What exactly is the Paranormal? The dictionary definition says:- Abnormal, esp. psychologically.
Personally I prefer to think of it as phenomena as yet not understood by science. If you think about it, how many of us understand the WWW.? Somebody obviously does because it´s here and in daily use all around the world! However we take it for granted, yet it is something of a miracle.
Television is another of our daily miracles which was unthinkable just a couple of hundred years ago who would have believed you had you then stated that pictures from any part of the planet (or off it)could be received instantaneously in your living room? They would have labled you "crank" quicker than greased lightning!
Today anything not understood is still ridiculed as unscientific or just plain nonsense and those of us who profess to be able to do anything so dubious as receive the thoughts of others or see auras are still, in the main, labled "cranks"
Many other subjects such as ghosts, aliens and UFO´s and so called fringe beliefs are lumped together under the heading Paranormal.
If these subjects were fully understood and explained they would then be called science , so what we are really looking at is not something "abnormal"but something quite normal once it´s governing rules have been understood.
Take the "science" of seeing auras for example:-
It is now a recognised fact that all living things give off an electromagnetic force field that emanates beyond the limit of their bodies and is visible by means of Kirlian photography, a technique that is used by hospitals to do what clairvoyants have claimed they could do for centurys....diagnose illness.
Auras have always been visible to me and I remember how surprised I was as a child to discover that other people especially adults didn´t see them.The usual comment when I "saw" something was "that I had a very vivid imagination". Later in life a friend asked me to analyse what happened when I saw auras, so sitting in the bath I watched the colours flow around me and realised that I had my eyes out of focus, which for me was quite easy as I have a lazy left eye.If you have never tried to keep your eyes out of focus you´ll realise how hard that normally is (if you don´t have the benefit of a lazy eye!)This then was the governing factor to seeing auras.
Bending spoons is something else that was labled "hoax" by the members of the Magic circle when Uri Geller became famous for the phenomena.They claimed that anyone could do it once they knew how.From this I have to deduce that they knew the governing formula for spoon bending whereas Uri Geller was doing it spontaneously
Over the years I have becomeconvinced that everything has a validand readily understood explanation and over the next few weeks I would like to share some of my own findings with anyone who might be interested.
Given the fact that i am no scientist these explications will no doubt beopen to question and even ridicule, which bothers me not one whit, but none-the-less may give you pause for thought.
Once again, I am not trying to convince anyone of anything, everyone must form their own opinions. All I know is that these ideas or findings make it easier for me to cope with this dimension and it´s conundrums! Perhaps these ramblings may assist those of you who have not arrived at similar conclusions to look at life from a different angle. If not, I will have had a lot of fun writing which I acknowledge is very self indulgent of me, but so what? Life was meant to be fun!

I have witnessed the "paranormal" and I know people can see, feel, touch or intuit such occurances in life, as it is a part of life to which we may understand more in the spiritual realm. But I too don't give a whit what the sceptics may say because if they refuse to recognize the mirical of life that is there unfortunate problem not mine.
I think it is fear that keeps a lot of people from these experiences. I once showed a fellow in a hardware store how to water witch using two bent copper rods placed inside of coke bottles so he could see that I was not touching them. I then put a five gallon bucket of water on the floor as I walked past the bucket the rods crossed as I knew they would but it totally freaked him out as I did not know it would.
He became very fearful as if I were the devil himself yelling no no this can't be as he back out the door with his eyes bugging out in abject fear and I was just trying to show him how to find water for a well on his property.
Maybe Im naieve but I felt sure any one could do this. It works for more than just water it seems to work for just about anything you are looking for.
Thanks Lynne for your article. Peace Tom

Hi Tom, Yes, water divining is another of those"spooky" subjects that I will be addressing soon, I managed to stop some workmen from destroying a friends floor when their electronic device said the water leak was more or less in the middle as my rods said it was under the wall, which it was! Yes I´m sure that a lot of people could divine if they would just try, thanks for your contribution
