Theories on the Physical Basis of PSI (i.e.: ESP and PK).


Spectrum of beliefs
as a primary element late 18th century. Mesmer queried the plausibility that an imbalance of this fluid in the human body created illnesses. He hypothesized that the fluid was magnetic in nature and that the fluid in a sickened body could be lessoned or healed through massage or by waving magnets over the body. He postulated that illness resulted from obstacles in the flow of fluid throughout the body and that magnetics were a key factor in the obstructions. He felt individuals could control fluid actions through mesmeration or massage of body poles?overcoming obstructions and inducing crisis often through convulsions to restore health and harmony of the human body with nature.

Mesmerism alluded to telepathy and other psychical phenomena within the Mesmerist message, but dissociated itself eventually with the use of magnets becoming a mental discipline It is now associated with early forms of hypnotism.

The scientific premises behind PSI and PK are expansive, therefore-this article in the series on the Six Senses will be formulated into a two-part article. This is the close of the first half, we will pick up with Mesmerism and early hypnosis delivering the "science" behind these concepts that has been derived from extremely learned and talented scientists of recorded history. There is much to learn from these scientists and a greater awareness of the factuality of PSI and PK is a welcome tool in the modern age.

Until next time! Good new age perspectives to you. Thank you for visiting this article and website.
