After seeing just about everyone here running in circles between the afterlife is real/isn't real factions, I honestly thought if, at night, just before I went to sleep, I just asked whoever created the universe to reveal themself to me, in a way that I could understand the event was of their design, they would. I admit I didn't ask every day, but I sure thought about it every day.
After six months, as you can imagine because I'm not on TV screaming Eureka! nothing has happened. This has led me to four possible conclusions:
A) there was no intelligent force directing the machinations of the universe
B) there was such a force, but it chose not to reveal itself to me
C) there was a force, but it was prevented from revealing itself to me, either by me unknowingly or by a third party (which I consider the scariest option)
D) my experiment was not simple enough
My belief is that what is needed in the field of parapsychology is an experiment so simple, without any artificiality involved, that anyone and everyone in the world can do it and get the same result.
For example, to test that the sun exists, I need no beliefs, no measurements, no electrodes, nothing but my skin to feel the heat or my eyes to be see the light; completely natural. Simple. If I want to test that water is wet, I can drink some from a faucet or swim in a pool. Simple. Surely such an experimentioned must be possible in parapsychology, yes? What are your thoughts?
