and we dont know whether the hallucinations of these people are or are not actual happenings in other realities, or future or the past.
Quote:Perception and thought are different functions. What's really 'paranormal'? It's a non-word, communicating little. What does 'seeing things' mean? What one differentiates or integrates from observation in order to form useful experience, does matter because decisions are based on experience. What's at the root of 'paranormal' observations is the exact same thing which is at the root of 'normal' observations - just directed consciousness.
paranormal in our context means beyond normal measurement and examination means for our empirical science.
and moreover, if you boil it down to directed consciousness, then indeed it becomes rather trivial to conclude that as consciousness can exist on its own and even without a body, or even a spirit, it is also able to perceive and think. (therefore has potential)
