really, there is nothing magical about psychic ability, we are a creature that is only equal to the sum of its parts, those parts being trillions of trillions of microscopic lifeforms sending and recieving data from outside the body, inside the body and through the bodies of others. Some people are simply able to recognize that more than others, and see, touch, taste and smell things that most others cant. Just as a person can have a better range of hearing than others, whether it by training or just by DNA.
if you think about it, man kind has created computers that can detect the content of something down to a molecular level, though the readings are always simplified as instruments cannot go beyond just recognizing what it is in a catagorical form. As with all of man kind's instruments, who's to say that animals like human beings can detect the same thing on an even more advanced scale? in fact, that has already been proven - it is the level to which it can be done that is out of our grasp and technology. We litteraly become the 3 blind men who are standing at different sides of an elephant trying to describe what it is through touch. We know its there, but our current technology wont let us see it, so we try to guess and come up with amazing theories of spirituality and the like, when in fact it's as normal as any of your other senses.
