I know the skeptic's motto is "If you can't measure it, then it's not there." The human nervous system is more sensitive than any so-called "scientific" instrument. The ancient yogins said the human body is the first place to start to look at science because everything "out there" is really our own interpretation. It's our consciousness that makes sense of the senses. So just who is fooling themself here? Some people do not realize just how sick they really are. That's what I talk about blaming someone or something else.

I would like to point out these views are not those expressed by Jacka. Most of this comes from the book "Supersensonics" by Christopher Hills.
Since I'm on the subject, Hills states that most interference in divining comes from the operator. Things like "doubt, wishful thinking, intellectual analysis,..." etc.
"The demarcation of what is physical and what is not, is simply a line drawn by man and based on the awareness of the majority."
"Any definitive label, any verbal or conceptual construct applied to the observed phenomena of matter is the product of man's mind, a conditional device limited by the confines of an unproven linear system of linguistic symbols."
"...To call something "Electricity" or Energy and explain the way it works, does not tell us what it is. This is also true of everything else from flying saucers to thinking processes. To think that we are somehow wiser by having an explanation, whether farfetched or simple, is a self deception even when it gives us powers over natural phenomena such as we acquire through science. We can have all these powers whether through science or psychic training and still be a complete dummy in knowing our own Self, its ego trips and its purpose here on earth."
There a lot more, over 600 pages.
