It is believed that before our prehistoric forebears developed even the most rudimentary form of speech, they communicated their thoughts and feelings telepathically. One noteable victorian writer once said: 'We only developed speech so we could lie to each other!' Whether or not the latter is true, the fact remains that the human mind possesses incredible potential, and whilst the eyes are very often an unreliable source of information, the mind is able to produce data which is beyond belief. When cornered, even the sceptic will admit to having had at least one paranormal experience. And when one sits down to think about one's experiences, many 'unexplainable' things have occurred during one's lifetime. But why do some people have psychic experiences and others do not? What makes one person mediumistically inclined and able to 'see' or 'hear' spirits, and others completely oblivious to anything? In the early part of the twentieth century, Russian neurologist, Ivan Tutinsky, conducted research into the function of the brain of a so called 'psychic' person. The noteable scientist concluded that the pineal gland - the walnut shaped gland deep within the brain was in fact responsible. Tutinsky discovered that this amazing gland radiated electro-magnetic waves, and that it was larger in a child than it was in an adult, and marginally more developed in the female than in the male. This, he concluded, was the reason why children are often more prone to psychic experiences than adults, and why women are more psychically inclined than men! It's official then, women are more psychic than men.
It was further discovered that the majority of people do have some sort of 'paranormal' experience either before falling asleep - the hypnogogic state, or just before waking - the hypnopompic state, and that most people dismiss these experiences as being the results of fatigue. The truth is that whilst everyone is potentially psychic, it really only awakens in a minority. Contrary to the popular Spiritualist theory, being psychic or mediumistically inclined is far from normal. At least, according to professor Tutinsky the brains of mediums are abnormal, and exhibit an abnormality in the neurological electrical circuitry. It's official, then, I AM NOT NORMAL! NOTHING NEW THERE!
