Spectral Paladin Posted September 29, 2004 Share Posted September 29, 2004 Do you believe that the kind of prescience that Paul and his son had can actually be achieved by a human being? They were supposed to shape the future in the way the wished.I wondered this while watching a show by Uri Geller, of whom you have already heard. This guy is supposed to be able to bend spoons, make non-working watches work or even guess what another man has painted without seeing it. There are also stories about the power of his will - when he was 12 years he was called by a club to cheer and encourage the players and that year that club won the championship. In a Newcastle-Arsenal match he cheered for Newcastle and they won 3-1. Of course those things may not be true but couple this with what is said-that we only use a small percentage of our mind and that if we used our entire brain we would actually be able to move objects. So do you think it is possible to train ourselves in such a way so that we accomplish things by the power of our will, like Leto II for instance?

NHJ BV Posted September 30, 2004 Share Posted September 30, 2004 If anything like it exists, I believe it's some kind of rare genetic "defect". I do not think you can learn it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nemafakei Posted September 30, 2004 Share Posted September 30, 2004 "This guy is supposed to be able to bend spoons, make non-working watches work or even guess what another man has painted without seeing it."Easy, done it, never tried it."In a Newcastle-Arsenal match he cheered for Newcastle and they won 3-1"And how many times did he cheer for the wrong side, and kept quiet about it.Seroiusly, though, insofar as our consciousness is linked to a straightforward one-way passage through time only by means of a phychological mechanism to keep us sane, and not due to some other law, we cannot preclude prescience of a sort. Of course, you have to later be told the answer, and you can't know what'll happen after you die. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He isn't supposed to bend spoons by brute force but through the power of his will. Same with watches."In a Newcastle-Arsenal match he cheered for Newcastle and they won 3-1"And how many times did he cheer for the wrong side, and kept quiet about it.This isn't something he does often. It was a crucial match that seemed very difficult to win, that's why he was called. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
