Happy Girl: There may well be a bio-physical basis to ESP, telekineses, precognition, ghosts, etc. There could be new scientific principles waiting to be discovered. Believing in irrationalities, however, does not forward knowledge. Instinct in humans is a myth. Instinct was replaced by a (presumably) thinking brain eons ago. Father Terrence

Hi all, What is often mistaken as a secret invisible power called woman's intution is more than likely a well developed attention to details and their significance along with an inner understanding of human character. Insight is a key part of female consciousness: observing and connecting small details and then accurately understanding the whole situation, person and the issue. The individual is always defined and understood in terms of others. The skill of developing accurate insights requires self knowledge and awareness, which women often have but words and language to articulate their perceptions have not existed. That may be the main reason that the feminine consciousness has slid thru centuries unobserved. There are three experiences that belong only to women, three ways in which women interact with the world, that can never be experienced by men. Each of these experiences predisposes women to perceive the world and their relationship to it in ways different to that of men. Thru the menstrual cycle, the feminine becme more aware of and in touch with the rhythmical and cyclic aspects of nature. Although pregancy is not often consciously chosen, the body of a mother becomes a statement of seflessness. The imprints on feminine consciousness are - creativity (providing the environment and watching) and the knowledge what it means to give to others. Nurturing begins as a self sacrifice and ends in pleasure and a necessity. This symbiotic relationship leads the woman to understand the importance of and possibility of such a mutually fulfiling relationships. The feminine consciousness thus becomes aware of and attuned to nurturance and possibility of a mutually fulfiling relationships. In essence, abortion negates what nature seeks to create. Is it wrong? Who am I to say that ? Is it unnatural ? Yes definitely. JMHO

I do not deny it. Read my posts. I merely say it has not been proved to my satisfaction. I am at heart a scientist.

happy girl, Has the phone ever rung (before caller ID) and you knew who it was before you answered. Or you will be thinking about a person and call them and they say, "I was just thinking about you!" Of course. There is an undeniable extra sense at work there. Bob

Aloha, Happy! >By denying [the paranormal's] existance, are we saying that we know everything there is to know about everything ?< Well - no. Some of us are saying that we will not believe/accept the claimed properties of the paranormal until they've passed some meaningful reality tests - especially tests which minimize subjectibve testimony. It's pretty obvious to all of us here (except maybe the proselytizers) that we know nealy nothing about anything. (Accept this as a confession - not a flame.) But that doesn't keep a lot of us from maintaining a healthy skepticism. Especially about things which seem to directly tickle our Belief Circuitry - like religion, Area 51, or the Jewish Fed Conspiracy. Or "fair valuation" among 'Net stocks. :-)
