Helen,

Hopefully I am a better class of skeptic as I don't know if your psychic experience was real or not. I know that Rhine's data at Duke was looked at carefully a couple of years ago and there is fairly strong evidence he forced the results. Recent experiments in England using, using a ganz field, indicated that there may be something there.

It is not the psychic experience alone that I consider, but what else it might imply. The stuff I read about the government's remote viewing experiments was fairly pointed in claiming that the controls were, at best, designed to support a forgone conclusion. If you have a link/book, please let me know.

Please don't not participate because Amos and I are into jargon (my choice of words). For me, if you say something I don't understand, I'll ask.

Your statement that psychic phenomena is linked to "ethics, principles, values, emotional feelings" is one I haven't heard . Could you expand on that?

Re Myers-Briggs - The first time I was INTP, A year later ESTJ.(which upset the group leader facilitating the seminar no end) I like Myers-Briggs as an excellent means to facilitate communication. There's not a lot of evidence that the classification is anything more than a situational snapshot.

Amos, I look forward to your return.

To All re: Troll's comments. As you may have guessed, we are acquainted. A burden I have learned to live with. I will comment that no matter how much he tries to hide it, he knows how to spell as many big words as I do. Just not what they mean. And while I do have delusions of being a intellectual. Troll, I have found, has delusions of competency. Despite ample evidence to the contrary, he persists in the delusion.

One truth, I can be very....acerbic...lets say. So if I get that way, feel free to call me on, respond in kind or send money.

Troll, I will ignore your first comments as they are clearly motivated by jealousy and the various personality defects the psycho-active pharmaceuticals haven't been able to correct.

As to your final compliment. Thanks. I try.

Regards

John
