Telepathic Communication
[ send me this paper ]
A 5 page paper seeking theoretical support for the existence of telepathy and then evidence of its existence. Some experience telepathic events but rarely if ever speak of the event, fully convinced they have been involved in telepathic communication. Still others seek to research it, separate reality from wishful thinking and give credence to its existence. The mechanism of telepathy remain unclear, and of course others are adamant that it does not even exist. Those who claim to have had direct and personal experience with telepathic communications remain absolutely convinced that telepathy is very real. Bibliography lists 11 sources.

The Case Against the Existence of ESP
[ send me this paper ]
A 4 page paper refuting the claims of parapsychology researchers. The paper acknowledges that there are indeed occurrences that we cannot understand based on the knowledge that we now have, but maintains that our own lack of knowledge is far from sufficient reason to conclude the existence of ESP. Many phenomena that were unexplainable in years past have since been shown to be attributable to natural laws, and there is little reason to conclude that there are no more natural laws left to discover. Explanation for the unexplainable may well come at a later date. For now, no psychic research has been shown to be duplicatable, a prime rule of scientific investigation.

The Effects Of Distant Intentionality On Self-Esteem, Depression And Anxiety In Emotionally Disturbed Adolescents Attending A School Of Special Education
[ send me this paper ]
17 pages in length. To impose circumstantial evidence upon the scientific community as a means by which to prove the existence of something is much the same as trying to convince a skeptic that ghosts are a reality: it only evokes immediate rejection. Such is the case with Distant Intentionality and its role within the controlled environment of emotionally disturbed adolescents attending a school of special education. Asserting that a 'person can intentionally influence another person's autonomous activity from a distance (i.e. both persons are in different rooms, and the influenced person does not know of the presence of the influencing person)' (Gamma, 2000, p. 14), Distant Intentionality looks beyond the stringent scope of scientifically proven approaches to suggest that the mind is more powerful in addressing psychological circumstances than any tried and true scientific process.
