VICTOR ZAMMIT v GEORGE NEGUS: ‘INTERVIEW
NOT LEGITIMATE’ - Last Tuesday afternoon I  was
invited supposedly for an interview for the G.Negus. 6.30
national television show. But it turned out it was not a
‘legitimate’ interview or a discussion. In relation
to the paranormal, George N showed he does not have the
skills, competence and the ability to perceive the paranormal
with true scientific balance – because he’s
an extreme-closed minded skeptic! This is because of his
unconscious defences of 'rationalization through cognitive
dissonance', 'cathexis' and 'deletions' I talked about elsewhere
(see below "WHY CLOSED MINDED SKEPTICS DO NOT ACCEPT
THE PARANORMAL")
Continued:-
During the brief session, G Negus
was cynical, irrational, intrusive and highly discourteous.
He violated ethics and procedure. He seemed determined not
to let me answer one question. He kept on butting in, interrupting
every time I tried to say something.
I was led to believe that the questions would be on the
material on my website. I was informed that he had a look
at my 'afterlife' website and was satisfied it was substantive.
On that basis I accepted to do the interview.
But immediately he brought up the Loch Ness Monster, and
Elvis and asked, “Have you been to the afterlife
and returned? If you haven’t I'm not convinced."
Then he asked whether I was a medium and whether
I could bring his all his relatives through to talk to him
then and there. He said he was not interested in
the findings of scientists who investigated. Finally,
he said (showing he's a short term planner) that he is not
interested in what happens when you die because he has 'enough
problems here'.
I was totally misled. He had invited me to come into the
studio on the pretext of discussing my afterlife research
but once in the studio he:
- asked NOTHING about why the critical
revolutionary evidence for the afterlife is now SCIENTIFIC,
- asked NOTHING why the critical evidence for the afterlife
amounting to proof is objective and repeatable,
- asked NOTHING about the many brilliant scientists who
used science to test the afterlife evidence and were convinced
that the afterlife exists,
- asked NOTHING about the highly ranked tough skeptical
police who conceded that gifted psychics and mediums have
genuine afterlife contact - as I showed on my homepage,
- asked NOTHING about
the spectacular evidence of materializations where over
200 loved ones were reunited - the greatest proof for the
existence of the afterlife to-day,
- asked NOTHING about my $1 million dollar challenge and
why the genius skeptics and genius scientists and materialists
failed to beat it,
- asked NOTHING about why some scientists do not
accept the afterlife,
- showed he did not understand -
or his skeptical unconscious did not want him to know about
the value of Scientific Methodology when doing afterlife
experiments - something which could have shattered his closed
skepticism,
- showed he did NOT understand the difference between subjective
evidence (beliefs) and objective evidence,
- showed he did not want to discuss
the huge success the Windbridge Institute had in using science
to test mediums
- showed he had NOT read the material on my website,
- showed he did not understand and did NOT want to understand
that contact with the other side can be made only under
special controlled conditions – not in ten seconds
during a studio interview - as he demanded,
- did NOT understand when I said I had communication from
the other side from my younger sister who talked to me in
the same voice as she had when on earth about things we
discussed before she died - he dismissed it as it never
happened.
Would anyone call that a rational, intelligent and proper
interview? Of course not!! Clearly he is motivated by his
deep negative anti-paranormal prejudices and his own negative
beliefs (I 'believe' here is nothing he said) which cannot
be independently substantiated.
Only last week I outlined why CLOSED MINDED SKEPTICS do
not have the ability, the skills and the competence to accept
the evidence for the afterlife- see below. G.Negus should
go to a psychologist to explain his irrational blind closed-minded
skepticism so that he will be able to SEE the most
important evidence we have in this world with true empirical
and scientific balance.
I think the ONLY reason I was invited in was because he
thought he would be able to use me to ridicule the paranormal
and the afterlife. This he would do to try to justify his
closed minded skepticism. But I was just as tough and assertive
as he was.
Once I realized that no-one would
gain from seeing the "interview" I asked that
it NOT be shown - there was concern that manipulated editing
would denigrate the paranormal and the afterlife. The same
day I received confirmation it would not be shown.
I really don’t know why he bothered to call me in
to the Network to waste hours of our most precious time!
This G Negus reminded me of that Pope who told Galileo (pictured)
that  he
was NOT going to investigate the scientific evidence which
contradicted the Pope's personal beliefs. It took the Church
over 330 years to admit it that it was the Pope who was
wrong in not investigating the scientific evidence. From
George's conduct, it seems reasonable to say, it will take
him just as long to accept the evidence for the afterlife
- except that he's likely to cross over in the next couple
of decades.
NOTE CAREFULLY: Old time atheistic, materialistic closed
minded journalists like George are out of touch with the
modern situation. People today are VERY interested in scientific
explanations - in the scientific evidence for the
paranormal. They are not interested in beliefs and blind
faith.
Surveys show that between 70 and
80% accept the paranormal and the afterlife- even though
fewer than 20% attend church on Sundays. It may come as
a shock to the conservatives, that more people to-day in
the Western world accept the paranormal than are going to
Church on Sundays.
When American paranormalist-medium John Edward visited Sydney,
some 20,000 went to see him at short notice. That gives
some indication as to the rapidly changing trends. Many
Christian clergy now admit the existence of the paranormal
- even the Vatican these days has its own paranormal department.
They did not beat us - they are joining us!
Andrew Greeley the sociologist found that only 5% are closed
minded skeptics. This means that a staggering 95% of the
people are receptive to the evidence for the afterlife.
This George N should obtain the professional services of
three non-aligned scientists who would have the capacity
and the competence to perceive the paranormal with true
empirical equanimity (keep away from those closed minded
skeptics who did NOT investigate and have not rebutted the
afterlife evidence - showing WHERE, WHEN, HOW and WHY the
afterlife evidence ought not to be accepted). The non- aligned
scientists will explain and educate George that there is
value in science - that science is cumulative - from the
Tiger Moth aeroplane to sending rockets to moon, mars and
to the universe. These scientists will tell George that
when some of the most brilliant scientists who ever lived
scientifically investigated the afterlife evidence and accepted
the evidence that should be enough to accept the afterlife.
Finally, George N should get an attorney/barrister to explain
and educate George what technically constitutes admissible
objective and repeatable evidence. The attorney will explain
to this George that in professional debate, no one on earth
can ever rebut objective and repeatable evidence. That's
why no one can ever beat the afterlife evidence. But there
will never be enough evidence for those irrational, unreasonable,
closed-minded skeptics who will not accept any evidence
not consistent with their own cherised negative blind beliefs..
- see below why this is the case:-
WHY
CLOSED MINDED SKEPTICS REFUSE TO ACCEPT THE PARANORMAL AND
THE AFTERLIFE EVIDENCE.
1. Psychology defence:
a) 'rationalization through cognitive dissonance': a defence
the skeptical mind puts to information which is fundamentally
inconsistent with cherished conditioned beliefs. The skeptical
mind rationalizes that the inconsistent information cannot
be right because, if allowed to get through, the information
will cause a 'dissonance' - conflict - and anxiety to the
skeptic’s ‘comfort-zone’. This means the
heart will beat faster, the blood pressure will increase,
he will start to sweat a little. So the skeptical mind says
NO - and goes into complete DENIAL- says the information
cannot be right - and rejects the information even if the
inconsistent afterlife evidence is scientifically proven
to be correct.
2. Cathexis: this refers
to the skeptic's mind being irrationally and powerfully
bonded like super-glue with 'closed minded' skepticism which
forms a core part of his identity. Of course, cathexis also
refers to other people being irrationally and psychologically
bonded to other things or other ideas.
3. Neurolinguistic Programming (NLP)
talks about 'deletions'- when information fundamentally
inconsistent with the skeptic's world view is automatically
deleted without examination. According to NLP the skeptic's
mind will 'delete' that information to keep the mind and
body of the skeptic in the 'homeostatis' (peaceful) condition
- calm, tranquil, undisturbed in its comfort zone.
4. Beliefs determined by environment:
if the closed minded skeptic was born to a devout Hindu
family in India, the skeptic is guaranteed to have a belief
in the Hindu religion. If born in Iraq or Iran or in any
Islamic country, this skeptic will have Islamic beliefs.
If born in Israel to an orthodox Jewish family, the skeptic
would have Jewish beliefs etc...
So the challenge for the skeptic is to rise
above his early conditioning, remove the mental blocks and
learn how to perceive all information in a scientifically
balanced way
