Then it shouldn't be a problem to design a test for these abilities. And yet nobody has ever passed a properly controlled study? Why is that? How could something that is real also be untestable?
Maybe proof sometimes cannot come that way?
My friend would agree. She says in her case it doesnt work that way. She says she would fail tests. She says it doesnt work if she tries to do it. She says she never knows when it is going to happen. She says she does not try to receive information. It just comes to mind. Always unexpected. It is nothing like guessing, she says
For example, she and I were talking on the phone, across the country...I said I gotta go, my friend says dinner is being served. She said "Having eggplant?" I didnt know what was for dinner. On a different occasion I mentioned that I was helping a friend with house painting. She said "Blue?"
She says that what comes to her mind is always correct, for as long as she can remember, 50+ years. She never tries or guesses....It just comes on its own, she says. She says it is never future or past tense. She says it happens once or twice a month.
She also says she would not pursue it as in gambling, or in any other way. Not interested, she says. She also says she will often keep it to herself because it can be upsetting, or something someone would rather not know.
I'd
not presume it would happen the same way in all cases. To me this question remains an open issue. I do know that eggplant was served, and that I was using blue paint.
I'll ask for more about this next time I talk to her.
