FriendlyCanadian said:I love pen and teller don't get me wrong, but they find the hugest rejects who oppose the point they are trying to get across, the most unbelievable most radical and rediculous people imaginable. Obviously for viewing pleasure, but it doesn't really provide much of a credible source.
I can trace my ancestry back to some insignificant German nobles and it doesn't impact my life in any way other than understanding where I cam from. I make my life in my own way and my grandfather's pedigree didn't give me any solace...I had to make it on my own steam.gjohnson5 said:My opinion is swinging like a pendulum....
I know of some black folks that were looking for a way to trace their ancestry back to Africa. Unfortunately you can trace it back to ports of slave trace , but there's no "Western" way of find out what African tribe you belonged to
I talked with an African on post that told me there are Shaman in Africa that with a simple palm reading can tell people all the time what tribe they belong to as well as tell them things that they should do.
So I'm not sure.

It does if they heard voices in their head and people can "make it" peddling bullshit.....televangelists are a perfect example..FriendlyCanadian said:just cause you had to make it on your own steam doesn't make a life any less credible for those who've made it seeking guidance.

Yeah, my vision is 20/60.....eddymerckx said:i don't believe i even have ASP (adequate sensory perception)
I chalk the family stuff up to "intuition." By that I mean when you know someone very well you can anticipate certain things about their behavior. I could finish my ex-wife's sentences and I don't chalk it up to ESP.nefertiti said:Java....do you have no sense of wonder? That's kind of sad to me....to be SO confined by what can be proven.

I believe most people who claim to be psychic are most definitely not, and fraudulent. I do believe extra sensory perception exists however, if only in the connection we have to those we love most. My father has an uncanny connection to me that has occasionally been precognitive. I'd rather not get into details, but what he does can only be explained by something currently beyond our understanding.
Maybe I don't have a sense of "wonder" but it has sheltered me from con men that wanted to tell me everything I would like to believe in...just sayin'nefertiti said:Java....do you have no sense of wonder?
