Every day I feel the presence of those we have loved and love who have died and gone before us. Remember that love continues and can be experienced through memory and emotion. Don’t loose those memories and don’t deny the emotion, and you too will feel the connection.
Joseph B. Rhine and Louisa Rhine began research in to psychic phenomena in 1927 at Duke University in North Carolina. J.B. Rhine recognized that answering the survival question depended first on investigating the ability of the living to gain psychic or psi information by other than sensory means (telepathy and clairvoyance), an ability for which he used the term extrasensory perception (ESP). Rhine began testing Duke students with specially designed cards to study ESP and later used dice machines to study psychokinesis (PK), the movement of objects by mental intention alone.
By 1935 Rhine’s experiments into the unexplained powers of the mind had shown sufficient promise to justify the creation of a special unit, the Duke Parapsychology Laboratory, where under his guidance and with help of a growing team of graduate students and colleagues, a new science was born, the experimental science of parapsychology. In 1937 the Journal of Parapsychology was founded as an independent peer-reviewed professional journal to provide an outlet for reporting the findings from the Duke research as well as from other laboratories at home and abroad.
ESP cards and dice games have long since been replaced by modern techniques that allow more subtle measurements of psi, such as by looking at the physiological changes or bioenergy characteristics of psychics and healers, or by measuring the telepathic awareness of emotional targets in a simulated dream-like situation. Efforts are made to detect clues that come directly from the psi experiencers themselves, whether they are healers, intuitives, or simply ordinary people who have these extraordinary experiences.
The Rhine research centre continues research into consciousness and psychic phenomena in the 21st century and It is a good place for all psychics out there to take a look at the important ground work and current research that goes on at Duke. You may find it illuminating….

There is little doubt that prior experience—both conscious and unconscious knowledge—plays an important role in decision making and action, but new research suggests another source of intuitive information, namely a non-local source of intuitive information, mediated through the brain, heart and the autonomic nervous system. Non-local intuition is viewed as a process by which information normally outside the range of cognitive processes is sensed and perceived in the body and mind as certainty of knowledge or feeling (positive or negative) about the totality of a thing distant or yet to happen. Researchers have found clear experimental evidence that the body’s psychophysiological systems can receive and process information about a future event before the event happens. A theory now exists describing how this may occur which explains how focused attention directed to an object of interest (e.g., a future business opportunity) attunes the bio-emotional energy generated by the body’s psychophysiological systems to a domain of quantum-holographical information, which contains implicit, energetically encoded information about the object. The focus of interest can be a material object or event, or a mental construct such as a thought or idea. Often the feeling is one of certainty and absolute—the intuition is experienced as beyond question or doubt—and the feeling can encompass positive emotions, such as optimism and excitement, or negative emotions like dread, fear, or terror.

Having been out of the scene for a couple of years with regard to psychic stuff, I am happy to say the head is clear and I’ve resolved a number of problems associated with the understanding of psychic phenomena and in particular mediumship. I hope to challenge and create debate within this field, and allow empirical evidence and data from research to support the existence of psychic function and to allow us to have a clearer understanding of it’s role and function, so we can ultimately use it in a more productive and fruitful way than is currently seen in the theatre halls around the country.
Having worked in this field for over 20 years I began to become dismayed at the way I and other mediums were working, and that mediumship was becoming a form of stage entertainment, and where a quick call to an 0905 number can “give you all you need”. This led me to step back, reflect, and begin my own enquiry and it was then the truth began to surface. Psychic ability is not special, I was not special, psychics are not special, mediums cannot prove survival and much much more….
Thank you for visiting my site. As part of a personal journey and quest into understanding spirituality, consciousness and transpersonal aspects of health and wellbeing, I have been off line for a while researching a Masters Degree in Transpersonal Psychology and Consciousness Studies, at Northampton University. The time has been fruitful, productive and insightful and has provided me with new perspectives on understanding the mysteries of consciousness and in particular, psychic function, intuition and exceptional anomalous experiences. Please be patient while the site is still being built and developed. Take a look at the short bio for more….Simon
