Study shows humans have psychic powers

Carol Forsloff - After eight years and nine experiments George Ben has found the holy grail of metaphysical science, in this case the fact that humans have psychic powers.

Using 1000 participants in his research, Bem, professor of psychology emeritus of Cornell University, has published a study that is scheduled to be published in the American Psychological Association's Journal of Personality and Social Psychology.

"Of the various forms of ESP or psi, as we call it, precognition has always most intrigued me because it's the most magical," said Bem,

"It most violates our notion of how the physical world works. The phenomena of modern quantum physics are just as mind-boggling, but they are so technical that most non-physicists don't know about them," said Bem, who studied physics before becoming a psychologist.

Bem interest in the subject of energy transfer or unexplained processes of information when he was asked to assess a study done by another researcher to determine its flaws and found there were none.

"The research and this article are specifically targeted to my fellow social psychologists," Bem said. "I designed the experiments to be persuasive, simple and transparent enough to encourage them to try replicating these experiments for themselves."

Bem found after measuring subject's responses before a stimulus was presented and watching certain arousal mechanisms occur before the subject had seen the item, showed that individuals do have some sort of precognition.  His other nine experiments demonstrated that certain unconscious influences can help predict future responses.

All but one of the nine experiments confirmed the hypothesis that psi exists at a far greater level than chance.

Like other researchers on the same subject, Bem tells us that existing research further substantiates that precognition is real, so he has been optimistic about these experiments.

Precognition studies by others have substantiated, according to the literature of the Esalen Institute, some of the observations made by Bem in his present material.    Dean Radin, for example,  has done experiments based upon the sense he believes many people have that something bad or good will happen and used physiological measures, just as Bem did, learning from them that the subjects of experiments actually experienced changes that were recognized as predictive of future events.

These studies, scientists say, lend themselves to the potential of the human brain being able to see into the future.
