...Or Why Dog Drool is Paranormal in Nature.

1) Drool vs. Spiritual Attachment - It will attach itself to you and nothing short of an exorcism can get it off. Be forewarned.

2) Drool vs. Ectoplasm. Ectoplasm begins clear and then darkens and becomes visible. In extreme cases, it will develop a strong odor. Enough said.

3) Drool vs. UFOs - Occurring especially after bath time. Watch when Fido gives himself a good shake. The Truth is Out There.

4) Drool vs. Spirit Manifestation - There have been cases where drool has been reported to manifest on its own with no probable cause.

5) Drool vs. ESP - My dog is especially sensitive to the times I'm wearing my Calvin Klein dress that can only be dry-cleaned. I can only attribute this to the fact that the drool itself, must be psychic.

6) Drool vs. Reincarnation - Reborn even after I've killed it with a washcloth. Drool is eternal.

7) Drool vs. Out of Body Experiences - The sensation you get when you've failed to dodge the sticky thread of saliva as it smacks you in the face.

8) Drool vs. Demonic Possession - You know that gleam in your dog's eye when drool trails down the sides of his mouth? And he takes a step towards you...and another...and another?

9) Drool vs. Orbs - If you watch very carefully, these can be seen surrounding the threads of saliva as it's flung in senseless abandon.

10) Drool vs. Paranormal in General - Drool is way scarier. Run in fear.

#Paranormal Wednesday-ESP

A couple of years ago, I took part in an ESP study run by one of the professors at the Rhine Research Center. The study was an interesting one and I've been called back several times as a research participant. It's a little weird, feeling like a guinea pig, but the people out there are super-nice.

 

Extrasensory perception or ESP involves reception of information not gained through the recognized physical senses but sensed with the mind. There are several different kinds.

Telepathy – Receiving messages from the mind of another person or in some cases, animals.

Clairvoyance – Ability to use an ‘inner sight’ to see events that will happen in the future or have happened in the past.

Precognition – Foretelling events that are going to happen in the future.

Retrocognition – Seeing things that have already happened. People who have retrocogniton sometimes help the police to piece together the events of a murder or abduction.

Psychometry – The ability to touch an object to learn its history.

Have you experienced any of these? According to experts, there are several exercises and types of equipment to help you develop your ESP.

* Zener cards, which are a set of five cards that have a specific symbol on each. They were developed by Duke University to test people’s degree of psychic strength. Purchase (or make a set of your own) or go here for an online version.
* Meditation. Find a style that suits you. The benefits of meditation are better control over your thoughts, calmness and overall awareness.
* Read books on the subject.
* Practice alone or in small groups interested in the same goals. The more you practice, the more you increase your skills.

Have fun!
