Victor's Response to skeptics' "there
is no afterlife...."
The closed minded skeptic who stated: "There
is no afterlife
if psychics were real why don't they
predict race winners
Las Vegas results, terrorist
attacks
" is into what psychologists call 'rationalization
to avoid cognitive dissonance.' He's got rigid untested
ideas into his head - so that when he encounters information
which is fundamentally inconsistent with his entrenched
cherished beliefs, he panics. The inconsistent (albeit empirically
validated) information creates dissonance -giving him too
much anxiety. So that to offset the anxiety and other negative
physical and psychological response -- such as acceleration
of the heart beat, etc, to obtain homeostasis (internal
equilibrium ) he becomes irrational and goes into extreme
denial, negativity, sarcasm
rationalizing his cherished
beliefs etc to save his ego. I notice how emotional he gets
on TV when he tries to defend his closed minded skepticism.
One has to understand psychic phenomena holistically. Material
gain is not usually part of the psychic deal. As to pre-cognition,
there have been empirically validated cases where there
was accuracy in the prediction - the Prof Gary Schwartz
experiments with Chris Robinson - who British espionage
service M15 chiefs employed him for his exceptional pre-cognition
skills in catching terrorists in England relatively recently.
Chris Robinson is on record for advising US Embassy in the
UK about terrorist attacks in New York - before the 9-11
attack. The usual closed minded response to deny credit
to the prediction is to claim it was a 'fluke' - even when
the odds went into billions to one of the incident coming
by chance each time.
The closed minded skeptic is a product of his environment
and shows he is unable or unwilling or both to transcend
the environmentally induced Eurocentric perception of the
world. It takes patience, skill and intelligence to rise
above the 'boggle threshold' and overcome the negative programming
which was part of the conditioning process in the environment
where we grew up.
Let's face it if a closed minded skeptic was born into
a family of anti-U.S. Moslem extremists somewhere in the
Middle East with daily intense conditioning of those beliefs,
it would be very likely he would see the world from that
rigid, singular biased perception.
That is why I keep on repeating that to validate beliefs
one has to apply scientific method - empiricism. There is
absolutely nothing objective about closed minded skepticism
- in fact, technically, anti-psychic skepticism is a 'belief.'
And any belief which cannot be independently substantiated
is inevitably subject to complete invalidation.
Example: The closed minded skeptic says, "Nothing
happens when we die
" There is no objective authority
to validate that statement. Where's the 'independent' objective
evidence for that? Absolutely none! The skeptic is making
a most heinous and egregious intellectual blunder when he
cites 'subjective authority' for making that statement!
That statement would be inadmissible at law and inadmissible
in any informed debate.
I usually find that skeptics have not done the reading,
the research, the investigating. Why have they not rebutted
the great works of the physicists and other most brilliant
psychics who walked this planet earth - these the last 100
years or so? Some of these scientists are cited in my homepage
and also I have in Chapter 2 in my book A LAWYER PRESENTS
THE EVIDENCE FOR THE AFTERLIFE www.victorzammit.com
Would these most brilliant scientists and others from around
the world who used their scientific skills to investigate
and then conceded the existence for the afterlife get together
in a conspiracy to fool the people of the world? The level
headed response would be of course not!
In my fairly intense investigation I myself experienced
direct contact with those who passed on. There is nothing
in this world to explain that the phenomena were physical
in origin. I do predict that before too long, non physical
energy - the most important discovery in human history -
will be accepted by the majority.
Of course, there will never be sufficient objective evidence
for those negatively prejudiced against impartially who
do not want to accept the evidence.
Finally let me quote Dr Dean Radin, "
skeptics
who continue to repeat the same old assertions that parapsychology
is a pseudo science, or that there are not repeatable experiments,
are UNINFORMED not only the state of parapsychology, but
also about the current state of skepticism!" (p 209

Phenomena.)
