you talking about brandi? or whatever his name is offering 1 million to an act of psychic 'power'?
id have to look at the rules but im pretty sure i could make him less skeptical.
use of logic along with basic physics principles... psychic phenomena actually make sense logically... not a fan of bandwagoners or sheep. |

His tests are fairly straightforward but everyone who's claimed abilities usually stays away, including psychic Sally. Others who try have been shown up as fakes.
People and the placebo effect influence healing, which have enormous power. Faith healers other than that are I'm sure trading hog wash. |

They are con artists, one of them in the states is worth 42 Billion, has a private plane and airstrip on his land, the only people God seems to look after are the ones like him.
Watch this....

Do you mean Peter Popoff, exposed by Randi using sound recording software, caught his wife reading from cards people where asked to fill in on entry, he went bankrupt lost everything,
Went on to become a millionaire again doing the same thing and selling miracle water,
If people want to beleive no logic or reason will deter them, |

i think people are always going to believe in things that are irrational nonsense...but i think it becomes a different matter when they are handing over their money to conmen because they are desperate for help..same goes for a lot of so-called 'natural' medicines and therapies. preying on the vulnerable...nothing else! |

while i don't condone the actions of most faith healers that use god as an excuse and trickery to fulfil 'miracles'.... perspectove can change the way you look at life and thus heal you in many different ways... people look at faith as if its a scrawney flea ridden cat of a word... but when not associated ith 'god' and instead applied to oneself faith shapes the world we live in.
I am not religious... i crate my world through perception... i simply share this idea with others and open doors for others to walk through allowing them to help themselves. problem with society is it's lazy and people dont want to do their work,instead they want a miracle pill when really the only person who can help .. is themselves. Saying this you can offer tools and experiences in order to show people said doors.

id ask how much does everyone actually know about 'spirituality' ( hate the word myself but for lack of a better term.
because half of you i guess have little to no awareness in such matters. which makes me laugh. Its like saying air doesnt exist if you are an organism that doesnt need to breathe. 9bad example perhaps)
in the same way that these people have faith that these things will 'heal' them.... you are all here in a very closed minded state which instantly and in the same way does the opposite....
Welcome to the paradox that is duality. |

i can empathise completely with someone finding comfort in their religion or particular spritiual belief..i just find it very uncomfortable when this comfort seems to come with a price tag!
there's a massive difference between gaining spiritual comfort, and someone claiming they can actually heal someone! |

Strangely (considering the disparaging way I generally deal with these issues)
I think that there is something in this faith healing malarky.
But only if you believe that the mind has much untapped power over the body.
There have been many unexplained cancer remissions.
I think it has buggerall to do with faith but I would like to know what it is. |

Loads of fakers. But then, science is a closed book and only tries to base theories on observable and repeatable phenomena. Surely there are some of you who have experienced things not scientifically provable? |

"... you are all here in a very closed minded state which instantly and in the same way does the opposite...."
Really?... All?... bit of a sweeping generalisation, not to mention laughably supescillious.
Whilst I might agree that there may be some (or even many) who have closed minds, I must ask how many posters here have you actually met or spent sufficient time with to come to such a judgment?...
You certainly know next to nothing about me.
